The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right
and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers.
Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out'
at any election without any profound or extensive shifts in policy.
-CARROLL QUIGLEY, Tragedy and Hope, 1966
There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates,
to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may
identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups,
and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted
for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records.
...my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.
[The goal is] nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each
country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world
acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences...

One American tires the earth much more than twenty Bangladeshis. ...Its terrible to have to say this.
World population must be stabilized and to do that we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. This is so horrible
to contemplate that we shouldn't even say it. But the general situation in which we are involved is lamentable.
-JACQUES COUSTEAU, UNESCO Courier, November 1991
The distribution of birth control devices and the imposition of mandatory abortion practices in the
third world countries is now ecologically insufficient and unfairly out of world social balance.
The white, upper and middle class females of modern society are too healthy and fertile to be exempted from some imposed
regulation of international law or mandate. An American-born child is environmentally too expensive to maintain to his
or her adulthood in a world economy. American women must be subjected to some manner of regulation beyond licensing and
mandatory abortion practices.
Unconventional and extreme measures must be implemented and enforced by global U.N. mandate as it is deemed necessary. The bodies
of these world eco-criminals should be commercially yielded for reintroduction in the world's natural systemic food and nutrient chains,
in order to restore a more natural biological balance and order to our Sacred Earth.
-JACQUES COUSTEAU, Speech at Earth Summit, Rio de Janeiro, 1992
There are many kinds of maneuvers in war... There are maneuvers in time, in diplomacy, in mechanics, in psychology;
all of which are removed from the battlefield, but react often decisively upon it... The maneuver which brings an ally
into the field is as serviceable as that which wins a great battle. The maneuver which gains an important strategic
point may be less valuable than that which placates or overawes a dangerous neutral.
-WINSTON CHURCHILL, The World Crisis, 1949
The first British countermove, made on my responsibility,... was to deter the Germans from surface attack. The
submerged U-boat had to rely increasingly on underwater attack and thus ran the greater risk of mistaking neutral
for British ships and of drowning neutral crews and thus embroiling Germany with other Great Powers.

There has come about an extraordinary and very sinister concentration in the control of business in the country...
The growth in our nation, therefore, and all our activities, are in the hands of a few men... This money trust,
or as it should be more properly called, this credit trust... is no myth.
-WOODROW WILSON, 1912, quoted in Adventures in Constructive Finance, Glass. 1927
When Treasury Secretary Carter Glass was informed by President Wilson that the decision had been made to obligate the
United States government to backing the Federal Reserve Note, Glass told the President, "It would be a pretense on its face.
Was there ever a government note based primarily on the property of banking institutions? Was there ever a government issue not one dollar of which
could be put out except by demand of a bank? The suggested government obligation is so remote it could never be discovered."
President Wilson replied, Exactly so, Glass. Every word you say is true; the government liability is a mere thought. And so, if we can hold
the substance of the thing and give the other fellow the shadow, why not do it, if thereby we may save our bill?
-WOODROW WILSON, to Carter Glass, 1913, from Adventures in Constructive Finance, Glass. 1927
Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know
that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak
above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. -WOODROW WILSON, 1913
In short, the "house of world order" will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down.
It will look like a great "booming, buzzing confusion," to use William James' famous description of reality,
but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more
than the old-fashioned frontal assault.
-RICHARD N. GARDNER, The Hard Road to World Order, Foreign Affairs, April 1974
A dangerous game is being played in Washington with America's national security. Call it the "one percent solution"
-- the fallacy that a successful U.S. foreign policy can be carried out with barely one percent of the federal budget. Unless the next
president moves urgently to end this charade, he will find himself in a financial straitjacket that frustrates his ability to promote
American interests and values in an increasingly uncertain world.
Ultimately, the only way to end the dangerous one percent solution game is to develop a new national consensus that sees the international
affairs budget as part of the national security budget -- because the failure to build solid international partnerships to treat the causes
of conflict today will mean costly military responses tomorrow.
