 - John D. Rockefeller's General Education Board's "Occasional Letter #1"

"Education makes a man unfit to be a slave."  - Frederick Douglass

"Ours must be a leadership democracy administered by an intelligent minority who know how to regiment and guide the masses...The voice of the people expresses the mind of the people, and that mind is made up for it by the group of leaders in whom it believes and by those persons who understand the manipulation of public opinion.  It is composed of inherited prejudices and symbols and cliches and verbal formulas supplied to it by the leaders...It must be enlightened propaganda through the creation of circumstances, through the high-spotting of significant events and the dramatization of important issues."

 - Edward Bernays, architect of Woodrow Wilson's Committee on Public Information, the Father of Public Relations, and the nephew of Sigmund Freud

"A man who does not do his own thinking is a slave, and is a traitor to himself and his fellow men."  - Robert Ingersoll

"Evidently the powers that be (PTB) are so confident that they have the situation so under control that they can now afford to have us come to the realization that we are powerless to stop them and/or turn things around.  All that's needed to complete their strategy is for us to admit this new reality and resign ourselves to it.  We might still have a chance to change this reality but the window of opportunity once closed, probably will not open again for a long time."  - Mark Goldman

"Liberty means responsibility.  That is why most men dread it."  - George Bernard Shaw

"The present window of opportunity...will not be open for long - we are on the verge of a global transformation.  All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."  - David Rockefeller

"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion.  At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, pull back the curtains, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."  - Frank Zappa

"The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich lest we get it."  - Edward Dowling.

"Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear made men afraid to think.  But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it wants, is the liberty of appearing."  - Thomas Paine

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? ... I know not what course others make take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death."  - Patrick Henry
