Empire of Lies Quotes

“They bragged about democracy and demonized countries that didn’t have it, but they didn’t really believe in democracy. They believed in hypocrisy. Their moral compass had spun out of control, from the very top down.”
― Raymond Khoury, Empire of Lies

“They elected a con man instead, an ignorant crook who craved adoration and did and said whatever it took to win. That tore them apart even more.”
― Raymond Khoury, Empire of Lies

“They called themselves Christians, but there was nothing Christian about them. They just worshipped money, sex, and brainless entertainment. A flashier car, bigger breasts, and more likes on their Facebook posts: that’s what they lived for, and yet they dared look down on us and criticize the way we lived. These fat, lazy, stupid bastards were happily filling their bodies and minds with junk to the point that they became proud and defensive about their ignorance. And that was the ultimate sting of democracy, you see: the insane idea that one man’s ignorance was just as worthy as another man’s knowledge. The ludicrous idea that the vote of the uninformed is just as valid as that of the educated.”
― Raymond Khoury, Empire of Lies
