Any alliance whosepurpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless anduseless

By the skillful andsustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or anextremely wretched life as paradise.

Hate is morelasting than dislike

It is always moredifficult to fight against faith than against knowledge


It is not truththat matters, but victory

Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believeit

Success is the soleearthly judge of right and wrong.

Those who want tolive, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world ofeternal struggle do not deserve to live.


Words build bridgesinto unexplored regions.

Humanitarianism isthe expression of stupidity and cowardice

Society's needscome before the individual's needs.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
