Quotes of the Week

From the Light:
“That yearning of humanity to feel connected is so strong, yet the political divisions imposed on them by controlling tribal leaders tells them otherwise. Fight, attack, destroy anything foreign to ourselves and our way of life, and maintain that state of continual war. All false stimuli.”
Zen Gardner

“The reason that the U.S. is concerned over Iran and cruising for an all-out fight is that the empire demands weakness among all those around it that might conceivably challenge its dominance. It demands compliant satellites wherever it can create them or force them into compliance. Is this the historic role of Americans? Is this what America is about? Is it about political domination of the world? Is it about empire? Is it about suppressing progress and liberty in the aim of keeping other nations weak? Is it about putting into practice a psychopathology of power?”
Michael S. Rozeff

“I just don't feel sorry for aggressors who reap the fruits of their actions. Even when the person they are attacking is worse than they are. In fact, I find it very humorous when bad guys clash, as long as no innocent person is hurt in the crossfire.
Let them all arm themselves however they want, and I'll seek shelter until they have all ‘honored’ themselves to death. Good riddance to these burdens on civilization.”
Kent McManigal

“If the injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government, let it go, let it go; perchance it will wear smooth — certainly the machine will wear out. If the injustice has a spring, or a pulley, or a rope, or a crank, exclusively for itself, then perhaps you may consider whether the remedy will not be worse than the evil; but if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn.”
Henry David Thoreau

“True leaders set a positive example for others to follow by partaking in voluntary interactions with their peers and showing the community how to live more meaningful and peaceful lives. These people may be artists, philosophers, inventors, builders, entrepreneurs or skilled workers that are involved in win-win scenarios with their fellow human beings. In other words, people who create some sort of value for the community, even if that value is just a good imagination or personality. With that being the case, if someone spends their time barking out orders, committing acts of violence and meddling in the lives of their peers, does it make any sense at all for us to call that person a ‘leader‘?”
J. G. Vibes

“Government says it is making us safe. Meanwhile, the government’s wars kill tens of thousands and put Americans in harm’s way, and the domestic police state has never been so violent Government says that it is forcing us not to harm ourselves, but government threatens us with harm constantly with its guns, fines, courts and 10 million micro-coercions, not to mention its relentless looting of our bank accounts and purchasing power Government says it is making us polite and civil, but it unleashes an army of bureaucrats who are the very soul of rudeness, hence coarsening society in so many ways.”
Jeffrey Tucker

“In my view, that which is extreme is not that which violates the boundaries of ‘normal’ society, but which violates the boundaries of inherent truth, and conscience. In an honest society, an extremist is someone who denies the universal foundations of existence, and tries to play demigod in a fantasy world of moral relativism and rationalized criminality. A disjointed freak of nature that seeks to impose his twisted will upon others. Unfortunately, the honest definition of extremism is not the most popular amongst the frothing elitists that reside over the functions of our political structure today."
Brandon Smith

“Liberty is an easy word to say, but it is a hard word to live up to. Freedom has little to do with financial gain or personal pleasure. Accompanying Freedom is her constant and unattractive companion, Responsibility. Neither is she an only child. Patriotism and Morality are her sisters. They are inseparable: destroy one and all will die.”
Chuck Baldwin

“Despite all the mystification of ‘national security’ and ‘national interest,’ the interests served by the state’s military violence are every bit as particular as those served by any other violent actions carried out by other groups of individuals. The state is nothing but an association for armed violence on the part of those who make money at the expense of other people.
In this Orwellian conceptual world, the question of whether the state has the right to use violence doesn’t bear looking into. But in the real world, it does. The state is by far the greatest concentration of organized violence, and it almost always employs such violence for evil purposes — whether at Tahrir Square, Hama, or Oakland.”
Kevin Carson

“The government not only lies about war, it routinely lies about its lies about war.”
Charles Goyette

"One man with courage is a majority."

From the Darkness:

"The Obama administration has been quite clear in our opposition to decriminalization or legalization of illicit drugs."

