Previous quotes of the week:

"...all of us here at the policy-making level have had experience with directives...from the White House.... The substance of them is that we shall use our grant-making power so as to alter our life in the United States that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union." --
H. Rowan Gaither, Jr., President of the Ford Foundation (as told to Norman Dodd, Congressional Reese Commission 1954)
 

"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 them 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
 

"The threat of environmental crisis will be the 'international disaster key' that will unlock the New World Order." -- Mikhail Gorbachev 
 

"There does exist and has existed for a generation, an international... network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical right believes the Communists act... I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments... in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known." -- Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966
 

"...in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons..." -- Edward Bernays, Propaganda, 1928
 

"I am one of those who do not believe the national debt is a national blessing, but rather a curse to a republic, inasmuch as it is calculated to raise around the administration a moneyed aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country." -- Andrew Jackson, Letter to L. H. Coleman of Warrenton, N.C., 29 April 1824
 

"The day of small nations is passing. Their incorporation with larger areas is to be hailed by lovers of progress..." -- Andrew Carnegie, London Express, October 14, 1904

Comment from Old-Thinker News: Carnegie praised Cecil Rhodes' plan to re-unite America with Britain [The Round Table groups] in this 1904 article. While the original objective of this group has evolved over time to a world-wide vision of global governance and financial control, their mission has been carried forward to the present day.
 

"The legal challenge posed by the new international order can be viewed as the transformation of a system of law based upon Western European culture into the law of the world community..." Club of Rome, RIO: Reshaping the International Order, 1976

"What puts society in danger is not great corruption in some but laxity in all." -- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835

"This subject [mass psychology] will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship... Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated." -- Bertrand Russel, The Impact of Science on Society (1952) page 41

"We are not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money." Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Foreign Affairs

"If the fully planned and conditioned world comes into existence... the restive species [humanity]... will be vexed no longer by its chatter for truth and mercy and beauty and happiness... if the eugenics are efficient enough there will be no second revolt, but all snug beneath the Conditioners, and the Conditioners beneath her, till the moon falls or the sun grows cold." -- C. S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man, 1944

"As long as the family spirit endured, the man who fought against tyranny was never alone: he had clients, hereditary friends, and close relatives on his side. And if this support failed him, he still felt sustained by his ancestors and animated by his descendants." -- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835

"In a complex society, flexible people survive best, but school... rewards rigid, miserable rule-followers. To be effective and remain independent we need to know how to find things out, how to manage our own learning, but the day prison model school discourages learning for its own sake. Actual learning leads directly to low test scores. Whatever education happens in school happens despite school, not because of it." -- John Taylor Gatto, Weapons of Mass Instruction

"I have been often to, I guess, the mother ship in New York City [the Council on Foreign Relations], but it’s good to have an outpost of the Council right here down the street from the State Department. We get a lot of advice from the Council, so this will mean I won’t have as far to go to be told what we should be doing and how we should think about the future." -- Hillary Clinton

"The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births.” -- John P. Holdren, Ecoscience, 1977

"It’s absurd and anti-life to be part of a system that compels you to sit in confinement with people of exactly the same age and social class. That system effectively cuts you off from the immense diversity of life and the synergy of variety;  indeed it cuts you off from your own past and future, sealing you in a continuous present much the same way television does..." -- John Taylor Gatto, Dumbing us Down

"By the year 2000 all its common citizens should certainly be in touch with the thought of Continental Europe... its English language should be already rooting firmly through all the world beyond its confines... and discussing calmly with the public mind of the European, and probably of the Yellow state, the possible coalescences and conventions, the obliteration of custom-houses, the homologization of laws and coinage and measures... The American constitution and the British crown and constitution have to be modified or shelved at some stage in this synthesis..." -- H.G. Wells, Anticipations, 1901

