Quotes of the Week

Enlightened insights taken from the past week’s reading:

"History sings in rhymes.

Today, the nation-state — and its outgrowth of Frankensteinian supranational entities — have its own legion of apocalyptic writers. Rather than drawing from the imagery of the Book of Revelations, however…

They draw upon different horsemen: images of nuclear war, climate disasters, falling asteroids, civil war, and more. Many are once again realizing — perhaps intuitively — that the nation-state’s increasing doom-and-gloom is more likely a reflection of its world ending… not necessarily THE world.

And many have simply stopped listening. Some of them are even busy building new systems that could, perhaps sooner than later, make the old ones obsolete.

At the risk of redundancy, though the power structures are once again changing, the same rules will apply: violence, myths, and status."

Chris Campbell

"Of course, the government and its police and military enforcers, its corporate sponsors in central banking, big tech, the mainstream media, and the medical and pharmaceutical industries, are today most all certainly terrorists, and deserve to be vilified at every turn, but are they the only problem? Governments for all of time have been corrupt, tyrannical, murderous, and aggressive seekers of power and control. This should be common knowledge, and even if blind ignorance gets in the way of understanding this reality, one has to come to that conclusion at some point in time.

Therefore, it is imperative to look at the real problems that face us, and lay blame where it belongs; on all those who refuse to stand up for their own lives and liberty, and in the process become co-conspirators with the state against the rest of us, whether intentionally or not. This includes much, if not most, of the compliant masses in this country. It is easy to excuse one’s behavior by pretending that going along is a 'sacrifice' for the so-called common good, but that is just pure communistic poppycock."

Gary D. Barnett

"Many, many people believe that spreading COVID falsehoods can be so dangerous that censorship is absolutely necessary.

This view happens to be the central refuge of liars.

It turns out that big-time liars always want to censor their opponents. It’s the only leg they have to stand on. In an atmosphere of free discourse, they would fall.

And of course, who decides what is false and what is true? Who hangs out that shingle and makes judgments that affect the lives of millions of people?

There is an astounding level of ignorance here: many people believe 'the truth' should carry the day. Once it is established, there is no need to permit freedom of speech.

These people have a very low ceiling of understanding. They’ve never explored what freedom of speech is all about. They’re citizens in name only."

Jon Rappoport

"Americans will have to recognize that the serene days of political normality in America are long gone. People can yearn for them as much as they want, but trying to recreate the unity of yore is a fool’s errand. We’re living in a postpersuasion society where people are even tribalizing on the basis of the TV shows they watch. Can anyone say with a straight face that the US will be able to put the pieces back together?

At this juncture in American history, most Americans aren’t exactly cracking open books extolling the finer points of Misesian decentralization, but they instinctively know something is wrong with the US. This is where these Misesian insights can be inserted into the national discussion and, more importantly, gradually implemented in areas where it’s most feasible."

Jose Nino

"If the state is the organization of the political means of wealth acquisition, then the market is the embodiment of the economic means. The market all but compels people to be other-regarding, but not by means of intimidation, threats, and propaganda, as in socialist and statist systems. It employs the perfectly normal, morally acceptable desire to improve one's material conditions and station in life, both of which can grow under capitalism only by directing one's efforts to the production of a good or service that improves the well-being of his fellow man."

Tom Woods

"Elites are inevitable; their legitimacy and continuity is not. Ours lack the virtue and wisdom needed for good governance and leadership."

Nathanael Blake

"Ivy League universities are just as capable of infecting the world as any Chinese laboratory."

Tho Bishop

"There is a weird historical analogy to the transition between Trump and Biden. Trump initiated the lockdowns, but to hear Biden supporters today, you would get the impression that Trump was a Covid-denying do-nothing president and it took Biden to come to power to really wage war on the virus. This story is complete rot, but so is the story about Hoover. Lies have a way of persisting in a political climate. 

Thus have most Trump supporters never held him personally responsible for initiating the pandemic response and pushing Operation Warp Speed that have foisted these surprisingly ineffective vaccines on the world population. He certainly has never admitted it."

Jeffrey Tucker

"Back in the 1600s (and prior), anyone who disagreed with the civil or religious authorities was branded a heretic. And their censorship was especially brutal; people were expelled, imprisoned, tortured, and even put to death for questioning authority and expressing a different view.

We have once again returned to medieval intolerance for ideological differences.

Australia’s government is a sad example of this Dark Ages-era mentality-- that they (and they alone) dictate truth. And anyone who questions their supreme wisdom must be banished.

Back then people faced Inquisition, witch hunts, and public beheadings. Today it’s the Twitter mob, cancel culture, and expulsion."

Simon Black

"We are not supposed to know our numbers. By instituting a two-tier society through vax mandates the establishment has made an error. They obviously assumed there would be far less rebellion against the passports. They obviously assumed that there would be a vast majority of support and the 10 percent or less of the population refusing to comply would be overwhelmed and surrounded by the COVID cult. They figured we would be compelled by peer pressure and the fear of standing out and that we would naturally fall in line. Instead, 30 percent to 50 percent of the population depending on the state or city or industry is in revolt, and we are starting to see how many of us there really are across the country."

Brandon Smith

"No one has isolated/purified 'the virus'. They simply assume that patient samples contain 'it' (based on meaningless PCR tests). They adulterate patient samples with genetic material and toxic drugs, starve the cells, then irrationally blame 'the virus' for harm to the cells. They point to something that has never been purified, characterized, sequenced or studied scientifically, in a cell culture and insist 'that’s the virus'. They fabricate the 'genomes' from zillions of sequences detected in a soup. It’s all wild speculation and assumptions, zero science.

So the people responsible for the blatantly fraudulent claims made by these institutions are either wildly incompetent or intentionally lying."

Christine Massey

"Why does the production of an ineffective and dangerous 'vaccine' take precedence over production of a cure?

Why is all the emphasis on ineffective, dangerous, and counterproductive vaccination and not on cures. If there are to be mandates, why not mandate effective and safe cures and preventatives, such as Ivermectin, HCQ, and monoclonal antibodies?

How was it possible for public health systems around the world to totally fail in such an inexcusable and irresponsible manner?

The governor of NY state and mayor of NYC are destroying people’s lives and businesses and liberty for the sake of Big Pharma profits. So are the governments of Australia, Austria, and Germany. Why aren’t the guilty politicians arrested?

These are the real questions. As we all know, they are the questions the presstitutes and politicians ignore. Those who ask the relevant questions are demonized."

Paul Craig Roberts
