American Gov Quotes

Way back in 1918, Randolph Bourne famously wrote, “War is the health of the State.” In his unfinished letter to the American people, he expressed concern about the State’s sudden acquisition of greater power and undue control of individuals. It used to be that in times of peace, “the sense of the State almost fades out of the consciousness of men,” but unfortunately, that is no longer the case. Since 2020, we have had to engage with the State a hundred times a day, as we presented a government card to get into a restaurant, school, or airplane; when we went outside, when we failed to wear a face covering, when

On January 17, 1991 and for the 43 days that followed, I watched CNN’s live coverage of SCUD missiles and bombs fall over Baghdad like rain; then the 12 ½ years of unjust sanctions that killed approximately a million Iraqis, half of which were children under the age of five; then an unjust attack in 2003 that opened the borders to terrorists from all over the world and reduced the cradle of civilization to piles of rubble. The gov. asked us to support their plan or else be considered anti-American and undemocratic and they ask of us the same today, 25 years later, even though history proved they were pro-profit not pro-life.

You have probably seen the order from Washington which cuts down the pay for colored troops from $13 to $10. Of course if this affects Massachusetts regiments, it will be a great piece of injustice to them, as they were enlisted on the express understanding that they were to be on precisely the same footing as all other Massachusetts troops. (excerpt from letter to MA Gov. John A. Andrew from Col. Robert G. Shaw, 2 July 1863)

Readers will be guided through the rabbit hole of falsehoods and misrepresentations that beguiled millions of Americans into accepting mandated vaccines and barely tested drugs, without even the pretense of informed consent. Parents agreed to give mystery injections to their children and babies, yet can’t explain the risks or supposed benefits

For me, this is a battle that has completely changed my life, my way of thinking, and my perspective on my government and world leaders. There is no going back for me. I will not let this great nation, this world, go down the road of totalitarianism if I can help it. That is a recipe for the end of the American dream.

I am firmly committed to a belief that the American experiment in self-governance, forged in another crucible, the tyranny of a mad king, remains relevant today. I reject the twisted logic of those who assert that these principles are obsolete, antiquated, and must be replaced with a system built upon a collectivist and globalist totalitarian vision, a system of government and command-and-control economic activity that have consistently failed every time they have been tried throughout history.

majorities across all demographic groups in the YouGov survey, both military and civilian, agreed that “military culture and way of life . . . is very different from the culture and way of life of those who are not in the military” and that “the military has different values than the rest of society,

The United States has been co-opted into a “managed democracy.” The American republic was placed into the hands of oligarchs by bureaucratic imperatives and managerial principles and practices, which have created a creeping form of totalitarianism. Now we can clearly see the liberties and freedom guaranteed by the US Constitution being eroded rapidly just as Wolin predicted. The consequence is the establishment of this new form of totalitarianism, which (unlike classical totalitarianism) does not have an authoritarian leader. Instead, inverted totalitarian governments are run by a nontransparent group of managers and elites who manage the country from within. What President Trump might call the “deep state.” Or what Steve Bannon originally called the “Uniparty.” In effect, our democracy has been turned upside down while being captured by corporate interests that endorse authoritarian policies—hence “inverted totalitarianism

As an information architect, framing is a vital part of my work, but it’s not what organizations ask me to do. For example, the National Cancer Institute hired me to fix the usability of their website by reorganizing its navigation. The goal was to reduce the number of clicks from the home page to content. But I soon discovered a bigger problem. Most folks searching for answers about specific types of cancer never reached cancer.gov due to poor findability via Google. I only saw this problem because I knew how to solve it. I explained to my client that by aligning the information architecture with search engine optimization, we could improve usability and findability. Together, we were able to reframe the goals. The site went on to win awards and rise to the top of the American Customer Satisfaction Index.

What? Let’s “agree to disagree” about the ethics of infanticide? Let’s be civil about terminating the life of a newborn? With respect, sir, that is not going to happen. Not as long as there are Americans with a conscience. Not as long as there are Americans with a heart. We do recognize that abortion can sometimes be an agonizingly difficult choice for a pregnant woman, like a 16-year old raped by her drunken uncle. While we still say that abortion was the wrong choice, we do not condemn the teen as a moral monster.… Gov. Northam, we will never “agree to disagree” with you about infanticide. As Vice President Pence wrote,
