“Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are US government institutions. They are not... they are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the US for the benefit of themselves and their foreign and domestic swindlers, and rich and predatory money lenders. The sack of the United States by the Fed is the greatest crime in history. Every effort has been made by the Fed to conceal its powers, but the truth is the Fed has usurped the government. It controls everything here and it controls all our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will.” PeopleThinkingHas BeensMadeStatesGovernmentUnitedMoneyEffortBreakUnited StatesRichCrimeTruth IsBenefitsEconomicsRelationInstitutionsCreditFedsReservesBankingTaxationPreyMonopolyFederal ReservePredatoryLendersForeign RelationsSwindlersMoney Lenders Author:Louis Thomas McFadden
“Japan's diplomatic efforts could have had a broader international perspective. Relations with the U.S. are, of course, the cornerstone of Japan's diplomacy, but the U.S. acts on its global strategy.

“You also had in Detroit that summer, an early variation of Ferguson. A black prostitute was shot in the back by police.

“I will say that the difference was that when you're an Army journalist, as opposed to a civilian correspondent covering the military, you're very often either a public relations agent or expected to perform that role. I would say that one of the most unexpected benefits of that job was being taught to never try to cover anything up, but rather to get any bad information out right away, so that there would be nothing more to come out later. This was a wonderful lesson to be taught because often the effort to cover up a story becomes a bigger story than the original one.” TryingEffortWonderfulMilitaryArmyRelationJournalistUnexpectedPublic Relations Author:Clarence Page
“Part of what the food industry does with public relations, just like the chemical industry or the oil industry, is to try to erase their fingerprints from their messaging. So when consumers hear about a recent effort like the "food dialogues" put on by a group called the US Farmers and Ranchers Alliance, do they know necessarily that these "dialogues" are being funded by companies like Monsanto, a large chemical company and the controller of most of the patents on genetically modified seeds? No, they don't.” TryingEffortRelationDialogueFarmersErasePublic Relations Author:Anna Lappe
“Conversations are efforts toward good relations. They are an elementary form of reciprocity. They are the exercise of our love for each other. They are the enemies of our loneliness, our doubt, our anxiety, our tendencies to abdicate. To continue to be in good conversation over our enormous and terrifying problems is to be calling out to each other in the night. If we attend with imagination and devotion to our conversations, we will find what we need; and someone among us will act—it does not matter whom—and we will survive.” IfsNeedsDoeMatterProblemFormNightImaginationEffortEnemyDoubtLonelinessExerciseCallingConversationAnxietyRelationEnormousDevotionTendenciesOur LoveReciprocityGood Conversation Author:Barry Lopez
“But nirvana is a radical transformation of how it feels to be alive: it feels as if everything were myself, or as if everything---including "my" thoughts and actions---were happening of itself. There are still efforts, choices, and decisions, but not the sense that "I make them"; they arise of themselves in relation to circumstances. This is therefore to feel life, not as an encounter between subject and object, but as a polarized field where the contest of opposites has become the play of opposites.” IfsFeelsStillsPlayActionChoicesDecisionEffortAliveSubjectsFieldsObjectsCircumstancesHappeningsOppositesRelationTransformationIncludingAriseRadicalEncountersContestsMy ThoughtsThoughts And ActionsChoices And Decisions Book:Psychotherapy East & West Source: Psychotherapy East & West
