The condition of man is a condition of war of everyone against everyone. -Thomas Hobbes

"make love not war"

"Government science exists because it is a fine weapon to use, in order to force an agenda of control over the population. We are not talking about knowledge here. Knowledge is irrelevant. What counts is: "How can we fabricate something that looks like the truth?" I keep pointing this out: we are dealing with reality builders. In this case, they make their roads and fences and buildings out of data, and they massage and invent the data out of thin air to suit their purposes. After all, they also invent money out of thin air." -Jon Rappoport

Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. . . . [There is also an] inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and . . . degeneracy of manners and of morals. . . . No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. . . . James Madison, "Political Observations" [April 20, 1795]

" Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep. Do not... fsck with us. "

--Fight Club

Any person who does not clearly understand that national security and national solvency are mutually dependent, and that permanent maintenance of a crushing weight of military power would eventually create dictatorship, should not be entrusted with any kind of responsibility in our country. Dwight Eisenhower

I've never voted and never will, (no pun as humans makeup "will!")

Add: "We" promote war by making weapons cheep and life cheaper!

Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.-Gore Vidal

Growing federal power driven by legislation, validated by Supreme Court decisions, and accelerated by presidential ambition has eroded the rule of law in our nation, leaving almost no activity that the central government cannot at its discretion, regulate, manipulate, or prohibit. A constitutional counterrevolution has occurred in America, one so profound that few today can imagine Americans free of dependence on government.-Charlotte Twight, Dependent on DC [2002]

I think the Media has a lower approval rating than a colonoscopy at this point.-Genx at S.I.Live

Sara Goldfarb: I'm somebody now, Harry. Everybody likes me. Soon, millions of people will see me and they'll all like me. I'll tell them about you, and your father, how good he was to us. Remember? It's a reason to get up in the morning. It's a reason to lose weight, to fit in the red dress. It's a reason to smile. It makes tomorrow all right. What have I got Harry, hm? Why should I even make the bed, or wash the dishes? I do them, but why should I? I'm alone. Your father's gone, you're gone. I got no one to care for. What have I got, Harry? I'm lonely. I'm old.

Harry Goldfarb: YAttachment 19996u got friends, Ma.

Sara Goldfarb: Ah, it's not the same. They don't need me. I like the way I feel. I like thinking about the red dress and the television and you and your father. Now when I get the sun, I smile.

Successful geniuses of capital and enterprise like George Eastman are viewed with disdain by many in our midst. These critics are the losers, the envious, the demagogues, the class warriors, the power lusters, the people who are more eager to steal and redistribute what others create than to bake a bigger or better pie themselves. The Eastmans of the world, however, will go on bequeathing great gifts to humanity while their detractors, with a little luck, will be forgotten. Lawrence W. Reed, "The Man Who Made Your Selfies Possible" [October 30, 2015]
