And they who control the credit of a nation direct the policy of governments, and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people.~ Reginald McKenna Those who create and issue money and credit direct the policies of government and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people.~ Reginald McKenna We can't constantly explain to our voters that taxpayers have to be on the hook for certain risks, rather than those who make a lot of money taking those risks.~ Angela Merkel The worth of a state, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it.~ John Stuart Mill This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world. By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished.~ Sir Denison Miller As a rule, panics do not destroy capital; they merely reveal the extent to which it has been destroyed by its betrayal into hopelessly unproductive works.~ John Mills Governments lie; bankers lie; even auditors sometimes lie: gold tells the truth.~ Lord Rees Mogg Capital must protect itself in every way... Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principle men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd.~ J. P. Morgan We can hardly expect the nation-state to make itself superfluous, at least not overnight. Rather what we must aim for is really nothing more than caretakers of a bankrupt international machine which will have to be transformed slowly into a new one. The transition will not be dramatic, but a gradual one. People will still cling to national symbols.~ Henry Morgenthau, Jr. Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism as it is a merge of state and corporate power.~ Benito Mussolini State intervention in economic production arises only when private initiative is lacking or insufficient, or when the political interests of the State are involved. This intervention may take the form of control, assistance or direct management.~ Benito Mussolini The Fascist State lays claim to rule in the economic field no less than in others; it makes its action felt throughout the length and breadth of the country by means of its corporate, social, and educational institutions, and all the political, economic, and spiritual forces of the nation, organised in their respective associations, circulate within the State.~ Benito Mussolini Fascism is definitely and absolutely opposed to the doctrines of liberalism, both in the political and economic sphere.~ Benito Mussolini Yet if anyone cares to read over the now crumbling minutes giving an account of the meetings at which the Italian Fasci di Combattimento were founded, he will find not a doctrine but a series of pointers… It may be objected that this program implies a return to the guilds (corporazioni). No matter!... I therefore hope this assembly will accept the economic claims advanced by national syndicalism.~ Benito Mussolini Under the surface, the Rothschilds long had a powerful influence in dictating American financial laws. The law records show that they were powers in the old Bank of the United States [abolished by Andrew Jackson].~ Gustavus Myers Is there a number or mark planned for the hand or forehead in a new cashless society? YES, and I have seen the machines that are now ready to put it into operation.~ Ralph Nader Gold is still the ultimate store of wealth. It's the world's only true money. And there isn't much of it to go around. All of it ever mined would fit into a small building - a 56 foot cube. The annual world production would fit into a 14 foot cube, roughly the size of an ordinary living room. If each Chinese citizen were to buy just one ounce, it would take up the annual supply for the next 200 years.~ Mark Nestmann Ask the first man you meet what he means by defending freedom, and he'll tell you privately he means defending the standard of living.~ Reverend Martin Niemoeller There are…certain freedoms that are like circuses. Their very existence, so long as they are individual and enjoyed chiefly individually as by spectators, diverts men’s mind from the loss of other, more fundamental, social and economic and political rights.~ Robert Nisbet Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
