Oil Companies Watch Out!

“We’ll take on the oil companies and harness their record profits to create millions of clean energy jobs — high-wage jobs you can raise a family on. I’ll end their special tax breaks and give them a choice: invest some of your profits in alternative energy , or we’ll do it for you.”

- Hillary Clinton

State control of all births.

Your kids belong to everyone.

“There’s no such thing as other people’s children.”

The government should control all births.

“Childbearing [should be) a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license. . . . All potential parents [should be] required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing.”

The state should control all births.

Mass psychology can achieve world government.

“I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is mass psychology. . . . Various results will soon be arrived at: that the influence of home is obstructive. . . . Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen. . . . Educational propaganda, with government help, could achieve this result in a generation. There are, however, two powerful forces opposed to such a policy: one is religion; the other is nationalism. . . . A scientific world society cannot be stable unless there is a world government.”

- Bertrand Russell , 1953.
