"Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenarios, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government."--Henry Kissinger in an address to the Bilderberg organization meeting at Evian, France, May 21, 1992. Transcribed from a tape recording made by one of the Swiss delegates.
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years." He went on to explain: "It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years.But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."
--David Rockefeller speaking at the June 1991 Bilderberger meeting in Baden Baden, Germany (a meeting also attended by then Governor Bill Clinton and Dan Quayle).
"The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining super-capitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent."-- 1976, by Representative Larry P. McDonald. (D), 7th District, Georgia.
[Webmaster's link about the disappearance of Lawrence ("Larry") Patton McDonald below. Could he have been eliminated because he knew too much and was making waves? "This is America, that can't happen here."]
On September 1, 1983, Korean Air Lines flight 007, on its way from Anchorage, Alaska to Seoul, Korea, carrying 269 passengers and crew, strayed off its intended course and entered into Soviet airspace. A Soviet Sukhoi 15 fighter jet, piloted by Major Gennadie Osipovich, was sent up to destroy the intruding Boeing 747.
This, at the height of the Cold War era, was a major international incident. At the time, it was - and still is - widely believed that the plane "exploded", "plummeted uncontrollably" into the ocean, and was "destroyed," killing all aboard, including Lawrence ("Larry") Patton McDonald, Representative (D), 7th District, Georgia.
The evidence, however, tells another story. Japanese radar trackings, Soviet ground-to-ground and ground-to-air communications, KAL 007's flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder, the debris (and lack thereof), eye-witness testimonies... All these and more, when pieced together, tell of a plane which was, indeed, damaged, but which managed to land safely, and of passengers who survived and were rescued by the Russians -- only to be imprisoned to this day. What really happened to Korean Air Lines flight 007?
"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does NOT mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."--Theodore Roosevelt
"If there is anything which it is the duty of the whole people to never entrust to any hands but their own - that thing is the preservation of their own liberties and institutions."--Abraham Lincoln
"..the spirit of the times may alter, will alter. Our rulers will become corrupt, our people careless. A single zealot may commence persecutor, and better men be his victims. It can never be too often repeated, that the time for fixing every essential right on a legal basis is while our rulers are honest, and ourselves united. For the conclusion of this war [for Independence] we shall be going down hill. It will not then be necessary to resort every moment to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting to effect a due respect for their rights. The shackles, therefore, which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion of this war, will remain on us long, will be made heavier and heavier, till our rights shall revive or expire in a convulsion."--Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1791
"1935 will go down in history! For the first time a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead in the future!"--Adolf Hitler
"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. you cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of many by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."--Abraham Lincoln
Americans are so enamored of equality they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.--Alexis de Tocqueville
"Government is not reason: It is not eloquence, it is Force, like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."--George Washington
"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing!"--Edmund Burke
"Rights come from GOD not the state. You have rights antecedent to any earthly governments; rights that can not be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe."--John Adams, Second President of the United States

"It is the sacred principles enshrined in the UN Charter to which we will henceforth pledge our allegiance."--George Bush addressing the world leaders at the UN.
"Without seeking, truth cannot be known at all. It can neither be declared from pulpits, nor set down in articles, nor in any wise prepared and sold in packages ready for use. Truth must be ground for every man by itself out of it such, with such help as he can get, indeed, but not without stern labor of his own."--John Ruskin
"The liberty which a citizen employs is to be measured, not by the nature of the governmental machinery he lives under, whether representative or other, but by the relative paucity of the restraints it imposes on him; and that, whether this machinery is or is not one he shared in making, its actions are not of the kind proper to Liberalism if they increase such restraints beyond those which are needful for preventing him from directly or indirectly aggressing on his fellows---needful, that is, for maintaining the liberties of his fellows against his invasions of them; restraints which are, therefore, to be distinguished as negatively coercive, nor positively coercive...."--Herbert Spencer
"I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That 'all powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people'. To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition. The incorporation of a bank, and the powers assumed by this bill, have not, in my opinion, been delegated to the United States, by the Constitution."--Thomas Jefferson Opinion on the Constitutionality of a national bank February 15, 1791
"He that is good, will infallibly become better, and he that is bad, will as certainly become worse; for vice, virtue and time are three things that never stand still."--Charles Caleb Colon
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world, but the unreasonable man tries to adapt to the world to him--therefore, all progress depends upon the unreasonable man."--Samuel Butler
The liberty which a citizen employs is to be measured, not by the nature of the governmental machinery he lives under, whether representative or other, but by the relative paucity of the restraints it imposes on him; and that, whether this machinery is or is not one he shared in making, its actions are not of the kind proper to Liberalism if they increase such restraints beyond those which ar needful for preventing him from directly or indirectly aggressing on his fellows---needful, that is, for maintaining the liberties of his fellows against his invasions of them: restraints which are, therefore, to be distinguished as negatively coercive, not positively coercive.....--Herbert Spencer
"The hardest tumble a man can make is to fall over his own bluff."--Ambrose Bierce

"Prejudice, which sees what it pleases, cannot see what is plain."--Aubrey T. DeVera
"A prejudice is a vagrant opinion without any visible means of support."--Ambrose Bierce

"A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle."--General William Curtis
"To see what is right, and not do it, is want of courage, or of principle."--Confucius

"We ain't what we ought to be. We ain't what we could be. We ain't what we gonna be, but thank God we ain't what we were."--Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"If we run into such [government] debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-suffers."--Thomas Jefferson
"The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debase the currency."--Nikolai Lenin
"There is no subtler, or surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debase the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which only one man in a million is able to diagnose."--John Maynard Keynes
"In transactions of trade it is not to be supposed that, as in gaming, what one party gains the other must necessarily lose. The gain to each may be equal. If A has more corn than he can consume, but wants cattle; and B has more cattle, but wants corn; exchange is gain to each; thereby the common stock of comforts in life is increased."--Benjamin Franklin
"The statesman who should attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals would not only load himself with a most unnecessary attention, but assume an authority which could safely be trusted, not only to no single person, but to no council or senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it."-- Adam Smith
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual."--Thomas Jefferson
"America is great because America is good. When America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."--Alexis de Tocqueville
"Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others?"--Thomas Jefferson
"It is strangely absurd to suppose that a million human beings collected together are not under the same moral laws which bind each of them separately."--Thomas Jefferson
"There are severe limits to the good that the government can do for the economy, but there are almost no limits to the harm it can do."--Milton Friedman, Nobel Laureate
"Never blame a legislative body for not doing something. When they do nothing, they don't hurt anybody. When they do something they can be dangerous."--Will Rogers
"Ever time government attempts to handle our affairs, it costs more and the results are worse than if we had handled them ourselves."--Benjamin Constant, Brazilian statesman 1833-1891
