- Our Lost America - A Collection Of Quotes
-
-
- From Binjamin Herzel 6-29-6
-
- Dear Mr. Rense,
-
- With great sorrow, at the age of 82,
I have seen our America descend spiritually, socially and economically
into nothing - a nation now despised worldwide. As a Jew who is familiar
with The Harold Wallace Rosenthal Interview (1), and The Protocols Of The
Learned Elders Of Zion (2), I was hoping our Jewish community would divorce
itself from the Zionists who highjacked our religion years ago and uses
it as a shield to operate behind. Unfortunately, now it's too late, we
are heading towards WW3 and probable annihilation of our 'civilization.'
-
- I am not very proficient at writing,
so I am enclosing a small collection of quotes, to illustrate to the younger
generation what a beautiful America we used to have.
-
- Very respectfully,
-

- Albert Einstein
- The ruling class has the schools and
press under its thumb. This enables it to sway the emotions of the masses.
-
- John F. Hylan
- The real menace of our Republic is the
invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs
over our cities states and nation. At the head is a small group of banking
houses generally referred to as 'international bankers.' This little coterie...
run our government for their own selfish ends. It operates under cover
of a self-created screen...[and] seizes...our executive officers... legislative
bodies... schools... courts... newspapers and every agency created for
the public protection.

- John Adams
- Remember, democracy never lasts long.
It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy
yet that did not commit suicide.
-
- Marcus Tullius Cicero
- A nation can survive its fools, and even
the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the
gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.
But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers
rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government
itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar
to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals
to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul
of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the
pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer
resist. A murder is less to fear.

- American Mercury Magazine
- The invisible Money Power is working
to control and enslave mankind. It financed Communism, Fascism, Marxism,
Zionism and Socialism. All of these are directed to making the United States
a member of World Government.
-
- Justice Hugo L. Black
- The Press was protected so that it could
bare the secrets of the government and inform the people. Only a free and
unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government. And
paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent
any part of the government from deceiving the people.
-
- Justice Felix Frankfurter
- The real rulers in Washington are invisible
and exercise power from behind the scenes
-
- Samuel Adams
- If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake,
should in terms renounce or give up any natural right, the eternal law
of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation.
The right to freedom being the gift of Almighty God, it is not in the power
of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave.
-
- Charles A. Lindbergh
- This Act (the Federal Reserve Act, Dec.
23rd 1913) establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President
(Woodrow Wilson) signs the Bill, the invisible government of the Monetary
Power will be legalised... The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated
by this banking and currency Bill.
-
- James Madison
- History records that the money changers
have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible
to maintain their control over governments by controlling the money and
its issuance.
-
- Maxwell Anderson
- When a government takes over a people's
economic life it becomes absolute, and when it has become absolute it destroys
the arts, the minds, the liberties and the meaning of the people it governs.
-
- Mayer Amschel Rothschild
- Give me control of a nation's money and
I care not who makes the laws.
-
- Spiro Agnew
- The American people should be made aware
of the trend toward monopolization of the great public information vehicles
and the concentration of more and more power over public opinion in fewer
and fewer hands.
-
- Thomas Jefferson
- If the American people ever allow private
banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then
by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them
(around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their
children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
-
- Donald Alexander
- We now have so many regulations that
everyone is guilty of some violation.
-
- Alan Barth
- The notion that the church, the press,
and the universities should serve the state is essentially a Communist
notion. In a free society these institutions must be wholly free
which is to say that their function is to serve as checks upon the state.
-
- Lord Acton
- Power tends to corrupt, and absolute
power corrupts absolutely.
-
- Gaius Julius Caesar
- Beware of the leader, who strikes the
war drum in order to transfer the citizens into patriotic glow, patriotism
is indeed a double-sided sword. It makes the blood so boldly, like it constricts
the intellect. And if the striking of the war drum reached a fiebrige height
and the blood is cooking and hating, and the intellect is dismissed, the
leader doesn't need to reject the citizens rights. The citizens, cought
by anxiety and blinded through patriotism, will subordinate all their rights
to the leader and this even with happy courage. Why do I know that? I know
it, because this is, what I did. And I am Gajus Julius Cäsar.
