“You can solo-climb Everest without using oxygen or you can pay guides and Sherpas to carry your loads, put ladders across crevasses, lay in 6,000 feet of fixed ropes, and have one Sherpa pulling you and another pushing you. ...

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.” MenNextGraceDogDangerousHabitDignityMethodLaysPropertyIslamThis LifeCurseProphetInsecurityFollowersApathyFearfulCommerceAgricultureSanctityRefinementFrenzySluggishRadical IslamProselytizing Book:Churchill: The Power of Words Source: Churchill: The Power of Words
“I do not believe Federal Government fear me at all, they know the truth. They know I am not a dangerous person, they hold me as a hostage to discourage other people from possibly standing up to their valued system. In their minds, right or wrong the public is expected to lay down for them. You see examples of this, at the Ruby Ridge massacre and the Waco massacre, where they killed all those children and group members.” PeopleKnowsMindBelieveChildrenPersonsGovernmentGroupsDangerousExampleMembersStandingLaysExpectedFederal GovernmentDiscouragingHostageMassacresHold MeRubiesRidgesFear Me Author:Leonard Peltier
“I think California is playing a game of brinkmanship that's very dangerous.