Dan Restrepo, the top Latin America official of the Obama Regime

“I have said that when it comes to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, I will take no options off the table, and I mean what I say. That includes all elements of American power: a political effort aimed at isolating Iran, a diplomatic effort to sustain our coalition and ensure that the Iranian program is monitored, an economic effort that imposes crippling sanctions and, yes, a military effort to be prepared for any contingency.”
B. Obama

"The President must state unequivocally that under no circumstances will [Syrian President] Assad be allowed to finish what he has started, that there is no future in which Assad and his lieutenants will remain in control of Syria, and that the United States is prepared to use the full weight of our airpower to make it so."
Sen. John McCain, looking for more death to get off on [I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- The North Vietnamese would have the saved the world a lot of future grief if they had rightfully carved up McCain in a fit of revenge and thrown his remains in a rice paddy.]

“The ultimate goal of airstrikes should be to establish and defend safe havens in Syria, especially in the north, in which opposition forces can organize and plan their political and military activities against Assad. These safe havens could serve as platforms for the delivery of humanitarian and military assistance – including weapons and ammunition, body armor and other personal protective equipment, tactical intelligence, secure communications equipment, food and water, and medical supplies. These safe havens could also help the Free Syrian Army and other armed groups in Syria to train and organize themselves into more cohesive and effective military forces, likely with the assistance of foreign partners."
John McCain, outlining the coming US colonization of Syria

“We're a very pro-military state up here [in Alaska]. We recognize what it is that our men and women in uniform sacrifice for all of us to keep us secure. And at this point, we're watching Obama with his naive apologies to savages in Afghanistan who turn around and kill our soldiers.”
Sarah Palin, a whining bigot from the wilderness

“It’s clear that United States citizenship alone does not make such individuals immune from being targeted. Some have argued that the president is required to get permission from a federal court before taking action against a United States citizen who is a senior operational leader of Al Qaeda or associated forces. This is simply not accurate. Due process and judicial process are not one and the same, particularly when it comes to national security. The Constitution guarantees due process, it does not guarantee judicial process.”
Eric Holder, US Attorney General

"Yes, the situation with the Koran burning concerns me. I think that it is an indication of the challenges in that environment, and it's an indication that now is the time for us to transition.
We are not interested in staying there any longer than is necessary to assure that Al Qaeda is not operating there, and that there is sufficient stability that it doesn't end up being a free-for-all after ISAF [NATO's International Security Assistance Force] has left.
There are going to be bumps along the road. just as there were in Iraq."
B. Obama [Those “bumps” happen to be human lives being destroyed every time you come up with a new “transition.”]

“If Iran doesn’t get rid of nuclear facilities, we will tear them down ourselves.”
Rick Santorum, candidate for US Dictator [Let's see you lead the way, Ricky.]

“I will provide all available intelligence to the Israeli government, ensure that they have the equipment necessary, and reassure them, that if an Israeli prime minister decides that he has to avoid the threat of a second Holocaust through pre-emptive measures, that I would require no advance notice.”
Newt Gingrich, outlining his actions as future US Murderer-in-Chief

“Amazingly, some people refuse to acknowledge that Iran’s goal is to develop nuclear weapons. You see, Iran claims that it’s enriching uranium to develop medical research. Yeah, right.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then what is it? That’s right, it’s a duck. But this duck is a nuclear duck and it’s time the world started calling a duck a duck.
A nuclear-armed Iran would dramatically increase terrorism by giving terrorists a nuclear umbrella. That means that Iran’s terror proxies like Hezbollah, Hamas will be emboldened to attack America, Israel, and others because they will be backed by a power with atomic weapons.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, spewing his Zionist nonsense

“The reduction in the number of pregnancies compensates for the cost of contraception.”
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, proclaiming that the new requirement that all health insurance plans cover sterilizations and contraceptives will be good for employers and health insurance companies because it will mean less births.

“Since the national attention is on birth control, here's my idea: If we want to fight poverty, reduce violent crime and bring down our embarrassing drop-out rate, we should swap contraceptives for fluoride in Michigan's drinking water."
Nolan Finley, The Detroit News

“Again, our goal would be to seek international permission and we would come to the Congress and inform you and determine how best to approach this. Whether or not we would want to get permission from the Congress, I think those are issues we would have to discuss as we decide what to do here.”
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, when asked whether the Obama regime can act without Congress to initiate a no-fly zone in Syria, without Congressional approval

Thoughts About Faith and Reason

Belief in Christianity certainly requires faith- but no more so than believing that an institution (government) consisting of corruptible men, given a monopoly of power (yet “regulated” by a Piece of Paper), can protect the lives and liberties of individuals. The problem with Christians is not their religious faith, it is their loyalty to church institutions- subscribing to church dogma and the perfunctory bowing to, and believing, the rants of salvation gatekeepers (preachers). This is similar to the problem statists have with believing state propaganda and accepting the spoken and written gibberish of politicians. In this control system, individual thought and action must yield to collectivist, obedient response to central planning and control by self-professed elites.

