It is control by the psychological manipulation of consciousness, through which reality is defined so that those who exist within it do not even realize that they are in prison. They do not even realize that there is something outside of where they exist.

• The sanction of force stands behind the medley of personal orders and regulations of Martial Law. The sanction of the people's consent stands behind the hierarchy of laws.

• During the last dozen years the tales of suppression of free assemblage, free press, and free speech, by local authorities or the State operating under martial law have been so numerous as to have become an old story.

• Así, estas tres enmiendas a la Constitución [13ª, 14ª y 15ª] fueron ratificadas mientras los diez estados del Sur estaban bajo la ley marcial, y "no tenían ley alguna". Las Leyes de la Fuerza, las cuatro Leyes de Reconstrucción y la Ley de Derechos Civiles fueron todas aprobadas por el Congreso mientras a los estados del Sur no se les permitía celebrar elecciones libres, y todos los votantes estaban bajo la estrecha supervisión de tropas federales. Ni siquiera la Rusia soviética ha escenificado nunca semejantes burlas de los procedimientos electorales.
