There are two methods where by masterful ambitious men may hold any population in a

state of ordered subjectivity. The first and by far the most honorable method is through an

irresistible and highly-trained standing army, ready to deploy anywhere; with mechanical

precision at a telegraphic nod in order to lay down the Law at the cannon's mouth and

sweep away all dangerous opposition.




The second and cheaper method is, first of all to inoculate those intended to be exploited

with some poisonous political soporific, superstition, or theoria; something that operating

insidiously,hypodermically, may render them laborious, meek, and tractable.




The latter plan has ever proved itself most effective because populations that

would fight to the last gasp against undisguised military despotism; may be induced to

passively submit to any indignity or extortion, if their brains are first carefully soaked in

some Abstract Lie!!!!!