You, as an individual, born with the tool of reason, are blessed with an advantage that every other member of the animal kingdom envies. By all means, use that tool and rise above the nonsense that permeates the mainstream culture and discussion. Release your soul from the pressure to conform. Free your mind from the powers that aim to enslave it.

School Honored for Collecting Garbage

A school in Mesquite, Texas has been honored for it’s students success at collecting huge amounts of supposed “recyclable” materials, i.e., garbage.

The students at Sam Rutherford Elementary, “averaged 38 pounds of material per day per student, more than seven times the national average. This was very close to the best of ANY school in the contest (the winning school reached a stunning 42 lbs). Regardless, the 37 pounds reached by Rutherford meant they won 'best of state.' They are officially now the best recycling school in Texas.”

Are you also “stunned” or impressed? The powers-that-be in Mesquite certainly are, as they have a grand celebration planned to honor the school for taking the “state title.” No, the school and its “educators” will not be honored for enlightening their students about the wonders of the world they live in, the surrounding, infinite universe, and the mysteries to be solved and marvels to be experienced. No, they will not be recognized for motivating students to think for themselves and search within for the unique, inherent, value and talent characteristic of every living individual. No, they will not be complimented for encouraging students to explore the fascinating, aforementioned mysteries of this boundless universe. No, these educators will not be toasted for motivating each child’s creativity to offer solutions to such mysteries.

Instead, the school will be honored because they were able to motivate and encourage their students to be best at……collecting garbage.

These students will never hear from their controllers about the economic inefficiency of most of this recycling effort. They will only be indoctrinated with the collectivist meme that these materials MUST be collected and reused to prevent harm to the planet. This type of activity also teaches obedience to authorities that “know best” and to mindlessly follow their direction- goals, of course, characteristic of any state controlled “education.” Collectivist thought, obedience, and activity supersede any individual initiative.

As Glenn Horowitz, in his article, Dumberer and Dumberest writes:

“If you're not familiar with it, the Prussian system was a teaching methodology designed to stamp out good little worker bees assembly-line fashion, trained to be complacent with their station in life and compliant with every demand of the State. An elite of those better educated but still proven unquestioningly loyal to the State were promoted to lead the proletariat, rewarded with elevated status and material success commensurate with their skills and the zeal they demonstrate in supporting the system. It specifically avoided developing creativity and independent thought, reasoning these were skills the worker classes didn't need in their roles as mass produced labor.”

If the state can successfully motivate and convince students that collecting trash is a sensible and productive use of their time, it should make the state’s future challenge much easier- that dying in the empire’s wars (or at least giving up their liberties) is certainly worth the cost and sacrifice of not only their time, but their very lives.

And if they choose not to follow such a direction, this newfound skill of collecting trash will serve them well in that dark, dystopian future when they’ll be dumpster diving, trying to survive.

Quotes of the Week

From the Light:
“Virtually every adult person contravenes the ubiquitous regulations of democratic government at many times in their life. And regardless of their actions, everyone living under unlimited democracy is treated as the property of the government, with rights that are disposable at the whims of the mob. Under democracy, everyone is subject to the rule of any group that can acquire large numbers and become adept at capturing political power.”
Ben O’Neill

“So called empirical knowledge supposedly based on scientific or academic fact is so much hooey. You can’t trust any of it. Oh, there’s truths in there, that’s not the point. It’s the abuse of truth that so permeates the supposed facts projected by the Powers That Be that’s the problem.”
Zen Gardner

