Quotes of the Week

 

Enlightened insights taken from the past week’s reading:

"There is a great deal of evidence to prove that immunization of children does more harm than good. There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza. The producers of these vaccines know that they are worthless, but they go on selling them, anyway."

Dr. J. Anthony Morris, former Chief Vaccine Control Officer and research virologist, U.S. FDA

"With everyone jawing about a return to civility in American politics, we all should be reminded that American politics have never been civil. The solution was always federalism, the ability of the states to control their own 'internal police.' The Constitution would not have been ratified had any 'friend' of the document promised otherwise.

The real threat to civility in America has always been nationalism. We don’t need to listen to people in other states with other agendas tell us what to do. We simply need to live and let live, sweep around our own backdoor and stop thinking that every issue, no matter how small, is a 'national' crisis."

Brion McClanahan

"Obviously, privilege lies with black Americans.  They benefit from racial quotas in employment, promotion, and university admission. There are crimes that only whites can commit and only blacks can suffer.  That black teenagers have no qualm about assaulting and beating to death a white man in public at a county fair is proof that blacks are aware of their impunity.

The response to rioting and looting by the mayors of Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, New York, Chicago and other cities have reinforced the belief of blacks that the racism of white people gives them impunity from their illegal actions.  The kneeling of elected public officials before Antifa and Black Lives Matter, the imposition of stand down orders to police, the absence of property protection against looting and destruction, the release without charges of looters, the public apologies made to the criminals by public officials, all of this clearly conveys to blacks the impression that they have impunity."

Paul Craig Roberts

"The State’s dutiful apologists always cite 'the law' as justification for its officers’ actions, as if mere legislation could ever serve as anything more than a ghostly simulacrum for moral bearing, ethical behavior and critical, independent thinking. Have these useful idiots never encountered a law they found unjust, an edict passed them from on high they thought to question, a directive they considered unworthy of their blind, slavish obedience? 

One can only be glad such men have not been asked to sharpen bayonets, polish jackboots or snitch on members of their own families… at least, not yet."

Joel Bowman

"The Deep State is destructive, but it’s great for the people in it. And, like any living organism, its prime directive is: Survive! It survives by indoctrinating the fiction that it’s both good and necessary. However, it’s a parasite that promotes the ridiculous notion that everyone can live at the expense of society.

Is it a conspiracy, headed by a man stroking a white cat? I think not. I find it’s hard enough to get a bunch of friends to agree on what movie to see, much less a bunch of power-hungry miscreants bent on running everyone’s lives. But, on the other hand, the top dogs all know each other, went to the same schools, belong to the same clubs, socialize, and, most important, have common interests, values, and philosophies.

The American Deep State rotates around the Washington Beltway. It imports America’s wealth as tax revenue. A lot of that wealth is consumed there by useless mouths. And then, it exports things that reinforce the Deep State, including wars, fiat currency, and destructive policies. This is unsustainable simply because nothing of value comes out of the city."

Doug Casey

"Every political ideology has three elements: a vision of hell with an enemy that needs to be crushed, a vision of a more perfect world, and a plan for transitioning from one to the other. The means of transition usually involve the takeover and deployment of society’s most powerful tool: the state. For this reason, ideologies trend totalitarian. They depend fundamentally on overriding people’s preferences and choices and replacing them with scripted and planned belief systems and behaviors."

Jeffrey Tucker

"To restrain the individual states, the U.N. was instituted. Building upon it, global power-seekers now want a world government. Protection, world peace, progress and prosperity are the lures, especially if such a government would encompass the end of weapons of mass destruction held by the existing national governments.

But nothing prevents a world government, should it be instituted, from doing what all governments have always done, which is to turn people into subjects and restrict their liberties, while at the same time failing to supply the promised protection. Being a monopolist government run by technocrats, the worst tyranny imaginable would result.

The answer to the insecurities generated by weapons of mass destruction and other evils of national governments therefore is not world government. It is a bottoms-up restructuring of governments by the world’s peoples. If this is not done, we are looking at twin evils like international warfare and global government."

Michael Rozeff

"Texans should be free to make their own decisions. If people want to work in these times, or even stay inside their homes, they have every right to do so. It is not on the Governor or government to impose those types of restrictions. He should have offered up the best verifiable information at hand and let Texans make their own choices rather than blindly taking marching orders from inept, inefficient, and power-hungry federal bureaucrats.

The solution has always been to collect and confirm every piece of data, give Texans access to that data, then allow the people to make decisions about their health and economic livelihoods for themselves. That’s what freedom is.

After all the businesses have been put through, many have been closed down, and some are on their last leg. Most will never recover. This is not the Texas that we know and love. It’s time to reclaim our government in Texas and step away from the union that is the source of the COVID misery. It has lost sight of what America once was and what Texas should always be. It’s time to move forward with TEXIT."

Logan Georgiadis

"Rulers by definition seek to rule, and in order to accomplish their mission, control over others is necessary. In modern times, control over society has remained in place, but the basis of that control has dramatically changed. There is an old saying that a 'Tiger never changes his stripes,' and this is an accurate description concerning the ruling elites, as money, power, and control have always been their only gods. Instead of magic and superstition, instead of faith-based religious rule, instead of the rule of royalty, and instead of rule by the majority, the planned rule sought will be one guided by 'science' and technology. Real science is not considered in this equation, as future rule will be based on politicized science, which is completely immune from steadfast scrutiny, from question, from doubt, and from unrelenting challenge. In other words, the politicized science of today is not science at all, but is merely agenda driven fake science."

Gary D. Barnett

"Ironically, Antifa and BLM are simply cops without state sanction yet but they are the vanguard and champion of everything both parties hold dear: the Democrats are simply more brazen about their embrace of the communist ideals and the invertebrate Mensheviks in the Grand Old Politburo are cravenly curled on the floor at their feet. No matter who occupies the Offal Office, the government always gets bigger, more predatory and increases the pound of flesh it exacts from its supplicants across the fruited plain.

The beginning of the end was the ratification of the Constitution and the nails in the coffin of any individual freedom and liberty was the first government schools. States passed laws to make schooling compulsory between 1852 (Massachusetts) and 1917 (Mississippi). Once the state commands most of the waking hours of the young minds and the remainder of time they’re prisoners to electronic screens, the slaves no longer believe they are captives. The existential Stockholm Syndrome writ large that is the state simply sees you as a battery, a disposable battery, eminently replaceable."

Bill Buppert

"I cringe when I hear the mention of 'constitutional rights.' There is no such thing in the United States! As one example, we wouldn't be forced to sign annual confessions on IRS tax form 1040 each year if there were any such thing as 'constitutional rights.'

My friends, we are not under constitutional law. We are under merchant law. The U.S. Constitution is now merely historical memorabilia of human freedom that now passed away in favor of the money creators.

This means all so-called justice is under the jurisdiction of the 'king's court,' the same as in colonial days. You didn't know that? We are aliens in our own country and our continued beliefs in legal fictions and historical myths are demeaning to our mental capacity and militates far more to slavery than human liberty."

Bob Livingston

"As long as mankind continue to pay 'national debts,' so-called – that is, so long as they are such dupes and cowards as to pay for being cheated, plundered, enslaved, and murdered – so long there will be enough to lend the money for those purposes; and with that money a plenty of tools, called soldiers, can be hired to keep them in subjection. But when they refuse any longer to pay for being thus cheated, plundered, enslaved, and murdered, they will cease to have cheats, and usurpers, and robbers, and murderers and blood-money loan-mongers for masters."
