Emma Goldman | do you not realize that the State is the worst enemy you have?

in

“Men and women … do you not realize that the State is the worst enemy you have? It is a machine that crushes you in order to sustain the ruling class, your masters. Like naïve children you put your trust in your political leaders. You make it possible for them to creep into your confidence, only to have them betray you to the first bidder. But even where there is no direct betrayal, the labour politicians make common cause with your enemies to keep you in leash, to prevent your…

Michael Rivero | Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker

in

“Most people prefer to believe their leaders are just and fair even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which they live is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of a corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one’s self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to…

Rainer Mausfeld | More than 50 years of elite democracy have shown us

in

“More than 50 years of elite democracy have shown us where this road leads. It is the path of destruction. The destruction of community, the destruction of the idea of community, the destruction of life by the millions, the destruction of cultural and civilizational substance – especially in the Third World – and the destruction of our ecological foundations. The beneficiaries of this destruction have no reason to change this path of destruction. The necessary energy for change can only come from below – from us. That is our task…

John Henry Mackay | I am an Anarchist

in

“Ever reviled, accursed, ne’er understood, Thou art the grisly terror of our age. “Wreck of all order,” cry the multitude, “Art thou, and war and murder’s endless rage.” O, let them cry. To them that ne’er have striven The truth that lies behind a word to find, To them the word’s right meaning was not given. They shall continue blind among the blind. But thou, O word, so clear, so strong, so pure, Thou sayest all which I for goal have taken. I give thee to the future! Thine secure…

C.S. Lewis | Of all tyrannies

in ,

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a…

Marvin Simkin | Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch

in

“Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.” Marvin Simkin “Demokratie ist nicht Freiheit. Demokratie sind zwei Wölfe und ein Lamm, die darüber abstimmen, was sie zu Mittag essen. Freiheit kommt von der Anerkennung bestimmter Rechte, die nicht genommen werden dürfen, nicht einmal durch eine 99 %-ige Abstimmung.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Florian Willet | sad human truth

in

Murray N. Rothbard | The State is that organization in society

Rothbard “Der Staat ist diejenige Organisation in der Gesellschaft, die versucht, das Monopol der Anwendung von Zwang und Gewalt in einem bestimmten territorialen Bereich aufrechtzuerhalten; insbesondere ist er die einzige Organisation in der Gesellschaft, die ihre Einnahmen nicht…

Fritz Bauer | no to state injustice

in

“The certainly stirring but decisive lesson of our trials, however, demands a readiness to say an unequivocal no to state injustice.” The trials demand that people renounce private and family advantages and are also prepared to make personal sacrifices if they are required to do or tolerate evil, even if it is the state that makes itself the advocate of evil.” Fritz Bauer, »Im Namen des Volkes. Die strafrechtliche Bewältigung der Vergangenheit«, in: Helmut Hammerschmidt (Hrsg.), Zwanzig Jahre danach. Eine deutsche Bilanz 1945-1965. München u.a.: Desch Verlag, 1965, S. 314….

Dr. John Coleman | A One World Government […] in the form of a feudal system as it was in the Middle Ages.

in

“A One World Government and one-unit monetary system under permanent non-elected hereditary oligarchists who self-select from among their numbers in the form of a feudal system as it was in the Middle Ages. In this One World entity, population will be limited by restrictions on the number of children per family, diseases, wars, famines, until 1 billion people who are useful to the ruling class, in areas which will be strictly and clearly defined, remain as the total world population. There will be no middle class, only rulers and servants….

John Quincy Adams | I do conscientiously and sincerely believe that the Order of Freemasonry

in

“I do conscientiously and sincerely believe that the Order of Freemasonry, if not the greatest, is one of the greatest moral and political evils under which the Union is now laboring … a conspiracy of the few against the equal rights of the many …Masonry ought forever to be abolished. It is wrong – essentially wrong – a seed of evil, which can never produce any good.” John Quincy Adams | was an American politician and diplomat and the sixth President of the United States from March 4, 1825 to…

Aldous Huxley | I believe that the world’s rulers

in

„Within the next generation I believe that the world’s rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience. In other words, I feel that the nightmare of Nineteen Eighty-Four is destined to modulate into the nightmare of a world having more resemblance to that which I imagined in Brave New World. The change…

Edwin Grant Conklin | Dictators seek to control men’s thoughts

Smedley Darlington Butler | I might have given Al Capone a few hints

in

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American…

Jon Rappoport | Socialism is

in

“Socialism is: The taking of money (taxes) from some people who work for it and giving it to others who don’t work for it. On a grand scale. The vast expansion of freebies doled out by central government. In order to create and sustain dependence. The government protection of favored persons and corporations, permitting them and aiding them to expand their fortunes without limit, regardless of what crimes they commit in the process. (Monsanto would be a fine example.) The squeezing out of those who would compete with the favored…

Albert Jay Nock | The State, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social

in

“The State, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.” Albert Jay Nock (1870-1945) American libertarian author, editor, educational theorist, Georgist, social critic “Der Staat ist sowohl in seiner…

Ludwig von Mises | The champions of socialism

in

“The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in…

Milan Kundera | The first step in liquidating a people

in

“The first step in liquidating a people, is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster.” Milan Kundera “Der erste Schritt zur Eliminierung von Menschen, besteht darin, ihr Gedächtnis zu löschen. Zerstören Sie ihre Bücher, ihre Kultur, ihre Geschichte. Dann bitten Sie jemanden, neue Bücher zu schreiben, eine neue Kultur…
