    "Did I say "republic"?  By God, yes...I said "republic". Long live the glorious republic of the United States of America. DAMN DEMOCRACY.

Westbrook pegier, in the New York Journal American of Jan. 25th 1951

    "Under a proper social system , a private individual is free to take any action he pleases (so long as he does not violate the rights of others), while a government official is bound by law in his every official act.

    "There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know before hand that it will never appear in print.
     I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job.
     If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.
     The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassels for rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes." -- John Swinton, Former Chief of Staff of the New York Times, Called by his peers , "The dean of
his profession", was asked in 1953 to give a toast before the New York Press Club.

    "I didn't speak up when the secret government brought about wars in Laos, Burma,Vietnam, E. Timor, and Central America. I didn't speak out about the deaths of 58,000 American's in Vietnam, or the tens of thousands of CIA directed assassinations in Central and South America. I
didn't speak out when the savings and loans were looted. I didn't speak out (or listen) when couragous individuals spoke out about the October Surprise operation. I didn't speak up when.. people reported the CIA drug trafficking into the United States. I didn't speak up when I learned
of the looting  of people's assetts in Chapter 11 by corrupt federal judges and others.
    I chose to remain ignorant about the depth of corruption by government officials and judges. I ignored the pattern of coverup and criminal activities by members of Congress. I ignored my responsibilities as a Citizen, and was indifferent to the tragic plight of those people who directly affected by the massive corruption in government. I shirked my responsibilities by eagerly believing the disinformation and denials given by the media and federal officials. I am now paying the consequences, and I share the blame for what is happening to the United States, and to the American people." --Rodney Stich, Defrauding America

     "Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle! Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." --Frederick Douglass, August 4, 1857.

"Never turn your back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!" -Winston Churchill
