Quotes
from a Collective Consciousness
(Ed. note: throughout my pages, I have
included fine affirmations about/for Life. Unfortunately, not all of Man-kind has held the
same values, for your or my existence. Yet, these mental impulses have existed,
exist still, and will exist, for as long as Man reigns "supreme" on this planet.
The extremes of the Collective Consciousness are responsible for the general state
of Global bliss and illness.)

Talk about your fruits and nuts! (July 8, 2001, www.nypost.com)
"Vegetarians don't live longer, they just look older," said South
Dakota cattle rancher Jody Brown. "If animals weren't meant to be eaten,
then why are they made out of meat?"
"How can there be Peace, in the World, when there is violence at

"This we know. All things are connected like the blood which
unites one family .... Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons and
daughters of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a
strand in it. Whatever he does
to the web, he does to himself." ~~ Ted Perry, inspired by Chief Seattle
"Corrupt the young, get them away from religion. Get them
interested in sex. Make them superficial, destroy their ruggedness. Get control of all means
of publicity and thereby: Get the peoples' mind off their government by focusing
their attention on athletics, sexy books and plays, and other trivialities.
Divide the people into hostile groups by
constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance. Destroy the peoples faith in
their natural leaders by holding up the latter to ridicule, contempt and obloquy. Always
preach true democracy but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
Encourage government extravagance,
destroy its credit, produce fear with rising prices, inflation and general discontent.
Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a
soft and lenient attitude on the part of government towards such disorders. By specious
argument cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues: honesty, sobriety,
continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness. Cause the registration of all
firearms on some pretext, with the view of confiscating them and leaving the
population defenseless." Vladimir Ilich Lenin (About 1917 )
Here is a sad commentary on life in America.
I WANT YOUR
CHILDREN©
Based on a Short by Terry L. Richardson
I have come to visit your children
And I'm pleased with what I see.
They abuse all kinds of drugs,
And are getting drunk with me.
They live as in Gomorrah or Sodom,
Their minds perverse and blown.
I will claim their souls anytime now,
You shouldn't have left them alone.
I am glad you worked long hours,
I am glad you were busy a lot.
And It would have been harder to sway them,
If you too hadn't been using pot.
At your schools I have been at work,
Making sex an acceptable game.
You slept while I fought to keep prayer out,
To add to your neglectful shame.
You don't seem to noticed the witchcraft;
I broadcast on your own TV,
"It's just an innocent program,"
Twitch your nose as they follow me.
Add a couple violent sitcoms,
It's funny to see heads blown in two.
Now your little Tommy has his own gun
And there's nothing you can do.
They're mine and you cannot reach them;
Their hearts are cold, hard and black.
I've showed them how to party,
With pot, cocaine and crack.
You have been a tremendous help though;
I couldn't have done it alone.
If you hadn't forsaken your prayer life,
These seeds I could not have sown.
So stay away from the Bible's teachings;
Don't listen to what God has to say.
Your children are no longer your problem,
A price they'll eternally pay.
Without Christ, they are mine to devour.
Without God, nothing you can do.
Today I will take your children.
Tomorrow I will be coming for you.
Sincerely,
Satan
"When an opponent
declares, 'I will not come over to your side,' I calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us
already...What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new
camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.'"
Adolf Hitler , November, 1933)
" Freedom is
not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how
human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human
beings of that precious right." - Mohandas
Gandhiii
"...the
only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States: We can't let
other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization,
we have in the U.S. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they
are. And it is important to the rest of the world to make sure that they don't suffer
economically by virtue of our stopping them." Michael Oppenheimer, Environmental Defense Fund
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with a result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by dictatorship. The average age of the world s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence:
- From bondage to spiritual faith;
- From spiritual faith to great courage;
- From courage to liberty;
- From liberty to abundance;
- From abundance to selfishness;
- From selfishness to complacency;
- From complacency to apathy;
- From apathy to dependency;
- From dependency back into bondage. "
-- The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic,
Alexander Fraser Tyler (1748 - 1813)

beings, as a species, have no more value than slugs." John

"If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our
amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people in
Englandare, our people, like them, must come to labor
sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of
fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily
expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to
think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to
obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the
necks of our fellow sufferers." Thomas Jefferson

that story out. . . . Their lies will catch up to them. We need endless Chernobyl
reminders." Ralph Nader
"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to
whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.
"And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and
blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so.

stand upright in the winds that would blow then?" --Sir Thomas

David Foreman, Earth First!

is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is
meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will
deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion.
Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above
everything.´´ --Confucius

"And so a lot of
people say there's too much personal freedom.
When personal freedom's being

weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make people safer in their
communities." President Bill Clinton, 3-22-94,
