Politics (quotes)
Quotes

 'Left wing' and 'right wing' are elements of one organism, which is the vulture that we could call 'the world order.'  That's why Rush Limbaugh and Dennis Miller, whom listeners are programmed to assume are in opposition,  both advocate the same thing: increasing the power of centralized national government.  See how it works? ---Don Croft

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.  ---Aesop
“Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.”----H.L. Mencken
“The purpose of government is to reign in the rights of the people”----Bill Clinton during an interview on MTV in 1993

"Our rulers make the news, but they do not appear in the news, not as they really are-not as a political class, a governing establishment, a body of leaders with great and pervasive powers, with deep, often dark, ambitions. In the American republic the fact of oligarchy is the most dreaded knowledge of all, and our news keeps that knowledge from us. By their subjugation of the press, the political powers in America have conferred on themselves the greatest of political blessings-Gyges' ring of invisibility. And they have left the American people more deeply baffled by their own country's politics than any people on earth. Our public realm lies steeped in twilight, and we call that twilight news." ------Walter Karp

Most Americans, who have not been the victims of such overt hate campaigns as have been waged against me for more than thirty years, refuse to believe that we are governed by criminals. I refer you to the opinion of one of the most famous FBI agents, Charlie Winstead, the man who gunned down John Dillinger. In his book, "The Bureau", William C. Sullivan quotes Charlie Winstead as saying, (P.27),
    "When I investigate a man and prove he's a criminal, if he doesn't already work for the government, they'll hire him. If he already has a government job, once they hear he's a crook they'll promote him. The criminals in Congress only feel comfortable with other criminals."
    We could not ask for a more qualified source, nor for a more apropos phrase than "the criminals in Congress." The criminals enact into law program after program to reward their fellow-criminals, and to rob and enslave the workers of America. Anyone who gets in their way is disposed of by the "majesty of the law." I would have been condemned to spend the rest of my life in an insane asylum by due process of law. All the legal niceties would have been observed. A WRIT FOR MARTYRS by Eustace Mullins

Our political life is a grotesque carnival designed to convince the rubes they live in a democracy. This is so they will pay taxes and lay down their lives for their betters.
     Our rulers have determined that we shall have no real say in our collective future. Like livestock, we will chew our collective cud on sex, drugs, toys and trivia, which they will supply in abundance.
     This explains why the mass media (incl. movies) and education long ago ceased to deal in reality, or teach civics or history. Instead they are purveyors of deception and conformity. The US election is really a job competition where a shortlist of candidates vie for the privilege of deceiving the public and implementing the banker agenda. [Aug 2008] I'm NOT on the Putin Bandwagon by Henry Makow

They are longing for a war with Iran. Iran is no more a harm to us than was Iraq or Afghanistan. They invented an enemy, they tell lies, lies, lies. The New York Times goes along with their lies, lies, lies. And they don't stop. When the public that's lied to 30 times a day it's apt to believe the lies, is not it?---Gore Vidal

"The enormous gap between what US leaders do in the world and what Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda accomplishments of the dominant political mythology."
Michael Parenti (1933-), political scientist, author

"Crime does not pay … as well as politics. " --Alfred E. Newman

"Politics is a means of preventing people from taking part in what properly concerns them." Paul Valery (1871-1945)

"Nothing ever happens in politics by accident. If it happens, it was planned that way" - FDR

"Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under." -H. L. Mencken

Please note: InformationLiberation is neither liberal or conservative. When one takes the time to research the "liberal elite," whom the conservatives oppose, and the "conservative elite," whom the liberals oppose, one finds both "elite" are one and the same. "Liberal" or "Conservative" is not a substantive choice, it is only the carefully crafted illusion of a choice, for both parties come together when they are instructed to.

War is merely the act of destroying the creditor, and the politicians are the publicly hired hit men that justify the act to keep the responsibility and blood off the public conscience. Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars

"The planet is being controlled, to an alarming extent, by elites, or, as I call them, cartels.  There are many cartels, but 7 are the most powerful.  They evolve, they learn from one another, they both compete and cooperate.  Unfortunately, the trend is more towards cooperation. These 7 cartels represent the following areas:   GOVERNMENT, MILITARY, INTELLIGENCE, ENERGY, MONEY, MEDIA, AND MEDICAL.....I came to this map of cartels through my own research on the medical monopoly.  That's where it started, in 1986.  .. Once you understand these cartel elites, you can begin to separate out information into loose layers of importance, as in, which layer of the control game are we talking about?  Because it's all about layers.  And at most layers, the players are forwarding agendas which they do not realize fit into higher and more destructive agendas."--Jon Rappoport

"The constitution has broken down.  We have no enemies except the ones we select and direct towards the nearest nuclear bombs.  They need an enemy to provoke, a diversion.  This is the mentality of tenth-rate people who are in politics because corporate America likes them.  They are malleable.  They give them contracts to build missile shields that will never work.  It's deeply corrupt."--Gore Vidal (Observer magazine 12 Aug 2001)

"It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea."--Robert Anton Wilson

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate. " ---Noam Chomsky

"He knows nothing; and he thinks he knows everything.  That points clearly to a political career."--George Bernard Shaw.

"Democracy allows mediocrity to rise to the top."

"Politicians are the same all over: they promise to build a bridge even where there is no river."-- Nikita Khrushchev (1960)

There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power
to crack down on criminals. When there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.
One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to
live without breaking laws.
- Ayn Rand

Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to
describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning
'many' and 'tics' meaning "habitual uncontrollable
purposeless gestures."

“In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.”
-Confucius

“The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.”
-Tacitus

“The more laws that are written, the more criminals are produced.”
-Lao-Tse, Tao Te Ching

“In general the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to the other.”

“Fear is the foundation of most governments.”
