- "In March 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests -- the
steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations
-- got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them
to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient
number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press ...They
found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest
papers. An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought,
to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to
properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness,
militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international
nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers." - U.S.
Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917

- "We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New
York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors
have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for
almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our
plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity
during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared
to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an
intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national
auto determination practiced in past centuries." - David Rockefeller,
founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address before that organization
in June of 1991

- John Swinton, the former chief of staff of THE NEW YORK
TIMES, called by his peers, "The Dean of his profession," was
asked in 1953 to give a toast before the New York Press Club. He rose and
gave this toast: "There is no such thing, at this date of the world's
history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it.
There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if
you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am
paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected
with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any
of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out
on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions
to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation
would be gone. The business of the Journalist is to destroy truth; To lie
outright; To pervert; To vilify; To fawn at the feet of mammon, and to
sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know
it and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools
and vassals for rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they
pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives
are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

- "Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's
views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States,
in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They
know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful,
so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above
their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." - (President)
Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom (1913)

- "As nightfall does not come at once, neither does
oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains
seemingly unchanged. And it is in such a twilight that we all must be most
aware of change in the air -- however slight -- lest we become the unwitting
victims of the darkness." - WILLIAM O. DOUGLAS (Supreme Court Justice
1939-75)

- "We want to take as many of their rights as we can.
We want to put them in prison; we want to take away their right to vote;
we want to take away their right to own a gun." - Mr. Wayne Pacelle,

Society of the United States (HSUS) -- the Animal Rights 2001 Conference.

- "Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops
entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow
they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there
were an outside threat from beyond [i.e., an "extraterrestrial"
invasion], whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence.
It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from
this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented
with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for
the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government."

- "In 30 years of implementing the Endangered Species
Act, the Service has found that the designation of critical habitat provides
little additional protection to most listed species, while preventing the
Service from using scarce conservation resources for activities with greater
conservation benefits. In almost all cases, recovery of listed species
will come through voluntary cooperative partnerships, not regulatory measures
such as critical habitat. Habitat is also protected through cooperative
measures under the Endangered Species Act including Habitat Conservation
Plans, Safe Harbor Agreements, Candidate Conservation Agreements and state
programs. In addition, voluntary partnership programs such as the Service's
Private Stewardship Grants and Partners for Fish and Wildlife program also
restore habitat. Habitat for endangered species is provided on many national
wildlife refuges managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and state
lands administered by the Department of Land and Natural Resources."
- From: Joan_Jewett@r1.fws.gov. You can cite the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service as the source of the critical habitat language. June 23, 2003 (On
June 19, 2003, the comment to my inquiry as to the author of this quote
was: "These statements were written in Interior Secretary Gale Norton's
office. I do not know the exact author.")
