"The Court is now saying: the federal government was never given any authority over abortion. Therefore, it is not the job of the Court to be a superlegislature, deciding contentious issues for every state in the Union. We have states for a reason. We are returning this issue to them to decide.
That seems sensible enough to people who believe in local self-government.
At the same time, there are millions of people who consider this decision outrageous.
So they want to increase the number of people sitting in our superlegislature, so they can get the outcome they want. Same goes for any number of other issues on which we are hopelessly divided.
How about, instead of vainly hoping that we can persuade 80 million other people to think like us, or that we can just keep fiddling with the Court in perpetuity, we consider going our separate ways in peace? The very fact that this is the one option the establishment won't even let us entertain is a pretty good indication that it must be the right one."
Tom Woods
"He who obeys, does not listen to himself!
Silence is worse; all truths that are kept silent become poisonous."
Friedrich Nietzsche
"Assault-weapons laws resemble hate-speech laws. Hate-speech laws usually begin by targeting a few words that almost no one approves of. Once the system for controlling and punishing 'hate speech' is put into place, there is little or nothing to stop it from expanding to punish more and more types of everyday speech. Similarly, once an assault-weapons law is on the books, there is little to prevent politicians from vastly increasing the number of weapons banned under the law."
Lew Rockwell
"We’re in for all kinds of interesting surprises — those of us who survive this clusterfuck — but the biggest one of all will be the WEF’s Great Re-set falling on its aforesaid ass as, when the dust settles, their grandiose, totalitarian, and ultimately wicked model of the human project yields to the astounding re-enchantment of a world pregnant with meaning, purpose, and grace. I’m not kidding around. God may be a prankster, as I’ve suggested many times, but he’s also still God, and he doesn’t appreciate wannabe faux-messianic technocrat pricks like Klaus Schwab messing with his glorious creation."
James Howard Kunstler
"Thus, the public has two hopes, and Government makes two promises—many benefits and no taxes. Hopes and promises that, being contradictory, can never be realized.
Now, is not this the cause of all our revolutions? For between the Government, which lavishes promises which it is impossible to perform, and the public, which has conceived hopes which can never be realized, two classes of men interpose—the ambitious and the Utopians. It is circumstances which give these their cue. It is enough if these vassals of popularity cry out to the people—'The authorities are deceiving you; if we were in their place, we would load you with benefits and exempt you from taxes'."
Frederic Bastiat, 1848
"The Lincoln myth is the ideological cornerstone of arguments used to prop up unlimited and unconstitutional governmental power in America. It is supported by both political parties for exactly that reason, which is why its monument is a monument to fascism by the state’s own admission. By its own proud and in-your-face admission. It was completed during the heyday of American elitists’ bizarre infatuation with fascism. They understood that no one in American history was a better symbol of brutal, uncompromising, dictatorial government, Roman Empire Style, than Abraham Lincoln. This is what any state or collection of states would be seceding from if they should choose to do so. Perhaps the Southern Confederates knew what they were doing after all."
Tom DiLorenzo
"Government has become ungovernable; that is, it cannot leave off governing. Law has become lawless; that is, it cannot see where laws should stop. The chief feature of our time is the meekness of the mob and the madness of the government."
G.K. Chesterton
"In recent American history, consider that every single war was a war of total aggression; never once meant to defend this country, but only to advance geopolitical desires, steal, maim, murder, and subdue both the resident and domestic populations. Consider the past fraudulent pandemic scares that included the HIV-Aids scam, and the deceit of the Swine Flu and Ebola epidemic as risks to the world. Consider the state-plotted attack called 9/11 that led to the horrendous 'Patriot Act,' and the dishonest and murderous sham called the 'War on Terror,' which was only a War of Terror. And now we have the bogus ‘coronavirus’ scare that has led to a fake ‘Covid’ pandemic. This is the epitome of insanity and madness, but it has been accepted by the bulk of humanity as real; all without even a shred of evidence or truth to support this obvious plot meant to allow the 'elite' few to achieve global dominance."
Gary D. Barnett
"The State has always been the patrimony of some privileged class or other; a priestly class, an aristocratic class, a bourgeois class, and finally a bureaucratic class."
Mikhail Bakunin
"Lying has consequences. When you are discovered, people do not believe you in the future. This is the situation currently faced by big tech, big media, big government, big pharma, and big everything. They display their power but they do not display their intelligence and they have not earned our trust. Quite the opposite.
This is why the seeds of revolt have been so deeply planted and why they are growing so mightily now. The driving goal here will be to restart the engine of progress back to what it was only two years ago, back to the decentralist paradigm. The technology that was pushing that paradigm is not only still with us, but it has been tested and dramatically advanced during lockdowns and mandates. We have more tools than ever before to confront and finally defeat the ruling class that seized so much power over two years."
Jeffrey Tucker
"Millions of people never analyze themselves. Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained. They don’t know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction. By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress."
Paramahansa Yogananda (1986). "Self-realization"
"When conservatives protest something at least we go to the source instead of burning down the homes and businesses of innocent people. And I want to explain something else to leftists because I don't think they get it. When you do see a conservative 'insurrection' (rebellion against centralized tyranny), they will not be unarmed like we were on Jan. 6, and they will not stop until all corrupt elements of the establishment are removed from power. If you were hiding under your beds over the events of Jan. 6, you really have no clue."
Brandon Smith
"We are well on our way to becoming a banana republic in every respect except, of course, that we don’t grow bananas."
