No matter what the question is, the answer is always Love.
Posted on January 14, 2024

The Eagle Command and Control Centre calling you. Lord Ashtar (Commander in Chief of the Intergalactic Space Peacekeeping Force) is standing by to speak with you. At the present time he is on board the Command Ship Eagle and the fleet has surrounded Earth. All our ships are invisible at the present time, using our technologies of light bending so that the technologies on Earth are not able to pick up our craft. I send you my blessings as always.
Good morning, my beloved Earth family. What a delight it is to be back with you after you have had a recession. A great deal has happened in that time since we last spoke. I thought that because we haven’t spoken for some time it would be appropriate to answer the questions that are coming to us from your brothers and sisters on Earth.
The first question that is on so many lips is: “What is the hold up? Why is it taking so long?” and as we go through the answers I think you will understand what the cause is.
For our beloved brother Jesus and ourselves there is great concern amongst us of complacency within your brothers and sisters. For those who have been preparing for this great event for upwards of forty years, and there are many souls like that, they are saying : “We prepared for so long, and nothing has happened, and now we will go back to our old lives because obviously, its not going to happen.”
For us this is extremely alarming. And I quote the Ascended Greek Master Theophilus. He stated: “There are very few grains of sand left in the hourglass.” I say to you my beloved ones, as Light Workers on planet Earth now, do all you can to persuade your brothers and sisters not to become complacent. In the past your teachers have talked about being prepared, and XXX, you have done an amazing job in moving your home and taking note of your teachers and preparing in every way you possibly can. And each of you is aware of what lies ahead in the photon belt and the issues that will be experienced there; the period of darkness.
You have nothing to fear because you have understood the trust in God. The trust is so vital, because that was where humanity fell away from God and they were no longer able to trust God in the beginning. In those earlier talks, of preparedness, your teachers talked of all the things you needed to do – how you would find that your electronic technology would no longer work for you in the time of darkness, and to prepare for other forms of warmth and heating with natural wood and gas. Also to have fuel (petrol, diesel etc) on hand if you have generating machinery, and to have plenty of water for your needs for your body, and for ablutions, and preferably fed by gravity so you did not have to depend on anything else.
There will of course be massive problems for those who haven’t looked forward to what is going to happen when the darkness comes, and there will be an amazing amount of fear. But you, as Light Workers, and all the helpers on Earth will be able to help your brothers and sisters through this difficult time.
There are many souls at the present that are saying to me: “Lord Ashtar, you have the power to land the fleet. Land the fleet and get on with it!”
That is true, I do. But my dear ones, I have absolutely no intention, nor does anyone in our Command, of breaking God’s Laws. Imagine, if we were to have a Luciferian war, and you know the fate of the fallen angels and the story of Lucifer. Can you imagine?
And the question has come from many brothers and sisters: “Where does the Command come from? Who gives the command?”
In one simple word, dear ones, it is God. But the command comes down, through God’s trusted emissaries. And the command comes to The Creator’s Arm. And then we are asked: “But who is The Creator’s Arm? Where are they? Who are they made up of?”
The Creator’s Arm consists of the Elohim. These are amazing beings of light and whilst you are in the Third Dimension, it is impossible for you to understand the power and the magnitude of the Elohim. They are creators of the planets. As well as the Elohim, there are those amazing archangels that you have known and loved: Archangel Michael and Archangel Gabriel, and another one that is well known, Sanat Kumara. He is the Elohim of Venus, and for the last two and a half million years he has been the planetary logo of Earth.
When the command comes from God to the Creator’s Arm, and it is stepped down to me, the fleet will land, beloved ones, so fast that you will think it is almost like the speed of light. In the book you read, (“You are becoming a Galatic Human” by Sheldon Nidle and Virginia Essene) you were able to read about the intentions of the Sirian planet, but as well as that, there are literally thousands of planets and star systems that are standing by to do the very same as your brothers and sisters from Sirius.
And the next question was: “Why do these planets have concern about Earth? What is in it for them? And is there some intention that they have towards Earth?”
