did you know that 90% of the world's opium
comes from Afghanistan ...
The war in Afghanistan — the war that President-elect Barack Obama pledged to fight and win — has become an aimless absurdity. It began with a specific target. Afghanistan was where Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda lived, harbored by the Islamic extremist Taliban government. But the enemy escaped into Pakistan, and for the past seven years, Afghanistan has been a slow bleed against an array of mostly indigenous narco-jihadi-tribal guerrilla forces that we continue to call the "Taliban." These ragtag bands are funded by opium profits and led by assorted religious extremists and druglords, many of whom have safe havens in Pakistan. Time- The Aimless War: Why are We in Afghanistan? ...
Whenever any form of government
becomes destructive of these ends
[life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness]
it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it
and to institute new government. Thomas Jefferson,
Declaration of Independence
A man who has never gone to school
may steal from a freight car;
but if he has a university education,
he may steal the whole railroad. Theodore Roosevelt
The real truth of the matter is,
as you and I know,
that a financial
element in the large centers
has owned the government of the U.S.
since
the days of Andrew Jackson Theodore Roosevelt
George Carlin Speaks out
on The Real Owners of This Country
Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin.
The Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them,
but leave them the power to create deposits,
and with the flick of the pen
they will create enough deposits to buy it back again.
However, take it away from them,
and all the great fortunes like mine
will disappear and they ought to disappear,
for this would be a happier and better world to live in.
But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers
and pay the cost of your own slavery,
let them continue to create deposits."

Learned Institutions ought to be
favorite objects
with every free people.
They throw that light over the public mind
which is the best security
against crafty and dangerous
encroachments
on the public liberty.
James Madison
John F. Kennedy,
when describing a dinner
for Nobel Prize winners in 1962:
"... probably the greatest concentration
of talent and genius in this house,
except for perhaps
those times
when Thomas Jefferson ate alone."
Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.
Thomas Jefferson's Motton on His Seal
Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty,
but also by the abuse of power.
James Madison
The strictest law sometimes
becomes the severest injustice.
Benjamin Franklin
Laws alone cannot secure freedom of expression;
in order that every man present his views
without penalty
there must be spirit
of tolerance in the entire population. Albert Einstein
It will be of little avail to the people
that the laws are made by men
of their own choice
if the laws be so voluminous
that they cannot be read,
or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
James Madison
The spirit of resistance to government
is so valuable
on certain occasions
I wish it always to be kept alive.
Thomas Jefferson
When persons, companies or organizations
choose
to externally operate
within the confines of institutionalized injustices,
no matter their internal reluctance or opposition,
their stand not only supports the injustice,
but it spreads the web of injustice even further.
Christina Nevada
The will of the people
is the only legitimate foundation
of any government,
and to protect its free expression
should be our first object.
Thomas Jefferson
An honest man can feel no pleasure
in the exercise of power over fellow citizens. Thomas Jefferson
My heroes had the heart
to lose their lives out on a limb.
And all I remember is thinking, I wanna be like them.
Gnarles Barkley
You need to know
that a member of Congress
who refuses to allow the minimum wage
to come up for a vote
made more money during last year's
one-month government shutdown
than a minimum wage worker
makes in an entire year. William Jefferson Clinton
I believe that banking institutions
are more dangerous
to our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow private banks
to control the issue of their currency,
first by inflation, then by deflation,
the banks and corporations
that will grow up around [the banks]
will deprive the people of all property
until their children wake-up
homeless
on the continent their fathers conquered.
The issuing power should be taken from the banks
and restored to the people,
to whom it properly belongs.
Thomas Jefferson
Democracy...
while it lasts
is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy.
Remember, democracy never lasts long.
It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself.
There is never a democracy
that did not commit suicide.
John Adams Democracy becomes a government of bullies
tempered by editors. Ralph Waldo Emerson
A pure democracy is a society
consisting of a small number of citizens,
who assemble and administer
the government in person. James Madison
If liberty and equality, as is thought by some
are chiefly to be found in democracy,
they will be best attained when all persons alike
share in the government to the utmost.
