« It will not have escaped anyone that the democratic postulate affirms that the media are independent, determined to discover the truth and to make it known; and not that they spend most of their time giving the image of a world such as the powerful want us to represent ourselves, that they are in a position to impose the fabric of discourse, to decide what the good people have the right to see, hear or think, and to "manage" opinion with propaganda campaigns. »

« Honesty forces us to admit that we are now just as far as Descartes was three centuries ago to understand what allows a man to speak in an innovative way, free from stimulus control, as well as adequate and consistent.

« One of the things `the power holders` want is a passive, quiet population. Therefore, one of the things you can do to make their existence uncomfortable is to be neither passive nor quiet. There are lots of ways to do it. Even simply asking questions can have a significant effect. Protests, written letters and votes can all be helpful; it depends on the situation. But there is one point of paramount importance: sustained and organized action is needed. If you participate in an event and then go home, that is something; but the people in power can handle it very well.

No system of power, even if it is a fascist dictatorship, is indifferent to public dissent. »
