"Electronic communication and rapid transportation make possible a stifling world government. Techniques such as genetic engineering, psychoactive drugs and electronic control of the brain make possible a transformation of the species into docile, fully-obedient, 'safe' organisms."
William Sims Bainbridge
"It's been demonstrated that well within two minutes of watching television, most people enter a hypnotic alpha state bordering on theta. Viewers in this state are no longer able to critically evaluate, discern, or pass judgement from their own moral database on the material being viewed. The information just flows, unimpeded, into their subconscious year in and year out."
Jeff Rense, talk-radio host
"[T]he destruction of the large traditional family was necessary not only for the indirect effect on economic growth via the reduction of fertility but also for its direct effect in producing a society more attuned to the modern economy."
Frank W. Notestein, quoted in John Caldwell's Limiting Population Growth and the Ford Foundation Contribution, (1986) p. 26.
"Everything secret degenerates, even the administration of justice;
nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity."
Lord Acton
