TEAL'C
(sadly)
Have we truly lived as slaves for so long that we must fear being free?

GERAK
It has nothing to do with freedom. Enlightenment is just within our reach.

TEAL'C
Or so the Ori would have us believe.

[Teal'c approaches a stone monument in a clearing. Gerak looks stricken when he reads the glyphs on the monument and realizes where they are. Teal'c watches his reaction.]

GERAK
Why have you led me here?

TEAL'C
I thought it fitting that on this day when we must sacrifice our short-lived freedom, that we do so here, at the site of the battle of Tazek'sur, where your father gave his life for this very cause. You began to doubt the Goa'uld long before this rebellion took shape, Gerak. It was your father's death at their hands that led you to question 'what god is so deserving of my worship?'"

GERAK
You were not the one who was chosen. You did not witness the wonders I beheld.

TEAL'C
Did they raise the dead? Heal the sick and wounded? Destroy their enemy with but a wave of their hand?

GERAK
The Goa'uld deceived us. The Ori's powers are pure.

TEAL'C
And what is the measure of a god, Gerak? Is it the scope of their power, or how they choose to wield that power? Would a god who is prepared to lead us on the path of enlightenment so contradict this divine benevolence by destroying all those who refuse to believe in him?

GERAK
Those who refuse to believe must die.

HAIKON
I apologize for making you wait, but I just came back from a mission of great importance.

JOLAN
We were informed of a world of non-believers who were conspiring against the Ori. The Prior dispatched us to "deal" with them.

MITCHELL
You mean kill them.

[Mitchell picks up his tea.]

HAIKON
Well, we were told they posed a considerable threat. "Leave not the smallest pebble, nor allow any hindrance that will slow your people's progress." So said the Prior.

MITCHELL
Yeah, the Priors say a lot of things. Look, I'm the last person to criticize someone for what they believe, but—

HAIKON
If your intention is to convince me to withdraw support for the Ori, you need not bother.

MITCHELL
You're making a big—

HAIKON
I have already decided as much.

MITCHELL
What?

JOLAN
We went to the planet as the Prior instructed. Two hundred strong to eliminate any threat. We were expecting an army. What we found were simple farmers, too naive to understand the consequences they faced for daring to defy the Ori.

HAIKON
The Sodan are proud warriors. We do not kill innocent people.

MITCHELL
So, you didn't follow through.

JOLAN
We left them unharmed. But before returning here, we had to put all doubts to rest, so we traveled to another world, one rumored to have refused the Ori. The entire civilization was decimated by a mysterious plague. There was no one left.

MITCHELL
(soberly)
Yeah, that's what they do. In fact they're doing it on Earth right now, as we speak. And it'll probably happen here when the Prior gets back and finds out you didn't obey his orders.

HAIKON
How can we resist so powerful an enemy?

MITCHELL
Well, I can tell you, but you're probably not going to like it.

Also, despite how I tell myself often that I am ready and mentally prepared to take the big step into that great big empty world where I can finally get some privacy today was a wake up call. The reality of non-reality is something that the human mind, at least my own human mind, cannot understand until actually in the presence of such new wisdom. Sometimes I think that only someone as dumb as myself can be. Something. I don't know.

No, sir. The man doesn't even have a decent pie crust.

The Ori are not going to ascend you. They lied to you, and anyone else they could take advantage of.

PRIOR

LANDRY
Exactly, and the sad fact is you gave it all up for nothing. The life you had is gone. The Ori took it away from you.

The American Presidency Project

Barack Obama

XLIV President of the United States: 2009 - present

677 - Executive Order 13676 - Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria

September 18, 2014

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order as follows:

Section 1. Policy. The discovery of antibiotics in the early 20th century fundamentally transformed human and veterinary medicine. Antibiotics save millions of lives each year in the United States and around the world. The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, however, represents a serious threat to public health and the economy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) estimates that annually at least two million illnesses and 23,000 deaths are caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the United States alone.

