"Whenever you run a clandestine operation, you run two things at the
same time: you prepare the team for the hit, and you keep it so small
there's nobody to spread it all around. And across the hall is a big
staff working on what we call special plans. They're preparing the cover
story. The cover story is what they want people to believe and to talk
about, and to argue about." - From a 1992 speech by Col. Fletcher
Prouty, former chief of special operations, Joint Chief of Staff (as
quoted in Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein)
"Dysfunctional families are known for a certain type of boundary
problem called triangulation. It goes something like this: Person A is
angry at Person B. Person A does not tell Person B. Person A calls
Person C and gripes about Person B. Person C enjoys Person A's
confidence and listens whenever A wants to play the triangle game. By
this time, Person B, feeling lonely, calls C, and in passing, mentions
the conflict with A. Person C becomes the confidant of B as well as A.
Persons A and B have not resolved their conflict and C has two
"friends." - Boundaries, by Dr. John Townsend and Dr. Henry Clouad
"We
are presently working discretely with all our might to wrest this
mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local
nation states of the world." - Arnold Toynbee, Royal Institute of International Affairs, 1031 (as quoted in the United Nations Exposed)
"The Pentagon's calculation that it owns or rents 702 bases in about
130 countries -- over and above 6000 bases in the United States - is a
gross underestimate because it fails to include installations in such
places as Kosovo and Bosnia, as well as Iraq and Afghanistan, and secret
installations in Israel, Australia, and England, among others...Between
the alliance with France in the Revolutionary War in 1778 and the
creation of NATO in 1949, the United States did not enter a formal
alliance with any country. Yet we are now treaty-bound to defend sixty
nations on five continents..." - Day of Reckoning, by Patrick Buchanan, 2007
"The
aggregate national debt had grown from $22 billion in 1932 to just
under $400 billion in 1970. By 1979 the debt had doubled to $800
billion. The difficulty with a debt that doubles in ten years is that
the interest compounds to the point that it can no longer be paid out of
current revenues. Once the interest itself is debt financed, the
compounding accelerates...Interest payments [on the national debt] is a
misnomer. The interest
is not actually being paid. It is being borrowed and added to the debt.
So, in reality, we are paying interest on the interest from previous
years." - The Coming Economic Earthquake,
by Larry Burkett (Note: This book was published in 1991 when our
national debt was still under $4 trillion dollars. Today, it is
somewhere between $19 trillion and $100 trillion, depending on who's
cooking, I mean, keeping the books!)
"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the
right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order." -
David Rockefeller
"But the change will come only when we have slammed the system up
against the wall and stared it down, and made it responsive to us. It is
not unpatriotic to criticize one's country. It is essential. I think of
the wife of a drunk who covers, apologize, and makes excuses for him
because she loves him too much, and thereby enables him to continue in
his oppression and destruction. In the same way we must stop enabling
our system to continue its injustices because, we too, love it so
unconditionally that we fail to demand it reform, that is, be
responsible." - With Justice for None - Destroying an American Myth, by Gerry Spence (Attorney)
