“Political monopoly and economic monopoly are two sides of the same coin, two heads of the same monster. Despite all the claims to the contrary, the essential ideology of Neo-Conservatism is to preserve the status quo, with all of its injustices. Its public relations experts call for "freedom and democracy" without a framework of higher values. They fail to comprehend the need for a paradigm of justice and therefore are blind to what concerns most of the people in the world. This failure is the taproot of terrorism.” PeopleWorldNeedsTwoPoliticalValuesPoliticsSidesJusticeEconomyDemocracyFailingEconomicHigherEssentialsConcernClaimsRelationBlindInjusticeTerrorismContraryMonstersDespiteIdeologyPreservesExpertsLiberalismStatus QuoCoinsMonopolyConservatismFrameworkParadigmTwo SidesPublic RelationsTwo Heads Author:Robert Dickson Crane

The truth of the matter is buried under edifice after edifice of lies upon lies. It's all been a marvelous success from the point of view in deterring the threat of democracy, achieved under conditions of freedom, which is extremely interesting. It's not like a totalitarian state, where it's done by force. These achievements are under conditions of freedom.” WorldMatterStatesDoneRealityAmericaLyingForceInterestingViewsDemocracyMiddleConditionsAchievementPicksRelationThreatInternationalTerrorismPoint Of ViewEastBuriedMiddle EastMarvelousTopicsEdificeCentral AmericaTotalitarian StateInternational Terrorism Book:Media Control: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda Source: Media Control: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda
“I always maintain that playing in an orchestra intelligently is the best school for democracy. If you play a solo, the conductor and everybody in the orchestra follows you. Then, a few bars later, the main voice goes to another instrument, another group, and then you have to go back into the collective [sound]. The art of playing in an orchestra is being able to express yourself to the maximum but always in relation to something else that is going on.” IfsArtPlayAbleSchoolSoundVoiceDemocracyGroupsRelationInstrumentsBarsCollectivesSoloOrchestraMaximumExpress YourselfConductorBest School Author:Daniel Barenboim
