"... it is urgently important for you to understand the nature of the enemy. You are attacked, not for any errors or flaws, but for your virtures. You are denounced, not for any weaknesses, but for your strength and your competence."

"...'imperialism' is the name given to the foreign policy of this country, which has never engaged in military conquest and has never profited from the two world wars, which she did not initiate, but entered and won."

(Ayn Rand, address to the graduating class of the United States Military Academy at West Point, March 6, 1974. See also "Philosophy: Who Needs It", p. 9)

The prophet Moroni warned us against these violent conspiracies:

Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.

For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; (Ether 8:24-25)
