"The ruling elite have the American people so well insulated from reality behind empty patriotic and democratic slogans that not many of them can be reached.  To be rescued from The Matrix you have to already be extraordinary.  I am not a savior who can rescue you, but I can push you toward self-rescue.  If you want to have a free mind, you can achieve it, but you must have the emotional strength for it.  Things are not as you have been trained to perceive them.  There is evil and corruption all around you. And it is in places and words that you have been taught to respect. " - Paul Craig Roberts
