"War is like a vacuum cleaner that sucks tax dollars out of your pocket and funnels the money
directly into the pockets of the robber barons who own the weapons factories."
Oliver Markus Malloy
"The feds have perfected three things — lying, stealing and killing. In the [Julian] Assange revelations, we learned that they have excelled at what they have perfected. They don’t care about the Constitution or the rule of law, both of which they have sworn to uphold. The deep state is motivated by a warped belief that its members are superior to the Constitution and can use the powers of government however they want, so long as they can get away with it.
They prefer the government’s unbridled liberty and the servitude of the rest of us. Assange is a hero. He exposed government without limits — the archenemy of personal freedom."
Andrew Napolitano
"Some Americans think that it’s important to act 'tough.' It’s really just evidence that the US Government has become completely unprincipled and out of control. It’s thrashing around like a giant dinosaur in its death throes.
There are a dozen areas in the world where the US Government might decide to be 'tough' for some arbitrary reason. It just makes us look ridiculous when we’re already a failing state. Acting tough when your country is literally falling apart gives real dimension to the concept of stupidity."
Doug Casey
"You can bet the rent money that whatever politicians do will end up harming consumers...Economic ignorance is to politicians what idle hands are to the devil. Both provide the workshop for the creation of evil."
Walter E. Williams
"Congestion is a shortage of whatever good or service is being used, purchased. In the case of a museum, it is access. For highway travel it is getting there at a reasonable speed. Ditto for line ups for air travel. But what is a shortage? When does it occur? It takes place when demand is greater than supply. And what typically occurs when this eventuality takes place? Why, prices rise. That is why we have no queues for ships or sailing wax. Nor for books, toys, shoes and pretty much everything else under the sun.
Why cannot this sane, sensible and simple solution rescue us regarding the nation’s airports, highways and museums? That is because they are all under the aegis of the government, and this wonderful institution has determined that zero prices shall forever prevail."
Walter Block
"Not one in 10 million looks for the likeness or sameness of issues. We do not look for the essential ingredient common to all politics and religion. But there is a mathematical and spiritual certainty that can liberate the mind from created myths. It is the axiom that, 'Things that are equal to the same thing are equal to each other.' An axiom is a self-evident and universal law.
I've said it before, and it bears repeating: Communism = Socialism = Fascism = Democracy. The labels are important to the global elite only insofar as they deceive the masses.
We cannot escape authoritarianism until our intellect overpowers spiritual and political deception. Eventually we get the great revelation that politics and religion are more alike than they are different. This is the master key and the essential ingredient. This is the key to understanding."
Bob Livingston
"In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better."
Theodore Dalrymple
"There are those who prefer long wars, totalitarian governments culturing misinformed and disarmed populations, and state manipulation of food and energy to satisfy a defined vision – they meet at Davos, arriving in private jets, drinking and dining as if they owned everything. But they do not fight for anything, and they do not stand for anything, and are more sheep than wolf, more rabbit than fox, more mouse than cat."
Karen Kwiatkowski
"A turn toward freedom by centralized authorities will reliably preserve the Union. Agreed upon freedom allows all manner of people to get along. Something very different appears to be occurring, though. A hodgepodge of geographically interspersed pro-freedom and pro-totalitarian areas have formed and the more the central governments at the state level and federal level push, the more likely they make secession and in many areas.
I do not know where that leads.
I know this: we will go in a good direction if the lions of this era will rise up and lead.
And that is needed of you, dear lion — to rise up and lead.
You may not change the whole world overnight, but you can change the world as you know it."
Alan Stevo
"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 fact that each of us knows there are vast areas beyond his knowledge makes it easy to understand why so many want to turn decisions over to those more expert. It is the next step—that giving them to politicians and government bureaucrats does the trick—where the difficulty lies. It arises because those aware of their own lack of knowledge in particular areas forget that they aren't the ones who, in market systems, make the choices that are crucially dependent on that knowledge.
Markets do not put power to decide in the hands of the uninformed public, but in the hands of the relevant experts, even when only a handful of people are experts. As Friedrich Hayek emphasized over half a century ago in 'The Use of Knowledge in Society,' markets are mechanisms that make use of the vastly different and overlapping knowledge of all participants, each 'expert' in a different array of circumstances of time and place, even when the vast majority knows nothing at all about them. Specialization coordinated by markets is, in fact, the primary source of advancing civilization."
Gary Galles
"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions."
