Alice Bailey | The Masonic Movement

in

“The Masonic Movement when it can be divorced from politics and social ends and from its present paralyzing condition of inertia, will meet the need of those who can, and should, wield power. It is the custodian of the law; it is the home of the Mysteries and the seat of initiation. It holds in its symbolism the ritual of Deity, and the way of salvation is pictorially preserved in its work. The methods of Deity are demonstrated in its Temples, and under the All-seeing Eye the work can go…

John F. Hylan | The real menace of our republic is this invisible government

in

“The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen….At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties.” John F….

Ignazio Silone | You can’t beg your freedom from someone

in

“Freedom is not something you get as a present,” said Pietro. “You can live in a dictatorship and be free – on one condition: that you fight the dictatorship. The man who thinks with is own mind and keeps it uncorrupted is free. The man who fights for what he thinks is right is free. But you can live in the most democratic country on earth, and if you’re lazy, obtuse or servile within yourself, you’re not free. Even without any violent coercion, you’re a slave. You can’t beg your…

Arnold Gehlen | devilish is he who erects the kingdom of lies

in

“And last: devilish is he who erects the kingdom of lies and forces other people to live in it. This still goes beyond the humiliation of spiritual separation, then the kingdom of the perverse world is erected, and the Antichrist wears the mask of the Savior (…). The devil is not the slayer, he is Diabolos, the slanderer, is the ‘God’ in whom the lie is not cowardice, as in man, but domination. He spills the last resort of despair, the knowledge, he instigates the realm of madness, because it…

Leo Tolstoy | The Anarchists are right in everything

in ,

“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution. But it will be instituted only by there being more and more people who do not require the protection of governmental power and by there being more and more people who will be ashamed of applying this power.” Lew Nikolajewitsch Graf Tolstoi…

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.

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.

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….

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…

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

“Dictators seek to control men’s thoughts as well as their bodies and so they attempt to dictate science, education and religion.

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

“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.

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…

John Henry Mackay | I am an Anarchist

“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…

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…

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…

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…
