Current state of affairs - brought to measure by the forebodings of yester-year and the pillars of our Great Nation regarding...
I. THE WITHOLDING OF INFORMATION:
"Information is the currency of democracy."
"Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God."
II. THE ENCROACHMENT OF GOVERNMENT:
"Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others?"
"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."
"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."
III. OUR DUTY TO PRESERVE THE FOUNDATIONS AND REPAIRING THE BREACH:
"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."
"The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind."
"What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
IV. THE 2ND AMMENDMENT:
"The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it."
V. BANKING AND NATION'S ECONOMY
"I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."
VI. OUR MENTAL ATTITUDE AND PRESCRIBED OUTLOOK AMIDST THIS CRISIS:
"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude"
"I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it."
VII. LAST, BUT NOT LEAST--THE MSM (MAIN STREAM MEDIA)
"The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing, but newspapers."
- Thomas Jefferson, 1743-1826