The answer is yes, they have great intentions towards Earth! Because they have looked on for eons, as Earth developed, and they are aware that Earth was to be the showcase planet in the Universe, and God’s plan was truly amazing for Earth. It is the beautiful green planet, with amazing water supplies, amazing vegetation, rain forests, trees, beautiful flowers. Compared to the other planets it is, as Isaiah would say “beyond belief.”
And so your brothers and sisters have watched on, finding it impossible to believe how this beautiful planet could suffer war after war after war after war, and then watch the people on Earth desecrate the planet to the point that it is almost impossible to retrieve. And so yes, they have a very vested interest. They want to see their beautiful little sister grow up and become again what our beloved Father had intended her to be.
Another question that comes forth: “What is happening to the climate on Earth? Why are we seeing such wild and devastating things occur on Earth?”
And the answer is, beloved ones, a great deal of time and money has been invested by governments and other institutions about what is happening on Earth, and the catch cry of “climate change”. A huge amount is being invested by the media, to make you believe, on the one hand, “Earth is warming”, but at the same time other groups say: “No Earth is cooling.”
The truth of the matter is, beloved ones, there is no such thing as climate change. What is actually happening is that Mother Earth, a living being, is fighting, it is all getting to much for her and she is crying out for help. And the climate on Earth is controlled by the weather beings, the elementals and the nature spirits and they are all controlled by the archangels – they are of the angelic realms.
When you have earthquakes on Earth, it is simply Mother Earth turning over in agony as the plates underneath the surface of the Earth grind and grumble, she is crying out for help. And when you have such amazing typhoons and hurricanes, undersea volcanic eruptions, volcanic eruptions on the surface of the Earth, tsunamis, massive storms, tidal waves, bushfires and droughts, it is simply the overwhelming of the weather spirits, the weather beings, the elementals and the nature spirits crying out for help. Imagine, as the prophet would say, a household pressure cooker on your stove when it reaches maximum pressure, it blows off. And that is exactly what is happening with your climate.
So now I wish to digress about climate and the changes ahead. I know some of you find it hard when we talk about history. But history is what decides what will happen in the future. I want to take you back to the Atlantean/Lemurian wars (12,000 years ago Lemuria was destroyed by the Atlanteans, Atlantis sank 2,000 years after that as a result of yet another attempted war.)
You may recall that your teachers spoke about the climate in Lemuria in past meetings and they told you the climate was truly amazing. The temperature at the time of Lemuria never changed more than 5 degrees, plus or minus, 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Or 21 degrees Celsius. So in the Equatorial regions it never got hotter than 75 degrees and in the polar regions it never got cooler than 65 degrees. And yes, there were no polar icecaps. The wind speed never increased to more than 7 miles per hour. (11 km/h) The atmosphere was truly amazing.
What changed all this was the Atlanteans broke God’s Laws and I refer here to the splitting of the atom and the Atomic blasts that were fired by the Atlanteans at Lemuria. It had the effect of blasting open the crystalline ice cap firmament, and this was what was responsible for that amazing climate in Lemuria. The firmament was a crystalline ice layer, and it also surrounds the planet Sirius. It was in two layers, the first 15 to 18 thousand feet above the surface of the Earth, and the second layer at 35 to 38 thousand feet.
The story of what happened is told in your bible – it is called the great flood at the time of Noah and the Ark. At the time of this Great Flood there was some 64 million people on Earth, and when the flood lessened and the survivors were counted, there were barely two million. The water receded into what you know as the North and South poles and formed the polar icecaps. Noah, in his visions, was hoping that the new civilisations on Earth would follow the old traditions of Lemuria – a Fifth Dimension civilisation with full consciousness. A civilisation of unconditional love. But history tells us a different story. Sadly the people reverted to their warring ways, and as you know in more recent times, the great destruction of your planet.
