Thoughts


From Bibi Netanyahu

The way to deal with Palestinians is to beat them up, not once but repeatedly, beat them up so badly, until it is unbearable.

From Jacob G . Hornberger

But as any psychiatrist will tell you, living the life of the lie and the life that denies reality does nothing but produce psychosis and dysfunctionality, which might help to explain why we live in a society characterized by mass killings, massive drug addiction, increasing suicide rates, anger and hatred, racism and bigotry, and all the other characteristics of a non-flourishing civil society.

All military geniuses love centralization, which increases their strength, and all centralizing geniuses love war, which obliges nations to concentrate all powers in the hands of the state.

The title of an article I came upon today sparked an image through my mind of an army of angels marching through these United States of America and touching every one of us with their magic wands and forever thus making each one of us deal with the actual real truth about ourselves and our wayward country instead of our " wishful illusions of decency, honor, equality, justice, etc. etc." !!

From Butler Shaffer

A society will remain as free or as enslaved as the conscious dispositions of individuals determine it shall be. Just as the roots of oppression are found in passivity, the foundations of our liberty reside in highly energized and focused minds that insist upon their independence. There are no shortcuts, no structures or doctrines that can be erected, no hallowed documents to be revered, to save us the effort of continually challenging those who would presume to exercise authority over our lives.

From Bettina Bien Greaves

To minimize conflicts in the future we should aim to create a world in which people are free to buy what they want, live and work where they choose, and invest and produce where conditions seem most propitious. There should be unlimited freedom for individuals to trade within and across national borders, widespread international division of labor, and worldwide economic interdependence. Would-be traders should encounter no restrictions or barriers to trade, enacted out of a misguided belief in economic nationalism and the supposed advantages of economic self-sufficiency. Friendships among individuals living in different parts of the world would then be reinforced daily through the benefits they reap from buying and selling with one another. Thus a sound basis for peaceful international relations would be encouraged.

From John Patric

A person should seek to reduce, by whatever peaceful means his ingenuity may devise, the power of government - any government - to tell him what to do.

From Ms Ella Baker

Until the killing of black men, black mothers sons, becomes as important to the rest of the country as the killing of a white mothers sons, we who believe in freedom cannot rest.

From Congressman Ron Dellums

"If you define nigger as someone whose lifestyle is defined by others, whose opportunities are defined by others, whose role in society is defined by others, the good news is that you do not have to be black to be a nigger in this society. Most of the people in the United States of America are niggers."

Neither a plethora of education nor a complete lack of a basic formal education can be used to determine an individuals common sense, an individuals biases, or even a basic understanding of themselves and humanity!!

How many human beings are aware of their own ongoing hypocrisy in the beliefs that they expound high and low during their lives that contradict the way that they act?? 

President Obama kills innocent people the world over and yet he was given the Nobel Prize For Peace!!
United States President Donald Trump is really what this country is all about!! Just an almighty ongoing charade!!