"Philanthropy is the essential element in the making of Rockefeller power. It gives the Rockefellers a priceless reputation as public benefactors which the public values so highly that power over public affairs is placed in the Rockefellers' hands. Philanthropy generates more power than wealth alone can provide."' -Myer Kutz, Rockefeller Power

"People will have to accommodate themselves with the idea that their lives will be highly documented and that records provided both knowingly and unknowingly are part of a global digital future." -- Erica Orange, Mining Information from the Data Clouds, The Futurist, July-August edition

"What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth [environment] comes from the actions of the rich countries?... So, in order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about? This group of world leaders form a secret society to bring about an economic collapse." - Maurice Strong, May, 1990 interview with West Magazine describing a "novel" that he would like to write

"Within the next hundred years... nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single global authority. A phase briefly fashionable in the mid 20th century -- 'citizen of the world' --  will have assumed real meaning by the end of the 21st century." Strobe Talbot, Former Deputy Secretary of State, Time, July 20th, 1992.

"...it remains a fact that in almost every act of our lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons - a trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty million - who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind." -- Edward Bernays, Propaganda, 1928

"Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your road map through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should teach you what is important, how to live and how to die." -- John Taylor Gatto, Dumbing us Down

"The National parties and their presidential candidates, with the Eastern Establishment assiduously fostering the process behind the scenes, moved closer together and nearly met in the center with almost identical candidates and platforms although the process was concealed, as much as possible, by the revival of obsolescent or meaningless war cries and slogans." -- Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, 1975

"Among the droves of men with political ambitions in the United States, I found very few with that virile candor, that manly independence of thought, that often distinguished Americans in earlier times and that is invariably the preeminent trait of great characters wherever it exists." -- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835

"We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public's imagination... So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts... Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest." -- Stephen Schneider, Stanford Professor of Climatology, lead author of many IPCC reports, quoted in Discover, Oct. 1989, page 47

"THIRTY years from now, Americans, Japanese, Europeans, and people in many other rich countries and some relatively poor ones will probably be paying for their shopping with the same currency. Prices will be quoted not in dollars, yen or D-marks but in, let's say, the phoenix. The phoenix will be favoured by companies and shoppers because it will be more convenient than today's national currencies, which by then will seem a quaint cause of much disruption to economic life in the late twentieth century." -- The Economist, "Get Ready for a World Currency", 1988

"The ideal household [in early America] aimed to produce its own food, clothing, shelter, entertainment, transportation, medical care, education, child care, and social security. A large fraction of the population never got there, but as a City on the Hill to strive for it was an ennobling vision which some families, especially on the frontier, succeeded in making happen. It was this idea of being personally empowered, in contrast to the servile states of Europe and Asia, which acted as a magnet for the world's peoples - not the prospect of two cars, a house in the suburbs, and the latest computer junk." -- John Taylor Gatto, Weapons of Mass Instruction

"The new view is that the higher and more obligatory relation is to society rather than to the family; the family goes back to the age of savagery while the state belongs to the age of civilization. The modern individual is a world citizen, served by the world, and home interests can no longer be supreme." -- Dr. Arthur W. Calhoun, A Social History of The American Family: From Colonial Times to the Present, 1919

"Foreign Affairs, a quarterly published by the Council on Foreign Relations, an extremely influential private group that is sometimes called "the real State Department," needed a managing editor... Kissinger's friends promptly dashed off letters of recommendation." -- The biography of Henry Kissinger, by Martin L. Kalb & Bernard Kalb, page 51, 1974

"After a long life, and thirty years in the public school trenches, I've concluded that genius is as common as dirt. We suppress our genius only because we haven't yet figured out how to manage a population of educated men and women. The solution, I think, is simple and glorious. Let them manage themselves." -- John Taylor Gatto, Against School
 

"...Rep. Gearheart, of California states that J. Edgar Hoover has received information which as he puts it 'will result in very startling Pearl Harbor disclosures.' He quoted Hoover as saying he had alerted Honolulu agents 11 days before Pearl Harbor." -- U.S. Army Newsletter Homeward Bound, November 15, 1945
 

