"No people was ever held in subjection long except through their own consent. For three generations the American people have been conditioned from cradle to grave by the cleverest and most thorough psychotechnicians in the world. They believe! If you turn them loose now, without adequate psychological preparation, they will go back to their chains… like a horse returning to a burning barn. We can win the revolution but it will be followed by a long and bloody civil war-which we will lose!' "
