Junta Quote by Joseph Befumo
““Why is this so critical to the ruling junta? Because they know that the moment the People realize that their common enemies are not ‘the blacks’, and are not ‘the whites’, but the men in thousand dollar suits; in black robes of office; men with leather brief cases, fancy haircuts, and Rolex watches; men protected by blue uniforms and gold badges; no security force on earth will be sufficient to protect them from the righteous wrath of those whom they have conspired to exploit.””
