Citizens know they are being watched and overheard. Their mail is being examined. Their homes can be invaded.~ Vance Packard The trade of governing has always been monopolized by the most ignorant and the most rascally individuals of mankind.~ Thomas Paine Television, I would say, isn't an advertising medium. It's a selling medium.~ William S. Paley The enormous gap between what U.S. leaders do in the world and what Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda accomplishments of the dominant political mythology.~ Michael Parenti We have what is known as the Federal Reserve Bank System. That system is not owned by the Government. Many people think that it is because it says “Federal Reserve.” It belongs to private banks, private corporations. So we have farmed out to the Federal Reserve Banking System that which is owned exclusively, wholly, one hundred percent to the private banks—we have farmed out to them the privilege of issuing the Government’s money!~ Wright Patman The dollar represents a one dollar debt to the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Banks create money out of thin air to buy Government Bonds from the U.S. Treasury...and has created out of nothing a ... debt which the American people are obliged to pay with interest.~ Wright Patman [W]e have to realize that the real problem is that the American people have been too submissive. We have been too submissive. It has been going on for a long time. ... [T]he bill that I have introduced ... is very simple. It is one paragraph long. It removes the immunity from anybody in the Federal government that does anything that you or I can't do. If you can't grope another person and if you can't X-ray people and endanger them with possible X-rays, [and] you can't take nude photographs of individuals, why do we allow the government to do it? We would go to jail. He would be immediately arrested, if an individual citizen went up and did these things, and yet we just sit there and calmly say, 'oh, they are making us safe.' And besides, the argument from the executive branch is that when you buy a ticket, you have sacrificed your rights and it is the duty of the government to make us safe. That isn't the case. You never have to sacrifice your rights. The duty of the government is to protect our rights, not to use them and do what they have been doing to us.~ Dr. Ron Paul They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil.~ Paul the Apostle The American people are bound to the people of the Soviet Union in the great alliance of the United Nations. We are determined that nothing shall stop us from sharing with you all that we have.~ Howard C. Peterson One should not associate with controversy; one should always reach for the highest ratings; one should never forget that there is safety in numbers; one should always remember that comedy, adventure, and escapism provide the best atmosphere for selling.~ Peter G. Peterson No free people can lose their liberties while they are jealous of liberty. But the liberties of the freest people are in danger when they set up symbols of liberty as fetishes, worshipping the symbol instead of the principle it represents.~ Wendell Phillips Every child in America who enters school at the age of five is mentally ill, because he comes to school with an allegiance toward our elected officials, toward our founding fathers, toward our institutions, toward the preservation of this form of government that we have. Patriotism, nationalism, and sovereignty, all that proves that children are sick because a truly well individual is one who has rejected all of those things, and is truly the international child of the future.~ Dr. Chester Pierce The dangers of a concentration of all power in the general government of a confederacy so vast as ours are too obvious to be disregarded.~ Franklin Pierce Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.~ William Pitt Unlimited Power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it.~ William Pitt, Sr. Democracy leads to anarchy, which is mob rule.~ Plato The people have always some champion whom they set over them and nurse into greatness… This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs, when he first appears he is a protector.~ Plato Great popular support and enthusiasm for the United Nations policies should be built up, well organized and fully articulate.

The opposition must be rendered so impotent that it will be unable to gather any significant support in the Senate against the United Nations Charter and the treaties which will follow.~ Political Affairs Throughout the history of the United States, war has been the primary impetus behind the growth and development of the central state. It has been the lever by which presidents and other national officials have bolstered the power of the state in the face of tenacious popular resistance.~ Bruce D. Porter One of the fondest expressions around is that we can't be the world's policeman. But guess who gets called when somebody needs a cop.~ General Colin Powell Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
