WORDS OF WISDOM MOHIN. I WILL REPEAT IT AND HAVE SAID IT BEFORE. NO ONE CAN INFLUENCE THE DECISION OF THE DISTATOR, AND IF THEY DO EXPRESS THEMSELVES WHILE IN HIS ORGANIZATION, THE YWILL BE HISTORY, AND THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN TIME AND AGAIN. IN THIS ORGANIZATION REASON, INTELLIGENCE AND THE CONVICTION TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT IS NOT THE MOTIVATING FACTOR. THE LOVE OF POWER AND THE DESIRE FOR LONGEVITY OF THE REGIME IS THE MOTIVATING FACTOR AND ALL ELSE IS SECONDARY.
