Quotes of the Week

Enlightened insights taken from the past week’s reading:

"The ramped-up efforts to destroy the last vestiges of the independent spirit and middle-class culture are part of the ongoing struggle of the globalists, collectivists and cultural Marxists to maintain their grip on power until One World Governance is cemented.
It can't be done until the American system, including the Constitution, are destroyed."
Bob Livingston

"A sponger or sponge is a person who lives on others. Government power encourages sponging. To understand someone’s politics, find out where they stand on sponging. If they speak about the people running the government or about unity or about a revolution of the people in the country, they favor sponging. They implicitly are thinking about and advocating replacing the current government monopoly by another. In the new system they envision, the names of the parasites will change. The names of their victimized hosts will change, but sponging will go on. As long as there is government without the consent of the governed, government power will always be wielded for the sake of spongers."
Michael Rozeff

"The government should withdraw itself not just from robots and artificial intelligence (AI), but from the economy in general. The State is, by its nature, a coercive institution. And coercion of any type should be kept to a minimum in any society. That means the State should be limited to protecting you from domestic coercion with police. Foreign coercion with an army. And facilitating the adjudication of disputes with a court system. In today’s world, however, it does none of those things effectively—but tries to do everything else."
Doug Casey

"The design is that Libertarianism is an individualist philosophy. The non-aggression principle is the bedrock of the philosophy – a moral foundation – but does not or should not tell individuals what kind worldview – what kind of house – to build on that foundation.
Libertarianism should never tell what size, what style, what color, what materials, how tall or wide or what breadth any individual’s house should be any more than it should tell what idea, what ideology, what politics, what philosophy, what religion what lifestyle any individual’s worldview should be."
Garry Reed

"Every one of the great revolutionists, from Isaiah to Shelley, have been optimists. They have been indignant, not about the badness of existence, but about the slowness of men in realizing its goodness."
G.K. Chesterton

"Thus, it becomes clear that the welfare state is not something that can be grudgingly tolerated as merely a parasitic nuisance. It is overoptimistic to assume that the remaining vestiges of free-market entrepreneurialism will always be able to outpace its insatiable drive toward capital consumption. Nor is it prudent to believe that the hard institutions of private property rights and market prices will be able to survive, let alone do their job effectively, with their underlying cultural foundations eroded to the core. And it is evident that welfare statism strikes at the latter at least as hard, if not more so, than it does at the former."
Jakub Bozydar Wisniewski

"Under free-market capitalism 'power' results from customer service: The more customers you make happy, the more money you make.  You can tell the wealthiest capitalist in the world — Bill Gates — to keep his Microsoft computer and go play in the traffic if you are an Apple user.  But if you say the equivalent of that to the IRS they will send men with guns into your home to apprehend you and they will force you to live in a cage for seven or eight years.  They will beat you into submission for your failure to obey their orders.  It’s sometimes pleasantly called 'democracy.'"
Tom DiLorenzo

"Politics is poison and rulership is barbarity."
Paul Rosenberg
