We just might be needing this,
When you find a quote from the past of interest post it here.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
--Theodore Roosevelt, 1912

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear." --Harry S Truman
The article is reproduced in accordance with Section 107 of title 17 of the Copyright Law of the United States.

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit.We are no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -- Woodrow Wilson 1919

Fore warned:
"If the American people ever allow private banks (the Federal Reserve Banks) to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.." --Thomas Jefferson


The Law, which still stands, stated:
Individual states are "not allowed to make any things but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts." The Constitution also stated: "Congress has the power to COIN money and regulate the value thereof."
--Article I Section 10 of the Constitution

Notice that it states the word "coin"
and not "print paper currency."

Our Founding Fathers knew how a central bank printing paper money would collapse our economy.


"And to preserve their independence,
we must not let our rulers [leaders] load us with perpetual debt."
--Thomas Jefferson


"Until we realize that our money power is our sovereign power we cannot act as sovereigns"
--E.C. Riegel.


"Gold will always remain the ultimate form of payment in the world."
--Alan Greenspan, Testimony before US House
Banking Committee, May 1999.

This mindset,
"…in the communist ideology … education is tied directly to jobs — control of the job being the critical control point in an authoritarian state."
--Eugene Maxwell Boyce, Professor of Educational Administration at the University of Georgia, The Coming Revolution in Education, 1983.
or this,
"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty." --Thomas Jefferson

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget ye were our countrymen."-- Samuel Adams

"Every act of resistance makes tyranny weaker. Many, many acts of resistance, even small ones, can topple it. I don’t wish suffering on myself or anyone else, but I am proud of people who have stood up for truth and justice when it was dangerous to do so. And I’ll be proud to BE one of those people, no matter what happens to me." --Tessa David Rose (Wife of Larken Rose)

Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a Citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the Citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one’s self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all." --Michael Rivero

Truth, :D

"Cowardice asks the question: is it safe? Expediency asks the question: is it political? Vanity asks the question: is it popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular - but one must take it simply because it is right." --Martin Luther King, Jr.
