3/16/2018 0 Comments Quote #14In short, the unequivocal supremacy in space enjoyed by the United States today will be increasingly at risk. As Colin Gray and John Sheldon have written, “Space control is not an avoidable issue. It is not an optional extra.” For U.S. armed forces to continue to assert military preeminence,control of space – defined by Space Command as “the ability to assure access to space, freedom of operations within the space medium, and an ability to deny others the use of space” – must be an essential element of our military strategy. If America cannot maintain that control, its ability to conduct global military operations will be severely complicated, far more costly, and potentially fatally compromised. - from Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century, a report of The Project for the New American Century, written by Donald Kagan, Gary Schmitt, and Thomas Donnelly (September 2000)
3/15/2018 0 Comments Quote #13Equally industrious is the "fake" news agency. There are agencies that manufacture news to order. Papers, they reason, must have news. If there is any subject concerning which the public is eager to read, and for any reason the reporters cannot give the facts, the "fake" news agency is a welcome 'resort. These bogus news agents are paid a certain amount a "stick" for their false news. - from One Thousand Ways to Make Money by Page Fox (1900)

Spivak (1939)

Now we have a situation where you all across the ocean, whether it's in the British Isles or whether it's on The Continent, are completely so subservient to our government that you're unwilling to help us out. - Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst; member of Veterans for Peace; member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (14th November 2014)
3/10/2018 0 Comments Quote #9After Austria was invaded and [Lord] Halifax was asked by his close friends what he had cooked up over there, he told the above story, expressing the fear that his conversation was probably misunderstood by Goering, the latter taking his amiability to mean that Great Britain approved Germany's plans to swallow Austria. The French Intelligence Service, however, has a different version, most of it collected during February, 1938, which, in the light of subsequent events, seems far more accurate. Lord Halifax, these secret-service reports state, pledged England to a hands-off policy on Hitler's ambitions in Central Europe if Germany would not raise the question of the return of the colonies for six years. Within that period England estimated that Hitler would have expanded, strengthened his war machine and fought the Soviet Union to a victorious conclusion. - from Secret Armies: The New Technique of Nazi Warfare by John L. Spivak (1939)
