Johann Gottlieb Fichte | will never rise to idealism

"A character flabby by nature, or slackened and bent by mental bondage to learned luxury and vanity, will never rise to idealism."

Johann Gottlieb Fichte

Winston Churchill | There is only published opinion

"There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion."

Winston Churchill

Bertrand Russel | I should like to say two things

"I should like to say two things, one intellectual and one moral. The intellectual thing I should want to say is this: When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed. But look only, and solely, at what are the facts. That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say. The moral thing I should wish to say…I should say love is wise, hatred is foolish. In this world which is getting more closely and closely interconnected we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don't like. We can only live together in that way and if we are to live together and not die together we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet."

Bertrand Russell

Machiavelli | He who has once begun to live by robbery

"He who has once begun to live by robbery will always find pretexts for seizing what belongs to others."

Machiavelli

Henry Louis Mencken | The urge to save humanity

"The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it. Power is what all messiahs really seek: not the chance to serve. This is true even of the pious brethren who carry the gospel to foreign parts."

Henry Louis Mencken

Rob Schneider | If you turn off the news

"If you turn off the news and talk to your neighbors, you'll find that our country is far more harmonious than you're being told"

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

Samuel Edward Konkin III | Every victim of statism

"Every victim of statism has internalized the State to some degree. The IRS’s annual proclamation that the income tax depends on “voluntary compliance” is ironically true. Should the taxpayer completely cut off the blood supply, the vampire State would helplessly perish, its unpaid police and army deserting almost immediately, defanging the Monster."

Samuel Edward Konkin III

Nicholas Murray Butler | I divide the world into three Classes

"I divide the world into three Classes – The few who make things happen, the many who watch things happen, the overwhelming majority who have no notion of what happens."

Florian Willet | sad human truth

"One cause is rooted in the sad human truth that 'slaves' usually dream less of what it would be like to be free than of what it would be like to be 'slave overseers'"

Thích Nhất Hạnh | In order to rally people, governments need enemies

"In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us."

Nicolás Gómez Dávila | In an age in which the media broadcast countless pieces of foolishness

"In an age in which the media broadcast countless pieces of foolishness, the educated man is defined not by what he knows, but by what he doesn't know."

Megan Fox | we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only

"It's just a few drops. But yes, we do consume each other's blood on occasion for ritual purposes only. It is used for a reason and it is controlled where its like 'let's shed a few drops of blood and drink it. He's much more haphazard and hectic and chaotic, where he’s willing to just cut his chest open with broken glass and be like 'Take my soul. Let me bleed on you'. It doesn't not happen, let me tell you, maybe not exactly like that, but a version of that has happened – and many times."

Megan Fox

Abraham Lincoln | cut my throat when they find their opportunity

"I am for liberty of conscience in its noblest, broadest, and highest sense. But I cannot give liberty of conscience to the pope and his followers, the papists, so long as they tell me, through all their councils, theologians, and canon laws that their conscience orders them to burn my wife, strangle my children, and cut my throat when they find their opportunity."

Abraham Lincoln

The Analyst (Matrix) | His Matrix was all fussy facts and equations

"Now, my predecessor loved precision. His Matrix was all fussy facts and equations. He hated the human mind. So he never bothered to realize that you don’t give a shit about facts. It’s all about fiction. The only world that matters is the one in here. And you people believe the craziest shit. Why? What validates and makes your fictions real? Feelings."

Neil Patrick Harris | The Analyst (Matrix Resurrections (2021)) | Movie quote

Prof. Reiner Mausfeld | A ‘war against X’ decreed from above

"A 'war against X' decreed from above - be it against 'terror' or against a pandemic - is never about what is declared to be fought. All that is sold here as a war against a threat must not be successful at all, because its success for the economic and political centers of power lies precisely in not being successful and in remaining as a means of generating fear and securing domination."

Prof. Reiner Mausfeld

Machiavelli | All power is robbery

"All power is robbery and all its justification is pure ideology."

Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli

Dr. Robert Malone | Techno-fascism for the rest of their natural lives as serfs

“They are coming from a belief system that says that nation-state is an obsolete idea and we have to have a one-world government that is basically a fusion of the interests of corporations and politics, global politics. And we’ve got to start by finding out who they are, voting them out of office, making sure they are not part of our governments.

Two of the more prominent ones, are Governors Gavin Newsom of California and Jay Inslee of Washington. Both are WEF traitors working on behalf of foreign globalist interests, and are not, for all intents and purposes, true Americans.

We’ve got to out these people, we’ve got to force them to account for whether they’re Americans or whether they’re globalists, and if they’re globalists then they’ve got to get out. We’ve got to get rid of them, we’ve got to take back ownership of our country.

If you believe in the Constitution, if you believe in the principles of free speech and personal autonomy, medical autonomy and autonomy at every other level, then it’s time to fight. Or your children are going to live in basically a techno-fascism for the rest of their natural lives as serfs.”

Dr. Robert Malone

Alexis de Tocqueville | the species of oppression by which democratic nations

„I think then that the species of oppression by which democratic nations are menaced is unlike anything which ever before existed in the world: our contemporaries will find no prototype of it in their memories. I am trying myself to choose an expression which will accurately convey the whole of the idea I have formed of it, but in vain; the old words “despotism” and “tyranny” are inappropriate: the thing itself is new; and since I cannot name it, I must attempt to define it.

I seek to trace the novel features under which despotism may appear in the world. The first thing that strikes the observation is an innumerable multitude of men all equal and alike, incessantly endeavoring to procure the petty and paltry pleasures with which they glut their lives. Each of them, living apart, is as a stranger to the fate of all the rest – his children and his private friends constitute to him the whole of mankind; as for the rest of his fellow-citizens, he is close to them, but he sees them not – he touches them, but he feels them not; he exists but in himself and for himself alone; and if his kindred still remain to him, he may be said at any rate to have lost his country. Above this race of men stands an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications, and to watch over their fate. That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent, if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks on the contrary to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness: it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances – what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living? Thus it every day renders the exercise of the free agency of man less useful and less frequent; it circumscribes the will within a narrower range, and gradually robs a man of all the uses of himself. The principle of equality has prepared men for these things: it has predisposed men to endure them, and oftentimes to look on them as benefits.[....]“

Alexis de Tocqueville

Walt Whitman | once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved

"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

John Adam | All the Perplexities, Confusions and Distresses in America

"All the Perplexities, Confusions and Distresses in America arise not from defects in their Constitutions or Confederation, not from a want of Honour or Virtue, So much as from downright Ignorance of the Nature of Coin, Credit and Circulation."

John Adams

Nikolaus Roerich | The last war among men will be a war for truth

"The last war among men will be a war for truth. This war will be in every single person. War - with its own ignorance, aggression, irritation. And only a radical transformation of each individual person can become the beginning of a peaceful life for all people."

Nikolaus Roerich

Yuval Noah Harari | “I think maybe in a couple of decades when people look back

"I think maybe in a couple of decades when people look back, the thing they will remember from the Covid crisis is this is the moment when everything went digital and this was the moment when everything became monitored, that we agreed to be surveilled all the time, not just in authoritarian regimes, but even in democracies and maybe most importantly, this was the moment when surveillance started going under the skin, because really we haven’t seen anything yet. I think that the big process that’s happening right now, the world is hacking human beings, the ability to hack humans, to understand deeply what’s happening within you, what makes you go.

For that, the most important data is not what you read and who you meet and what you buy, it’s what’s happening inside your body. We have these two big revolutions-the Computer Science revolution or the infotech revolution and the revolution in the biological sciences and they are still separate, but they are about to merge. They are merging around I would say, the biometric sensor. It’s the thing, it’s the gadget, it’s the technology that converts biological data into digital data that can be analyzed by computers and having the ability to really monitor people under the skin, this is the biggest game changer of all because this is the key for getting to know people better than they know themselves."

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

"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."
