Stardust Ranch Quotes

“Remember, government at an etymological level means to govern the mind from the Latin mente, which means mind. It's impossible for a government that does not have the support of the people to control a large population without fear, tyranny, and secret police, as was the case in some of the communist countries in Eastern Europe, or control is maintained through a collective fairy tale that everybody wants to believe because it's convenient and not believing it would raise too many uncomfortable questions.”
― John Edmonds, Stardust Ranch: The Incredible True Story