Aristotle Such democracies
have ever been
spectacles of turbulence and contention;
have ever been found incompatible
with personal security
or the rights of property;
and have in general been as short in their lives
as they have been violent in their deaths.
James Madison
Many forms of Government have been tried,
and will be tried in this world of sin and woe.
No one pretends that democracy
is perfect or all-wise.
Indeed, it has been said that democracy
is the worst form of government
except all those other forms
that have been tried from time to time.
Sir Winston Churchill
The will of the people makes up the government.
No matter the notion of inability
to bring about change,
conformance speaks for itself. Christina Nevada I am a firm believer in the people.
If given the truth,
they can be
depended upon to meet any national crises.
The great point is to bring them the real facts. Abraham Lincoln
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal,
or no weapon in the arsenals of the world,
is so formidable as the will and moral courage
of free men and women.
It is a weapon our adversaries
in today's world do not have. Ronald Regan
Freedom is never more than one generation
away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected,
and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will
spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like
in the United States
where men were free.
Ronald Reagan
Yesterday the greatest question was decided
which ever was debated in America;
and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be,
decided among men.
A resolution was passed
without one dissenting colony,
''that these United Colonies are,
and of right ought to be,
free and independent States.''
John Adams
The man who reads nothing at all
is better educated
than the man who reads nothing but newspapers. Thomas Jefferson Speaking about Libertarian
and Economic Nobel Prize Winner Milton Friedman, "There are very few people over the generations
who have ideas
that are sufficiently original
to materially alter the direction of civilization.
Milton is one of those very few people.
Friedman advocated
minimizing the role of government
in a free market as a means of creating
political and social freedom." Alan Greenspan
A nation that continues year after year
to spend more money
on military defense
than on programs of social uplift
is approaching spiritual death.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
US Military Sends Executively Immature Brains to War
Minimum age for US Military is 17 w/ parental consent & 18 w/out; but, it's physiologically impossible to mature until your 20's. Kids under 21 aren't developed enough in cognitive & executive decision-making parts of the brain to decide if they should enlist; and, when in battle, they lack mental ability to make decisions. See: Frontal_lobe and NIH fact sheet.
Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises
are responsible for almost all
the economic growth in the United States.
Ronald Regan Let me not be understood as saying
that there are no bad laws,
nor that grievances may not arise for the redress
of which no legal provisions have been made.
I mean to say no such thing.
But I do mean to say that
although bad laws,
if they exist, should be repealed
as soon as possible,
still, while they continue in force,
for the sake of example
they should be religiously observed. Abraham Lincoln
Whenever a man’s sense of patriotic duty
is unchanged by the slaughter
of innocent men, women and children
and the loss of his own liberty,
there has been a death of moral conscience
and an unconscious transformation
from allegiance into slavery. Christina Nevada
Nonviolence is the answer
to the crucial political
and moral questions
of our time;
the need for mankind
to overcome oppression and violence
without resorting to oppression and violence.
Mankind must evolve for all human conflict
a method which rejects revenge,
aggression, and retaliation.
The foundation of such a method is love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Any society that would give up a little liberty
to gain a little security
will deserve neither and lose both." Benjamin Franklin
"When the people fear their government
there is tyranny;
when the government fears the people,
there is liberty." Thomas Jefferson
I see in the near future
a crisis approaching that unnerves me
and causes me to tremble
for the safety of my country.
As a result of the war,
corporations have been enthroned
and an era of corruption in high places will follow,
and the money power of the country
will endeavor to prolong its reign
by working upon the prejudices
of the people until all wealth
is aggregated in a few hands
and the Republic is destroyed.
I feel at this moment more anxiety
for the safety of my country
than ever before, even in the midst of war.
God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless.
Abraham Lincoln
"In a time of universal deceit,
telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell
Christians believe that Jesus will return
and that before His return there will be an anti-Christ
and before the anti-Christ takes power
there will be a one world order.
Some call that one world order the Illuminati.
Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. Theodore Roosevelt
