« Quand tout le monde vous ment en permanence, le résultat n’est pas que vous croyez ces mensonges mais que plus personne ne croit plus rien. Un peuple qui ne peut plus rien croire ne peut se faire une opinion. Il est privé non seulement de sa capacité d’agir mais aussi de sa capacité de penser et de juger. Et avec un tel peuple, vous pouvez faire ce que vous voulez. »
