"I’m sure we’ll be hearing nonstop from every war propaganda outlet that Putin’s invasion shows we need to spend more on the military.
Since we’ve just demonstrated nuclear powers can’t fight each other, the $750 billion U.S. military is just a taxpayer rip off."
Tom Mullen
"Vladimir Putin is really the best friend of the people of the west because he is exposing the complete moral vacuity, incompetence and criminality of just about all of western leadership. With just a few exceptions, that is the total leadership of the American government. From the (phony) president and executive branch, on down thru the House of Representatives and the Senate, we are led by a bunch of morons."
David Krall
"The United States is coming to an end…. The United States is descending into the kind of sectarian conflict usually found in poor countries with histories of violence, not the world’s most enduring democracy and largest economy…. In the eyes of the expert class and ordinary American alike, the odds of a civil war in the near future are about the same as drawing a ten or higher in a pack of cards."
Stephen Marche
"The NFL’s Washington Wokeskins just announced the new name for the team: The Washington Commanders. No, not those commandments but more like: Wear a Mask! Shut Down Your Business! Keep Your Kids Home from School! Shut Up and Pay Up at the Gas Pump! You’re Fired! You’re Censored! No Mask, No Airplane Seat for You! No Amazon Sales for You, You Deplorable Dissenter!
You oppose teenage boys in dresses raping little girls in school bathrooms, do ya? You’re a Transophobe! And probably a racist as well!
You don’t think Supreme Court justices should be appointed according to skin color instead of merit? No job for you, law professor!
You want free speech on campus? You’re expelled, white male heterosexual oppressor!
You don’t want nuclear war with Russia? Russian spy! Traitor!"
Tom DiLorenzo
"The tyrant, who in order to hold his power, suppresses every superiority, does away with good men, forbids education and light, controls every movement of the citizens and, keeping them under a perpetual servitude, wants them to grow accustomed to baseness and cowardice, has his spies everywhere to listen to what is said in the meetings, and spreads dissension and calumny among the citizens and impoverishes them, is obliged to make war in order to keep his subjects occupied and impose on them permanent need of a chief."
Aristotle
"If somebody somehow managed to leak 100 percent of all classified information on all US government malfeasance, it probably wouldn’t have the effect you’d imagine. The mass media would either ignore it or spin it into obscurity, and it would be quickly shuffled out of the spotlight. We may be sure this is true because there’s already more than enough publicly available information on US government depravity to completely discredit all of its leading institutions. The reason that information hasn’t caused uproar and unrest is because of narrative management. Propaganda is the ultimate enemy.
The real problem isn’t access to information so much as the way that information is presented to the average citizen. That’s why it’s so important to attack and discredit the means of information presentation at mass scale wherever there’s an opportunity. Imperial narrative control is our real prison."
Caitlin Johnstone
"The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness…
The apparent endemicity of bad research behaviour is alarming. In their quest for telling a compelling story, scientists too often sculpt data to fit their preferred theory of the world. Or they retrofit hypotheses to fit their data. Journal editors deserve their fair share of criticism too. We aid and abet the worst behaviours. Our acquiescence to the impact factor fuels an unhealthy competition to win a place in a select few journals. Our love of 'significance' pollutes the literature with many a statistical fairy-tale…Journals are not the only miscreants. Universities are in a perpetual struggle for money and talent…"
Dr. Richard Horton, editor-in-chief, The Lancet
"If you are too weak to give yourselves your own law, then a tyrant shall lay his yoke upon you and say: 'Obey! Clench your teeth and obey!' And all good and evil shall be drowned in obedience to him."
Friedrich Nietzsche
"Those who choose to side with the state should be abandoned, and those who are willing to fight for freedom should avoid the pitfalls of divisiveness and work together to dismantle the government and separate from this state. Terror comes in many forms, but the people are their own worst enemy, so those who fully comply, those who work against their neighbors and do not work against the state to stop its attempt to accomplish its 'Great Reset,' are the problem, and are therefore helping the state terrorists achieve their goal.
So, what are the real terrorist threats? It is this government, all its partners, all those actively helping the state accomplish its agendas, and those who do nothing to stop it. There is no excuse for indifference and cowardice when it comes down to one’s own life and freedom. There is no excuse at all!"
Gary D. Barnett
"A people enslaves itself, cuts its own throat, when, having a choice between being vassals and being free men, it deserts its liberties and takes on the yoke, gives consent to its own misery, or, rather, apparently welcomes it.
But O, good Lord! What strange phenomenon is this? What name shall we give it? What is the nature of this misfortune? What vice is it, or, rather, what degradation? To see an endless multitude of people not merely obeying, but driven to servility? Not ruled, but tyrannized over? These wretches have no wealth, no kin, nor wife nor children, not even life itself that they can call their own."
Étienne de La Boétie
"I often imagine what historians of the future will write about our times. The president who promised to make America great again actually believed it was a fine thing to do to tell everyone to stop working and stop producing. Just stop doing everything while he fought the virus, and we would all gather together in a few weeks and congratulate him on his stunning achievement. The arrogance and sheer idiocy of believing that just takes one’s breath away. And here we are with the very foundation of American productivity being gutted. People are the ultimate resource for any economy. We are now witness to the shocking disregard that the American left has for the very workers who were declared 'essential' only last year, people who are now being told that they are dispensable. Not even the US president can muster enough energy to pretend to care."
Jeffrey Tucker
"Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world…would do this, it would change the earth."
William Faulkner
"Keeping this defunct marriage between leftist culture and conservative culture going just for the sake of appearances is the most destructive policy we can have in the long run My thinking is this: If we separate there are two possible results... we go our own separate ways peacefully and the conservative states will continue to succeed economically and socially because we will have freedom, while leftist states will continue to sink into debt and will continue to bleed citizens due to oppression. Or we separate and the leftists try to stop us using force, and we go to war. And make no mistake, they ultimately lose.
The latter is not the most pleasant option but in either case, freedom remains in the world. It is time to stop treating separation and division as integrally bad. Sometimes it is healthy and necessary. The old phrase 'divide and conquer' is a misnomer for our particular situation. Often, nations and cultures are conquered from within because they refuse to separate and define their moral boundaries. The right to divide is actually one of the most powerful forms of liberty there is, and it is one of the greatest protections against authoritarian movements in our midst."
Brandon Smith
"The masses have never thirsted after truth. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim."
Gustave Le Bon
"Clearly, the vaccination drive was a huge mistake, or an intentional population control operation. But now that it is known that there is more danger in the vaccine than in the virus, all vaccination should be stopped.
Censorship of renowned medical experts must stop so that we can escape marketing propaganda and come to an understanding of the true situation.
Covid was not deadly except for untreated persons with comorbidities. The current variant, Omicron, appears to be milder than the common cold, and as the vaccine does not protect against either, its use is completely irresponsible. Humanity will be paying the cost of the mRNA vaccines for decades to come."
Paul Craig Roberts