“Class after class of American youth have been taught that Americans may kill other peoples to achieve American political aims and that this is good, for other peoples are children or savages or inept or ignorant or inferior, while the American ways are superior. Americans have in the past imagined themselves the reluctant killers and victors, without the aims of conquest of past civilizations. They have imagined themselves as the kind, generous, and beneficent empire while not counting those whom they have murdered. For America is good. It has a big heart. It may make mistakes, but its intent is noble. It has a good heart. These have been the myths cultivated in the breeding grounds of those who man the machinery of empire.”
Michael S. Rozeff

“Alas, surprising numbers of Constitutionalists who cry ‘Foul!’ at imperialism, the PATRIOT Act, the NDAA of 2012 and other violations actually urge the Feds to eviscerate the highest law of the land when it comes to immigration. Nothing in the Constitution empowers the central government to patrol the country’s borders – and let those who dispute that cite the article and clause supporting their position.
We who love liberty never echo the eugenicists and justify a man’s exercise of his freedom based on how valuable he is to society; gracious, were that our criteria, we’d immediately deport all politicians and bureaucrats! Liberty is the highest end, in and of itself; we need not earn it, regardless of where we were born, what language we speak, or what culture we embrace: the simple fact of our humanity entitles every one of us to it.”
Becky Akers

“The Christian should use peaceful means to persuade others to live as he does. The non-Christian should use peaceful means to persuade others to live as he does. However, the democratic State precludes such peaceful means. Instead of peacefully persuading others to live as he wishes while accepting the fact that many will not live as he wishes, the statist Christian aims to persuade enough people to pass a law which will compel everyone to live as the Christian wishes. And it never occurs to the statist Christian that forcing people against their will to live a Christian life is itself unChristian.”
Brutus

“Our continued participation in this circus performance we call politics continues to feed the illusion of its legitimacy. By withdrawing our consent and participation in politics we may be freeing up considerable resources to apply toward the creation of a better world, while simultaneously helping to snuff out this energetic vampire that feeds heartily on our collective good will and positive energy.”
Dylan Charles

“The main difference between the feudal system of five hundred years ago and the feudal system that is developing in the First World today is that the packaging is more sophisticated. Instead of having identifiable kings whom we may all hate, we have the distraction of two political teams that we may "choose" between. While we praise the good guys (our preferred political party) and hope that they will vanquish the bad guys (the opposing political party), they are in fact one and the same, and they both work for the kings.”
Jeff Thomas

“Networks and other free associations run circles around authoritarian hierarchies. They’re more agile and react to situations more quickly. Because they are not divided among themselves by mutually exclusive interests, because they can trust each other, their local nodes and individual members are free to react to emergent situations on their own initiative and take up promising innovations from other nodes without having to follow endless bureaucratic rules and standard operating procedures in order to get permission to act.”
Kevin Carson

“The mortal enemies of the superclass are those people who have a seven-word offer: ‘I can sell it to you cheaper.’”
Gary North

“Countries whose politicians have been able to squander ever larger amounts of a nation's resources have not only failed to make the world more fair, the concentration of more resources and power in these politicians' hands has led to results that were often counterproductive at best, and bloodily catastrophic at worst.”
Thomas Sowell

“Human beings have not, can not, and never will live in harmony with nature. Our prosperity and health depend on technology driven by energy. We exercise our intelligence to command nature, and were admonished by Francis Bacon to exercise our dominion with ‘sound reason and true religion.’ When we are told that our primary energy source, oil, is ‘making us sick,’ or that we are ‘addicted’ to oil, these are only the latest examples of otherwise rational persons descending into gibberish after swooning to the lure of the Noble Savage. This ignorant exultation of the primitive can only lead us back to the Stone Age.”
David Deming

From the Darkness:

“If and when American power declines, the institutions and norms that American power has supported will decline, too. Or more likely, if history is a guide, they may collapse altogether as we make a transition to another kind of world order, or to disorder. We may discover then that the U.S. was essential to keeping the present world order together and that the alternative to American power was not peace and harmony but chaos and catastrophe – which is what the world looked like right before the American order came into being.”

Robert Kagan, justifying American genocide and imperialism

"Our brave servicemembers have done all that we could have asked them for and more in Afghanistan.”
Elizabeth Warren, candidate for Sena-Gangster from Massachusetts [That's the problem.]

