“The US dollar, euro, and all national currencies today are fiat. Thus they can be easily and endlessly created, printed, if you prefer. In addition to that, because of fractional reserve banking, commercial banks also create large amounts of money by lending it into existence - artificial credit expansion.” - Manuel Tacanho

“I call it the state where everyone, good and bad, is a poison drinker: the state where everyone, good and bad, loses himself: the state where universal slow suicide is called - life.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“The CIA doesn't kill anybody anymore, they neutralize people, or they depopulate the area. The government doesn't lie, it engages in disinformation. The Pentagon actually measures nuclear radiation in something they call sunshine units. Israeli murderers are called commandos, Arab commandos are called terrorists. Contra killers are called freedom fighters. Well, if crime fighters fight crime, and firefighters fight fires, what do freedom fighters fight?” - George Carlin

“Bitcoin is rat poison; it’s just the banks and credit card companies are the rats.” - Dan Morehead

“A western citizen is being brainwashed much more than a soviet citizen ever was during the era of communist propaganda.

“The “neighbour” praises selflessness because it brings him advantages.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“If you believe in freedom of speech, you believe in freedom of speech for views you don't like. Goebbels was in favor of freedom of speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you're in favor of freedom of speech, that means you're in favor of freedom of speech precisely for views you despise.” - Noam Chomsky

“Almost everywhere it was madness which prepared the way for the new idea, which broke the spell of a venerated usage and superstition.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“What is tradition? A higher authority which one obeys, not because it commands what is useful to us, but because it commands.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“Never forget where the real power lies. It's where it always has been, in your hands.” - Ross Ulbricht

“Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard.” - Robert H. Jackson

“Every person is unique, and their human rights are more important than any lofty goal, any mission, or any program. An individual's rights ARE the goal, ARE the mission, ARE the program.” - Ross Ulbricht

“Now rebadged as being ‘woke’, political correctness represents an existential threat to Western societies including concepts like rationality and reason, religious freedom and freedom of expression. We have entered an Orwellian world like 1984 where Big Brother and the Party control how citizens think and where anyone who questions the thought police is victimised, punished and silenced.” - Kevin Donnelly
