If you need a little convincing that the devil is the ruler of this world and the father of lies, then start digging into these links and sites. For me, it has been very mind-stretching over the past two years. When I was a kid in the 80’s, I was ready to “kill a commie for mommy” (Top Gun, Red Dawn) and joined the military. I believed in the righteousness of the US Government, and that the military existed to sacrificially protect our freedom. I deployed overseas and flew Marine Corps jets from Navy carriers–loving every minute! But after active duty I worked at Lockheed Martin on the F-35 program, and was shocked by the massive waste. Then I went to work for a couple defense aerospace start-ups, which included meetings with DC lobbyists that spoke openly of carrying paper bags full of cash to Congressional fund-raising events.

General Smedley Butler was right…War is a Racket. It still is ($100 Billion to Ukraine? It’s a money-laundering operation). And to anyone not still enslaved to the Media, the past two years have clearly shown that all of Government is a racket. FDA, CDC, FCC, DoD, CIA, EPA, IRS, DOJ, FBI…all exist not for We The People, but for the system itself. Government now exists for its own benefit, like a self-licking ice cream cone. The intent of those who framed the Constitution–especially limited-government Jefferson–has been lost. Ben Franklin saw it coming…”A Republic, madam–if you can keep it!”

No more bloviating by me. If you are willing to investigate for yourself, and willing to consider new sources, then read on!

“The masses go mad as a herd, but only regain their senses slowly, and one by one.”   Charles Mackay  

“Most people are not just comfortable in their ignorance, but hostile to anyone who points it out.”  Plato, The Allegory of the Cave

“Liberties aren’t given, they are taken.”  Aldous Huxley

“A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.”  Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

“He who says the state is God, deifies arms and prisons. The worship of the state is the worship of force. There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men. The worst evils that mankind ever had to endure were inflicted by bad governments. The state can be and has often been in the course of history the main source of mischief and disaster.”

Ludwig von Mises

“Football and beer filled the horizon of their minds, to keep them in control was not difficult.” George Orwell 

“We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy our economy ” Chris Hedges

“The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he’s in prison.” Fyodor Dostoevsky

“The first panacea of a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permeant ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.” Ernest Hemingway

“The world, viewed philosophically, remains a series of slave camps, where citizens – tax livestock – labor under the chains of illusion in the service of their masters.”  Stefan Molyneu

“General, man is very uselful.
He can fly and he can kill.
But he has one defect:
He can think.”                Bertolt Brecht, “From a German War Primer”
