The Obama Government’s Secret Societies
https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/269115/obama-governments-secret-societies-daniel-greenfield

-- "Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality of those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change." - Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), A Farewell to Arms, 1929
