“Our media and political system has turned into a mutual protection racket.”

“To Serve and Protect..."- Traditional Motto of Protection Rackets”

“Our morality system has become a mechanical device for protecting us against ourselves; it is the handiwork of terror.”

“For all its faults, our political process is a good one, and the means by which much meaningful change is made. That is not a very fashionable view to hold, but as someone who has operated at senior levels in journalism and politics, around a decade in each, it is my respect for the media that has shrunk, and my respect for politics that has grown.”

“And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.”

“Social media is the empowerment of the individual at the expense of the system.”
