This is a critically important fact-check for American history.
For thirty years, a fake quote has been widely circulated, attributed to CIA Director Bill Casey from a Reagan cabinet meeting:
“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”
Finally, Mike Waller, Ph.D. Security Analyst, has tracked down the alleged source. Casey never said it.
Is Mike reliable? Yes. I met Mike during the Reagan administration. He and I attended dozens of meetings together at the Stanton Group, Library Court and elsewhere. He is currently working at the Center for Security Policy.
A few weeks ago, an image went viral. In Belgium a migrant used the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to cook an omelette. For many, the desecration brought to mind a quote from French author Jean Raspail, written in 1973 in his novel Camp of the Saints, about a sudden invasion of Muslim, Indian and African migrants into France:
“Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak door.”
“Beware of two errors: despising the world God sustains, or worshipping the culture He restrains.”
— Abraham Kuyper, Common Grace Vol. 1, Ch. 30
"[Successful NY Mayoral candidate] Mamdani built his campaign on the infrastructure of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA and its city allies can dispatch activists across New York and, with a network of progressive partner organizations, can mobilize young people, get out the vote, and do the work of door-to-door politics.
"We saw this dynamic many times in the twentieth century: socialists rise to power, their policies degrade the quality of life, and, as they enter the endgame, they tighten their grip on power and offload resentments onto their ideological, racial, and economic enemies.
"...the twentieth century taught us that left-wing voters have extraordinary defenses against reality."
-- Christopher Rufo
