“In some ways she was far more acute than Winston, and far less susceptible to Party propaganda. Once when he happened in some connection to mention the war against Eurasia, she startled him by saying casually that in her opinion the war was not happening. The rocket bombs which fell daily on London were probably fired by the Government of Oceania itself, "just to keep the people frightened."” PeopleWayWarGovernmentPartyOpinionHappenedHappeningsConnectionsLondonPropagandaBombsFrightenedRocketsSusceptibleOceania Book:1984 Source: 1984
“Well, Rush, look what happened? 9/11 happened, and we didn't know it in advance. That's right, we got hit, we got hit big time. We need a new agency to make sure it doesn't happen again, Rush." And that was the excuse for starting Department of Homeland Security. The government grows and grows and grows and grows, and what do we get?

“One of the greatest disasters that happened to modern civilization was for democracy to inscribe "liberty" on its banners instead of "justice." Because "liberty" was considered the ideal it was not long until some men interpreted it as meaning "freedom from justice"; then when religion and decent government attempted to bring them back to justice, organized into "freedom groups" they protested that their constitutional and natural rights were being violated.” MenLongWisdomGovernmentPoliticsNaturalJusticeLibertyEconomyDemocracyRightsHappenedGroupsModernCivilizationIdealsDisasterOrganizedDecentLiberalismBannerNatural RightsModern Civilization Author:Fulton J.

“Mother’s Day really was in its origin an antiwar day, an antiwar statement. Julia Ward Howe was sickened by what had happened during the Civil War, the loss of life, the carnage, and she created Mother’s Day as a call for women all over the world to come together and create ways of protesting war, of making a kind of alternate government that could finally do away with war as an acceptable way of solving conflict.” WorldWayKindWarGovernmentTogetherMotherLossHappenedConflictStatementsCivil WarAntiwarAcceptableMothers DayJuliaCarnageDuring The Civil War Author:Gloria Steinem
