quotes that say it all

— President George Bush
1988

“He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action!

“It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.”
— Albert Einstein

“It’s really not a number I’m terribly interested in.”

“... the United States has given frequent and enthusiastic support to the overthrow of democracy in favor of ‘investor friendly’ regimes.

“The World Bank, IMF, and private banks have consistently lavished huge sums on terror regimes, following their displacement of democratic governments, and a number of quantitative studies have shown a systematic positive relationship between U.S. and IMF/World Bank aid to countries and their violations of human rights.”
— Edward S. Herman
economist, U.S. media and foreign policy critic
author of The Real Terror Network

“The United States spends more on arms annually, $275 billion presently, than the rest of the Security Council combined. U.S. arms expenditures are approximately 25 times the gross national product of Iraq. The U.S. has in its stockpiles more nuclear bombs, chemical and biological weapons, more aircraft, rockets and delivery systems in number and sophistication than the rest of the world combined. Included are twenty commissioned Trident II nuclear submarines any one of which could destroy Europe.”
— Ramsey Clark
former U.S. Attorney General
Letter to the U.N., November 1998

“Today, the United States spends more on military arms and other forms of ‘national security’ than the rest of the world combined. U.S. leaders preside over a global military apparatus of a magnitude never before seen in human history.

“In 1993 it included almost a half-million troops stationed at over 395 major military bases and hundreds of minor installations in thirty-five foreign countries, and a fleet larger in total tonnage and firepower than all the other navies of the world combined, consisting of missile cruisers, nuclear submarines, nuclear aircraft carriers, destroyers, and spy ships that sail every ocean and make port on every continent. U.S. bomber squadrons and long-range missiles can reach any target, carrying enough explosive force to destroy entire continents with an overkill capacity of more than 8,000 strategic nuclear weapons and 22,000 tactical ones.”
— Michael Parenti

“You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.”
— Albert Einstein

“...I have seen that we do not intend to free, but to subjugate the people of the Philippines. We have gone to conquer, not to redeem... And so I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land.”
— Mark Twain
October 15, 1900
The New York Herald
condemning the genocide of the Philippine people
which began in 1899 and lasted to 1902

“Conventional wisdom would have one believe that it is insane to resist this, the mightiest of empires... But what history really shows is that today’s empire is tomorrow’s ashes, that nothing lasts forever, and that to not resist is to acquiesce in your own oppression.

“The greatest form of sanity that anyone can exercise is to resist that force that is trying to repress, oppress, and fight down the human spirit.”
— Mumia Abu-Jamal
World-renowned journalist
political prisoner in America

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

If I can't dance, it's not my revolution!

When Jesus Christ came upon the Earth, you killed him. The son of your own God. And only after he was dead did you worship him and start killing those who would not.
