“The most insidious forms of oppression are those that so insinuate themselves into our communications and the recesses of our minds that we do not even realize they are acting upon us. The most powerful ideologies are not those that prevail against all challengers but those that are never challenged…The enormous gap between what US leaders do in the world and what Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda accomplishments of political mythology.”
