Attached is the article
which I wrote for the August 2012 edition of Liberty's Torch. It is more true
now than 18 months ago.
Wake
up, Cheyenne! A quote from Betrand de Juvenal is appropriate, " A society of
sheep must, in time, beget a government of wolves".
However, Winston
Churchill put it best in a 1945 radio address:
No Socialist Government conducting the
entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or
violently-worded expressions of public discontent. They would have to fall back
on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanely directed in the first instance.
And this would nip opinion in the bud; it would stop criticism as it reared its
head, and it would gather all the power to the supreme party and the party
leaders, rising like stately pinnacles above their vast bureaucracies of Civil
servants, no longer servants and no longer civil. And where would the ordinary
simple folk – the common people, as they like to call them in America – where
would they be, once this mighty organism had got them in its
grip?
