From Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Believing China wants to take over your country so it can have control over a bunch of random white people is as dumb and egocentric as believing space aliens would fly across the galaxy to stick probes in your butt.

Since the dawn of history the true purpose of religion has been to shape societies, dominate civilizations and build entire empires, whether that religion is called "Christianity", "Islam", or "economics".

From Dean Alfange
I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon - if I can. I seek opportunity - not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations, and to face the world boldly and say, this I have done.

From Omar Bradley Address on Armistice Day [1948]
The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.

From Anatole France
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe.

From Ms Caitlin Johnstone
Billionaires are not good stewards of society. They are not kind. They are not wise. They are not even really smart. They just figured out how to diddle narratives and numbers in a way that funnels them money and power. They are empty parasitic middle-men, and they are conmen.
I mean, look who is president of the United States right now. Look who rose to the top of a capitalist system in the most powerful nation on earth. This is what you get. Imagine thinking that a system which elevates such a creature to the very top of the most powerful society can ever be of service to human health and harmony.

From Thomas Merton
We make ourselves real by telling the truth. Man can hardly forget that he needs to know the truth, for the instinct to know is too strong in us to be destroyed. But he can forget how badly he also needs to tell the truth. We cannot know truth unless we ourselves are conformed to it. We must be true inside, true to ourselves, before we can know a truth that is outside us. But we make ourselves true by manifesting the truth as we see it.

From Ms Caitlin Johnstone
People who believe China is responsible for the United States of Americas coronavirus problems are even dumber than people who believe Russia is responsible for Donald Trumps presidency.
The fact that mainstream news outlets consistently refuse to account for something as basic and indisputable as intelligence agencies being known liars should by itself fully discredit the entire institution of mass news reporting.

More From Ludwig von Mises!
It is important to remember that government interference always means either violent action or the threat of such action. The funds that a government spends for whatever purposes are levied by taxation. And taxes are paid because the taxpayers are afraid of offering resistance to the tax gatherers. They know that any disobedience or resistance is hopeless. As long as this is the state of affairs, the government is able to collect the money that it wants to spend. Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning. Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.

More Thoughts From Cousin Lucky!
Their titles are "public servant" and their "paychecks" are paid by some level of government be it city, county, state, or federal. The reality however is that these "public servants" are the "up front overseers" used by "the rich owners and the rich masters" to herd, corral, and brainwash the stupid taxpaying peons that make up the bulk of humanity. The United States government, in all its forms, has "vast armies" at its disposal to enact "tyranny" anywhere on this entire planet. Such "power" once achieved will never be given up; the owners and the masters would kill us all before they let that happen.

From Huey Long
They have got a set of Republican waiters on one side and a set of Democratic waiters on the other side, but no matter which set of waiters brings you the dish, the legislative grub is all prepared in the same Wall Street kitchen.

Yet More From Cousin Lucky
I can not remember the exact words from many, many years ago when a teacher told us: Each and every day your mind and reasoning are supposed to change the things that you look at regularly. As a child you might bend over and pull a flower from the ground and take it with you. Hopefully, sometime later in your life you would have grown and never do such a thing to anything on this planet that possessed life. If year in and year out everything looks the very same to you, you are stunted and stuck in a boring rut.

Ah, those raging male hormones that make you an asshole and manipulate you your whole life are surely a curse that you never really see until you get past middle age. Some males never leave their teenage hormones behind and have no control at all over them. It is the curse of mother nature that blinds every males reasoning ability. Mr. Joe Biden is just one example of male overreach of the " ownership syndrome ". He saw it so it belongs to him. Donald Trump and a lot of others have the very same problem; some males never get over or past it their whole lives!
