The Good Land

“So be very careful to love the Lord your God. If you violate
the covenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and
go and serve other gods and bow down to them,
the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and you will quickly
perish from the good land he has given you.”

Joshua 23:11,16


The Final Revolution

“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people
love their servitude,

and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak,

producing a
kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have
their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it,

because they will be
distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing
enhanced by pharmacological methods.

And this seems to be the final revolution.”

Aldous Huxley (1896-1963),

Tavistock Group, California Medical School, 1961


The Rope

 

The capitalists will sell us the rope with which to hang them.

Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924)


Unless

 

“Unless the people, through unified action,
arise and take charge of their government,

they will find that their government has
taken charge of them. Independence and liberty
will be gone,

and the general public will find
itself in a condition of servitude
to an aggregation of organized and selfish
interest.”

Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933)


Step By Step

                                                                                                                                                                                                Sarah Moon

There is a guide that never falters,
And when He leads I cannot stray,
For step by step He goes before me,
And marks my path, He knows the way.

 

Oft-times the path grows dim and dreary,
The darkness hides the cheering ray,
Still I will trust, tho’ worn and weary,
My Saviour leads, He knows the way.

                                                                                                                                          Joel Robison

He knows the evils that surround me,
The turnings that would lead astray,
No foes of night can ere confound me,
For Jesus leads, He knows the way.

                                                                                                                          A.B. Ackley

To Fool People

It’s easier to fool people than to convince them they’ve been fooled.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)


Banality/Evil

 “The more superficial someone is,

the more likely he will be to yield to evil.

That is the Banality of Evil.”

– Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)


Convinced/Dedicated

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule
is not the convinced Nazi or
the dedicated communist,
but people for whom the distinction
between fact and fiction,
true and false, no longer exists.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)


Hidden Hand

Governments do not govern, but merely control the machinery of government,
being themselves controlled by the hidden hand.
Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

Behind the Scenes

The world is governed by very different personages
from what is imagined by those who are not
behind the scenes.

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)
