“We are disturbed about the effect of the Jewish influence on our press, radio, and motion pictures. It may become very serious. (Fulton) Lewis told us of one instance where the Jewish advertising firms threatened to remove all their advertising from the Mutual System if a certain feature was permitted to go on the air. The threat was powerful enough to have the feature removed.” IfsMayEnoughCertainPowerfulAirInfluenceEffectsSeriousGoes OnPressesThreatRadioJewAdvertisingInstanceFirmFeaturesRemoveMutualThreatenedDisturbedMotion Pictures Author:Charles Lindbergh
“While the game of deadlocks and bottle-necks goes on, another more serious game is also being played. It is governed by two axioms. One is that there can be no peace without a general surrender of sovereignty: the other is that no country capable of defending its sovereignty ever surrenders it. If one keeps these axioms in mind one can generally see the relevant facts in international affairs through the smoke-screen with which the newspapers surround them.” IfsMindTwoCountryFactsGamesSeriousGoes OnCapableAffairInternationalScreensNewspapersSurrenderSmokeNecksBottlesSurroundRelevantSovereigntyAxiomsBeing PlayedInternational Affairs Book:The Collected Essays, Journalism and Letters of George Orwell: In front of your nose, 1945-1950 Source: The Collected Essays, Journalism and Letters of George Orwell: In front of your nose, 1945-1950

“I firmly believe that every six years, a person goes through a serious change. Think about it: At 6, you start school. At about 12, you start hitting puberty. And then it goes on. You start hitting these different mental levels, and people change.

“Balochistan, and to some extent Sindh too, has a general feeling that they are not part of the decision-making process in Pakistan and are ruled by a Punjabi dictatorship. There is a lot of exploitation of the rich resources [in Balochistan] which the locals are not gaining from. As long as this goes on, it is going to keep providing grounds for serious uprisings and insurgencies.” LongFeelingsProcessDecisionRichSeriousGoes OnResourcesLocalsDecision MakingProvidingDictatorshipExploitationPakistanUprisingInsurgencyDecision Making ProcessPunjabis Author:Noam Chomsky
“I hate being too serious about anything. If I'm with my friend, I want to be having fun with him or her. And if anybody is reading my story, I want them to be not only reading the story, but I want them to feel they're having fun; that they're enjoying it. So any way you can make it more informal, more fun-filled, more amusing - instead of just a dry story that goes on and on - if there's any way to do that, I like to try and do it.” IfsWayWantFeelsTryingStoriesHateReadingFunEnjoySeriousGoes OnMy FriendsI HateFilledHaving FunDryAmusing Author:Stan Lee