In past times your teachers have talked about the plants and the animals that have become extinct and how the Father has saved them. And I draw your attention to the recent bushfires in your state of Victoria (An Australian State) where you saw catastrophic pictures of the creatures in the trees, and great sadness amongst the people.
Beloved ones, I talked about trust earlier – trust in God. All those little creatures are safe in new bodies and they are presently under the surface and they like all the other plants and animals that are on other planets waiting to return, are absolutely safe. And other souls have said: “Oh yes, when the icecaps melt in the North and South poles, what about the polar bears, the seals, the penguins and the migratory whales that return? What about them?” Again beloved ones have trust. The Father has all that in his care. He loves His creatures and plants so much that nothing will be lost. And simply, after the landing and the reconstruction of Earth starts, the ice from the polar icecaps will be used to rebuild the firmament.
You will notice that since the time of the Atlantean/Lemurian wars, the lifespan of humanity on Earth has changed from millennia to just a mere decades. The height of the peoples on Earth are no longer the seven to eight feet they used to be. Now they have returned to five and six feet. And this is due to the radiation in the atmosphere, because of the damage that was done to the firmament. And you will be very aware, from your reading of the Telos books, of the Lemurian civilisation under Mt. Shasta, part of the Agartha Network known as Telos, and those Lemurian people were seven feet tall or more.
I also wish to say to you, that each one of you have flown over your country Australia, and you are aware of the inland of this beautiful island and how in many parts it is returning to desert. Australia was part of Lemuria and originally that inland Australia was a beautiful land of amazing water ways, amazing trees and plants and a beautiful place to live. The desecration that occurred there was due to the Atlanteans splitting atoms and the atomic blast that took place. And you will recall when I spoke to you about the atomic blast that took place on Bikini Atoll in 1954, and it took us 20 years to restore that and sadly some of it was not possible to restore. And this is what happens when you break God’s Laws.
Your teachers have spoken too, about the indigenous souls, both those embodied in the present time, and those in the spirit world. They will be joining with your brothers and sisters from space, for the rebuilding of the planet. And this will be a most glorious time. At the same time, the teachers have spoken to you in the past that there are a great many souls on Earth at the present time who will not make the move in the ascension. As you know all God’s children have free will. They will have the choice as to whether they wish to make the ascension or whether they wish to stay in the Third Dimension.
Because of this, I have made arrangements with three of the planets that presently exist in the Third Dimension and they are agreeable to take those brothers and sisters that do not wish to move forward at this time. This will not affect their evolution in any way detrimentally. They will be able to move forward in their own time and it may take considerable incarnations for some of them to do so. But if it takes ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, whatever it takes at the present time, the Father has that avenue open for them to move into the Fifth Dimension when they are ready.
For the rest of the brothers and sisters on Earth that make the decision to move, they will move up to full consciousness and their DNA will change, up to the 12 helix system, that which was denied them in the time of Atlantis. That will mean massive changes for all those brothers and sisters. You remember I encouraged you to revisit the “Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East” and the reason was because I wanted you to see what you could do – the powers that the Father has given you. And when you move into that Fifth Dimension, you will be truly amazed at those powers. You will be able to talk to the dolphins and whales, who are fully conscious. Many souls will be able to work with them to rebuild the oceans as they are the guardians of the seas.
And I have been asked by many souls: “What happens around the Earth to the Defence forces – massive installations that have had huge amounts of money spent on them for the defence of each country. What will happen to them?”
You are aware always, that the Father does not tolerate waste. So these installations will not be wasted. Those personnel in the navies around Earth will have the opportunity to work with the whales and the dolphins to start making changes in the oceans and change them from what they are becoming – dumps of rubbish for humanity to fill the oceans and destroy the life that is already in the oceans. So you can see that there is massive work to be done in marine ecology. The airforce will be employed with the technology that will be coming from the other stars and planets to start changing the atmosphere and bringing it back to what it originally was in the Lemurian times. And your land armies will be working with your brothers and sisters from space to rebuild the Earth on the land.
