Bet On It! Food For Thought - 20 - All Governments

"All governments suffer a reoccurring problem: power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted." -- Frank Herbert

"The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out ... without regard to the prevailing superstitions & taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable." -- H. L. Menchen

Nothing in this world operates as you think it does. Government no longer serves you. it serves Banks, Finance. Which no longer loan money, they create debt. These institutions are protected. You are taught to obey in school. Which is no longer an institution of learning & critical objective thinking. But have become another method of indoctrination. Designed to make you passively accept a culture, which is no longer created by individuals. But by the very society that depends on your obedience.

Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly toward aristocratic forms. No government in history has been known to evade this pattern. And as the aristocracy develops, governments tends more & more to act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class - whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs of financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy." - Frank Herbert

"The worship of state is the worship of force. There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men. The worst evils which mankind ever had to endure were inflicted by bad governments. The stat can be & has ofetn been in the course of history the main source of mischief & disaster."-- Ludwig von Mises
