Quotes of the Week

Enlightened insights taken from the past week’s reading:

"If all we have is a choice between total-government from the right or total-government from the left, I say that is no choice. As Washington continues to grab up powers for itself, powers over all of us, at some point we Texans need to recognize that this isn’t what we signed up for, an this further illustrates of the urgent necessity for Texas independence. For freedom’s sake, it’s time we wish the U.S. 'Best of luck' with their experiment in authoritarianism, say 'Good-bye' to this plague of imperial presidents, and go our own way. In fact, it’s past time. Texit."
Ryan Thorson

"Revolutions, especially those proffered up by the pop-cult likes of AntiFa, Russell Brand, Bernie Sanders and Katy Perry, are, however well-intentioned they may (or may not) be, in the end, when the dust settles, different fig leaves on the same old saggy baggie of family jewels."
Chris Campbell

"Religious convictions, regardless of what myths they may be founded upon, become blinders to logic and reason. Modern religions and cults with all their pomp, regalia and ceremony have the identical purpose of the old witch doctors. That is the control of the mind of man and his enslavement for the benefit of the leaders of organized religion and the political establishment. Religion is the perfect crime. It extracts the spiritual allegiance and substance of its adherents.
Religious tradition includes all organized religion, all religious subdivisions under Christian pretenses and all cults and secret orders. Though their outer appearances appear different and diverse and even antagonistic, they all radiate from the same inspiration. All lead men and women into spiritual deception and slavery."
Bob Livingston

"I must say that communism is one of the few creeds that violate the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) by its very existence and instantiation under any circumstances. In this case, I may be able to suspend my abhorrence of strategic bombing. You could make the case that most universities in America are viral bio-weapons labs producing some of the most toxic destructive devices in the history of mankind. Apart from disease, the professoriate and its concomitant bipedal budgies in the media are the most deadly human software virus in the world. The pandemic of imposed dirt-naps and enslavement of subject populations know no peer in sheer destructive power."
Bill Buppert

"For all the NRA’s dire warnings about government gun confiscation, the real, tangible threat to gun-owning Americans today comes not from gun-grabbing bureaucrats but from door-bashing law enforcement officers who think they’re at war — who are too often trained to view the people they serve not as citizens with rights but as potential threats. Here, the NRA just doesn’t want to get involved."
Radley Balko

"Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny; they have only shifted it to another shoulder."
George Bernard Shaw

"There's something wrong with Hillary Clinton. It is not just her constant lying. It is not just that she throws off menacing glares and seethes thwarted entitlement. Watch closely. Something much darker rides along with it. A cold creepiness rarely seen."
Julian Assange

"The expanded range and free flow of information begins to erode the conditioned thinking designed to keep us within our assigned work-stations in the herd. If individual 'resources' – as we are called – cannot be relied upon to submit to the collective purposes of formalized abstractions, perhaps robots and computerized machines can take their places. Robotic policemen, driverless cars, pilotless airplanes, and wars conducted with computers used to select bombing victims thousands of miles away, may be the 'last hurrah' of a system that has done so much to destroy the spontaneous and autonomous nature of what it means to be human."
Butler Shaffer

"American interventions in foreign lands serve a large variety of special interest groups, such as wealthy campaign contributors, foreign aid officials, arms merchants and producers, private contractors, Pentagon planners, intelligence technicians, agricultural producers, academic researchers, special forces, CIA operatives, etc., but they do not serve the common people of the affected countries or those of America. From our perspective, as common people not in government and not part of the intervention enterprises of the federal government, these interventions can and do go wrong in a great many ways, as measured against the goals that we are told are the official rationales. The war on terrorist groups and the wars on various countries labeled as terrorist turn out to produce more terrorism than ever. By producing an ever-larger supply of terrorists, they are taxpayer-subsidized full employment acts for the special interests, the so-called 'swamp'.
American interventions in foreign lands should be terminated, lock, stock and barrel."
Michael Rozeff
