George Washington Quotes:

If men are to be precluded from offering their sentiments on a matter which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences that can invite the consideration of mankind, reason is of no use; the freedom of speech may be taken away, and dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace. Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action. "The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments." Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are American peoples liberty teeth and keystone under independence. From the hour the pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove to ensure peace, security, and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference; they deserve a place of honor with all that is good.

Thomas Jefferson:
A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have. Do not bite at the bait of pleasure till you know there is no hook beneath it. I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow

private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802) Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched. I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it. I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it. Never fear the want of business. A man who qualifies himself well for his calling, never fails of employment. Never spend your money before you have it. Never trouble another for what you can do for yourself. No instance exists of a person's writing two languages perfectly. That will always appear to be his native language which was most familiar to him in his youth. Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances. Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has

been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one. Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers. The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive. The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object. Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far. We confide in our strength, without boasting of it; we respect that of others, without fearing it. We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate. I have the consolation of having added nothing to my private fortune during my public service, and of retiring with hands clean as they are empty. Letter to Count Diodati, 1807 No government ought to be without censors & where the press is free, no one ever will. Letter to George Washington, September 9, 1792 Health is worth more than learning. Letter to his cousin John Garland Jefferson, June 11, 1790

If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it. Letter to James Lewis, Jr., May 9, 1798 An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens. Letter to John Melish, January 13, 1813 Advertisements... contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper. Letter to Nathaniel Macon, January 12, 1819

Abraham Lincoln

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cant fool all of the people all of the time. Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged

John F. Kennedy:
Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names. The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger - but recognize the opportunity.

John Adams:
Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to know that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their

rulers. - John Adams The government turns every contingency into an excuse for enhancing power in itself. Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to know that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their rulers. The government turns every contingency into an excuse for enhancing power in itself. "I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."

Benjamin Franklin quotes:

In those wretched countries where a man cannot call his tongue his own, he can scarce call anything his own. Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech. Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom; and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech. Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

It would be thought a hard government that should tax its people one tenth part. Make yourselves sheep and the wolves will eat you. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!

James Madison:
"No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."

Samuel Adams
"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." -

Theodore Roosevelt
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life. The one absolute certain way to bring this nation to ruin ... would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities. To educate a man in mind, and not in morals, is to educate a menace to society. There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.

When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer 'present' or 'not guilty.'

Ronald Reagan
"You can tell a communist by that he reads Lenin and Marx" And how to tell an anti-Communist? "He understands Lenin and Marx" No arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. Nations crumble from within when the citizenry asks of government those things which the citizenry might better provide for itself. ... [I] hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts. Our coins bear the words 'In God We Trust'. We take the oath of office asking His help in keeping that oath. And we proclaim that we are a nation under God when we pledge allegiance to the flag. But we can't mention His name in a public school or even sing religious hymns that are nondenominational. Christmas can be celebrated in the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas. Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the Constitution. I just wanted to speak to you about something from the Internal Revenue Code. It is the last sentence of section 509A of the code and it reads: 'For purposes of paragraph 3, an organization described in paragraph 2 shall be deemed to include an organization described in section 501C-4, 5, or 6, which would be described in paragraph 2 if it were an organization described in section 501C-3.' And that's just one sentence out of those fiftyseven feet of books.. Our federal tax system is, in short, utterly impossible, utterly unjust and completely counterproductive, [it] reeks with injustice and is fundamentally un-American... it has earned a rebellion and it's time we rebelled. There are some who've forgotten why we have a military. It's not to promote war; it's to be prepared for peace.

Thomas Paine
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."

Winston Churchill

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope. An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last. Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter. If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.

If you're going through hell, keep going. The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out.

George Orwell :
That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn quote

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad,when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" The Gulag Archipelago, A. Solzhenitsyn. Chapter 1 "Arrest", fn. 5. It is the artist who realizes that there is a supreme force above him and works gladly away as a small apprentice under God's heaven.

Patriotism means unqualified and unwavering love for the nation, which implies not uncritical eagerness to serve, not support for unjust claims, but frank assessment of its vices and sins, and penitence for them The revolution is an amalgam of former Party functionaries, quasi- democrats, KGB officers, and black-market wheelerdealers, who are standing in power now and have represented a dirty hybrid unseen in world history We shall be told: what can literature possibly do against the ruthless onslaught of open violence? But let us not forget that violence does not live alone and is not capable of living alone: it is necessarily interwoven with falsehood. Between them lies the most intimate, the deepest of natural bonds. Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence. Any man who has once proclaimed violence as his method is inevitably forced to take the lie as his principle.

Pol Anderson
"If the price I must pay for my freedom is to acknowledge that the government was granted the power to infringe on [it], then I am not free." "The plaintiff simply had no constitutional or federal right to have the police respond to their calls for assistance or to receive police protection against potential harm caused by private parties."(the New York Times, June 28,1993, p. 3.). Reference to a lawsuit by the family of a Hassidic Jew beaten to death in front of police in NYC.