And as the Father will not tolerate waste, those installations of guns and guided missiles and all those things that were straight out warfare for killing humanity, will go back into their base metals and be used in such things as bridge building and the rebuilding of the cities and whatever is required. You will be absolutely amazed at the technology that is coming from the planets and the star systems to help with this rebuilding.
There will be huge changes in your cities because, as you understand now, the population of Earth will be considerable reduced. And if you think back to your trips with the girls to Mars and Venus, you saw an incredible town and city installations in Venus and incredible beauty. But Venus was not like that originally. All that amazing building and beauty has been done by the peoples of Venus.
It is hard, when you live on Earth, to understand that the other planets do not have the beauty that Earth has. So the cities will change, very much like your botanical gardens, and the animals will change too. You will find there will be massive changes in all of God’s creatures in that once again the fabled story of the lion lying down with the lamb will be the way the animals live with you. You will even see amazing changes in the venomous creatures that are on Earth at the present time. They will no longer carry venom to cause death. Even God’s beautiful plants like the roses will change and you will find no longer do the roses carry thorns. They will have the most beautiful perfumes for all to enjoy.
And so beloved ones, I hope that you can see that the massive organisation that is involved has taken longer than many of us hoped it would. But you know the Father only deals in perfection and this will be the greatest event that has ever happened in the history of your planet and this time there will be no mistakes. Earth will come in to that dimension that originally she was in and it will be the most beautiful planet in all the universe.
I encourage you now to keep your eyes on the skies. Spend as much time as you can in prayer. And do as much networking as you can to help your brothers and sisters and explain what is going to happen. Jesus has asked that as many groups come together as they can, so they can give each other moral support when the time comes.
When the landings occur, you will see the small sky-ships, the ones that you travelled to Venus and Mars in. They are the fast little vehicles that we use. You will see the larger ships, like my command ship, you will see the massive transporters which are able to transport humanity and the equipment required for rebuilding the planet. And then of course there are the massive sky-ships. The mighty sky-ship that my twin flame commands (Lady Athena, commander of the Athena Sky-ship) will be absolutely amazing when you see it. It is absolutely huge. And coupled with the landing of the (Ashtar) command, (About 1 million craft) you will then see all the ships from the stars and the planets that are coming to your aid, and of course your Sirian friends that you have read about.
And so as I take my leave today, I would encourage you to remember the beautiful signature of the Universal Teacher, Chief Flaming Arrow: “Slip your hand into the hand of God, and you will never walk alone.” I send you my love and my blessings as always. I am Lord Ashtar, Commander in Chief of the Intergalactic Space Peacekeeping Force.

A giant ‘black triangular shape’ UFO hovering over a California military base was caught on six videos and witnessed by 50 US Marines in 2021.
One stunning picture shot by an officer at Camp Wilson in Twentynine Palms on April 20, 2021 shows the apparently triangular object with lights on its edges, above the desert mountains – where it hovered for 10 minutes according to witnesses.

Videos show the lights of what some of the Marines believe was a craft, hanging in the dark sky, shot between 8.24pm and 8.30pm.
At 8.29pm one video recorded troops shooting a flare into the sky in an attempt to illuminate the object, which had five red lights.
However, before they could fully illuminate the ‘black triangle’, it vanished without a trace.
Soon after the encounter, Marines said dozens of trucks and multiple helicopters rushed to that area of the base, with choppers flying overhead until around 11.30pm that night.
Witnesses’ estimates of the unidentified object’s size ranged from the size of a stealth bomber, which has a wingspan of 172 feet, to approximately half the length of a football field.
Journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp acquired six pieces of film footage that captured the event from two angles, as well as an accompanying photograph, which they are releasing through their podcast, Weaponized.
The footage, recorded by Marines using their smartphone cameras, appears to depict five lights arranged in a triangular formation.
The incident has echoes of the infamous Phoenix Lights case, a well-known mass sighting of a giant triangular-shaped UFO that occurred over the city of Phoenix in 1997, with witnesses including then-Arizona governor Fife Symington.