Detecting, preventing, and controlling antibiotic resistance requires a strategic, coordinated, and sustained effort. It also depends on the engagement of governments, academia, industry, healthcare providers, the general public, and the agricultural community, as well as international partners. Success in this effort will require significant efforts to: minimize the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria; preserve the efficacy of new and existing antibacterial drugs; advance research to develop improved methods for combating antibiotic resistance and conducting antibiotic stewardship; strengthen surveillance efforts in public health and agriculture; develop and promote the use of new, rapid diagnostic technologies; accelerate scientific research and facilitate the development of new antibacterial drugs, vaccines, diagnostics, and other novel therapeutics; maximize the dissemination of the most up-to-date information on the appropriate and proper use of antibiotics to the general public and healthcare providers; work with the pharmaceutical industry to include information on the proper use of over-the-counter and prescription antibiotic medications for humans and animals; and improve international collaboration and capabilities for prevention, surveillance, stewardship, basic research, and drug and diagnostics development.

The Federal Government will work domestically and internationally to detect, prevent, and control illness and death related to antibiotic-resistant infections by implementing measures that reduce the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and help ensure the continued availability of effective therapeutics for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Sec. 2. Oversight and Coordination. Combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a national security priority. The National Security Council staff, in collaboration with the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Domestic Policy Council, and the Office of Management and Budget, shall coordinate the development and implementation of Federal Government policies to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including the activities, reports, and recommendations of the Task Force for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria established in section 3 of this order.

Richard Nixon

XXXVII President of the United States: 1969 - 1974

220 - Letter to the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee About National Security Investigations and Wiretaps.

July 15, 1974

YOUR letter of June 25 has been brought to my attention, and I welcome this opportunity to affirm my public statement of May 22, 1973, as quoted in your letter, and to add the following comments.

You appreciate, I am sure, the crucial importance of secrecy in negotiations with foreign countries. Without secret negotiations and essential confidentiality, the United States could not have secured a cease-fire in South Vietnam, opened relations with the People's Republic of China, or realized progress in our relations on the SALT negotiations with the Soviet Union.

The circumstances that led to my decision to direct the initiation of an investigative program in 1969 are described in detail in the May 22 statement. I ordered the use of the most effective investigative procedures possible, including wiretaps, to deal with certain critically important national security problems. Where supporting evidence was available, I personally directed the surveillance, including wiretapping, of certain specific individuals.

I am familiar with the testimony given by Secretary Kissinger before your Committee to the effect that he performed the function, at my request, of furnishing information about individuals within investigative categories that I established so that an appropriate and effective investigation could be conducted in each case. This testimony is entirely correct; and I wish to affirm categorically that Secretary Kissinger and others involved in various aspects of this investigation were operating under my specific authority and were carrying out my express orders.

Orlin?

ORLIN
Sam. Are you all right?

[Carter walks into the room.]

CARTER
I'm fine. It's you I'm worried about. We just got your test results back. They show significant and progressive changes in different areas of your brain.

ORLIN
What kind of changes?

CARTER
A degenerative process that's already started to impair your cognitive functions.

ORLIN
I knew that when I took on human form, the memories I brought with me would eventually fade.

CARTER
That's only part of it. I mean it's not so much a result of you losing the memories, but more a consequence of your trying to hold onto them. Orlin, by not letting go of the Ancient knowledge, you're damaging your brain.

ORLIN
Yes. My human mind if failing under the…weight of so much information.

CARTER
You knew this would happen, didn't you?
(She scoffs.)
As an Ancient, how could you not have known?

ORLIN
Of course I knew, Sam. But I had no choice.

CARTER
But you have a choice now! Your brain is fighting a losing battle, stripping away whatever it can in an attempt to salvage the memories related to the cure. Give them up, and you could stop this from progressing any further.

ORLIN
I can't do that. There's too much at stake.
