“Pity the nation that raises not its voice, except to praise conquerors and acclaim the bully as hero and aims to rule the world with force and by torture.”
Lawrence Ferlinghetti, New Poems, City Lights
“We’ve become, now, an oligarchy instead of a democracy. I think that’s been the worst damage to the basic moral and ethical standards to the American political system that I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Jimmy Carter
“Financial predators are usually narcissistic and audacious. They regularly have an extreme sense of entitlement coupled with high self-efficacy. Many of them have a charismatic quality and are preternaturally persuasive. Financial predators are commonly shameless and quite adept serial liars. They perceive themselves having near unlimited guile and resourcefulness to extricate themselves out of any compromising situations.”
Russ Alan Prince, Forbes
“This slow and awful self-hypnotism of error is a process that can occur not only with individuals, but also with whole societies. It is hard to pick out and prove; that is why it is hard to cure. But this mental degeneration may be brought to one test, which I truly believe to be a real test.
A nation is not going mad when it does extravagant things, so long as it does them in an extravagant spirit. But whenever we see things done wildly, but taken tamely, then the State is growing insane.”
G.K. Chesterton, National Madness
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

Russ Alan Prince’s description of a ‘financial predator’ sounds indistinguishable from a ‘politician’
Jimmy “Keep’en My Nuts Warm” Carter proves once again he’s a moronic douche by saying we’re a Democracy. I used to ride by his place in Plains twice a year on my way to Alabama. It gave me great joy to slow down and flip him off .