"Specifically to the Australian situation, the most effective counter-offensive to threatened invasion by overpopulated Asiatic countries would be directed towards the destruction by biological or chemical means of tropical food crops and the dissemination of infectious disease capable of spreading in tropical but not under Australian conditions." -- Sir Macfarlane Burnet, microbiologist and Nobel prize winner revered as Australia's greatest medical research scientist
 

"What we in America call terrorists are really groups of people that reject the international system..." -- Henry Kissinger, speaking at a conference hosted by AKbank in Istanbul Turkey on May 31, 2007, just prior to the scheduled Bilderberg meeting.
 

"Hitherto the plans of educationalists have achieved very little of what they attempted and indeed, when we read them - how Plato would have every infant 'a bastard nursed in a bureau',... and how Locke wants children to have leaky shoes and no turn for poetry - we may well thank the beneficent obstinacy of real mothers, real nurses, and (above all) real children for preserving the human race in such sanity as it still possesses. But the man-moulders of the new age will be armed with the powers of an omnicompetent state and an irresistible scientific technique..." -- C. S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man, 1944
 

"To achieve zero rate of population growth governments will have to do more than cajole; they will have to coerce." -- Frank Notestein, The Population Dilemma, 1969
 

"Countless people... will hate the new world order... and will die protesting against it... When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents..." - H.G. Wells, The New World Order (1939)
 

"It is not unknown for a people to take pleasure and pride of a sort of sacrificing their will to that of the prince, thereby marking a kind of independence of soul in the very act of obedience. In such nations degradation is far less common than misery. There is a great difference, moreover, between doing what one does not approve of and pretending to approve of what one does: one is the attitude of a man who is weak, the other a habit that only a lackey would acquire." -- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America
 

"It is to be expected that advances in physiology and psychology will give governments much more control over individual mentality than they now have even in totalitarian countries. Fichte laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished." -- Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society, 1952

"School trains children to be employees and consumers; teach your own to be leaders and adventurers. School trains children to obey reflexively; teach your own to think critically and independently. Well-schooled kids have a low threshold for boredom; help your own to develop an inner life so that they'll never be bored." -- John Taylor Gatto, Weapons of Mass Instruction

 

"Would there be any use at making attempts to counter-act the local fear on part of the residents of Salem and Gloucester counties through lectures on F (Fluoride) toxicology and perhaps the usefulness of F (Fluoride) in tooth health?" -- Harold Hodge, Chief toxicologist for the Manhattan Project, writing to Lt. Col. Rhodes on May 1, 1946

"During the spring of next year we see:

(1) A second larger wave of residential housing mortgage failures; (2) The first big wave of auto loan failures and repossessions; (3) Over $40 billion in credit card defaults, smashing the bank lenders; (4) The first wave of commercial mortgage failures and foreclosures on shopping malls, office buildings and other commercials; (5) And finally, the grand smashing finale of CDS Credit Default Swaps originated with No margin money or down payments!" -- Roger Wiegand

 

"The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth." -- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited
 

"Today's thinking toward a democratic world state is neither a new trend nor an accidental circumstance; the work of setting up the background of knowledge necessary to the establishing of enlightened democracy among all nations has been carried on for many hundreds of years by secret societies." -- Manly P. Hall, The Secret Destiny of America, 1944
 

"'Let us control the money of a country and we care not who makes its laws.' This is the maxim of the house of Rothschilds, and is the foundation principle of European banks. If a country and its people are mortgaged for the assessed value of their property, and the bankers control the money, the bondholders and not the people own that country. It makes no difference whether you call it a republic or a monarchy." -- Financial writer Daniel T. Gushing, testifying before the House and Senate Subcommittees on Banking and Currency, 1914
 

