How to take control of the people!

The best way to take control of a people and to control them utterly is to take away a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.

Comment:

This quote is often attributed to Hitler but those who have tried to find the exact reference including myself, have failed to find any proof of this. Nevertheless, much truth is contained in these words and it is worth repeating so I will leave it here for the reader's consideration without attribution to any specific person.
