This mostly seems to apply to now and some of the time leading up to WWII as it seems to still have the peoples wariness of foreigners and the economical crisis situation happening at the time.

It does seem a little difficult to read so here I will list them:

1. Vote as you're told.
2. Gladly pay your War Tax raises.
3. Don't ask questions. About anything.
4. Watch your neighbors. Especially foreign ones.
5. Forget what your 401 (k) used to be worth.
6. Don't worry about the environment.
7. Remember- Patriotism requires Blind Obedience.

---A Message from the Ministry of Homeland Security

The Ministry of Homeland Security isn't a real US department, it is just a website that is somewhere between a complete joke and a serious, informative safety precautional website.

History Quotes

We can learn from history how past generations thought and acted, how they responded to the demands of their time and how they solved their problems. We can learn by analogy, not by example, for our circumstances will always be different than theirs were. The main thing history can teach us is that human actions have consequences and that certain choices, once made, cannot be undone. They foreclose the possibility of making other choices and thus they determine future events.
-Gerda Lerner

History, we can confidently assert, is useful in the sense that art and music, poetry and flowers, religion and philosophy are useful. Without it -- as with these -- life would be poorer and meaner; without it we should be denied some of those intellectual and moral experiences which give meaning and richness to life. Surely it is no accident that the study of history has been the solace of many of the noblest minds of every generation.
-Henry Steele Commager

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
-Robert F. Kennedy
