There are but two
powers in the world, the sword and the mind. In the long run the sword
is always beaten by the mind.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In view of the
primitive simplicity of their minds they more easily fall a victim to a
big lie than to a little one, since they themselves lie in little
things, but would be ashamed of lies that were too big.
Such a falsehood will never enter their heads and they will not be able tobelieve in the possibility of such monstrous effrontery and infamous misrepresentation in others; yes, even when enlightened on the subject, they will long doubt and waver, and continue to accept at least one of these causes as true. Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, part I chapter X
I shall give
a propagandist cause for starting the war never mind whether it be
plausible or not. The victor shall not be asked later on whether we
told the truth or not.
Adolf Hitler, speech to
inner circle, Aug. 22, 1939
Everyone
is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.
Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan
We can have an honest disagreement, but
when we can't even agree on the facts, someone is lying.

Box Voting. org University of Iowa Computer Science Department analysis of Diebold flaws Diebold head says he will do anything to get Bush re-elected This long, so here's a crucial excerpt: In Georgia, Republican Saxby Chambliss repeatedly questioned the patriotism of Democratic incumbent and triple amputee war hero Max Cleland during his campaign. Chambliss made the absurd claim that he was more patriotic than Cleland even though he had avoided service in the Vietnam war with a "medical deferment". A Poll taken by the Atlanta Journal Constitution published on November 1st, just five days before the election, showed support for Georgia Democratic Senator Max Cleland at 49%, clearly 5% ahead of Republican Saxby Chambliss at 44%. Many People in Georgia, particularly veterans, had been angered by the crude remarks made by Chambliss and they turned out in record numbers to vote for Cleland. When the 'Diebold' Electronic Voting tally was made public it stunned and confused the Georgia voters. Saxby Chambliss had won with 53% of the vote compared to Max Cleland's 46%. It represented a 13% pro-Republican swing that seemed to materialize out of cyberspace. The victories of Chambliss and Hagel, along with the tragic October 25, 2002 plane crash that killed Democratic Senator Paul Wellstone, virtually guaranteed Republican control of the Senate.

News 9/11 Business & Intervention War Is a Racket by Major General Smedley Butler two time Medal of Honor winner He tells the real cause of every military campaign he fought in President Eisenhower's Farewell Address: In
the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of
unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military
industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced
power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together. ***US Military Interventions*** Great list that gives causes, propaganda, and inciting incident for wars.