"It was not accidental [The crash of 1929]. It was a carefully contrived occurrence... The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so that they might emerge as rulers of us all." -- Congressman Louis T. McFadden, speaking before Congress on December 15, 1931

"A ruling group is a ruling group so long as it can nominate its successors. The Party is not concerned with perpetuating its blood but with perpetuating itself. Who wields power is not important, provided that the hierarchical structure remains always the same." -- George Orwell, 1984

"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." -- Barack Obama, July 2, 2008, speaking in Colorado Springs, Colorado  - VIDEO

"The government, being an oligarchy, will instill submissiveness into the great bulk of the population, confining initiative and the habit of command to its own members. It is possible that it may invent ingenious ways of concealing its own power, leaving the forms of democracy intact, and allowing the plutocrats to imagine that they are cleverly controlling these forms. Gradually, however, as the plutocrats become stupid through laziness, they will lose their wealth; it will pass more and more into public ownership and be controlled by the government of experts. Thus... all real power will come to be concentrated in the hands of those who understand the art of scientific manipulation." -- Bertrand Russell, The Scientific Outlook

"At that time, their [the Carnegie Endowment] interest shifts over to preventing what they call a reversion of life in the United States to what it was prior to 1914, when World War I broke out. At that point, they come to the conclusion that, to prevent a reversion, we must control education in the United States... So they approach the Rockefeller Foundation with a suggestion: that portion of education which could be considered domestic should be handled by the Rockefeller Foundation, and that portion which is international should be handled by the Endowment." -- Norman Dodd, Director of Research for the Reece Committee, in a 1982 interview with by G. Edward Griffin

"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, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)
3rd president of US

"The bargain struck between the foundations and the social scientists increasingly involved the State and shifted the balance toward the practical, technocratic side of the efforts to increase social control... Rockefeller philanthropy facilitated and pushed the social control ideology in this direction." -- Donald Fisher, Fundamental Development of the Social Sciences - Rockefeller philanthropy and the united states social science research council, 1993

“It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western world – it may be in the United States of America – that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event." -- General Tommy Franks in a 2003 interview with lifestyle magazine

"Intercultural conflict, weapons of mass destruction, and threats of environmental collapse are likely to force the move to some form of global community as the best means for managing such nagging problems." -- William E. Halal, Technology’s Promise: Highlights from the TechCast Project, The Futurist, Nov-Dec 2006

"Governments have, therefore, good reason to be friendly to science, so long as it can be kept from dangerous and subversive speculations. In the main the men of science have shown themselves amenable. The State favours one set of superstitions in Japan, and another in the West, but the scientists both in Japan and of the West have, with some exceptions, been willing to acquiesce in governmental doctrines, because most of them are citizens first, and servants of truth only in the second place." -- Bertrand Russell, The Scientific Outlook, 1931

"I have heard Americans speak of their homeland. I have met with true patriotism among the people; I have often searched for it in vain among their leaders. This fact is easily understood by analogy: despotism corrupts the person who submits to it far more than the person who imposes it. In absolute monarchies, the king often has great virtues, but the courtiers are always vile." -- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835

"We need a program of psychosurgery for political control of our society. The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated. The individual may think that the most important reality is his own existence, but this is only his personal point of view. . . Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. . . . We must electronically control the brain. Someday armies and generals will be controlled by electronic stimulation of the brain." -- Dr. Jose M.R. Delgado, Director of Neuropsychiatry, Yale University Medical School, Congressional Record, No. 26, Vol. 118, February 24, 1974.

