Previous quotes of the week:

"It appears what the United Nations needs to do is to recommend to all nations... adoption of laws which will... actually lead to the sterilization of all persons who are inadequate, either biologically or socially, and encourage the voluntary sterilization of normal persons who have had their share of children." -- Guy Irving Burch, Human Breeding and Survival, 1947

"By pioneering in the integration of nation-states into a shared supranational economic and eventually political union, Europe is also pointing the way toward larger forms of postnational organization, beyond the narrow visions and the destructive passions of the age of nationalism." -- Zbigniew Brzezinski, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives, page 57

"Gradually, by selective breeding the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organised insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton." -- Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society, page 61

"The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and communism under the same tent, all under their control...Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent." -- Congressman Larry P. McDonald, writing in the introduction of The Rockefeller File, by Garry Allen, 1975

"The convergence of Web technology, wireless networks and portable client devices provide new opportunities for computer communications systems designs. At HP Labs we have been exploring these opportunities through an infrastructure to support “web presence” for people, places and things. Our goal is a bridge between the World Wide Web and the physical world we inhabit... It also includes the ability to provide people, places and things – electronic or otherwise – with a web resource that is used to store information about them and which is automatically correlated with their physical presence." -- Hewlett Packard: People, Places, Things: Web Presence for the Real World

"What can be foreseen right now is that if the Americans did abandon the republic, they would move quickly to despotism without tarrying for long in monarchy. Montesquieu said that there is nothing more absolute than the authority of a prince who succeeds a republic, because the indefinite powers once fearlessly entrusted to elected officials would then be placed in the hands of a hereditary leader." -- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America (1835)

"Whatever attitude one chooses toward this condition, it remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons... who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses." -- Edward Bernays, Propaganda, page 37-38

"The establishment of a New International Economic Order entails fundamental changes in political, social, cultural and other aspects of society, changes which would bring about a New International Order." - RIO: Reshaping the International Order, 1976

"A nation that asks nothing of government but the maintenance of order is already a slave in the depths of its heart; it is a slave of its well-being, ready for the man who will put it in chains." -- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, page 631

"There is a chance for the President of the United States to use this disaster [meaning the attacks of September 11, 2001] to carry out what his father…a phrase his father used I think only once, and it hasn’t been used since…and that is a new world order." -- Gary Hart, former U.S. Senator and National Security Consultant, stated on Sept. 12, 2001 on CSPAN

"We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands." -- Arnold Toynbee, "The Trend of International Affairs Since the War", International Affairs, November 1931, p. 809

"If then there is ever to be a world government, it will have to function as governments do now, in the sense that it will have to coerce a minority - and indeed it may often be a majority - into doing things they do not want to do." -- Charles Galton Darwin, The Next Million Years, 1952

"Generally speaking, only simple conceptions can grip the mind of a nation. An idea that is clear and precise even though false will always have greater power in the world than an idea that is true but complex." -- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835

"The biggest problem is the damn national sectors of these developing countries. These countries think that they have the right to develop their resources as they see fit. They want to become powers, sovereign states and they work out strategies... we thought that we could control things better by reasoning with these leaders, these nationalist fools." -- Thomas Lovejoy, former Vice President of the World Wildlife Fund, as quoted in a 1983 interview contained in the Club of Life White Paper "International Bankers' Real Agenda: Global Depopulation". This interview was reprinted in the Executive Intelligence Review special report from May 1992.

"In its more developed phases I seem to see the New Republic as a sort of outspoken Secret Society, with which even the prominent men of the ostensible state may be openly affiliated." - H.G. Wells, Anticipations: Of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress upon Human life and Thought

"The men of the New Republic will not be squeamish, either, in facing or inflicting death, because they will have a fuller sense of the possibilities of life than we possess. They will have an ideal that will make killing worth the while..." - H.G. Wells, Anticipations: Of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress upon Human life and Thought, 1901

"It is also a fact that America is too democratic at home to be autocratic abroad. This limits the use of America's power, especially its capacity for military intimidation. Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the public's sense of domestic well-being." - Zbigniew Brzezinski, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives, page 35

"All the weight of the Open Conspiracy will be on the side of the world order and against that sort of local independence which holds back its subject people from the citizenship of the world." - H.G. Wells, The Open Conspiracy (1928)

"Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible." - Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society, page 61

"Eventually, the whole earth and its resources being finite, the human race must limit its growth to zero, and adopt for the whole world Chairman Mao's concept for China of a stable replacement-only population." - William Draper, Jr.

"...the problem of the increasing populations - perhaps the greatest threat facing humanity - cannot be solved in a way consistent with humanity." - Fairfield Osborn, "Our Plundered Planet", 1948

“The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence and submergence into an all powerful one world government.” - Admiral Chester Ward, former CFR member and Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy

"Networks, like schools, are not communities, just as school training is not education. By preempting fifty percent of the total time of the young... by ringing bells to start and stop work, by asking people to think about the same thing at the same time in the same way, by grading people the way we grade vegetables, network schools steal the vitality of communities and replace it with an ugly mechanism. No one survives these places with their humanity intact, not kids, not teachers, not administrators, and not parents." - John Taylor Gatto, Dumbing us Down

"This subject [mass psychology] will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship... Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen." -- Bertrand Russel, The Impact of Science on Society (1952) page 41