-
- Franklin D. 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.
-
- Niccolo Machiavelli
- Thus it happens in matters of state;
for knowing afar off (which it is only given a prudent man to do) the evils
that are brewing, they are easily cured. But when, for want of such knowledge,
they are allowed to grow so that everyone can recognize them, there is
no longer any remedy to be found.
-
- Sir Winston Churchill
- The best argument against democracy is
a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
-
- Napoleon Bonaparte
- When a government is dependent upon bankers
for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation,
since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland;
financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object
is gain.
-
- Louis Freeh
- Ask the American public if they want
an FBI wiretap and they'll say, "no." If you ask them do they
want a feature on their phone that helps the FBI find their missing child
they'll say, "Yes."
-
- Henry Brooks Adams
- Politics, as a practise, whatever its
professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.
-
- H. L. Birum, Sr.
- The Federal Reserve Bank is nothing but
a banking fraud and an unlawful crime against civilization. Why? Because
they "create" the money made out of nothing, and our Uncle Sap
Government issues their "Federal Reserve Notes" and stamps our
Government approval with NO obligation whatever from these Federal Reserve
Banks, Individual Banks or National Banks, etc.
-
- Josh Billings
- The trouble with most folks isn't so
much their ignorance, as knowing so many things that ain't so.
-
- Edmund Burke
- To govern according to the sense and
agreement of the interests of the people is a great and glorious object
of governance. This object cannot be obtained but through the medium of
popular election, and popular election is a mighty evil.
-
- Henry Ford
- It is well enough that people of the
nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did,
I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.
-
- Thomas Jefferson
- If a nation expects to be ignorant and
free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will
be.
-
- Alexander Hamilton
- The President of the United States would
be liable to be impeached, tried, and upon conviction of treason, bribery,
or other high crimes and misdemeanors, removed from office; and would afterwards
be liable to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law.
-
- Grace Commission
- 100% of what is collected is absorbed
solely by interest on the Federal Debt ... all individual income tax revenues
are gone before one nickel is spent on the services taxpayers expect from
government.
-
- Robert A. Heinlein
- Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
-
- Andrew Carnegie
- I choose free libraries as the best agencies
for improving the masses of the people, because they give nothing for nothing.
They only help those who help themselves. They never pauperize. They reach
the aspiring and open to these chief treasures of the world -- those stored
up in books. A taste for reading drives out lower tastes.
-
- William Lyon Mackenzie King
- Once a nation parts with the control
of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nations laws.
Usury, once in control, will wreck any nation. Until the control of the
issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as
its most sacred responsibility, all talk of the sovereignty of parliament
and of democracy is idle and futile.
-
- Lord Acton
- Everything secret degenerates, even the
administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can
bear discussion and publicity.
-
- Samuel Adams
- A general dissolution of the principles
and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the
whole force of the common enemy.... While the people are virtuous they
cannot be subdued; but once they lose their virtue, they will be ready
to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader....
If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never
be enslaved. This will be their great security.
-
- Alan Greenspan
- In the absence of the gold standard,
there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation.
... This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against
gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth.
Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector
of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding
the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard.
-
- Lyn Nofziger
- These things I believe: That government
should butt out. That freedom is our most precious commodity and if we
are not eternally vigilant, government will take it all away. That individual
freedom demands individual responsibility. That government is not a necessary
good but an unavoidable evil. That the executive branch has grown too strong,
the judicial branch too arrogant and the legislative branch too stupid.
That political parties have become close to meaningless. That government
should work to insure the rights of the individual, not plot to take them
away. That government should provide for the national defense and work
to insure domestic tranquillity. That foreign trade should be fair rather
than free. That America should be wary of foreign entanglements. That the
tree of liberty needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants. That guns do more than protect us from criminals;
more importantly, they protect us from the ongoing threat of government.
That states are the bulwark of our freedom. That states should have the
right to secede from the Union. That once a year we should hang someone
in government as an example to his fellows.
