"What better way to confine and misdirect them than with the swirl of mutual destruction . . . Why are impoverished workers and peasants killing other impoverished workers and peasants?

. . . We have enemies at home: the schemers who trade our blood for sacks of gold, who make the world safe for hypocrisy, safe for themselves, readying themselves for the next “humanitarian war.”
See how sleek and self-satisfied they look, riding our backs, distracting our minds, filling us with fright about wicked foes. Important things keep happening, but not enough to finish them off. Not yet enough."