"Acceptance of these elements calls for a reinterpretation of the concept of national sovereignty. Participation and social control suggest a functional rather than a territorial interpretation of sovereignty, or jurisdiction over determined uses rather than geographical space. Conceptually, this interpretation will make possible the progressive internationalization and socialization of all world resources - material and non-material - based upon the 'common heritage of mankind' principle." -- RIO: Reshaping the International Order, 1976

"Emerging technologies in information-sensoring indicate an authoritarian, predominantly military, strategy for Earth monitoring... If such an irreversible shift is made towards digitally-rendered societies this would arguably ‘lock-in’ a form of monitored control society. With such predictions of an increasingly sensored and enmeshed global system it is difficult to see how living ‘off the Net’ will be a choice in the near future." -- Dr. Kingsley Dennis, Global Gridlock: How the US Military-Industrial Complex Seeks to Contain and Control the Earth and Its Eco-System

"One other item which Unesco should put on its programme as soon as possible is the study of the application of psycho-analysis and other schools of "deep" psychology to education. [...] This would mean an extension of education backwards from the nursery school to the nursery itself." -- Sir Julian Sorell Huxley, UNESCO Its Purpose and Its Philosophy, 1946

"A part of the French debt is the result of two invasions; the Union [United States] has nothing to fear in this regard. Our position requires us to keep a large number of men in arms at all times. The Union's isolation allows it to have only 6,000 soldiers. We maintain nearly 300 vessels. The Americans have only 52." -- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835

"The organization of this that I call the Open Conspiracy, which will ultimately supply teaching, coercive and direct public services to the whole world, is the immediate task before all people, a planned world-state is appearing at a thousand points. When accident (or crisis) finally precipitates it, its coming is likely to happen very quickly. Sometimes I feel that generations of propaganda and education may have to precede it. There must be a common faith and law for mankind. The main battle is an educational battle" -- H. G. Wells, Experiment in Autobiography, 1934

"The greatest triumphs of applied science so far have been in the realm of physics and chemistry. When people think of scientific technique they think primarily of machines. It seems probable that in the near future science will achieve equal triumphs in biological and physiological directions, and will ultimately acquire as much power to change men's minds as it already has power to deal with our inanimate environment." -- Bertrand Russell, The Scientific Outlook, 1931

"Machine vision is an approach to the IoT [Internet of Things] that can monitor objects having no onboard sensors, controllers, or wireless interfaces. For example, some developers propose that cameras on typical cell phones can capture images of objects; using image-processing algorithms, distant servers can identify such objects and report information about them. In other words, machine vision could be a channel for delivering the same type of information that RFIDs enable." -- Disruptive Civil Technologies - Six Technologies with Potential Impacts on US Interests out to 2025

"It appears what the United Nations needs to do is to recommend to all nations... adoption of laws which will... actually lead to the sterilization of all persons who are inadequate, either biologically or socially, and encourage the voluntary sterilization of normal persons who have had their share of children." -- Guy Irving Burch, Human Breeding and Survival, 1947

"By pioneering in the integration of nation-states into a shared supranational economic and eventually political union, Europe is also pointing the way toward larger forms of postnational organization, beyond the narrow visions and the destructive passions of the age of nationalism." -- Zbigniew Brzezinski, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives, page 57

"Gradually, by selective breeding the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organised insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton." -- Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society, page 61

"The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and communism under the same tent, all under their control...Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent." -- Congressman Larry P. McDonald, writing in the introduction of The Rockefeller File, by Garry Allen, 1975

"The convergence of Web technology, wireless networks and portable client devices provide new opportunities for computer communications systems designs. At HP Labs we have been exploring these opportunities through an infrastructure to support “web presence” for people, places and things. Our goal is a bridge between the World Wide Web and the physical world we inhabit... It also includes the ability to provide people, places and things – electronic or otherwise – with a web resource that is used to store information about them and which is automatically correlated with their physical presence." -- Hewlett Packard: People, Places, Things: Web Presence for the Real World

"What can be foreseen right now is that if the Americans did abandon the republic, they would move quickly to despotism without tarrying for long in monarchy. Montesquieu said that there is nothing more absolute than the authority of a prince who succeeds a republic, because the indefinite powers once fearlessly entrusted to elected officials would then be placed in the hands of a hereditary leader." -- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America (1835)