Albert Einstein

The world is a very dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who do nothing about them."

The restriction of knowledge to an elite group destroys the spirit of the society and leads to its intellectual impoverishment. Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Edmund Burke
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

Alexander Tyler, 1750

"Nations and empires actually do have "life cycles." This has been studied by many historians throughout the years and they all have come to about the same conclusion: a lifetime of about two centuries. And they all seem to go through the same life cycle: "from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependence back again into bondage.

Lao-Tzu quotes:
A government can be compared to our lungs. Our lungs are best when we don't realize they are helping us breathe. It is when we are constantly aware of our lungs that we know they have come down with an illness.

Pol Anderson
"If the price I must pay for my freedom is to acknowledge that the government was granted the power to infringe on [it], then I am not free."

Aristotle:
"The only stable state is she one in which all men are equal before the law.

Pope John Paul II, EVANGELIUM VITAE, 1995

"Unfortunately, it happens that the need to render the aggressor incapable of causing harm sometimes involves taking his life. In this case, the fatal outcome is attributable to the aggressor whose actions brought it about, even though he may not be morally responsible because of a lack of the use of reason."

GEORGE ORWELL
The totalitarian states can do great things, but there is one thing they cannot do: they cannot give the factory-worker a rifle and tell him to take it home and keep it

in his bedroom. That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or laborers cottage, is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Next to God we are nothing. To God we are Everything. The more laws, the less justice. True nobility is exempt from fear. I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error. Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends. If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains; if you pursue evil with pleasure, the pleasure passes away and the evil remains.

Pericles
The secret of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom is courage.

Patricia Sampson

"Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward."

John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely

WARFARE
Sun Tzu
All warfare is based on deception. There is no place where espionage is not used. Offer the enemy bait to lure him. Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death. If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.

Napoleon Bonaparte
History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon. Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets. Bonaparte

Otto von Bismark :

"The great questions of the day will be decided not by speeches and majority votes... but by iron and blood." "War is the continuation of politics by other means. "

Carl von Clausewitz

"War is nothing but a duel on a larger scale." "Two basic principles . . . underlie all strategic planning. . . . --- The first principle is: act with the utmost concentration [trace the ultimate substance of enemy strength to the fewest possible sources; compress the attack on these sources to the fewest possible actions; and subordinate minor actions as much as possible].

--- The second principle is: act with the utmost speed [every unnecessary expenditure of time and every unnecessary detour is a waste of strength; take the shortest possible road to the goal]." --- The first task, then, in planning for a war is to identify the enemys center of gravity, and if possible trace it back to single one. --- The second task is to ensure that the forces to be used against that point are concentrated for a main offensive.

John Stuart Mill English economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873)

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Tacitus
A bad peace is even worse than war.

General Douglas MacArthur

History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster.

General George S. Patton:

No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. It is certain that the two World Wars in which I have participated would not have occurred had we been prepared. It is my belief that adequate preparation on our part would have prevented or

materially shortened all our other wars beginning with that of 1812. Yet, after each of our wars, there has always been a great hue and cry to the effect that there will be no more wars, that disarmament is the sure road to health, happiness, and peace; and that by removing the fire department, we will remove fires. These ideas spring from wishful thinking and from the erroneous belief that wars result from logical processes. There is no logic in wars. They are produced by madmen. No man can say when future madmen will reappear. I do not say that there will be no more wars; I devoutly hope that there will not, but I do say that the chances of avoiding future wars will be greatly enhanced if we are ready It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.

"It (the Siegfried Line) is a monument to human stupidity. When natural obstacles -oceans and mountains - can be so readily overcome, anything that man makes, man can overcome."

Mark Twain quotes:

The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin. The mania for giving the Government power to meddle with the private affairs of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble, through the rivaly of schools and creeds that are anxious to obtain official recognition, and there is great danger that our people will lose our independence of thought and action which is the cause of much of our greatness, and sink into the helplessness of the Frenchman or German who expects his government to feed him when hungry, clothe him when naked, to prescribe when his child may be born and when he may die, and, in time, to regulate every act of humanity from the cradle to the

tomb, including the manner in which he may seek future admission to paradise Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.

Will Rodgers:
There is good news from Washington today. The Congress is deadlocked and can't act. The difference between death and taxes is death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets. Income taxes have made more liars out of the American people than golf. I bet after seeing us, George Washington would sue us for calling him 'father'. Hurray! Congress is to adjourn! Only four more days of Congressional burglary on the Treasury! The minute you read something that you can't understand, you can almost be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer. Ammunition beats persuasion when you are looking for freedom. The short memories of the American voters is what keeps our politicians in office. If we have Senators and Congressmen there that can't protect themselves against the evil temptations of lobbyists, we don't need to change our lobbies, we need to change our representatives. One of these days they are going to remove so much of the 'hooey' and the thousands of things the schools have become clogged up with, and we will find that we can educate our broods

for about one-tenth of the price and learn 'em something that they might accidentally use after they escape.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca, circa 45 AD

Quemadmoeum gladuis neminem occidit, occidentis telum est. (A sword is never a killer, it is a tool in the killers hands.)

