• "Of course the people don't want war. But after
  all, it's the leaders of the country who
  determine the policy, and it's always a simple
  matter to drag the people along whether it's a
  democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a
  parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or
  no voice, the people can always be brought to the
  bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you
  have to do is tell them they are being attacked,
  and denounce the pacifists for lack of
  patriotism, and exposing the country to greater
  danger." -- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg
  trials

• WINSTON CHURCHILL "We shall fight on the

  many owed so much to so few

• In 1942, unbeknownst to her adoring public, the
  unlikely duo secured a patent and gave it to the
  United States government for a "Secret
  Communications System" expressly constructed to
  assist in the defeat of Hitler.
• The science presented in this patent serves as
  the basis for the technology we use today in cell
  phones, pagers, wireless Internet, defense
  satellites, and a plethora of other
  spread-spectrum devices.
