Chris Hedges:

"We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy."

We are now a world where money (and the accumulation of the stuff money buys) is the new religion. But, this new religion has its roots in the bible (if you believe those stories) and the beginning of the time when humans became capable of coveting, not just surviving.

Great quotes above. A few more:

"I realized one night in my room that I was living in a world of hotels, fancy houses and cars, adultery, high divorce rate, etc. and did not like it. I realized that all this stuff (cars, houses, etc) was just clutter. It had no meaning. So, I stopped living that life." -David Duval, after rising to no. 1 in the golf world and winning the Open Championship.

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always." -Ghandi

Love Chris but I like the original better:

“Just look at us. Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom.”

― Michael Ellner

Apologies....The above quote is a misquote....the real one is:

"Just look at us. Everything is backwards. Everything is upside-down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroy information, and religion destroys spirituality."---Michael Ellner

David Icke said this at one of his public speeches many years ago.

The system is designed this way on purpose. They tell themselves they are being clever and patriotic. But they are just being evil and justifying their evil by calling the general masses "stupid" "useless eaters" "morons" etc. But they are the morons. They have destroyed the beautiful world they could have lived on.

Straight forward honesty from the government will never happen until the government is DESIGNED in such a manner that lying about anything becomes IMPOSSIBLE for any group of people to accomplish. 24 hour video/audio surveillance of ALL public office holders live streaming on the web for anyone to watch and report on. Then severe penalties for deceiving or distorting the truth. Like death penalty for lying while in public office and then enforce it on public tv. Politicians will become the most honest of all peoples. Their life depends on it.

Stock markets to be "separate but equal"

...And liberals destroy free thought and tolerance.

Would you have a surgeon with grades like that operate on you, fix your roof or electrical or even your car? These guys are pushing global warming and fail at science, religion (Gore also failed divinity school), and yes, Enron was Bush's baby along with bullshit wars. Do you want leaders who get D grades and/or just pass because someone knew somebody who could fix a failing grade(s)?

What was Yale teaching? Common Core? Same goes for Harvard, especially in the economics, political and psychological fields.

John, These Ivy League schools are at the forefront of this globalist elitist flim flam operation. The kids have been so programmed it's nigh impossible to speak to them about any of this. One would hope that with the aid of living a couple of years in a meager attempt to fulfill some sort of dream, that they stumble upon some of the truths normal folk have to deal with. Sorry to say I am not a big fan of SAT or ACT. They are the ideas of the eugenics movement and I just can't enter into any sort of thought process on that subject matter. On that note, just wanted to share with you that in Southern Maryland the Maples are in bloom and I would assume that the mountain of snow that is your life presently may melt enough into the ground to become your drinking water.

Now for religion. The greatest fraud of all including Global Warming which is a legal religion in many places. This is a must see and also see the followup.
