“I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by it's system of credit...[] We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world, NO longer a Government by free opinion, NO longer a Government of conviction and vote of the majority, but, a Government by opinion and the duress of a small group of dominant men.”
Woodrow T. Wilson
“There is a power so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive that prudent men better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it”
“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”
Thomas Jefferson
“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to = remain silent.”
“Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.”
“The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.”
Voltaire
“In a healthy nation there is a kind of dramatic balance between the will of the people and the government, which prevents its degeneration into tyranny.”
Albert Einstein
