"To the States or any one of them, or any city of the States, Resist much, obey little, once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved, once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever afterward resumes its liberty."
Walt Whitman
"The State is that organization in society which attempts to maintain a monopoly of the use of force and violence in a given territorial area; in particular, it is the only organization in society that obtains its revenue not by voluntary contribution or payment for services rendered but by coercion."
Murray N. Rothbard
"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
"Unfortunately, it is a typical German trait to think that obedience par excellence is a virtue. We need the civil courage to say 'no'."
Fritz Bauer
"The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation."
Vladimir Lenin
"A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude."
Aldous Huxley | Schöne neue Welt
"Real power is achieved when the ruling class controls the material essentials of life, granting and withholding them from the masses as if they were privileges."
George Orwell
"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. All laws will be uniform under a legal system of world courts practicing the same unified code of laws, backed up by a One World Government police force and a One-World unified military to enforce laws in all former countries where no national boundaries shall exist.
The system will be on the basis of a welfare state; those who are obedient and subservient to the One World Government will be rewarded with the means to live; those who are rebellious will simply be starved to death or be declared outlaws, thus a target for anyone who wishes to kill them.
Privately-owned firearms or weapons of any kind will be prohibited."
Dr. John Coleman
"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
"The pursuit of health is a symptom of unhealth. When this pursuit is no longer a personal yearning but part of state ideology, healthism for short, it becomes a symptom of political sickness."
Petr Skrabanek
"Justice always involves two sides: the one who pays for it and the one who gets it."
Ursula von der Leyen
"If the first half of the twentieth century was the era of the technical engineers, the second half may well be the era of the social engineers — and the twenty-first century, I suppose, will be the era of World Controllers, the scientific caste system and Brave New World. [....] The older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles, and mysteries. Under a scientific dictatorship, education will really work' with the result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown."
Aldous Huxley |
"All government agencies lie part of the time, but NASA is the only one I've ever encountered that does so routinely. "
George A. Keyworth
"Approximately 300 men that know each other and that appoint their successors themselves determine the fate of this world. Their power exists in absolute confidentiality."
Walter Rathenau
"Ecologism is (among quite a few other ism) a decay product of Marxism. The failed "impoverishment thesis" is replaced by the eco- and climate catastrophe. The goal is the extinction of capitalism - and thus of Western freedom."
Roland Baader
"I think there are two ways in which people are controlled. First of all, frighten people, and secondly, demoralise them. An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern. And I think there’s an element in the thinking of some people... ‘We don’t want people to be educated, healthy and confident, because they would get out of control."
Tony Benn
"According to the idea of the NSDAP [Nazi party], we are the German left. Nothing is more hateful to us than the right-wing national ownership block."
Joseph Goebbels
“Dictators seek to control men’s thoughts as well as their bodies and so they attempt to dictate science, education and religion. But dictated education is usually propaganda, dictated history is often mythology, dictated science is pseudo-science.”
Edwin Grant Conklin
"Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious."
George Orwell
"Donald Trump is a friend of mine, and he works very hard"
P Diddy (who was born Sean Combs)
"It is a great consolation in elections that only one of several candidates can be elected!"
Mark Twain
"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state must support Hamas and the transfer of money to Hamas [...] This is part of our strategy to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank"
Benjamin Netanjahu
"If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without them knowing it."
Edward Bernays
"What do you think would be going on here, if more people realized what was going on?"
Volker Pispers
"When crimes begin to pile up they become invisible. When sufferings become unendurable the cries are no longer heard. The cries, too, fall like rain in summer."
Bertolt Brecht
"If you believe that the most basic human liberties ought to be contingent on taking a product from a giant pharmaceutical company then you are not liberal or left wing. You’re not a conservative or patriotic. There is only one word to describe you and that is Fascist."
Dave Smith
"If we see that Germany is winning, we ought to help Russia, and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don't want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances."
Harry S. Truman
