“Work is, after all not just a means to sustenance, it is also a form of social control: It occupies our time, structures our lives and channels passions. When work disappears, social organization breaks down.” From, “Lockdown America”
“Twenty-two million black men! They have given America four hundred years of toil; they have bled and died in every battle since the Revolution; they were in America before the Pilgrims, and long before the mass immigrations- and they are still today at the bottom of everything!” -Malcolm X

“A grand game of chess is being played on a level that we can barely imagine, and we are the pawns.

Those who have seriously studied history have probably discovered the real reason we go to war on a regularly scheduled basis.” -William Cooper
“Hypnosis is a disorientation of the inhibitory processes of the conscious mind, bypassing the analytical mind so that one becomes highly responsive to suggestions and information in the subconscious mind. As the conscious mind is busy and preoccupied trying to figure things out, the subconscious mind takes it all in without discretion. If you can disorient people with information (or in today’s world, disinformation), shock, or confusion, you just opened the door to programming their subconscious mind.” -Dr. Joe Dispenza
“A man is worked upon by what he works on. He may carve out his circumstances, but his circumstances will carve him out as well.” -Frederick Douglass
“The force of education is so great that we may mold the minds and manners of the young into whatever shape we please and give the impressions of such habits as shall ever afterwards remain.” -Atterbury
“Sometimes, at deep unconscious levels, people do not really wish to find answers to problems that they obsessively complain about…There is the conscious awareness, perhaps, of the need to know the whole truth and understand in depth; but below this surface, there is the more powerful need to maintain the status quo, which depth knowledge and awareness would explode in volcanic fashion.” -Dr. Frances Cress Welsing