A mortarman serving at Camp Wilson during the 2021 incident spoke with Corbell, and took a high-exposure photo on his smartphone which revealed the outline of an object.
The object appears to be triangular, surrounded by lights spaced evenly around its edge in a v-formation.
The mortarman, who DailyMail.com is keeping anonymous, described how one of his companions witnessed the object materialize from nowhere.
‘One of my buddies was outside. He was looking at the sky and said that it just kind of appeared out of nowhere. And we all came out and looked and then slowly like 50-plus people started coming out and looking. Those lights appeared out of nowhere.’
He added that despite their military experience, none of the Marines could recognize the craft, and described their reaction as ‘baffled.’
The mortarman, who filmed and photographed the object, said: ‘If you look at the picture, you can see a black triangular shape.
‘With the picture I took with the black triangular shape underneath the lights, it’s definitely not any type of flare thing or illumination rounds.’
The witness said the apparent object remained stationary for approximately ten minutes. But a Marine can be overheard on one of the videos saying that the triangle appeared to be in motion.
Another Marine, who DailyMail.com is keeping anonymous, was serving as an artilleryman at the base when he saw the UFO.
He firmly rejected any suggestions that the lights could be attributed to illumination rounds fired by artillery – or any other mundane explanation he might have recognized.
‘This was something none of us had ever seen before. It was a completely different color; the size [and] the illumination was different,’ He said. ‘When we shoot illumination rounds, it’s one, you shoot in the air and let it drop, and then you shoot another one.
‘This was like five right next to each other and they’re kind of reddish, and our loom [illumination] rounds are a yellow-white color.’
The artilleryman compared the UFO’s size to a stealth bomber, while the mortarman described it as equivalent to the size of a three-bedroom house. Another witness who spoke with Corbell likened it to being approximately half the size of a football field.
Witnesses also reported additional peculiar lights circling the object throughout the encounter, which can be faintly observed in the footage.
Illumination rounds were eventually fired over the UFO by Marines, captured in one of the videos.
But before the object could be illuminated, it suddenly disappeared.
The mortarman described the event: ‘Those two orange lights, the actual loom [illumination] rounds…went up over top of it [the UFO]. And then after that, it just disappeared. Like just straight went black and then helicopters started hauling a** towards it… and then started circling the area.’
The artilleryman said he witnessed a convoy of over 60 military trucks joining the helicopters traveling to the location.
‘These helicopters were circling for a good bit afterwards. And there was a convoy as well that went out. A 60-plus truck convoy.’
The witnesses involved struggled to find explanations.
‘I don’t think it was anything US military,’ the mortarman told Corbell. ‘[It was] definitely some type of UFO and the government was trying to look for it after it disappeared. I’m just trying to figure out what the hell that was.
‘I’ve never seen anything like it.’
Speaking to DailyMail.com, Corbell, who has spoken to numerous witnesses, claimed that the incident had not been reported to the US Government’s UFO investigations office, known as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).
‘Due to the location of this mass UFO sighting – within the restricted airspace of one of our active United States military installations – significant amounts of data was accumulated and includes radar, thermal, electro-optical and signature intelligence,’ Corbell told DailyMail.com.
‘On-base documentation is also presumed with high confidence to have been generated, due to protocol and witness observed response.
‘This case had not been properly reported through the active United States UAP investigation channels; under the authority of the Department of Defense’s AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office). AARO has now been informed of this presumed incursion.
‘If the public wants to understand more about this UAP encounter – we will need to encourage our representatives to ask questions and push for answers.’

Last weekend, I talked my two grandsons into joining me to watch The Fifth Estate, the new feature film about WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange. The movie is being marketed as an “action thriller” and is reportedly having a hard time competing, revenue-wise, with two current blockbuster movies, Gravity and Captain Phillips. (I don’t doubt that fact because, at the end of the Saturday afternoon screening, we were the only ones left in the theater; folks who had been in the audience at the beginning had bailed out, presumably for more mindless, more entertaining fare elsewhere in the multiplex theater.)
