Establishment Quotes

“A utopian system, when established by men, is likely to be synonymous with a dystopian depression. The only way for perfect peace by man is absolute control of all wrongs. Bully-cultures find this: with each and every mistake, another village idiot is shamed into nothingness and mindlessly shut down by the herd. This is a superficial peace made by force and by fear, one in which there is no freedom to breathe; and the reason it is impossible for man to maintain freedom and peace for everyone at the same time. Christ, on the other hand, transforms, instead of controls, by instilling his certain inner peace. This is the place where one realizes that only his holiness is and feels like true freedom, rather than like imprisonment, and, too, why Hell, I imagine, a magnified version of man's never-ending conflict between freedom and peace, would be the flesh's ultimate utopia - yet its ultimate regret.”

“Traditions, with all their folksy redolences, are relatively safe matters for scholars to speculate about. Maps and nautical charts on the other hand -- especially accurate, sophisticated maps of the kind used by Guzarate to chart Vasco da Gama's course from Malindi to Calicut in 1498 -- are quite another matter. If maps have indeed come down to us containing recognizable representations of Ice Age topography -- as arguably may be the case with the depictions of India and of the long-submerged Sundaland peninsula by Cantino and Reinal and with the depiction of the 'Golden Chersonese' by Ptolemy -- then prehistory cannot be as it has hitherto been presented to us. If they are what they seem, such maps mean a lost civilization. Nothing more. Nothing less.”

“If a failure to preserve and consider potentially controversial evidence has frustrated a full understanding of the Hypogeum, then the same is also true for the megalithic temples and even the prehistoric cave sites in Malta. Thus, Mifsud points out that archaeologists excavating Ghar Dalam cave in the early twentieth century [...] 'discovered several knives, scrapers, borers and burins in previously undisturbed deposits, and although stratigraphically Pleistocene, they have been arbitrarily attributed to the Neolithic'.”

“In the United States there is a unique blend of patriotism indoctrination from the pulpit which blends establishment controls into the religious ideology. This way, to question the establishment is to question God, therefore one’s patriotism and salvation is contingent on their submission to the state.”

“So what was going on in Malta that led to all this? Why did the first megalithic temple-builders in the world choose to make things so difficult for themselves? Why didn't they start with small megaliths (if that is not too serious a contradiction in terms)? Why didn't they start simple? Why did they plunge straight into the very complicated stuff, like Gigantija and the Hypogeum? And, having plunged, how did they manage to produce such magnificent results? Was it beginner's luck? Or were their achievements as humanity's pioneering architects the product of some sort of heritage? Beginner's luck is possible, but having studied the earliest temples, and their level of perfection, archaeologists agree that heritage is the right answer. The only problem is what heritage? And where is it to be looked for? Since it is the received wisdom that no human beings lived on Malta before 5200 BC, and since this is a 'fact' that is at present unquestioned anywhere within conventional scholarship, archaeologists from roughly the mid-twentieth century onwards have simply seen no reason to explore the possibility that the heritage of the Maltese temples might be older than 5200 BC. To do so would be the research equivalent of an oxymoron -- like breeding dodos, trying to conduct an interview with William Shakespeare or seeking evidence that the earth is flat -- and would invite the ridicule of one's peers.”

“Imagine what we could achieve if everyone were given a proper chance in life rather than being herded, controlled and patronised by the powers that be. Eventually all of the new voices on the internet will amount to a great shout that will bring down the walls of the Power Elite like the tired walls of old Jericho. Don’t let anyone crush your creativity. Don’t let anyone censor you. Don’t let anyone control you. Say No to the Abrahamists. You are not alone.”

