“The potential savings in the national budgets from the elimination of police, criminal courts, standing armies, pollution control agencies, drug enforcement, and many poverty programs is almost beyond calculation.” PovertyDrugProgramStandingArmyPoliceCourtCriminalsSavingBudgetsAgencyPollutionEnforcementSavingsCalculationsEliminationPollution Control Book:The Collected Works of Pat Robertson: The New Millennium/the New World Order/the Secret Kingdom/3 Books in 1 Source: The Collected Works of Pat Robertson: The New Millennium/the New World Order/the Secret Kingdom/3 Books in 1
“The civil rights movement didn't deal with the issue of political disenfranchisement in the Northern cities. It didn't deal with the issues that were happening in places like Detroit, where there was a deep process of deindustrialization going on. So you have this response of angry young people, with a war going on in Vietnam, a poverty program that was insufficient, and police brutality. All these things gave rise to the black power movement. The black power movement was not a separation from the civil rights movement, but a continuation of this whole process of democratization.” PeopleWarWholeYoungPoliticalProcessBlackDealsCitiesPovertyIssuesRightsMovementHappeningsProgramPoliceAngryResponseSeparationCivil RightsVietnamPolice BrutalityBrutalityCivil Rights MovementDetroitInsufficientContinuumDemocratizationBlack PowerDisenfranchisement Author:Danny Glover
“Coercion is as much the tool of the welfare state as it is of communism. The programs and edicts of both are backed by the police force.

“I made this bad joke on Twitter saying, "I want to put in my first no-bid contract to train the Libyan army and police force." These counter-insurgency guys like to say, "We don't do the big F-16 or big boondoggle projects, we're not pulling this stuff because it's good business." But in fact it turns out there are tons of business opportunities involving counter-insurgency operations - and it's not like we're getting rid of the boondoggle programs either, we're just doing more of everything.” GuyOpportunityJokesProgramArmyPoliceTrainGood Business Author:Michael Hastings
“We pass bills authorizing improvements and grants.

“Experts and the educated elite have replaced what worked with what sounded good.
