As a citizen, you need accurate information to be able to make decisions and formulate appropriate actions. Pervasive censorship and secrecy should be the first clue to any institution’s illegitimacy.

Citizens have rights, institutions live on sufferance; ours.

Governments are institutions.

To blindly trust government is to automatically vest it with excessive power. To distrust government is simply to trust humanity – to trust in the ability of average people to peacefully, productively coexist without some official policing their every move. The State is merely another human institution – less creative than Microsoft, less reliable than Federal Express, less responsible than the average farmer husbanding his land, and less prudent than the average citizen spending his own paycheck. – James Bovard

The constitutional right of free speech has been declared to be the same in peace and war. In peace, too, men may differ widely as to what loyalty to our country demands, and an intolerant majority, swayed by passion or by fear, may be prone in the future, as it has been in the past, to stamp as disloyal opinions with which it disagrees. – Justice Louis Brandeis

My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of the higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military. – Major General Smedley Butler, Medal of Honor x 2, stopped a military coup against F.D. Roosevelt, supporter of the Bonus Army

To be paranoid means to believe in delusions of danger and persecution. If the danger is real, and the evidence credible, then it cannot be delusional. To ignore the evidence, and hope that it CANNOT be true, is more an evidence of mental illness. – William Blase Men willingly believe what they wish. – Julius Caesar
