Pawns are moved.
Mountains are shaved.
Roads are laid down,
For the warriors day.
Never be happy with where you are.
Be happy with where you are going.
Göring:
Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece?
Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Gilbert:
There is one difference. In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.
Göring:
Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.
-Quotes from the Nuremberg trials.
Despite Goring being a Morphine addicted, perverse idiot, he knew what he was talking about.
Tactics used by our Democratic nation to this day.
An awful man sitting upon the throne to judge all creatures, and examining the righteous and the sinners.
He being the first to die as martyr, God brought him hither [to the place of judgment in the nether world] to give judgment, while Enoch, the heavenly scribe, stands at his side writing down the sin and the righteousness of each.
For God said:
I shall not judge you, but each man shall be judged by man. Being descendants of the first man, they shall be judged by his son until the great and glorious appearance of the Lord, when they will be judged by the twelve tribes of Israel, and then the last judgment by the Lord Himself shall be perfect and unchangeable.
For the ages of man I doth kneel to thy domain. A knife to my neck and a kiss to my corpse.
You best believe in magic boy, because it sure as hell believes in you.