“I did always feel in my heart that God had big plans for Rick. Eventually it was there, tugging at my heart. When Obamacare passed, that was it. That put the fire in my belly.”
Karen Santorum, wife of the Dictator wannabe

“I don’t believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute. The idea that the church can have no influence or no involvement in the operation of the state is absolutely antithetical to the objectives and vision of our country.”
Rick Santorum historical ignoramus and candidate for US Dictator

"Too many states are making cuts that I think are too big. Budgets are by choice, so today I'm calling on all of you: invest more in education, invest more in our children." B. Obama [Government budgets are by “choice.” I choose zero. How soon will that take effect?]
“We're not going to let the events of the past week [in Afghanistan], which are regrettable and unfortunate and tragic, influence the long-horizon view that we're taking.”
Pentagon press secretary George Little, staying the course in the wake of violence over the burning of Qurans by the US mililtary [Typical state response- Why should still more failure change our course of action?]

“Abortion is largely accepted even for reasons that do not have anything to do with the fetus' health. By showing that (1) both fetuses and newborns do not have the same moral status as actual persons, (2) the fact that both are potential persons is morally irrelevant and (3) adoption is not always in the best interest of actual people, the authors argue that what we call ‘after-birth abortion’ (killing a newborn) should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.”
The abstract from a paper entitled, “After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?” by Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva

“People [banks] won’t settle with us if they have to admit wrongdoing because it opens them to liability in civil damages lawsuits.”
Mary Shapiro, SEC Chairwoman [Duh.]

"Based on definitions of war criminal and crimes against humanity, there would be an argument to be [Assad of Syria] made that he would fit into that category."
Queen Hillary

"I would not agree with the premise that the drug war is a failure. It is a continuing effort to keep our peoples from becoming addicted to dangerous drugs."
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano [Stay the course to still more failure!]

"Suffocating sanctions could lead to a grave economic situation in Iran and to a shortage of food. This would force the regime to consider whether the nuclear adventure is worthwhile, while the Persian people have nothing to eat and may rise up as was the case in Syria, Tunisia and other Arab states The Western world led by the United States must implement stifling sanctions at this time already, rather than wait or hesitate. In order to suffocate Iran economically and diplomatically and lead the regime there to a hopeless situation, this must be done now, without delay."
From an unnamed source in the Israeli government [If you can't kill them all with bombs, you can always starve them to death.]

“It is past time to acknowledge the immense injustice toward other species represented by climate change and other human assaults on the biosphere and to reform our environmental ethics and behavior accordingly.
Ending human population growth is almost certainly a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for preventing catastrophic global climate change. Indeed, significantly reducing current human numbers (emphasis added) may be necessary in order to do so.”
Philip Cafaro, Colorado state university professor, calling for still more human genocide

A ‘Symbol Minded’ Veteran

In one of his routines, legendary comic George Carlin spoke about the silliness of revered symbols  (at 4:55 on the video) and referred to those who exhibited such behavior as “symbol-minded people.” He explained how people wasted time and effort concerning themselves with idiotic symbols- whether it be their use, misuse, or abuse.

A real life example of such a person can be found in Rockwall, TX where at least one citizen/slave is upset that a flagpole flying the US flag at the county courthouse is now five feet shorter than when it was installed.

"It makes my blood boil," says retired US Army Lt. Col. Tom Galli. "It's as if someone came out here with a can of spray paint and sprayed it all over the wall." Galli claims that shortening the pole desecrates “the flag he defended and others died for.” Apparently, civilization has still not advanced to the point that people find it ridiculous that anyone would defend, let alone martyr themselves, to “defend” a piece of cloth. Even defending what this flag represents (US imperialism) is a hard argument to sell among rational folk.

Mr. Galli represents well the skewed thought pattern and childish priorities of the “symbol-minded.” His concern revolves around a pole flying a colored rag that is now five feet shorter (horrors!) yet seems not to notice that the sky where this rag is flying (check the news image) is full of poisonous chem-trails from state sponsored aerosol spraying, spreading poisonous aluminum oxide, strontium, barium and even salts, polluting our soils, water and bodies- and all of it, of course, discharged by the nation state that is represented by the flag for which he has such a religious affection for!

