"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a Communist dictatorship. ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." - Reichmarshal Hermann Goering, Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe
(Strauss) "argues that the wise must conceal their views for two reasons - to spare the people's feelings and to protect the elite from possible reprisal. ... The people will not be happy to learn that there is only one natural right - the right of the superior to rule over the inferior...and the wise few over the vulgar many. ... Lies are necessary to protect the superior few from the persecution of the vulgar many. ... And it does not take much intelligence for (his acolytes) to surmise that they are in a situation of great danger, especially in a world devoted to the modern ideas of equal rights and freedoms. So, they come to the conclusion that they have a moral justification to lie in order to avoid persecution." - Shadia Drury, author of "The Political Ideas of Leo Strauss" and "Leo Strauss and the American Right"
"Those who are fit to rule are those who realize there is no morality and that there is only one natural right - the right of the superior to rule over the inferior. ... Such governance can only be established, however, when men are united, and they can only be united against other people." Leo Strauss, the Father of Neoconservatism
"During a war, news should be given out for instruction rather than information. Not every item of news should be published. Rather must those who control news policies endeavor to make every item of news serve a certain purpose." - Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda
"Never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or a wrong; never concede there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it." - Joseph Goebbels
"See in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propanganda."
- George W. Bush
"This war has made possible for us the solution of a whole series of problems that could never have been solved in normal times." - Joseph Goebbels
"Think about 'how do you capitalize on these opportunities' to fundamentally change American doctrine, and the shape of the world, in the wake of September 11th." - Condoleeza Rice, Secretary of State (reportedly) to the National Security Council
"The neoconservatives 'have taken full advatage of the nation's outrage over 9/11 to advance their fully formed drive for empire.' " Claes Ryn, Professor of Political Science, the Catholic University of America
"To know truth is to have power. News is what powerful people don't want you to know. Everything else is public relations." - Bill Moyers, Journalist

- Thomas Paine, Founding Father, Revolutionary Radical Intellectual, Author
