Ronald Reagan | inflation is a tax and not by accident
in Ronald Reagan"When a business or an individual spends more than it makes, it goes bankrupt. When government does it, it sends you the bill. And when government does it for 40 years, the bill comes in two ways: higher taxes and inflation. Make no mistake about it, inflation is a tax and not by accident."
Ronald Reagan
John F. Hylan | The real menace of our republic is this invisible government
in John F. Hylan"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. Hylan

Senator Daniel K. Inouye
Woodrow Wilson | Some of the biggest men…are afraid of something
in Woodrow Wilson"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
Woodrow Wilson

Myron Coureval Fagan | Divide and Rule (Illuminati)
in Myron Coureval Fagan"The idea was that those who direct the overall conspiracy could use the differences in those two so-called ideologies [Marxism/fascism/socialism v. democracy/capitalism] to enable them [the Illuminati] to divide larger and larger portions of the human race into opposing camps so that they could be armed and then brainwashed into fighting and destroying each other."

Albert Pike | Fictions are necessary for the people
in Albert Pike"Fictions are necessary for the people, and the Truth becomes deadly to those who are not strong enough to contemplate it in all its brilliance. In fact, what can there be in common between the vile multitude and sublime wisdom? The Truth must be kept secret, and the masses need a teaching proportioned to their imperfect reason"
Albert Pike

Richard N. Gardner | The New World Order will be created

Bertrand Russell | system of deception
in Bertrand Russell"Educational systems have been developed not to impart genuine knowledge but to make the people docile to the will of the rulers. Without a sophisticated system of deception in schools, it would be impossible to maintain the appearance of democracy. It is not desired that ordinary citizens think for themselves. Because it is believed that people who think for themselves are difficult to handle. Only the elites are supposed to think. The rest are supposed to obey and follow their leaders, like a herd of mutton. This doctrine has corrupted all state education systems from the ground up, even in democracies."
Bertrand Russell
Nesta Webster | to attain the masters of the world
in Nesta Webster"The art of Illuminism lay in enlisting dupes as well as adepts and by encouraging dreams of honest visionaries or the schemes of fanatics. By flattering the vanity of ambitious egotists, by working on the unbalanced brains or by playing such passions as greed and power to make men of totally divergent aims serve the secret purpose of the sect. People with money were welcomed but kept oblivious of actual secrets. The purpose is to win power and riches, to undermine secular or religious government and to attain the masters of the world."
Nesta Webster
Hans Herbert von Arnim | legitimizing power despite its democratic shortcomings
in Hans Herbert von Arnim"The political class is supported by the many-thousand-voiced chorus of those who are committed to it by the already accomplished or still hoped-for awarding of offices and dignities. The proof of deficiencies is made difficult at the outset by the fact that there is an abundance of thought patterns (paradigms), formulas and theories that support the basic ideological thesis of the quasi-automatic functioning of the system. They seek to close the gap between norm and reality not by improving reality, but by interpreting the norm laxly or by obfuscating reality. Serving the cause of legitimizing power despite its democratic shortcomings: scientific paradigms, political formulas, scientific theories, prohibitions of thought and language (= "political correctness"), stagings of reality and the so-called political education (...) If one does not let oneself be blinded by the blinkered paradigms and political formulas saber and does not let the way to knowledge be shifted by glossing over theories, then one recognizes that the two basic principles of our form of government, public welfare and democracy, are realized by the existing system only to a very limited extent."
Hans Herbert von Arnim
