Video of the author reading quotes from The Immune
(The Immune is available on all online bookstores and in all e-book formats)
- “The problem with politicians is that they always come to believe power is wisdom.”
- “A belief, unflappable by a hurricane of contrary facts defines ‘willful ignorance’.”
- “perspective is the only difference between a hero and a terrorist.”
- “A FS maneuver is a deception hiding an underlying agenda”
- “Large centralized governments always cause internal collapse and ultimately destruction of the masses. All governmental evils are justified and rationalized, as necessary, to maintain the all-powerful, all-knowing, current leaders for the good of society”
- “politicians are experts at reckless compassion.”
- “You want to believe the government can legislate every problem away. That’s a comforting thought for the masses because it doesn’t require any personal responsibility, but, deep down, self-interest motivates us all.”
- “So you believe your ill deeds are excused by more wicked actions done by others.”
- “Ignorance, or even willful ignorance, allows for rejection of responsibility. Knowledge obliges burden of duty.”
- “If you’re losing the game, don’t play the losing strategy harder—““Change the strategy,” interjected John. “Umm . . . no, change the rules,”
- “I prefer the word disinformation over lie. It’s only a lie if historically I can’t make it true.”
- “Ultimately, humankind bases records solely on perspective history, not physical history.”
- “Humans only record perspective history. By definition, it differs from physical history, the actual event, because the recorder’s perspective judges the event.”
- “lies undiscovered become truths”
- “FS stands for Fortitude South. This was the greatest covert disinformation operation of World War II. It allowed the Allies to pull off D-Day.”
- “If necessity is the mother of invention, then danger was the father of action.”
- “The best way for two men to keep a secret is for one of them to kill the other.”
- “in America, the most lauded and compensated skill continues to remain the ability to entertain.”
- “Liberty is a fragile gift, take one vial of fear, add three drops, lust-for-power, and it’s easily poisoned.”
- “Keeping a secret is like holding ice in your hands. With enough time both slip away.”
- “All societies have a ruling class, and all ruling classes have privileges. The certainty of this fact ranks up there with death and taxes.”
- “Conventional wisdom is the most dangerous wisdom of all.”
- “A legacy of fulfilled expectations of others is no legacy at all.”
- “Evil is pernicious and devious. Ignoring evil is the first foothold in acceptance of it.”
- “Self-interest, which is human nature, that’s the foundation for building strong societies. The irony is the same quality of human nature in government has the opposite effect.”
- “So we’re to trust the prevaricator because he tells us the truth about one of his lies?”
- “If not tended closely, justice ends up being a reflection of the conscience of those in power.”
