“You demagogues are like the fishers for eels; in still waters they catch nothing, but if they thoroughly stir up the slime, their fishing is good; in the same way it’s only in troubled times that you line your pockets.”
Aristophanes, The Knights
“They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective, toward which all their deceit is directed, is to capture political power, so that using the power of the State and the power of the market simultaneously they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.
American fascism will not be really dangerous until there is a purposeful coalition among the cartelists [Big Money], the deliberate poisoners of public information, and those who stand for the K.K.K. type of demagoguery.”
Henry A. Wallace, former Vice President of the US
“It [Citizens United] violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.”
Jimmy Carter, former President of the US
Henry Wallace, eh? The greatest dupe in the history of the United States. Read up on his visit to Soviet slave labor camps and his glowing report on the wonderful conditions. Those “KKK” types, as crude and violent as they were, were trying to save our country from the Zionist bastards who have ruined our country.
