". . . in America, we have achieved the Orwellian prediction - enslaved, the people
have been programmed to love their bondage and are left to clutch only mirage-like
images of freedom, its fables and fictions. The new slaves are linked together
by vast electronic chains of television that imprison not their bodies but their
minds. Their desires are programmed, their tastes manipulated, their values set
for them. "Gerry Spence, From Freedom to Slavery.

« The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions
of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate
this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the
true ruling power of our country . . . we’re dominated by the relatively small
number of persons . . . it is they who pull the wires which control the public
mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the
world. » Edward Bernays - Propaganda, Liveright Publishing Company, New York,
2005, excerpts from pp. 9-19

« Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived
notion, follow humbly wherever and whatever abysses nature leads, or you will learn
nothing. » - Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895)
