[Eva2]

I have found that, to make a contented slave, it is necessary to make a thoughtless one. It is necessary to darken his moral and mental vision, and, as far as possible, to annihilate the power of reason. He must be able to detect no inconsistencies in slavery; he must be made to feel that slavery is right; and he can be brought to that only when he ceases to be a man.

Frederick Douglass

"Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing."

- Voltaire

[Bill Ryan]

He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.

St Thomas Aquinas (1225—1274)

A bad question is not a bad question, it is an attempt to impose false vocabulary - Sasha Latypova

"What is, is God."

- Ramana

[Vicus]

"The Kennedy assassination has demonstrated that most of the major events of world significance are masterfully planned and orchestrated by an elite coterie of enormously powerful people who are not of one nation, one ethnic grouping, or one overridingly important business group. They are a power unto themselves for whom those others work. Neither is this power elite of recent origin. Its roots go deep into the past."

- Col. L. Fletcher Prouty

[Ewan]

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man’s death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know,
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
Each bell that tolls reminds us of our own mortality.
We are one.
As it goes for one it goes for us all. ~John Donne

[Bill Ryan]

I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it.

Voltaire, May 1767

[Kryztian]

Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom; and no such thing as public liberty, without freedom of speech; which is the right of every man, as far as by it, he does not hurt or control the right of another: and this is the only check it ought to suffer, and the only bounds it ought to know. This sacred privilege is so essential to free governments, that the security of property, and the freedom of speech always go together; and in those wretched countries where a man cannot call his tongue his own, he can scarce call any thing else his own. Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation, must begin by subduing the freeness of speech; a thing terrible to public traitors. Freedom of speech is ever the symptom, as well as the effect of a good government. ~ Benjamin Franklin

I realize this thread is suggested to be Great quotes by the famous.
Here is a quote from a not famous...Eric Peters.

when I felt that scratch in my throat and my nose began to run a little but, I found I could not help thinking . . .

This is a measure of what’s been done to many of us – probably most if not all of us. Can anyone of us just catch a cold anymore without thinking, just a little bit, that it might be something more than just that?

Can we mention to anyone that we caught a cold without them thinking – even if they don’t say so out loud – that it might be something more than that?

God damn the people who did this to us.

We have spread the gospel of rainbow secularism down the throats of much of the world with a puritanical zeal - Ben Dixon

[Eva2]

There is no bigger lie told about us Ashkenazim than we are "Europeans". We are the most distinct of all races. We are not even of the Human race let alone Europeans. We are utterly unique. Our features only blend with humans. Our facial features and proportions infinitely more perfect. We are Anunakim and Nephilim and our DNA is of the Gods. We have extra sensory perception, heightened awareness and increased sentience. We cannot be defeated by gentiles anymore than humans can be by other mammals. And I think you guys deep in your hearts know it and it drives you mad.

America is a golden calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up and sell it off, piece by piece, until there is nothing left but the world's biggest welfare state that we will create and control.

This is what we do to countries that we hate. We destroy them, very slowly.

Benjamin Netanyahu
Recorded at Finks Bar
Jerusalem 1990

I don't check the sources on all of my quotes, but when I see something like this, I usually do and would suggest others do so too.

I don't know as much about Michael Cohen, but Netanyahu is a war criminal and deserves to be put on trial. While he isn't being taken to the World Court in Hague, he faces trial everyday, here in the court of public opinion, which happens in everyday places, including on the internet and also here on Project Avalon. He has done and said plenty of awful things, and one can verify these things from reliable sources. This would constitute evidence against him.

Going to trial with bad, disprovable evidence is a sure way to lose your case. When you post fake quotes with no attribution, Netanyahu's defenders can now say - "Benjamin is such a great guy. Unfortunately, people think badly of him because there are liars out there who create untrue information about him" to which someone else replies "Yes, I see the fake quotes people on Project Avalon publish about him." to which the later person would be correct. Fake quotes hurt the case against the criminal, and it hurts the source that posts it.

There is lots and lots of good information here on Project Avalon about why Netanyahu is a war criminal , but it can't just be summed up into one simple quote. It takes time and patience to make the case for why he deserves to be imprisoned for a long, long time, and unfortunately, fake quotes distract from this.

[Raskolnikov]

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

Daniel Webster

[Eva2]

Michael Cohen is an attorney who testified against Trump in the New York trial and there are a number of sources, including witnesses, that have affirmed Netanyahu's "famous" statement at Finks Bar.
