“The biggest threat to the American people today lies with the United States government. ...

And for some time, days, months, a year perhaps, life has a peace-time quality, into which war-like events intrude. But when a war has been going on for a long time, life is all war, every event has the quality of war, nothing of peace remains.” YearsLongHas BeensWarLife IsQualityEventsMonthsLong TimeRemainsPrisonThreatBombsTraitorAnnouncements Book:The Four-Gated City Source: The Four-Gated City
“I had many, many, many death threats. I couldn't open letters for a long time, because they all had to be opened by either the FBI or somebody. I couldn't open letters. I had to be escorted.