“বম্বে ২০/৫ সুনীল তোর দীর্ঘ চিঠি পেলাম । তোর মানসিক অবস্হা জেনে যথেষ্ট কষ্ট পেয়েছি। শক্তিকে আমরাই এত বড় করে তুলেছি । এর মূল দায়িত্ব তোর, আমার ও মলয়ের । এবং এখনো আমার প্রতিটি বন্ধুকে বড় করেই তুলতে চাই আমি । শক্তিকে লেখার জন্য প্রাথমিক উৎসাহ তুইই দিয়েছিলি । বারেবারে বাহবা দিয়ে “বাংলাদেশের শ্রেষ্ঠ কবি” একথা তুইই প্রথম তুলেছিস । অর্থাৎ শুধু এই যে আজ শক্তি সেকথা নিজে বলছে । চাইবাসায় থাকতেই তোকে বাদ দিয়ে শিল্পের সিংহাসনে বসার একটা ঘোরতর প্ল্যান উৎপল ও শক্তি অনেকদিন আগেই করেছিল । আমাকেও উপস্হিত থাকতে হয়েছিল এই সব আলোচনায় । পত্রিকা বের করার প্ল্যান তখনই হয়। আন্দোলনের ব্যাপারটাও মলয় বারবার তাগাদা দিতে থাকে । আমি বরাবরই কৃত্তিবাসকে ছাড়তে পারব না জানিয়েছি । নানান সেন্টিমেন্টাল কারণে কৃত্তিবাসকে আমি আমার নিজের পত্রিকা মনে করি । অনেকের মতন ‘সুনীলের কাগজ’ মনে করা সম্ভব নয় । শক্তি ও উৎপল তোকে বাদ দিয়ে ‘জেব্রা’ বার করতে পারবে কিনা মনে হয় না । অন্তত মলয় এটা হতে দেবে না। তাছাড়া সমস্ত নীচতার মধ্যেও সূক্ষ্ম বোধশক্তির দংশন শক্তিও এড়াতে পারবে না । আমাদের মধ্যে একটা ভাঙন গড়ে উঠবে এ আমার বিশ্বাস হয় না । হলে শক্তিরই প্রচণ্ড ক্ষতি হবে । টাকাপয়সার দরকার ওর শিল্পের জন্যও, শীলাও আছে, দার্শনিক ঋণও প্রয়োজন, সমীর ও মলয়কে ও সেইসঙ্গে সুনীলকে বাদ দিলে যে মারাত্মক অবস্হায় ও পড়বে তা ও জানে । আমাকে শক্তি লিখেছে ‘জেব্রা’য় তোর লেখা থাকছে । বেরোতে নাকি মাস দুয়েক দেরি । বরং উৎপলই একটু বেশিমাত্রায় তোর বিরোধী । হয়তো ঈর্ষা, হয়তো অন্য কোনো কারণ । উৎপলকে খুশি রাখতে গিয়ে হয়তো এই সব জটিলতায় শক্তি বাধ্য হচ্ছে । মলয়ের অভিমান এই যে তুই ওকে বিন্দুমাত্র স্নেহ করিস না ; নিতান্ত ছেলেমানুষী । সেবার শীলা পাটনায় ভর্তি হতে গেলে শক্তিকে পাটনায় নিয়ে যাই আমি । সেখানে মলয় ওকে এই আন্দোলন সম্পর্কে Convince করে । ছোটোগল্পে লিখেছে যে গল্পটা, তারই প্লট ও প্ল্যান মলয় শক্তিকে দেয় ( ক্ষুৎকাতর আক্রমণ )। ঠিক হয় যে কলকাতায় গিয়ে পুস্তিকা বের করে ব্যাপারটা আরম্ভ হবে । আমরা সবাই থাকবো। তুইও নিশ্চয়ই । আমাদের পরবর্তী নির্দেশের অপেক্ষা না করেই শক্তি কলকাতায় ফিরেই ব্যাপারটা আরম্ভ করে দেয় । এদিকে ট্রেনিং-এ চলে আসতে হয় আমাকে । মলয় পাটনায় । কলকাতায় শক্তি একা নানান ভাবে নিজের স্বপক্ষে সিংহাসন গড়ে তোলে ক্রমে । তুই ব্যাপারটায় যোগ না দেওয়ায়, যেটা ভুল-বোঝাবুঝিতে পেছিয়ে গেছে, আজ অবস্হা এখানে এসে দাঁড়িয়েছে। এটা মলয়ও বলেছে ।”