"Whatever attitude one chooses toward this condition, it remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons... who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses." -- Edward Bernays, Propaganda, page 37-38

"The establishment of a New International Economic Order entails fundamental changes in political, social, cultural and other aspects of society, changes which would bring about a New International Order." - RIO: Reshaping the International Order, 1976

"A nation that asks nothing of government but the maintenance of order is already a slave in the depths of its heart; it is a slave of its well-being, ready for the man who will put it in chains." -- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, page 631

"There is a chance for the President of the United States to use this disaster [meaning the attacks of September 11, 2001] to carry out what his father…a phrase his father used I think only once, and it hasn’t been used since…and that is a new world order." -- Gary Hart, former U.S. Senator and National Security Consultant, stated on Sept. 12, 2001 on CSPAN

"We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands." -- Arnold Toynbee, "The Trend of International Affairs Since the War", International Affairs, November 1931, p. 809

"If then there is ever to be a world government, it will have to function as governments do now, in the sense that it will have to coerce a minority - and indeed it may often be a majority - into doing things they do not want to do." -- Charles Galton Darwin, The Next Million Years, 1952

"Generally speaking, only simple conceptions can grip the mind of a nation. An idea that is clear and precise even though false will always have greater power in the world than an idea that is true but complex." -- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835

"The biggest problem is the damn national sectors of these developing countries. These countries think that they have the right to develop their resources as they see fit. They want to become powers, sovereign states and they work out strategies... we thought that we could control things better by reasoning with these leaders, these nationalist fools." -- Thomas Lovejoy, former Vice President of the World Wildlife Fund, as quoted in a 1983 interview contained in the Club of Life White Paper "International Bankers' Real Agenda: Global Depopulation". This interview was reprinted in the Executive Intelligence Review special report from May 1992.

"In its more developed phases I seem to see the New Republic as a sort of outspoken Secret Society, with which even the prominent men of the ostensible state may be openly affiliated." - H.G. Wells, Anticipations: Of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress upon Human life and Thought

"The men of the New Republic will not be squeamish, either, in facing or inflicting death, because they will have a fuller sense of the possibilities of life than we possess. They will have an ideal that will make killing worth the while..." - H.G. Wells, Anticipations: Of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress upon Human life and Thought, 1901

"It is also a fact that America is too democratic at home to be autocratic abroad. This limits the use of America's power, especially its capacity for military intimidation. Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the public's sense of domestic well-being." - Zbigniew Brzezinski, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives, page 35

"All the weight of the Open Conspiracy will be on the side of the world order and against that sort of local independence which holds back its subject people from the citizenship of the world." - H.G. Wells, The Open Conspiracy (1928)

"Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible." - Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society, page 61

"Eventually, the whole earth and its resources being finite, the human race must limit its growth to zero, and adopt for the whole world Chairman Mao's concept for China of a stable replacement-only population." - William Draper, Jr.

This statement (from William Draper) can be found in the record of a 1973 Congressional hearing titled "Health care in China, 1973: Hearing, Ninety-third Congress, First session" Parts of this hearing can be seen here.
 

"...the problem of the increasing populations - perhaps the greatest threat facing humanity - cannot be solved in a way consistent with humanity." - Fairfield Osborn, "Our Plundered Planet", 1948

“The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence and submergence into an all powerful one world government.” - Admiral Chester Ward, former CFR member and Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy

"Networks, like schools, are not communities, just as school training is not education. By preempting fifty percent of the total time of the young... by ringing bells to start and stop work, by asking people to think about the same thing at the same time in the same way, by grading people the way we grade vegetables, network schools steal the vitality of communities and replace it with an ugly mechanism. No one survives these places with their humanity intact, not kids, not teachers, not administrators, and not parents." - John Taylor Gatto, Dumbing us Down

"This subject [mass psychology] will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship... Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen." -- Bertrand Russel, The Impact of Science on Society (1952) page 41
