If men lived 'like brothers' and had no powerful enemies
to contend with and surpass, they would rapidly lose all their best qualities;
like certain oceanic birds that lose the use of their wings, because they do not have to
fly from pursuing beasts of prey.

If all men had treated each other with brotherly love since
the beginning, what would have been the result now? If there had
been no wars, no rivalry, no competition, no kingship, no slavery,
no survival of the Toughest, no racial extermination, truly what a
festering 'hell fenced in' this old globe would be?

the western media is unleashing such a baseless propaganda, which makes us surprised but it reflects on what is in their hearts and gradually they themselves become captive of this propaganda. They become afraid of it and begin to cause harm to themselves. Terror is the most dreaded weapon in modern age and the western media is mercilessly using it against its own people. It can add fear and helplessness in the psyche of the people of europe and the united states. It means that what the enemies of the united states cannot do, its media is doing. You can understand as to what will be the performance of the nation in a war, which suffers from fear and helplessness

Just wanted to add it was Osama bin Laden.

Philip II, king of Macedonia and father of Alexander "The Great" sent a message to Sparta: "If I enter Laconia, Sparta will be fully destroyed."

The Spartans answered: "If."

Neither Philip II nor Alexander "The Great" ever invaded Sparta.

If one person has an imaginary friend they are thought to be crazy, if multiple people have the same imaginary friend... It's considered religion.

The reprisals of the weak against the strong do not really come within nature. They do from the moral point of view, but not the physical, since to take these reprisals the weak man must employ forces he has not received from nature. He must adopt a character that he has not been given. He must, in a way, contstrain nature. But what does really come from the laws of this wise mother is the harm unto the weak by the strong, since, to bring this process to pass, the strong man makes use only the gift which he has received from nature. He does not, like the weak, take on a character different from his own. He merely utilizes the sole effects of that which nature has endowed him. Therefore, everything resulting from that is natural; his acts of oppression, violence, cruelty, tyranny, injustice: all these diverse expressions of a character engraved in him by the hand of the power which placed him in the world are therefore quite as simple and as pure as the hand which guided him. And when he uses all of his rights to oppress the weak, to plunder the weak, he is therefore doing the most natural thing in the world. If our common mother had desired this equality that the weak strive so hard to establish, if she had really wanted the equitable division of property, why should she have created two classes, one weak, the other strong? Has she not, with this distinction, given sufficient proof that her intention was that it should apply to possessions as well as bodily faculties? Does she not prove that her plan is for everything to be on one side, and nothing on the other? And that precisely in order to arrive at the equilibrium that is the sole basis of all our laws, for in order that this equilibrium may exist in nature, it is not necessary that it be made to establish it. Their equilibrium upsets that nature. What, in our eyes, seems to us to go against it, is exactly that which, in hers, establishes it. And for this reason, it is from this lack of balance, as we call it, that are produced the crimes by which she establishes her order. The strong seize everything; that is the lack of balance, from man's point of view. The weak defend themselves and rob the strong; there you have the crimes which establish the equilibrium necessary to nature Let us therefore not have any scruples about what we can filch from the weak, for it is not we who are committing a crime. It is the act of defense, or vengeance, performed by he which has that character. By robbing the poor, dispossessing the orphan, usurping the widow's inheritance, man is only making use of the rights he has received from nature. The crime that consists in our profit from them, the penniless wretch that nature offers unto our blows is the prey she offers the vulture. If the strong appear to disturb her order by robbing those beneath them, the weak reestablish it by robbing their superiors, and both are serving nature.

The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.

He truly thought the people around him were idiots and treated them as so.

Seriously. He lived in his self created paradox that controlling the mass opinion is the greatest form of democracy when it's just telling people to do by working their unconscious primal desires.

Well Roosevelt was also given credit by the nazi's with his nationalized works projects.

Do you think what you know about the Nazi's is the truth, or are you the object of a propaganda campaign yourself? I ask merely so that you might ask yourself.

People in this day and age are idiots; divorced from reality, pathological and insane.

Your point is what?? That what we know about the Nazi's and WWII is nothing but the greatest propaganda campaign ever pulled off ????

My grandpa and his friends and some of my other family spent much of the Early 40's in Europe. My Great Grandpa spent most of 1917-18 in France I have talked at length with all of them (Great grandpa died in 1996 @ 98)

Simply knowing history isn't being an object of propaganda. Saying that I will say though that every source of information has it's bias or agenda.
