There is nothing more pathetic than for the mind to respond to the delusions of the priesthood, for man to transform from a thinking being into a mere echo reverberating in the void, chanting the name of a leader he has never seen, whose presence he has only sensed on a screen, as if the image had become more real than reality, as if this absent person in his cave had become a god to whom hands were raised and heads bowed.

The danger that threatens us is not just a war waged with weapons, but a war waged in the depths, in the roots, in the memory that is being reshaped, in the language that is being reshortened, in the generations that are being kidnapped before they realize themselves, and are being reprogrammed for blind obedience, for complete surrender.
