“I will say that again in a different way: the persistent unethical and ignorant emphasis on secrecy and on making decisions for partisan advantage or to pay off campaign contributors and select insiders is not sustainable.

This is why I am optimistic about the future.” InformationTransparencyOpen Source Book:The Open-Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth, and Trust Source: The Open-Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth, and Trust
“Most terrorists are false flag terrorists, or are created by our own security services. In the United States, every single terrorist incident we have had has been a false flag, or has been an informant pushed on by the FBI.

“I am a patriot. I have always sought to serve my country, in theory a Republic. Learning that secrecy was evil rather than good was my first step. From there it was a steady march toward open-source everything. Now I see all the evil that secrecy enables in a corrupt Congress, a corrupt Executive, a corrupt economy, and a corrupt society. I see that the greatest service I or any other person can render to the Republic is to march firmly, non-violently, toward open-source everything.” FirstsPersonsCountryEvilStepsEconomyTheorySourceCongressExecutivesMarchRepublicSteadyFirst StepsPatriotSecrecyOpen SourceCorrupt Society Author:Robert David Steele
“Public agency is emergent, and the ability of the public to literally put any bank or corporation out of business overnight is looming. To paraphrase Abe Lincoln, you cannot screw all of the people all of the time. We're there. All we lack is a major precipitant – our Tunisian fruit seller. When it happens the revolution will be deep and lasting.” PeopleHappensAbilityRevolutionMajorsFruitCorporationsAgencyLastingScrewsSellersLoomingParaphraseAbe Author:Robert David Steele
