“The most upsetting thing is that the US is a leader in the world, and if they don't sign, then how do you expect to convince Russian and China and Iran, Pakistan, all these other countries, to sign? They simply won't. (The US government) feels it's against their constitutional right to bear arms, or they've said that it's needed in North and South Korea, on the border. I don't think any of these are good enough excuses for the damage.” IfsThinkingWorldFeelsSaidCountryEnoughGovernmentLeaderArmsBearsNeededSouthExcuseChinaBordersUpsetDamageConvinceIranGood EnoughOther CountriesPakistanKoreaRight To Bear ArmsSouth KoreaNorth And SouthLandmines Author:Angelina Jolie
“It certainly makes sense to expand the pulp industry in Indonesia, .. It's clear that it will be a very competitive exporter of pulp to the rest of the world, including China and India.

“When the history of the 20th century is finally written, one of its key features will be the wanton slaughter of more than 170 million people, not in war, but by their own government. The governments that led in this slaughter are the former USSR (65 million) and the Peoples Republic of China (35-40 million). The point to remember is that these governments were the idols of America's leftists. Part of the reason for these and other tyrannical successes was because the people were first disarmed.” PeopleFirstsWarReasonGovernmentAmericaRememberMillionsWrittenCenturyKeysChinaFormerFeaturesRepublicIdols20th CenturySlaughterLeftistsWantonUssr Author:Walter E.

“Two world wars, three monstrous dictatorships-in Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, Red China-plus every lesser variant of devastating socialist experimentation in a global spread of brutality and despair, have not prompted modern intellectuals to question or revise their dogma. They still think that it is daring, idealistic and unconventional to denounce the rich.

“Not in the name of a necessary protection of the white race did the European break into China, but for the benefit of the Jewish-mercantile greed for profit. He thus dishonored himself, destroying a whole civilization, provoking justified indignation.
