General Douglas MacArthur: I am concerned for the security of our great nation, not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4453
Marcus Tullius Cicero: A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4454
Henry Ford: It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4455

Samuel Adams: If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4465
The Declaration of Independence: But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4466

James Madison: The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4473
Henry Louis Mencken: The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4474
Mahatma Gandhi: Truth never damages a cause that is just. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4475
Karl Marx: Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4476
Justice William O. Douglas: Those who already walk submissively will say there is no cause for alarm. But submissiveness is not our heritage. The First Amendment was designed to allow rebellion to remain as our heritage. The Constitution was designed to keep government off the backs of the people. The Bill of Rights was added to keep the precincts of belief and expression, of the press, of political and social activities free from surveillance. The Bill of Rights was designed to keep agents of government and official eavesdroppers away from assemblies of people. The aim was to allow men to be free and independent and to assert their rights against government. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4477
General Douglas MacArthur: Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant funds demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4478
Franklin D. Roosevelt: The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4479
James Madison: History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling the money and its issuance. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4480
James Madison: Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4481

Thomas Jefferson: Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience (has) shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce (the people) under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4482
Thomas Jefferson: Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4483
Andrew Jackson: Unless you become more watchful in your States and check this spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that the most important powers of Government have been given or bartered away, and the control of your dearest interests have been passed into the hands of these corporations. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4484
Thomas Woodrow Wilson: The masters of the government of the United States are the combined capitalists and manufacturers of the United States. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4485
Theodore Roosevelt: Behind the visible government there is an invisible government upon the throne that owes the people no loyalty and recognizes no responsibility. To destroy this invisible government, to undo the ungodly union between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the task of a statesman. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4486
