My plan can become a reality if we don't waste our
resources on limited strategies. Instead of waiting
for people to join the system, we need to create a
worldwide sequence of threats and emergencies
that impels citizens to voluntarily give up
their freedom.

And why would they do this? That's easy to answer.
Because we've turned them into children scared of
the dark. They will be desperate for our help,
terrified of a life outside their cubicle filled
with predators and danger.

(A character in John Twelve Hawks'
_The Golden City_ [2009], Chapter 18)

It's always in somebody's best interest to promote
enemies--real or imagined.
