“if you can find money to kill people you can find money to help people…

keeping people hopeless and pessimistic, see I think there are two ways in which people are controlled; first of all frightened people and secondly demoralized. An educated healthy and confident nation is harder to govern, and I think theres an element in the thinking of some people; we don’t want people to be educated healthy and confident because then they would get out of control. The top 1% of the worlds population own 80% of the worlds wealth, I think its incredible that people put up with it, but, there poor there demoralized there frightened so they think perhaps the safest thing to do is take orders and hope for the best”
