« `...` the most totalitarian institution in human history - or almost - is probably a multinational: it is an institution run by a central power in which the scheme of authority follows a rigorous order from the top down. Control is in the hands of owners and investors; If you are inside the organization, you receive orders from the higher level and have them followed to the lower level; if you are outside, there is only a weak popular control which, in fact, erodes very quickly. page 160 »

« One of the components of the technique of confiscating the power of the population is to ensure that real change fades from history and is never recognized for what it is. It is therefore necessary to distort the history and give the impression that it was the Great Men who did everything. This is partly how people are convinced that they can't do anything, that they are powerless and that they just have to wait for a Great Man to come and do everything for them. page 154 »
