Quotes of the Week

Enlightened insights taken from the past week’s reading:

"Truth crushed to earth is truth still and like a seed will rise again."

Jefferson Davis

"The doctrine of blind obedience and unqualified submission to any human power, whether civil or ecclesiastical, is the doctrine of despotism."

Sarah Grimke, Angelina Grimke

"People that live in constant fear have no ability to think or reason. Their primary goal is to seek safety regardless of the consequences. Their ability to love and care for others is diminished, and their compassion for friends and family disappears in an effort to attain what they falsely believe to be self-preservation. By becoming completely indifferent to their surroundings and personal relationships, they become dangerous to themselves and others. The ruling class fully understands this dynamic, and has used it to gain an advantageous position of power over the entire country. We are in the midst of a coup that is turning one against another, and all against all. The people themselves are being used to destroy each other, and all those that comply with the state’s directives to hide their faces with a mask, to eliminate expression, and to isolate themselves from friends and family, are not only destroying their own lives, but are a great risk to all others. There is no excuse for this behavior."

Gary D. Barnett

"Without even a one person one vote check on government, there is no rule of law.  Law becomes what serves the rulers or those behind them who pull the strings. We are already experiencing this in the United States.  Justice no longer exists for the just.  Those who reveal to us our loss of civil liberties and loss of protection of law, such as Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, are hunted down just as was Cicero, a high Roman office holder and famous orator, who tried to save the Roman people from oppression and paid for it with his life."

Paul Craig Roberts

"The only form of democracy that suits a free society is economic democracy in the laissez-faire form, where each person votes with his money for what he wants in the marketplace. Only then can every individual obtain what he wants without compromising the interests of any other person. That’s the polar opposite of the 'economic democracy' of socialist pundits who have twisted the term to mean the political allocation of wealth."

Doug Casey

"Any conservative who continues to harrumph, 'but we’re a constitutional republic, not a democracy,' should immediately have a big red Bozo the Clown nose implanted on his face.

Every judge in America, including the 'supreme' court’s government lawyers with lifetime tenure, was given the clear message over the summer that any rule-of-law-ish opposition to the pre-planned massive vote fraud that was organized by the Demo-Bolsheviks would be met with more pervasive and more violent riots than those conducted by the military wing of the Demo-Bolshevik party — Antifa and Only Black Lives Matter.  The Demo-Bolsheviks knew that no judge would want that on his hands, guaranteeing that the mob would show up at his house — and worse.  The dark art of political blackmail."

Tom DiLorienzo

"[Aldous] Huxley referred to the tyrants of the future as 'social engineers' and he warned that advanced technology would be used for social conditioning and controlling human behavior. He also warned us about the kind of people who would eagerly adopt the mentality of 'Give me television and hamburgers, but don’t bother me with the responsibilities of liberty.'

*That* precisely describes what we are witnessing today, especially under the pretense of so-called 'unselfish, responsible, adult-in-the-room' Democrats. Nothing is less 'adult in the room' than these spineless people who willingly turn themselves over to their Overlords and completely trash 250 years of liberty in the process."

Karen De Coster

"Establishment elites would like you to believe that all ideals are a product of the environment, and that those who control the environment control the morals of the people by extension. This is a lie. Values such as freedom exist even in the most oppressive environments, and people seek it out even when the risk is overwhelming. Empathy is also inherent for most of us, but a certain percentage of people are born without the capacity for it. The real fight in the middle of any power struggle is the fight between those who are born with a conscience, values and empathy, and those who are born without these grounding characteristics.

Psychopathic tyrants desperately want to prove that all other people are just as devoid of humanity and soul as they are. They want to prove that the voice of conscience that guides us is a mask we wear to pretend that we are not evil at our core. Control comes from the fallacy that we are dependent on our environments to tell us who we are as individuals. Control comes from the notion that morals are relative, and that principles are social constructs."

Bob Livingston

"The bottom line is that COVID is being weaponized to use vaccines and testing as channels to enhance what is already a massive surveillance state. China does the same thing under the guise of a 'social credit score.'

You either get with the program and conform to government orders or you can expect to be marginalized when it comes to jobs, travel and getting your kids into top schools.

The 21st-century dictators don’t need goon squads. There’s an app for that."

Jim Rickards

"What we’re facing now is all part of the ten thousand year war for freedom.

Determination, war, blood, sacrifice: It started in clans in caves; it made a majestic layover in ancient Athens; it flashed forward to the signing of the Magna Carta and the American Constitution; it stopped to take a quick photo of a New Orleans DA who was standing outside on a rainy night with a valise full of papers exposing the assassination of a US president; it moved into another kind of struggle with zeroes and ones flashing inside technological masterpieces designed to invent reality, any reality.

It’s still the same war."

Jon Rappoport

"There is no denying that during a pandemic there will be a need to alter one’s behavior, but just as no state bureaucrat can successfully plan the economy, no public health official is capable of centrally planning a response for hundreds of millions of people who are all in different conditions of life, with different material and spiritual needs.

Every person must decide for himself what the proper course of action is in light of his unique life circumstances. Ripping these decisions from every person and placing them in the hands of public health bureaucrats has yielded disaster."

Zachary Yost

"That no government, so called, can reasonably be trusted, or reasonably be supposed to have honest purposes in view, any longer than it depends wholly upon voluntary support."

Lysander Spooner

Well, when I was young, I was pretty dumb. And now that I’m older, I’m pretty fucking dumb. I don’t know everything, and I think I do. So, there’s the problem."

Willie Nelson at age 87