“Soon after the news broke about these published conclusions [regarding the evidence of a Palaeolithic human presence on Malta] and their stark contradiction of the orthodox view on Malta's prehistory, the Italian team distanced itself from its initial Palaeolithic leanings and claimed instead that the depictions in Ghar Hasan are 'out of context' -- which indeed they are if one is only prepared to countenance a Neolithic context for the earliest human presence in Malta. Another development at about the same time was that the Ghar Hasan cave began to be vandalized, and the paintings defaced or completely removed, a process that continued over a long period. The result, which would have caused an international furore anywhere else but Malta, is that today: 'The only depictions which have survived, unless more are obscured by stalagmitic material on the cavern walls, are the two handprints in red pigment in Gallery D ... Vandalism not of the popular type has destroyed and obscured the entire repertoire of images on the accessible areas.”

“Mifsud notes that J. D. Evans had graduated from Cambridge in 1949 and that in the early 1950s he was 'in desperate need of a PhD'. The thesis that the future Professor of Prehistoric Archaeology at the University of London chose to develop, influenced by the Italian archaeologist Barnarbo Brea, was that the very first human inhabitants of the previously unpeopled Malta had been immigrants from the Neolithic Stentinello culture of Sicily -- a theory that is still part of the conventional academic wisdom about Malta today. In pursuing this thesis, Mifsud suggests, it was not convenient to the young Evans to have to deal with the evidence of the Ghar Dalam teeth that suggested a prior, Palaeolithic, human presence in Malta. This, then, either as a conscious or unconscious motive, could explain why Evans was so vehement in his attacks on the antiquity of the taurodonts [that could belong to Neanderthals] and so economical with the truth in his published statements about them. He wanted them out of the way -- permanently -- of his own theory about Malta's first inhabitants.”

“The Jews might have had Uganda, Madagascar, and other places for the establishment of a Jewish Fatherland, but they wanted absolutely nothing except Palestine, not because the Dead Sea water by evaporation can produce five trillion dollars of metaloids and powdered metals; not because the sub-soil of Palestine contains twenty times more petroleum than all the combined reserves of the two Americas; but because Palestine is the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, because Palestine constitutes the veritable center of world political power, the strategic center for world control.”

“I have to say, as someone who is not a Christian, it’s hard for me to believe Christians are a persecuted people in America. God willing, maybe one of you one day will even rise up and get to be president of this country — or maybe forty-four in a row. But that’s my point, is they’ve taken this idea of no establishment as persecution, because they feel entitled, not to equal status, but to greater status.”

“Is the appointment of Chaplains to the two Houses of Congress consistent with the Constitution, and with the pure principle of religious freedom? In strictness the answer on both points must be in the negative. The Constitution of the U. S. forbids everything like an establishment of a national religion. The law appointing Chaplains establishes a religious worship for the national representatives, to be performed by Ministers of religion, elected by a majority of them, and these are to be paid out of the national taxes. Does this not involve the principle of a national establishment ... ?”

“Every change in conditions will make necessary some change in the use of resources, in the direction and kind of human activities, in habits and practices. And each change in the actions of those affected in the first instance will require further adjustments that will gradually extend through the whole of society. Every change thus in a sense creates a "problemfor society, even though no single individual perceives it as such; it is gradually "solvedby the establishment of a new overall adjustment.”

“The reality is that while heliocentrism was discussed and often accepted within Catholic circles - it was effectively the only place where it could be - the more traditional view of the solar system still prevailed even among leading scientists. So it's hardly surprising that Galileo's Catholic judges had difficult accepting his views, especially when they saw themselves as defending scientific orthodoxy and were supported in this by the scientific establishment.”

“To an extent that undermines classical standards of science, some purported scientific results concerning 'HIV' and 'AIDS' have been handled by press releases, by disinformation, by low-quality studies, and by some suppression of information, manipulating the media and people at large. When the official scientific press does not report correctly, or obstructs views dissenting from those of the scientific establishment, it loses credibility and leaves no alternative but to find information elsewhere.”
