 "It is especially grotesque that Trump/Pence/Haley say the US should support killing innocent children/civilians in Yemen (and elsewhere) because it's good for our economy. If the only way our leaders can create American jobs is by sacrificing our souls, then we need new leaders." - Tulsi Gabbard. Member of U.S. Congress. @TulsiGabbard

"The term propaganda rings melodramatic and exaggerated, but a press that-whether from fear, careerism, or conviction-uncritically recites false government claims and reports them as fact, or treats elected officials with a reverence reserved for royalty, cannot be accurately described as engaged in any other function." -  Glenn Greenwald
 
"The western world now obeys the percepts of commerce. A bloody demanding religion,if you ask me. The do's and don'ts change every season and your "everyone" doesn't want to be left out, so they rush headlong to comply. That continuous change has a function,a single aim. Maximum consumption. They want to go on milking you. From the cradle to the grave. Face it: You're a brain washed, walking purse, a robot, the fuel multinationals run on." -  Esther Verhoef
 
 
"What reaches the heart without going through the mind is likely to bounce back and put the mind out of business. Propaganda taken in that way is like a drug you do not know you are swallowing. The effect is mysterious; you do not know afterwards why you feel or think the way you do." -  Mortimer J. Adler
