They should all just go home. They already won. Remember this quote?

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." - William J. Casey, CIA Director (1981)

> This quote, often phrased as "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false," is widely attributed to William J. Casey, who served as the Director of Central Intelligence (CIA) under President Ronald Reagan from 1981 to 1987.

> While frequently cited in literature and discussions about propaganda and media manipulation, the quote's authenticity is highly disputed and unverified.
