"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear." - Harry S. Truman.

"I used to say we should take our chances on facing the world without a secret, deadly arm. Now, I say flat out we'll be safer, and healthier, and stronger if we close down the operations side of the CIA, and keep the National Security Council as a strict advisory office only, without any secret police like the CIA to go out and run operations for them. We need good intelligence but we don't get it from the CIA machine." - John Stockwell, "Secret Wars of the CIA," November 3, 1989.The assassination of American citizens by the American government did not begin in the Obama and Bush era. The CIA used assassination as a political tool against domestic critics and foreign enemies way before the War on Terror began. By the time of the false flag September 11 attacks, the CIA was thinking about murdering humans wholesale like cattle.
