David Cobb (Green Party Presidential Candidate in 2004), 2004:
"The Green Party is the electoral arm of the peace and
justice movement."
Josef Stalin (Soviet Premier, 1922-1953), date unknown
"It's not the people who vote that count;
it's the people who count the votes."
[There's some argument about whether or not he actually
said this, but whoever said it, it's even more true today
than in Stalin's day.]
Winston Churchill (Prime Minister of England during
World War II), 1943:
"The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without
formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to
deny him the judgment of his peers, is in the highest degree
odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government
whether Nazi or Communist."
Theodore Roosevelt (26th President of the United States),
1926:
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President,
or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally
treasonable to the American public."
David Rockefeller (banker), 1991:
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York
Times, Time Magazine, and other great publiations
whose directors have attended our meetings and
respected the promises of discretion for almost
forty years.
"It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan
for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights
of publicity during those years. But the world is now
more sophistiated and prepared to march towards a world
government.
"The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite
and world bankers is surely preferable to the national
auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
Amschel Mayer Rothschild (banker), 1838:
"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation,
and I care not who makes its laws."
Benito Mussolini (the inventor of Fascism), 1932:
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because
it is the merger of state and corporate power."