That fact is not even on the radar for such a pitiful, brainwashed loyalist. Realistically, trying to explain such an ironic truth to the likes of Mr Galli would be wasting breath. Pointing out the foolishness of his position, considering these facts, would be met with the empty stare characteristic of one who has suffered a lifetime of mind destroying indoctrination. He has been taught to value meaningless, trite, nonsense while blissfully ignoring realities that threaten his very existence. I’m afraid pity towards Mr. Galli would be the only reasonable action- and concern for the future when remembering that he represents people considered mainstream, normal, “patriotic,” and a reputable member of the voting force which empowers the state’s rulers.

Quotes of the Week

From the Light:
“The State is not society, but the Collectivist looks to the State as the source of social justice. Social justice can only be found in one place, and that place is within society. The State does not know what justice is, because it is founded in injustice; it is founded in immorality and deceit. Putting power into the hands of a few, and excluding them from the morality pool will never deliver justice; it has never delivered justice. It is irrational to expect moral ends from immoral means. This is the reason for the continuous failure of the State, and it will continue until this truth is realized. Sadly, the Collectivists that believe this strongly in the State will not stop until they are shot in the head with bullets they paid for by guns that they advocated for.”
Chris Dates

“Seriously perverted and otherwise motivated elements feel they need to control and steer and harvest the energies of everyone else. Natural law and order are anathema to them. They’ve decided for some insane, occult reason, that humanity is diseased with its own ‘naturalness’ and needs to be corralled, cleansed, modified and even ‘maintained’ at certain population levels. Their self-styled, cold so-called intellectual prowess dictates a world with the ‘illuminated’ man taking the earth-bound masses into a utopia designed by these self-appointed elites, for these same elites, and with them in absolute power over a populace enthralled with its very enslavement.”
Zen Gardner

“Society is not waiting for the politicians. When you listen to what they say, when you watch what the bureaucrats do, when you look at what the agencies are regulating, you suddenly realize that the political monstrosities that burden the world are hopelessly out of touch with the kind of progress that people are experiencing in their daily lives now.”
Jeffrey Tucker

“Perhaps future historians will conclude that democracy once served the interests of money in order to break free of the power of kings, aristocracy, and government predations, but as money established control over governments, democracy became a liability. Historians will speak of the transition from the divine right of kings to the divine right of money.”
Paul Craig Roberts

“Democracy, which I consider to be the first step or beginning of socialism, thrives on propaganda, and uses this propaganda to indoctrinate the people. Once this indoctrination is complete, totalitarianism is the end result, and then propaganda is replaced by the razor’s edge of the state’s sword. This is our lot today.”
Gary D. Barnett

“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
Albert Einstein

“The defining characteristic of The United States (singular, post 1865) both externally and internally, is that it never leaves anyone be. It is not enough to leave others alone, to live one’s life in peace. Individually or internationally. One must conform, submit – and obey.
To the Master Culture.”
Eric Peters

“Beneath the governmental machinery, in the shadow of political institutions, out of the sight of statesmen and priests, society is producing its own organism, slowly and silently; and constructing a new order, the expression of its vitality and autonomy, and the denial of the old politics, as well as of the old religion.”
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

“By allowing some the ability to commit violence without consequence for the sake of ‘solving problems,’ we are simply setting a standard that problems actually can be solved with violence. On the other hand, if we hold everyone to the same standard of non-violence and handle disputes on a case by case basis, we will actually be encouraging peaceful interactions. Without the nebulous justifications of the state to fall back on, everyone would be forced to rely on their own conscience to make decisions and they would actually be held personally responsible for their actions.”
J. G. Vibes

“Economics is very different in the hands of the Austrian tradition. It is something with powerful explanatory power that deals with the rise and fall of whole civilizations. It deals with gigantic issues and the smallest possible personal issues. It provides a window for looking at the world with intelligence and realism. And though science itself is value free, its practitioners never are. They bring the values of peace, prosperity, and freedom to the mix, and provide us with a beautiful vision of life itself.”
Lew Rockwell

“When people talk about the importance of democracy, it is never democracy as it has ever actually functioned, with the politicians that have actually been elected, and the policies that have actually been implemented. It is always democracy as people imagine it will operate once they succeed in electing ‘the right people’ – by which they mean, people who agree almost completely with their own views, and who are consistent and incorruptible in their implementation of the resulting policies. This is what allows an intelligent group of people to espouse mob rule as a desirable principle, even as they simultaneously commit acts that brand them as criminals worthy of imprisonment under the very social system they maintain.”
Ben O’Neill

“In making all of its wars, military and social, the American leadership regards people as mere names and numbers, mere parts of a social puzzle that can be moved around and manipulated at their will. This is a wrong idea in practice and it is a wrong idea morally. It is at root immoral, since it is anti-person and anti-humanity. America’s leaders do not see their wars in that way.”
Michael S. Rozeff

From the Darkness:

“I believe there are ways to get weapons to the [Syrian] opposition without direct United States involvement. The Iranians and the Russians are providing Bashar Assad with weapons. People that are being massacred deserve to have the ability to defend themselves.”

