"The part that resonated with me wasn’t the poetic justice of [Congresscritters] crying for the police. It was that they are actively scared of the people. What I see everywhere is stories about the powerful cowering in fear because what happened today [Jan. 6 in DC] reminded them that the power they possess is predicated on the people going along with it."
Matt Laise
"I’m almost never a glass half-full kind of guy. However, I do see a distinct bright side to Ossof and Warnock 'winning [US Senate seats]' That is that it would further accelerate the demise of what little is left of this 'country' and thereby expand those willing to consider secession as a viable option. The country is over either way; I’d rather rip the band aid off. I am cheering for Loeffler and Perdue, do not mistake me. That said, a loss should be viewed as a bigger opportunity to sell the concept of secession. Call it 'not letting a crisis go to waste' if you must. Secession has always been the best option."
Chaz Donovan
"The real measure of how free is a society is not how its mainstream, well-behaved
ruling class servants are treated, but the fate of its actual dissidents."
Glenn Greenwald
"Why does anyone voluntarily submit to 'tests' for COVIDCon? Certainly, those whose jobs require it deserve our sympathy and understanding, but most suffer these inspections of their own volition. Our Rulers’ checking us for germs is tantamount to Stalin’s Russia offering to determine whether subjects are Kulaks; with those pitiable farmers dispossessed and massacred, only an imbecile would have hired himself to the local bureaucrats and anxiously asked, 'Please, can you tell me whether I’m a Kulak or not?' Our Rulers wage war on us as mercilessly as the Communists did on their people. Those who cooperate only hand the sociopaths more ammunition to lob against us.
Yet tens of thousands of Amerikans line up for COVIDCon’s evaluation. They thereby furnish further proof, however unnecessary, of our culture’s total lunacy. Add to that the tests’ appalling unreliability, and you’ll wonder how these serfs marshal the brainpower to breathe."

"It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into."
Jonathan Swift
"There has been much talk over the years, and many have claimed that communism is dead. Communism never died, and in fact has continued to expand, especially in the West. No war, and no fight were necessary, just a failing economy and a country weakened and destroyed from within. That is exactly what is happening today, and now we face the horrors of communism and the end of Western civilization. It is imperative to remember that all roads toward socialism lead directly to communism, as Lenin so described. In the United States, the march toward socialism has been steadily advancing for many years, especially in all the so-called 'halls of learning,' and in the government that supports this transition. The goal of the state will always be toward socialism, because that is the system that allows for the few to control the many. The takeover of the economy and the elimination of private property will signal the end of freedom and the advancement of communism."
Gary D. Barnett
"So much of left-wing thought is kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot."
George Orwell
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
Charles MacKay
"Independence is the recognition of the fact that yours is the responsibility of judgment and nothing can help you escape it-that no substitute can do your thinking, as no pinch-hitter can live your life-that the vilest form of self-abasement and self-destruction is the subordination of your mind to the mind of another, the acceptance of an authority over your brain, the acceptance of his assertions as facts, his say-so as truth, his edicts as middle-man between your consciousness and your existence."
Ayn Rand
"Political power in the United States is reckless. The political system is nothing less than mob rule. Private property is pillaged and destroyed and the people are manipulated to support it. There is no 'consent of the governed.'
Politics in America is not a party system. It is instead a repetitive and insulting process of pacifying the national will with the illusion of freedom and political choices.
Once we unmask the morality of criminal politics, we see a sophisticated process of using words and phrases to force upon us a social and moral ethic of conformity. In fact, our standard of mental health is nothing more than our complete submission to conformity. If we translate further, conformity means yielding to the morality of government authority without questions.
The 'national interest' is a monopoly of demagogues and powercrats."
Bob Livingston
"For the first time in my life I began to realize that it is not evil and brutality, but nearly always weakness, that is to blame for the worst things that happen in this world."
Stefan Zweig
"We are in a tunnel. We are carrying the light. Around us are sheep and doomsayers and hostile actors. They have redefined freedom in Orwellian terms to mean obedience. They now see privation and isolation as consecrations to a new cause: allegiance to a phantom germ.
That America could be brought down in such a preposterous way is evidence of how far this country has traveled from its origins. Its founding ideas.
Our enemies want to destroy those ideas. They attack them from all sides. They say justice never existed here, and they will bring it about now.
But all they know is destruction.
We will outflank them if we have the will.
So let us have the will.
The night appears long, but we can end it.
We are the cure.
This is the war."
Jon Rappoport
"What keeps a truly civil society together isn’t laws, regulations, and police. It’s peer pressure, social opprobrium, moral approbation, and your reputation. These are the four elements that keep things together. Western Civilization is built on voluntarism. But, as the State grows, that’s being replaced by coercion in every aspect of society. There are regulations on the most obscure areas of life. As Harvey Silverglate pointed out in his book, the average American commits three felonies a day. Whether he’s caught and prosecuted is a subject of luck and the arbitrary will of some functionary. That’s antithetical to the core values of Western Civilization."
Doug Casey
"Guys like Fauci get up there and start talking; He doesn’t know anything really about anything. The man thinks that he can take a blood sample and stick it in an electron microscope, and if it’s got a virus in there you will know it. He doesn’t understand electron microscopy, and medicine, and he should not be in the position like he’s in.
Those guys have an agenda! They make up their own rules as they go, they change them when they want to, and they smugly, like Tony Fauci, does not mind going on television in front of the people that pay his salary, and lie directly into the camera."
Kary Mullis, inventor of the PCR testing method
"Never blame a legislative body for not doing something. When they do nothing, they don’t hurt anybody. When they do something is when they become dangerous."
Will Rogers
"The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable."
H.L. Mencken
"The fact is, groups in general are abstractions of the mind. Just because someone declares that you are a part of their society does not make it so. Walking away is every individual’s right as a human being. Groups that survive and thrive tend to be built on shared values and principles. They don’t all need to agree on every detail, but they can’t be diametrically opposed in every way either.
Usually those with principles that match with an inherent sense of conscience are the groups that most appeal to people.
That said, there are people in this world (around 1% to 5% of any given population) that do NOT have inherent conscience, or they suffer from an ingrained affliction called narcissism. These people are attracted to movements that seek to dominate others, and they maintain membership through force rather than appealing to principle. There is no possible way that this group can ever coexist with people that value freedom and empathy. At least, not without incredible conflict…"
Brandon Smith
"Prior to capitalism, the way people amassed great wealth was by looting, plundering and enslaving their fellow man. Capitalism made it possible to become wealthy by serving your fellow man."
Walter Williams
"If you read the Declaration of Independence, which includes a list of the colonists’ grievances with the British government, you won’t find any complaints that the British government was infringing upon the colonists’ freedom of speech or freedom of the press.
No Nazi soldier was fighting to strip Americans of their freedom of speech. No Viet Cong guerrilla got up in the morning vowing to prevent an American from publishing anything. No Iraqi 'terrorist' killed American soldiers so that Americans back home would stop speaking freely. No Afghan 'insurgent' planted an IED because he was upset about press freedom in the United States.
No foreigner has ever been a threat to Americans’ freedom of speech and freedom of the press. It is the U.S. government that has always been the biggest threat."