Caligula (Gaius Caesar) (12 AD - 41 AD)

Let them hate us, as long as they fear us.

Ayn Rand quotess:

There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

All "public interest' legislation (and any distribution of money taken by force from some men for the unearned benefit of others) comes down ultimately to the grant of an undefined undefinable, non-objective, arbitrary power to some government officials. The worst aspect of it is not that such a power can be used dishonestly, but that it cannot be used honestly. The wisest man in the world, with the purest integrity, cannot find a criterion for the just, equitable, rational application of an unjust, inequitable, irrational principle. Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals -- that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government -- that it is not a charter _for_ government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection _against_ the government.

When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed. The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles. The Argument from Intimidation is a confession of intellectual impotence. Any alleged right of one man which necessitates the violation of the right of another, is not, and cannot be a right. The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

CHINESE PROVERBS: A sly rabbit will have three openings to its den. Dig the well before you are thirsty. A rat who gnaws at a cat's tail invites destruction.

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.

To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge.

Mohandas Gandhi

A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes. An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind. Be the change that you want to see in the world. Fear has its use but cowardice has none. Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living ?

Leo Tolstoy

If you want to be happy, be.

The law condemns and punishes only actions within certain definite and narrow limits; it thereby justifies, in a way, all similar actions that lie outside those limits. The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth.

BIBLE QUOTES
Jesus himself taught, You will recognize them by their fruits (Matthew 7:16).

"I don't want to become immortal through my work. I want to become immortal through not dying."

Mother Teresa quotes:

Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign. ... You must weep that your own government, at present, seems blind to this truth.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes:

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal. The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it... Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate.... Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Dresden James

The ideal tyranny is that which is ignorantly self-administered by its victims. The most perfect slaves are, therefore, those which blissfully and unawaredly enslave themselves."

"A truth's initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed. It wasn't the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn't flat. When a wellpackaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic."

NATIVE AMERICAN WISDOM

Tecumseh quotes:
Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place. Show respect to all people, but grovel to none. When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.

Chief Joseph, Nez Perce

Treat all men alike. Give them the same laws. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. All men were made by the same Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers. The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. You might as well expect all rivers to run backward as that any man who was born a free man should be contented penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases.

George Catlin - 1868 "I love a people who have always

made me welcome to the best they had ... who are honest without laws, who have no jails and no poorhouse ... who never take the name of God in vain ... who worship God without a Bible, and I believe that God loves them also ... who are free from religious animosities...who have never raised a hand against me, or stolen my property, where there was no law to punish either ... who never fought a battle with white men except on their own ground ... and Oh! how I love a people who don't live for the love of money."

Luther Standing Bear-Sioux

"They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they never kept but one: they promised to take our land and they took it. It was not hard to see that the white people coveted every inch of land on which we lived. Greed. Humans wanted the last bit of ground which supported Indian feet. It was land - it has ever been land - for which the White man oppresses the Indian and to gain possession of which he commits any crime. Treaties that have been made are vain attempts to save a little of the fatherland, treaties holy to us by the smoke of the pipe - but nothing is holy to the white man. Little by little, with greed and cruelty unsurpassed by the animal, he has taken all. The loaf is gone and now the white man wants the crumbs."...

Chief Blackhawk
"How smooth must be the languages of the whites. When they can make the right look wrong and wrong look right".

DESPOTISM
Karl Marx
Democracy is the road to socialism. The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

"A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie. Only an armed people can be the real bulwark of popular liberty. The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them. The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation. The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into small states and all-national isolation, not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them. The surest way to destroy a nation is to debauch its currency.

Joseph Stalin

Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.

Roger Baldwin quotes 1884-1981, Founder of ACLU

I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself... I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.

John D. Rockefeller, Sr. quotes

In our dreams, people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands. The present education conventions of intellectual and character education fade from their minds, and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive folk. We shall not try to make these people, or any of their children, into philosophers, or men of science. We have not to raise up from them authors, educators, poets or men of letters. We shall not search for great artists, painters, musicians nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen -- of whom we have an ample supply. The task is simple. We will organize children and teach them in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way.

David Rockefeller quotess:

This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long - We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order. My congratulations on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the October Revolution

In 2002, Random House, in New York, published his Memoirs. Remember, this is not someone accusing him of something. This is David Rockefeller himself talking on page 405: For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal

working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as "internationalists" and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If thats the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.

"A revolution is not a bed of roses. A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past. "

"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. "

Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal. Gun registration is not enough.

Adolph Hitler:
The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed the subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!

"Give me the youth, and Germany will rule the World" Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death What luck for the rulers that men do not think.

Joseph Goebbels-Nazi Propaganda Minister

"The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly...it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over."

Reverend Martin Niemoeller, quotes about Nazi:

In Germany, the Nazis first came for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, but I didn't speak up because I was a protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak for me.
