"We didn’t want this war. The enemy is responsible for this war. The enemy’s leader is the devil. We’re fighting for a good cause. The enemy is using forbidden weapons. Horrible acts committed by the enemy are intentional; ours are accidental. Our casualties are minor; those of the enemy are significant. Artists and intellectuals support our cause. Our cause is holy/righteous. If you question (1)-(9), you are a traitor." Baron Arthur Ponsonby

"A 'war against X' decreed from above - be it against 'terror' or against a pandemic - is never about what is declared to be fought.

Prof. Reiner Mausfeld

"The organizing principle of any society is for war. The basic authority of the modern state over its people resides in its war powers. Today it's oil, tomorrow, water. It's what we like to call the GOD business: Guns, Oil, and Drugs. But there is a problem. Our way of life, its over. It's unsustainable and in rapid decline. That's why we implement demand destruction. We continue to make money as the world burns. But for this to work the people have to remain ignorant of the problem until it's too late. That's why we have triggers in place: 9/11, 7/7, WMDs. A population in a permanent state of fear does not ask questions. Our desire for war becomes *its* desire for war. A willing sacrifice. You see, fear is justification, fear is control, fear is money. You're a brilliant soldier and I could still use someone like you." Gerry Langdon