For those readers who are not fully aware of what WikiLeaks really is, here is a good definition from a supporter:
WikiLeaks is an international, online, non-profit organisation which publishes information submitted by courageous whistleblowers, people with conscience. Most whistleblowers prefer to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals. Google what happened to Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden. They are being hounded, hunted, criminalised, ostracized, ex-communicated by the very top people whose secret criminal deals and activities they have exposed.
The final sentence of that quote explains why tremendous courage is necessary to be a whistleblower and why most of us are too frightened to speak out when witnessing injustice. The last phrase summarizes what is a major component of what constitutes “a profoundly sick society”.
I brought my grandsons to see the WikiLeaks film because I thought it was important to expose them to a movie about a historically important movement that was trying to respond to Krishmamurti’s concerns (about the western society he had witnessed in the first half of the 20th century). My busy, “wired-in” grandsons, like most distracted, computer game savvy, over-entertained adolescent students their age, seem to be relatively oblivious to pertinent past history – and even current events. I see the eternal truth of George Santanana’s powerful truism about the mistakes made by sick societies who are historically illiterate: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Whistleblowers, who are all motivated by their consciences, might be our only hope.
At this point, it would be a good idea to step back to explain the title of the film [which will also illustrate the importance of Santayana’s quote]. A little background about the history of the French Revolution of 1789 is important.
Up until 1789, France had been ruled by a hereditary monarchy for centuries. French society was regarded at the time as having three groups that were subservient to the king. The three classes were known as the Three Estates. The first two “estates” represented the parasitic ruling classes that never paid taxes or contributed to French society’s economy in any significant way. The First Estate was the clergy, the Second Estate was the aristocracy/nobility and the Third Estate was comprised of the common people who did all the work. These commoners were, of course, the largest group and were also the taxpaying group, while the First and Second Estates (ruthlessly protected by an obedient, well-trained and indoctrinated professional military) never did any labor nor did they participate in the production of food or other consumer goods.
Much later in history, elsewhere in the world, the media was given the title of The Fourth Estate, and journalists deserved the label when they were actually doing good investigative journalism by exposing the unethical behaviors and crimes of the ruling classes.
The title of the film, “The Fifth Estate”, refers to the hundreds of whistleblowing groups like WikiLeaks, Occupy Wall Street, Catholic Worker groups, Democracy Now, Courage to Resist, antiwar groups, anti-nuclear groups, the 9/11 Truth movement, Earth First, etc., etc., all of whom have found themselves altruistically and courageously doing the dangerous investigations and protests in order to expose corrupt governments, corrupt militaries, corrupt law enforcement agencies, corrupt churches, corrupt national security institutions, corrupt financial institutions and other secretive planet-damaging corporations that the “disappeared” and virtually non-existent Fourth Estate has forsaken or been scared away from.
Here is a small sampling of courageous and often severely punished whistleblowers – some famous and many that we don’t know or care about. The list includes Jesus of Nazareth, Paul of Tarsus, Martin of Tours, Martin Luther, Henry David Thoreau, Leo Tolstoy, Smedley Butler, Dorothy Day (and the entire Catholic Worker movement), Gandhi, Martin Niemoller, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther King, John Paul Vann, Ronald Ridenhour, Daniel Ellsberg, the Catonsville Nine, Frank Serpico, Gary Webb, Karen Silkwood, Mordechai Vanunu, Karen Kwiatkowski, Colleen Rowley, Sibel Edmunds, Greg Boertje-Obed, Julian Assange, Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden, Pope Francis, etc, etc. See Wikipedia for a list of some of the others who are less well-known: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_whistleblowers
The movie was instructive and well worth seeing, although the Collateral Murder video (google it) was severely shortened and therefore its impact weakened. Still, I would recommend the movie for anyone, although, for those interested in a more thorough treatment of the historical impact that WikiLeaks has had, it would be better to watch the documentary Underground: The Julian Assange Story, which is, I am told, the best factual documentary about WikiLeaks.