-RICHARD N. GARDNER, The One Percent Solution, Foreign Affairs, July/August 2000
Under Socialism, you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed
whether you liked it or not. If it were discovered that you had not the character and industry enough to be worth all
this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live, you would have to
live well. -GEORGE BERNARD SHAW, The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism, 1928
I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion
which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself
appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour
of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems
in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable
to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today. -GOERGE BERNARD SHAW
I am just saying that we need to be honest about the fact that we are transferring from the United States at a practical
level significant authority to a new organization[the World Trade Organizaton]. This is a transformational moment.
I would feel better if the people who favor this would just be honest about the scale of change.... This is not just another
trade agreement. This is adopting something which twice, once in the 1940s and once in the 1950s, the U.S. Congress rejected.
I am not even saying that we should reject it; I, in fact, lean toward it. But I think we have to be very careful, because
it is a very big transfer of power.
-NEWT GINGRICH, Testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee, 1994
Politics and war are remarkably similar situations. -NEWT GINGRICH
If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological problems staying in a ditch for thirty days because they get infections and they don't
have upper body strength. I mean, some do, but they're relatively rare. On the other hand, men are basically little piglets, you drop them in the ditch,
they roll around in it, doesn't matter, you know. These things are very real. On the other hand, if combat means being on an Aegis-class cruiser
managing the computer controls for twelve ships and their rockets, a female may be again dramatically better than a male who gets very,
very frustrated sitting in a chair all the time because males are biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes.
-NEWT GINGRICH, 1995
A limited world government has powers sufficient to monitor and enforce disarmament, settle
disputes, and keep the peace. All other powers are reserved to the nations. It possesses
enforceable taxing powers to finance its political organs, its disarmament policing agency,
and its international military force, which includes a nuclear component. The nations are
disarmed to police levels.
-LINCOLN P. BLOOMFIELD, A World Effectively Controlled by the United Nations, 1962
A world effectively controlled by the United Nations is one in which "world government" would come about through
the establishment of supranational institutions, characterized by mandatory universal membership and some ability to
employ physical force. Effective control would thus entail a preponderance of political power in the hands of a
supranational organization rather than in individual national units, and would assume the effective operation of
a general disarmament agreement. While this supranational organization — the United Nations — would not necessarily
be the organization as it now exists, the present UN Charter could theoretically be revised in order to erect such an
organization equal to the task envisaged, thereby codifying a radical rearrangement of power in the world.
-LINCOLN P. BLOOMFIELD, A World Effectively Controlled by the United Nations, 1962
A related problem is that at least a third of the countries in the world are only now beginning to traverse the
stages of nationalism which traditionally precede, accompany, and follow national independence. If some of them are also
going to experience the acute pathology of malignant nationalism in the fashion of Germany, Italy, and Japan in living
memory, the prospect is dim for consensus leading to formation of a universal community with a preponderance of power
at the center. I have suggested that an alternative road may bypass the main path of history, short-circuiting the
organic stages of consensus, value formation, and the experiences of common enterprise generally believed to underlie
political community. This relies on a grave crisis or war to bring about a sudden transformation in national attitudes
sufficient for the purpose. According to this version, the order we examine may be brought into existence as a result of
a series of sudden, nasty, and traumatic shocks.
-LINCOLN P. BLOOMFIELD, A World Effectively Controlled by the United Nations, 1962
This year will go down in history. For the first time a civilized nation has full gun registration.
Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient and the world will follow our lead into the future.
-ADOLPH HITLER, 1934
The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjected people to carry arms.
History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjected peoples to carry arms have prepared
their own downfall by so doing... ...So let us not have any native militia or police.
-ADOLPH HITLER, Edict of March 18, 1938
When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical
Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans ... And so a lot of people
say there's too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it.
That's what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we're
going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make people safer in their communities.
