History Is A Set Of Lies Agreed Upon

Capitalism has neither the capacity, nor the morality, nor the ethics to solve the problems of poverty.
( Fidel Castro, 1926 – 2016 )

Freedom in capitalist countries exists only for those who possess money and who consequently hold power.
( Nikita Khrushchev, 1894 – 1971 )

Democrats work to help people who need help.
That other party, they work for people who don’t need help.
That’s all there is to it.
( Harry S. Truman, 1884 – 1972 )

From my earliest training as a scientist I was very strongly brainwashed to believe that science cannot be consistent with any kind of deliberate creation.
That notion has had to be very painfully shed.
I am quite uncomfortable in the situation, the state of mind I now find myself in.
But there is no logical way out of it.
Once we see that the probability of life, originating at random is so utterly minuscule as to make it absurd, it becomes sensible to think that the favourable properties of physics on which life depends are in every respect ‘deliberate’ or created.
I now find myself driven to this position by logic.
There is no other way in which we can understand the precise ordering of the chemicals of life except to invoke the creations on a cosmic scale..
We were hoping as scientists that there would be a way round our conclusion, but there isn’t.
( Chandra Wickramasinghe, British mathematician and astronomer )

There is no moral difference between a Stealth bomber and a suicide bomber.
They both kill innocent people for political reasons.
( Tony Benn, 1925 – 2014 )

Woe to you, ye obdurate in heart, who commit crime, and feed on blood.
Whence is it that you feed on good things, drink, and are satiated?
Is it not because our Lord, the Most High, has abundantly supplied every good thing upon earth?
To you there shall not be peace.
( The Book of Enoch 96:20 )

As my ancestors are free from slavery, I am free from the slavery of religion.
( Butterfly McQueen, 1911 – 1995 )

If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.
( Samuel Adams, 1722 – 1803 )

History is a set of lies agreed upon.
( Napoleon Bonaparte, 1769 – 1821 )

The Only Answer I Got Was Silence.
One of the reasons I started taking this anti-evolutionary view, was because it struck me that I had been working on this stuff for twenty years and there was not one thing I knew about it.
That’s quite a shock to learn that one can be so misled so long.
So for the last few weeks I’ve tried putting a simple question to various people and groups of people.
Question is: Can you tell me anything you know about evolution, any one thing that is true?
I tried that question on the geology staff at the Field Museum of Natural History and the only answer I got was silence.
I tried it on the members of the Evolutionary Morphology Seminar in the University of Chicago, a very prestigious body of evolutionists, and all I got there was silence for a long time and eventually one person said, ‘I do know one thing, it ought not to be taught in high school’.
( Dr. Colin Patterson, 1933 – 1998, British palaeontologist at the Natural History Museum in London )

Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freedom of speech, a thing terrible to traitors.
( Benjamin Franklin, 1706 – 1790 )

Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos.
Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist.
( George C. Marshall, 1880 – 1959 )

The more people who own little businesses of their own, the safer our country will be, and the better off its cities and towns; for the people who have a stake in their country and their community are its best citizens.
( John Hancock, 1737 – 1793 )

No matter how much information and evidence you share with your friends about corrupt government ministers and our freedom disappearing, 98% of them just won’t care until it’s too late.
( Wilfred Soon )

The Republican Party can lead any person to believe that their promises will be fulfilled in the future.
They follow the Hitler line… no matter how big the lie, repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as truth.
( John F. Kennedy, 1917 – 1963 )

A growing number of respectable scientists are defecting from the evolutionist camp, moreover, for the most part these ‘experts’ have abandoned Darwinism, not on the basis of religious faith or biblical persuasions, but on scientific grounds, and in some instances, regretfully.
( Wolfgang Smith, 1930 – 2024, Austrian mathematician, physicist, philosopher of science, and metaphysician )

Power always thinks that it is doing God’s service when it is violating all His laws.
( John Adams, 1735 – 1826 )

Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years.
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called farm price supports.
Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labour organisations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
( Harry S. Truman, 1884 – 1972 )

A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others.
He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.
( Douglas MacArthur, 1880 – 1964 )

The first maxim of a man who loves liberty, should be never to grant to rulers an atom of power that is not most clearly and indispensably necessary for the safety and well being of society.

Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer.
Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past.
Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
( John F. Kennedy, 1917 – 1963 )

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.
Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
( Napoleon Bonaparte, 1769 – 1821 )

Hundreds of scientists who once taught their university students that the bottom line on origins had been figured out and settled are today confessing that they were completely wrong.
They’ve discovered that their previous conclusions, once held so fervently, were based on very fragile evidences and suppositions which have since been refuted by new discoveries.
This has necessitated a change in their basic philosophical position on origins.
Others are admitting great weaknesses in evolution theory.
( Luther D. Sutherland, author of ‘Darwin’s Enigma’, died in April 1987 )

It is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice.
For they cannot live in any country where virtue and knowledge prevail.
( Samuel Adams, 1722 – 1803 )

Vietnam was worse than immoral. It was a mistake.
( Dean Acheson, 1893 – 1971 )

The picture of the world’s greatest superpower killing or seriously injuring 1,000 noncombatants a week, while trying to pound a tiny backward nation into submission on an issue whose merits are hotly disputed, is not a pretty one.
( Robert McNamara, 1916 – 2009 )

The United States has spent eight trillion dollars fighting and policing in the Middle East.
Thousands of our great soldiers have died or been badly wounded.
Millions of people have died on the other side.
Going into the Middle East is the worst decision ever made.
( Donald J. Trump, 10.09.2019 )

I Had To Tell 18 Lies Under Oath.
As an MP, my true allegiance was to my party, my constituents and, above all, my conscience.
Therefore, in order to serve in the Commons and the cabinet, I had to tell 18 lies under oath, which I found deeply offensive.
Above all, the existence of a hereditary monarchy helps to prop up all the privilege and patronage that corrupts our society.
That is why the crown is seen as being of such importance to those who run the country, or enjoy the privileges it affords.
Years ago, when I was trying to get out of the House of Lords, I was warned that such a move would undermine the monarchy, whereas it was obvious that the monarchy was using the then hereditary House of Lords to prop itself up because it did not want to be alone in justifying its power by inheritance.
The case for electing our head of state and claiming our right to be citizens rather than subjects is unanswerable.
The royal family could stay at Buckingham Palace, financing the changing of the guard by a grant from the tourist board, free to live the lives they want.
Such a change would transform the culture of Britain and radicalise the people by getting us off our knees, which would really frighten those at the top.
( Tony Benn, 1925 – 2014 )

Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government.
When this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins.
( Benjamin Franklin, 1706 – 1790 )

When the speech condemns a free press, you are hearing the words of a tyrant.
( Thomas Jefferson, 1743 – 1826 )

To suppress free speech is a double wrong.
It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.
( Frederick Douglass, 1818 – 1895 )
