"In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

-George Orwell (Eric Blair)

"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty."

Thomas Jefferson

Neither of these attributions are correct. John Basil Barnhill said "Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty." That was around 1914.

The other quote is not found in Orwell's work and I have only been able to find it back to the 1980s.

“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.” ― Joseph Goebbels

"Never believe anything you read on the internet" - Abraham Lincoln

I feel like you're implying the quote in OP is made up, but as far as I can tell it is not.

Just putting that out there.

He was being funny.... sometimes people just wabt you to laugh.

"Sometimes people just want you to laugh" - Adolf Hitler

"Let America laugh."

-Socrates

"Socrates loves a humorous fable" Tyrannosaurus Rex

No that wasn't my intention at all, sorry for the confusion.

This is my favourite

“Most men are not wicked... They are sleep-walkers, not evil evildoers.” ― Franz Kafka

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. ▲ Thomas Jefferson ▲

I like this one.

"All war is deception."

"Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate."

"Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster."

-Sun Tzu

-The Art of War

The Giles translation is from French. It's a poor translation.

That French translation was made back in 1910 by an academic. Go for the Samuel B. Griffith translation for a better Sun Tzu experience. He's a military man translating a military text. And he goes directly from the Chinese to English with some alternative translations. As opposed to the Giles which is from Chinese to French and then to English.

Just throwing that out there for those who care.

It was not my intention to doubt that, the Doctrines of the Illuminati, and principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am.

George Washington, October 24, 1798

Doesn't this mean that he thought that they were not in the United States. Or was affecting to think that out of good manners?

no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am.

It means he was certain they already were in the United States.

“One of the key characteristics of an elite corps is its susceptibility to those more powerful than itself. Elite power is naturally attracted to a power hierarchy and fits itself neatly, obediently into the one that promises the most personal benefits. Here is the Achilles’ heel of armies, police and bureaucracies.”

― Frank Herbert, The White Plague

“For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure--one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” ― David Rockefeller

"I don't believe it's possible for like I said, terrorists, so-called terrorists, to train on a (cessna) 172 and jump in the cockpit of a 757/767 glass cockpit and - vertical navigate the aircraft, lateral navigate the aircraft, and fly the airplane at speeds exceeding its designed limit speed by well over 100 knots, make high-speed, high-bank turns exceeding, probably 5,6,7 g's, and the aircraft would literally fall out of the sky. I couldn't do it, and I'm positive they couldn't do it."

Then have the ability to fly at only a few feet above ground over a highway and between two trees 300 feet away into the Pentagon with out leaving a mark on the highway. and trees, and a rut in the ground. I guess just lucky huh? Wait I know the answer. It was the hand of Allah guiding the jihad warrior to strike at the devils infidels. Allah Akbar!!!

"Just a month before, Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong had left their colleague, Michael Collins, aboard spaceship Columbia and walked on the Moon...The old carpenter asked me if I really believed it happened. I said sure, I saw it on television. He disagreed; he said that he didn't believe it for a minute, that 'them television fellers' could make things look real that weren't. Back then, I thought he was a crank. During my eight years in Washington, I saw some things on TV that made me wonder if he wasn't ahead of his time." - Bill Clinton
