"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
Thomas Jefferson, 3de president van de VS en vermoedelijke bedenker van de Amerikaanse grondwet. Een citaat dat waarachtig realiteit is geworden in de hedendaagse VS, waar mensen van de ene op de andere dag op straat kwamen te staan.

“Before I put a sketch on paper, the whole idea is worked out mentally. In my mind I change the construction, make improvements, and even operate the device. Without ever having drawn a sketch I can give the measurements of all parts to workmen, and when completed all these parts will fit, just as certainly as though I had made the actual drawings. It is immaterial to me whether I run my machine in my mind or test it in my shop. The inventions I have conceived in this way have always worked. In thirty years there has not been a single exception. My first electric motor, the vacuum wireless light, my turbine engine and many other devices have all been developed in exactly this way.”

Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. - vrij vertaald en gequote van de Bhagavad Gita door Oppenheimer. (Na de Trinity test, de eerste atoombom ontploffing in Mexico)

The military-industrial complex is the skeleton of war.
Weapons and arms are its muscles, and money is its blood. …
As Chekhov suggested, accumulated arsenals of rifles, tanks, missiles, and nuclear
warheads, growing armies, the whole military organization of society and of the
military-industrial complex, - are by themselves self-fulfilling causes of war.

The “us and them” mentality, intolerance towards other nations, religions or systems
of belief, are artificially inflated and skillfully employed by all political leaders
going to war. ... Through mass media, television and multi-billion propaganda
empires, the ideological pressure on a population can be overwhelming.