So I am not only not opposed, but I am in favor of weapons being obtained by the opposition.”
John McCain, looking to kill again in your name

“In a country increasingly separated by cultural chasms—Christian conservatives vs. secular humanists; Tea Partiers vs. Occupiers—should we really encourage children to trust only their parents or those hand-selected by them, and to mistrust civic life and public institutions?”
Dana Goldstein, arguing against home schooling. [Answer: Yes! Yes! Yes!]

"Low-income kids earn higher test scores when they attend school alongside middle-class kids, while the test scores of privileged children are impervious to the influence of less-privileged peers. So when college-educated parents pull their kids out of public schools, whether for private school or homeschooling, they make it harder for less-advantaged children to thrive."
Dana Goldstein, encouraging you to keep you kids in government “schools” for the good of the collective

"They're watering down the term of what a true hero is these days. I thought it was offensive to every family's fallen solider out there, and it cheapens the meaning of lowering the flag."
John Burri, father of a U.S. military murderer, objecting to New Jersey's flying the state flag at half-mast in honor of the late Whitney Houston [Mr. Burri, I don’t think the “meaning” of your rag can be cheapened any more after decades of suffering state thugs like your son.]

"We stand today at the symbolic crossroads of our nation's history, and all around us are monuments to those who have sustained us over the years in word or deed, the towering presence of the great emancipator [Lincoln] who secured our union at the moment of its most perilous time."
Sarah Palin, celebrating Lincoln’s terrorism in a “President’s Day” message

“Ronald Reagan was courageous enough to go out and speak out about the forces of evil, not just around the world but, by the way, in this country. … Why? Because America stands for something. We stand for goodness, we stand for freedom, we stand for human rights, we stand for the dignity of every human person. That is who we are.”
Rick Santorum, candidate for US Dictator [Tell that to the millions around the world that you’ve murdered and to your own people who you have abused and murdered.]

“The Police Department goes where there are allegations, and they look to see whether those allegations are true. That’s what you would expect them to do. That’s what you would want them to.”
New York City mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, defendeding the New York Police Department’s monitoring of the Web sites of Muslim student groups at more than a dozen universities across the Northeast, framing the effort as one way to guard against the threat of terrorism.

"There will be increasingly capable opposition forces. They will from somewhere, somehow, find the means to defend themselves as well as begin offensive measures."

"The pressure will build on countries like Russia and China because world opinion is not going to stand idly by. Arab opinion is not going to be satisfied watching two nations, one for commercial reasons one for commercial and ideological reasons, bolstering a [Syrian] regime that is defying every rule of modern international norms."

How One Day Can Change a Life

I highly recommend viewing these two InfoWars videos interviewing Kurt Haskell. Kurt and his wife were on the plane during the infamous “Underwear Bomber” incident on Christmas Day, 2009. Thanks to Kurt, we now know the “terrorist” was placed on the plane by the US Government. If you’re not already familiar with the details, this video will be beneficial- though I do also recommend you view all Alex Jones’ interviews with Kurt and read material written by him about his experience.

What most impressed me about this particular interview is how just one experience on one day of Kurt’s life has totally radicalized his view of government and awakened him to the uncomfortable reality that his government is truly a band of renegade criminals. Many of us come to this realization gradually (like yours truly) but some have an overnight epiphany that awakens them suddenly from their open-eyed slumber. Such is the case with Kurt.

Whatever your case, I implore you to help others awaken, as Kurt had done so effectively. Whatever your talent, use it to spread the message of liberty to others. Explain how liberty is their birthright as sovereign, free born individuals and not to tolerate any threats against that birthright by depraved, greedy, gangster sociopaths.
