"... political reporters love to write about politics as if they are merely disinterested observers of political events and the public's perceptions of them, when in fact they play a very key role in shaping those events and perceptions." |
"Every man – in the development of his own personality –
has the right to form his own beliefs and opinions.

a negation of man’s essential nature." |

"Truth: the most deadly weapon ever discovered by humanity.
Capable of destroying entire perceptual sets, cultures, and realities.
Outlawed by all governments everywhere.
Possession is normally punishable by death." |

"Liberty will not descend to a people,
a people must raise themselves to liberty;
it is a blessing that must be earned before it can be enjoyed." |
"The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall. ... Freedom and slavery are mental states. Therefore, the first thing to say to yourself: 'I shall no longer accept the role of a slave. I shall not obey orders as such but shall disobey them when they are in conflict with my conscience'." |

"A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying to others and to yourself." |
"Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it." |
"If it's a despot you would dethrone,
see first that his throne erected within you is destroyed." |

"Freedom of the press is perhaps the freedom that has suffered
the most from the gradual degradation of the idea of liberty." |
"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalistic System was to debauch the currency... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million can diagnose." |
"Politics is war without bloodshed
while war is politics with bloodshed." |