-
- Charles-Louis De Secondat
- There is no crueler tyranny than that
which is perpetrated under the shield of law and in the name of justice.
-
- James Madison
- The strongest passions and most dangerous
weaknesses of the human breast; ambition, avarice, vanity, the honorable
or venal love of fame, are all in conspiracy against the desire and duty
of peace.
-
- Major L. L. B. Angus
- The modern Banking system manufactures
money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece
of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banks can in fact inflate, mint
and unmint the modern ledger-entry currency.
-
- Edmund Burke
- Tell me what are the prevailing sentiments
that occupy the minds of your young peoples, and I will tell you what is
to be the character of the next generation.
-
- Justice Louis D. Brandeis
- Crime is contagious. If the government
becomes a law breaker, it breeds contempt for the law.
-
- Charles-Louis De Secondat
- The deterioration of every government
begins with the decay of the principles on which it was founded.
-
- Robert A. Heinlein
- In a society in which it is a moral offense
to be different from your neighbor your only escape is to never let them
find out.
-
- Justice Louis D. Brandeis
- The government is the potent omnipresent
teacher. For good or ill it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime
is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt
for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites
anarchy. To declare that the end justifies the means -- to declare that
the government may commit crimes -- would bring terrible retribution.
-
- Buddha
- Believe nothing merely because you have
been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of
respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis,
you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of
all beings -- that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.
-
- Justice Robert H. Jackson
- I cannot say that our country could have
no secret police without becoming totalitarian, but I can say with great
conviction that it cannot become totalitarian without a centralized national
police.
-
- John Adams
- Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves
to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy,
or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names
for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice.
-
- Bertrand Barere de Vieuzac
- The tree of liberty only grows when watered
by the blood of tyrants.
-
- Lyndon B. Johnson
- Every man should know that his conversations,
his correspondence, and his personal life are private.
-
- Justice Louis D. Brandeis
- Experience should teach us to be most
on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent.
Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty
by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious
encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.
-
- Samuel Adams
- The liberties of our country, the freedom
of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is
our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a
fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us
with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted
them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of
infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer
them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated
out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.
-
- Lyn Nofziger
- One of the things that bothers me most
is the growing belief in the country that security is more important than
freedom. It ain't.
-
- Frank Dane
- Get all the fools on your side and you
can be elected to anything.
-
- Lord Acton
- The issue which has swept down the centuries
and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the
banks.
-
- Samuel Adams
- How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant
pervert the plain Meaning of Words!
-
- Thomas Jefferson
- Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic.
But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the
memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the path of
destruction.
-
- W. Lance Bennett
- Perhaps the most obvious political effect
of controlled news is the advantage it gives powerful people in getting
their issues on the political agenda and defining those issues in ways
likely to influence their resolution.
-
- Vance Packard
- The most common characteristic of all
police states is intimidation by surveillance. Citizens know they are being
watched and overheard. Their mail is being examined. Their homes can be
invaded.
-
- Maxwell Anderson
- When a government takes over a people's
economic life it becomes absolute, and when it has become absolute it destroys
the arts, the minds, the liberties and the meaning of the people it governs.
-
- Kort E. Patterson
- According to Gestapo recordsthey had
little need to engage in direct spying on the citizens since the citizens
themselves were more than willing to do their spying for them.
-
- Samuel Adams
- If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake,
should in terms renounce or give up any natural right, the eternal law
of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation.
The right to freedom being the gift of Almighty God, it is not in the power
of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave.
-
- Carroll Quigley
- The powers of financial capitalism had
(a) far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial
control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each
country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be
controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting
in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences.
The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements
in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's
central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central
bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury
loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic
activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent
economic rewards in the business world.
-
- Clint Eastwood
- At Waco, was there really an urgency
to get those people out of the compound at that particular time? Was the
press going to make it look heroic for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
and Firearms? At Ruby Ridge, there was one guy in a cabin at the top of
the mountain. Was it necessary for federal agents to go up there and shoot
a 14-year-old in the back and shoot a woman with a child in her arms? What
kind of mentality does that?
