Beware of the leader that bangs on the drum of war in order to whip up the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in siezing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all their rights unto the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar
It is not Shakespeare!

It has never appeared in print before 2001 and no to date has been able to find the actual author. It was not among any of Julius Caesar's belongings or writings.

It tells you right in the speech. It's Caesar, one of the greatest Roman generals.

Sounds like one of Hitlers boys to me, Goering, or Himmler maybe.
