Lysander Spooner
“And yet we have what purports, or professes, or is claimed, to be a contract—the Constitution—made eighty years ago, by men who are now all dead, and who never had any power to bind us, but which (it is claimed) has nevertheless bound three generations of men, consisting of many millions, and which (it is claimed) will be binding upon all the millions that are to come; but which nobody ever signed, sealed, delivered, witnessed, or acknowledged; and which few persons, compared with the whole number that are claimed to be bound by it, have ever read, or even seen, or ever will read, or see.”
― Lysander Spooner January 19, 1808 – May 14, 1887, No Treason: The Constitution Of No Authority
“But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist.”
― Lysander Spooner, No Treason: The Constitution Of No Authority
“That no government, so called, can reasonably be trusted, or reasonably be supposed to have honest purposes in view, any longer than it depends wholly upon voluntary support.”
Howard Buffet, father of the revered Warren Buffet said:
I warn you that politicians of both parties will oppose the restoration of gold, although they may outwardly seemingly favor it, unless you are willing to surrender your children and your country to galloping inflation, war and slavery then this cause demands your support, for if human liberty is to survive in America, we must win the battle to restore honest money. There is no more important challenge facing us than this issue -- the restoration of your freedom to secure gold in exchange for the fruits of your labors.
"For Gaddafi, many speculate the real reason he was ousted was that he was planning an all-African currency for conducting trade. The same thing happened to him that happened to Saddam because the United States does not want any solid competing currency out there versus the dollar. Gaddafi was talking about a Gold Dinar." ~ Hugo Salinas Price (instead, the tyrant was found dead in a culvert pipe disemboweled, and his gold hoard was confiscated in London and Switzerland)

“Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.”
John Maynard Keynes penned these words after World War I (The Economic Consequences of the Peace);
Webster noted that “We have suffered more from this [un-redeemable paper money] than from every other cause or calamity. It has killed more men, pervaded and corrupted the choicest interests of our country more, and done more injustice than even the arms and artifices of our enemy.”
"Since outright slavery has been discredited, democracy is the only remaining rationale for state compulsion that most people will accept." – Joseph Sobran
Tryon Edwards (1809–1894), theologian, editor, anthologist, biographer, and great-great-grandson of Jonathan Edwards
“Between two evils, choose neither; between two goods, choose both.”
“Credulity is belief in slight evidence, with no evidence, or against evidence.”
“Facts are God's arguments; we should be careful never to misunderstand or pervert them.”
“Most controversies would soon be ended, if those engaged in them would first accurately define their terms, and then adhere to their definitions.”
“Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past.”
“Sinful and forbidden pleasures are like poisoned bread; they may satisfy appetite for the moment, but there is death in them at the end.”
“The great end of education is to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers, rather than fill it with the accumulation of others.”
“To rejoice in another's prosperity is to give content to your lot; to mitigate another's grief is to alleviate or dispel your own.”
“We should be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep. The dead very often have more power than the living.”
“What we gave, we have; What we spent, we had; What we left, we lost.”

Daniel Webster: “Of all the contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effective than that which deludes them with paper money.”
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 money and its issuance.”
Frederic Bastiat: “It is impossible for society to render more services than it receives, and yet a belief to the contrary is the chimera which is being pursued by means of the multiplication of coins, of paper money, etc.”
Daniel Webster: “We are in danger of being overwhelmed with irredeemable paper, mere paper, representing not gold nor silver; no sir, representing nothing but broken promises, bad faith, bankrupt corporations, cheated creditors and a ruined people.”
John C. Calhoun, 1836: “A power has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many and various powerful interest, combined in one mass; and held together by the cohesive power of the vast surplus in banks.”
John F. Hylan, Mayor of N.Y., 1911: “…the real menace of our republic is the invisible government which, like a giant octopus, sprawls its slimy length over our city, state and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses, generally referred to as ‘international bankers.’”
Thomas Jefferson: “The trifling economy of paper, as a cheaper medium, or its convenience for transmission, weighs nothing in opposition to the advantages of the precious metals...it is liable to be abused, has been, is, and forever will be abused, in every country in which it is permitted.”
Louis T. McFadden, Chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee: “We have known in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks.”
History Mythbusters says:
Although atrocities of any scale cannot be excused, there is clearly a lot of disinformation regarding the German death camps, notably the 6 million figure. There is an interesting YouTube video in which a young Jewish man paid for the personal tour of Auschwitz with the express purpose of debunking the myths. He proved to be too much for his personal guide to handle and was passed up the chain of command, eventually ending up in the office of the current camp (museum) commandant. It is quite interesting to watch him squirm on camera as the young Jew asks a series of penetrating questions that expose the reality.
The 6 million figure is also debunked by the daily death reports that went out from the camps to the German high command. There is no apparent reason for these reports t be anything but accurate, because the Germans had no idea that the Allies had cracked their secrecy code.
On the other hand, the Allies themselves have unclean hands. For example, the bombing of Dresden matches the atrocity scale of the German concentration camps. Dresden was a hospital city, a refuge city with no industrial or military capability. Women, children and the disabled fled there because they believed it to be a safe refuge.
The Allies bombed it anyway with an incendiary type of bomb designed to create a giant firestorm. As hot air rose in the center of the conflagration it created hurricane force winds that sucked everything into the white-hot vortex A day or two later when rescue workers rushed in to assist any survivors, the Allied planes struck again, killing the rescuers. Incredibly a third wave came a day or two later repeating the deadly deception. This is total war on a scale that cannot be defended from Scripture.

Last, but not least, we must not forget that for at least a hundred years {1790-1890?} England had been incessantly exposed to the untiring machinations of the Jesuits. Ever since the Accession of Elizabeth {1548} those mischievous agents of Popery had been compassing sea and land to undo the work of the reformation, and to bring back our country to the thraldom of the Church of Rome.
Last, but not least, we must not forget that for at least
a hundred years {<-1662} England had been incessantly exposed to
the untiring machinations of the Jesuits. Ever since the
accession of Elizabeth {1548}, those mischievous agents of Popery
had been compassing sea and land to undo the work of
the Reformation, and to bring back our country to the
thraldom of the Church of Rome. Disguised in every
possible way, and professing anything by the Pope's
permission and dispensation, in order to accomplish their
end, these Jesuits throughout the days of the Stuarts
were incessantly at work. To set Churchmen against
Dissenters, Calvinists against Arminians, sect against sect,
party against party, and so to weaken the Protestant
cause, was their one constant employment. How much of
the bitter divisions between Churchmen and Nonconformists, how much of the religious strife which defiled
the early part of the seventeenth century is owing to the
Jesuits, I believe the last day alone will declare. Those
only who read "Panzani's Memoirs," or Dean Goode s " Rome s Tactics," can
have any idea of the mischief they did.
