All European tradition, Marxism included, has conspired to defy the natural order of all things.
Mother Earth has been abused, the powers have been abused, and this cannot go on forever.
No theory can alter that simple fact.
Mother Earth will retaliate, the whole environment will retaliate, and the abusers will be eliminated.
Things come full circle, back to where they started.
That’s revolution.
( Russell Means )

It is one of the great ironies of corporate control that the corporate state needs the abilities of intellectuals to maintain power, yet outside of this role it refuses to permit intellectuals to think or function independently.

There’s a Palestine that dwells inside all of us, a Palestine that needs to be rescued.
A free Palestine where all people regardless of colour, religion, or race coexist.
A Palestine where the meaning of the word “occupation” is only restricted to what the dictionary says rather than those plenty of meanings and connotations of death, destruction, pain, suffering, deprivation, isolation and restrictions that Israel has injected the word with.

The evil it does is permanent.

Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself.
Evil is simply the absence of God.
It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God.
God did not create evil.
Evil is not like faith, or love that exist just as does light and heat.
Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God’s love present in his heart.
It’s like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.
( Albert Einstein )

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

Big institutions in this imperial state, in this evil U.S. empire, prepare their politicians to become criminals.

Even the men who made it cannot agree on what their prophets or redeemers or gurus actually said or did.

I am out of words and can’t write anything.
This feeling comes to me from time to time.
I feel I don’t have any energy or capability to do anything.
What’s going on is beyond words or imagination.
Nothing is spared, not children, women, the elderly and infirm, people with disability, the sick, hospitals, schools, libraries, churches, mosques, and cemeteries.
Imagine, they are bulldozing cemeteries.
Are the long-dead also Hamas militants?
No water, food, medical supplies, electricity, no humanity is left in Gaza.
However, Palestinians only have their faith in God and love for our land.
Palestine is not only a country and land.
Palestine is heart, faith, home, and identity!

A wise man can play the part of a clown, but a clown can’t play the part of a wise man.
( Malcolm X )

The more I learned about science, the more, not less, evidence that I saw of God’s creation and design.
For example, as I was becoming an ophthalmologist and learning about the inner workings of the eye, the amazing and logical arrangement of photoreceptors, ganglion cells, and neurons, I realised that there is absolutely no way that an intricate structure such as the human eye could ever evolve from a random compilation of cells.
The very complexity of a human eye is, in fact, the most powerful evidence of the existence of God.
( Dr. Ming Wang )

The bad thing of war is, that it makes more evil people than it can take away.

Before I was six years old, my grandparents and my mother had taught me that if all the green things were taken from the earth, there could be no life.
If all the four-legged creatures were taken from the earth, there could be no life.
The same held true for all the winged creatures and those that crawl and swim and live within the earth.
However, if all the human beings were taken away, life on earth would flourish.
That is how insignificant we are.
( Russell Means )

I see America through the eyes of the victim.
I don’t see any American dream, I see an American nightmare.

Ignorance is a painless evil.
So, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.

When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.
( Thomas Sowell )

Only when holiness and worship meet can evil be conquered.
For that, only the Christian message has the answer.
( Ravi Zacharias )

It is better to be unhappy and know the worst, than to be happy in a fool’s paradise.
( Fyodor Dostoevsky )

Violence is not just an emotion, it is a culture.
Some suffer in it, some are born into it and others cannot live without it.

The media’s the most powerful entity on earth.
They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power.
Because they control the minds of the masses.

The refugee card was and continues to be an insult to remind us of the little that refugees get in comparison with what they have really lost.
Would a bag of flour compensate for the farmland they once had?
Would a bag of sugar make up for the bitter misery those people have always felt after losing their sweet homes to dwell in refugee camps?
Would the two bottles of oil make them forget their olive trees, which had been mercilessly uprooted as they themselves were?
Or maybe it is simply a declaration that they are temporary refugees who once had the land which, as long as this card is still in their hands, would still be waiting for them to return.
Only a shot of sharp pain brought me back to the present.
( Refaat Alareer )

By the skilful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.

If the media can manipulate you into hating people you have never met, for reasons you don’t fully understand, then you are exactly the type of person they want.
( Rose Winfold )

The world should know and understand, plus they should act to end the occupation.
The unconditional support and protection from the United States must be balanced.

For the powerful, crimes are those that others commit.
( Noam Chomsky )
