It's enough to want something: it's given to you, and you have no choice but to pay its price.” “Years ago, when the Russian space agency announced that it had reached the surface of the Moon, it presented an image of this conquest; later, from the inconsistent lighting and the sizes of the astronauts' shadows on the Moon, the truth came out that the images were fake and that Russia had not been the first to conquer the Moon. Last year, when Payam learned this truth, he asked himself the same question he would ask himself again a year later in a dark security detention centre: “Is a bigger lie more believable?”” “The power stored in people's beliefs is hidden, just like the energy inside the nucleus of an atom. To split the nucleus of these beliefs and release their energy there is a process, today classified as a technique; in this process all the frameworks and values in a person's mind are destroyed, and the mind is focused on one particular subject that counts as the target. At this stage people cannot perceive any boundary between notions such as “sacrifice and suicide” or “mission and crime”. People at this level, which this method calls the alpha level, will be capable of historic crimes such as the events of September 11 and various suicide attacks.”
