Most people prefer to believe their leaders are just and fair
even in the face of evidence to the contrary
once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which they live
is lying and corrupt
the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it
To take action in the face of a corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones
To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self~image of standing for principles
Most people do not have the courage to face that choice
Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker
but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all
so, do we just give up?
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country
against his government..

I am now quite sure that 'Tragedy and Hope' was suppressed although
I do not know why or by whom. ~ C.Quigley ~
