Subject: Don't Trust Government/s!!
"Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely
according to conscience, above all liberties."-- John Milton
"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil
obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the
world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government
and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this
obedience. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the
world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war,
and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the
jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand
thieves are running and robbing the country. That's our
problem."-- Howard Zinn, from "Failure to Quit"
"For those who stubbornly seek freedom, there can be no more urgent
task than to come to understand the mechanisms and practices of
indoctrination. These are easy to perceive in the totalitarian
societies, much less so in the system of 'brainwashing under
freedom' to which we are subjected and in which all too often we
serve as unwilling instruments."-- Noam Chomsky
"With numbing regularity good people were seen to knuckle under the
demands of authority and perform actions that were callous and
severe. Men who are in everyday life responsible and decent were
seduced by the trappings of authority, by the control of their
perceptions, and by the uncritical acceptance of the experimenter's
definition of the situation, into performing harsh acts. A
substantial proportion of people do what they are told to do,
irrespective of the content of the act and without limitations of
conscience, so long as they perceive that the command comes from a
legitimate authority."-- Stanley Milgram, 1965
[Stanley Milgram was a psychologist who performed a series of
experiments that proved conclusively that obedience to authority
was so ingrained in the average U.S. citizen they were prepared to
cause lethal harm to others when instructed by authority figures to
do so. All those who took part were first asked if they would be
capable of killing or inflicting severe pain on their fellow human
beings. 100% replied categorically 'no'. http://tinyurl.com/

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substanceânot soap-boxingâplease! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'âwith its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright fraudsâis used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