The Fifth Estate probably won’t have enough entertainment value to interest those who aren’t very curious about why the White House, the Congress, the NSA, the FBI, the CIA and the Pentagon are so freaked out about Assange, Manning and Snowden. Others who won’t appreciate this movie include those who desperately want to believe what they are told and who therefore trust the commercials on TV, trust the talking heads on the mainstream media and trust the official Pentagon, State Department or White House pronouncements.
Folks who aren’t very curious about what are the motivations behind the 9/11 Truth or the Occupy Wall Street movements probably won’t be interested in this movie either, now will those who don’t much care about the war, peace and justice issues that drive the multitudes of lesser-known anti-establishment folks to action.
Whistleblowers, in a nutshell, are, in one way or another, trying to resist, expose and perhaps turn around the sickest parts of our globalized, colonized, corporatized, militarized, economically oppressed, and increasingly totalitarian surveillance state before the quasi-fascists who are working the levers behind the curtains destroy the planet and its inhabitants.
Please study the following inspirational quotes that keep the whistleblower folks that are our most courageous neighbors working hard at attaining justice for all:
“Individual citizens have the duty to violate domestic laws to prevent crimes against peace and humanity.” — The judges at the Nuremberg trials that tried and condemned as war criminals many upper echelon Nazis (whose actions were defended by their lawyers as totally legal and constitutional according to the rule of law in Nazi Germany)
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”— George Orwell
“Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither.”— Benjamin Franklin
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” —Voltaire
“We can either have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we cannot have both.” — Justice Louis D. Brandeis
Profit outside the rigged system! Protect yourself from tyranny and economic collapse. Learn to live free and spread peace!
“A great war leaves a country with three armies: an army of cripples, an army of mourners, and an army of thieves.” — An anonymous German saying
“Only the dead have seen the end of war.” — George Santayana
“Anyone who has proclaimed violence his method. must choose lying as his principle.”– Mikhail Gorbachev
“There comes a time when silence is betrayal.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.
“It may well be that the greatest tragedy of this period of social change is not the glaring noisiness of the so-called bad people, but the silence of the so-called good people.”–Martin Luther King. Jr.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”– Edmund Burke
“To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.” — Abraham Lincoln
“The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, during times of great moral crisis, maintained their neutrality.” — Dante
“Wars throughout history have been waged for conquest and plunder. It is the ruling class that declares the wars, and it is the working class who fights all the battles and furnishes the corpses. The ruling class continually talks about “patriotic duty”, but it is not their duty but your patriotic duty that they are concerned about. There is a decided difference. Their patriotic duty never takes them to the firing line or chucks them into the trenches.” — Eugene V. Debs
“We’re not made by God to mass kill one another, and that’s backed up by the Gospels. Lying and war are always associated. Pay attention to war-makers when they try to defend their current war; if they’re moving their lips they’re lying.” — Phil Berrigan
“Aggressive militarization under the rubric of defense against terrorism threatens to provoke a chain reaction among nuclear nations, big and small, that, once set in motion, may prove impossible to control. No military confrontation anywhere in the world is free from this ominous and ever-present danger.” — Helen Caldicott, in The New Nuclear Danger
“Globalization is but another name for colonization – nothing has changed but the name. And, just as the East India Company was the instrument for colonization, today’s corporation is the instrument for globalization. And, corporatization is but another name for Fascism.”— Urban Kohler
“Those who take oaths to politically powerful secret societies cannot be depended on for loyalty to a democratic republic.” — John Quincy Adams
“Certified lunatics are shut up because of their proneness to violence when their pretensions are questioned; the uncertified variety (of lunatic) are given the control of powerful armies, and can inflict death and disaster upon all sane men within their reach.” — Bertrand Russell
“Slavery is the legal fiction that a person is property. Corporate personhood is the legal fiction that property is a person.” — Anonymous
“The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right….To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”– Theodore Roosevelt
“A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.” — Edward Abbey
