WIST Quotations

A quotation from Jefferson

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information. Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe.

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) American political philosopher, polymath, statesman, US President (1801-09)
Letter (1816-01-06) to Charles Yancey

A quotation from John Adams

Obsta principiis, nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards.

John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
Essay (1775-02-06), “Novanglus,” No. 3, Boston Gazette

@wcooperbooks Part of the problem is that #Conservatives and #TheRight have taken over the language used in those systems. Try attacking #FamilyValues #Freedom #Liberty #Justice #Faith #Heritage. This is an OLD Strategy. It is decades in the making. The problem is that #TheLiberals have existed in a #Somnambulistic #Nostalgia for the same number of decades--sitting on their hands believing they have coequal partners in governance and #ColleaguesAcrossTheAisle instead of #Ruthless #Motherfuckers

20 police armed with tazers etc to arrest 6 women who hired a meeting room in Westminster Meeting House London, (where I worshipped for many years.)

Statement by Quakers highlights the increasing UK restrictions on right to protest and rights of juries to fairly judge such actions.

Quakers have a long history of non violent protest against injustice

The Rachel Maddow Show 2025 EPI.49
Donald Trump says the scandal over his top officials discussing secret military plans in an unsecured group chat is just a “glitch” in an otherwise perfect first two months in office. Rachel Maddow looks back to help Trump jog his memory and realize that “perfect” is probably not the best word for what has happened so far in Trump’s second term.

Threeway splitscreen. The first:Trump's White House faith advisor Paula White promises supernatural blessings in exchange for $1000,-. Paula, a woman with lightblonde hair and a lavendel coloured dress is sitting behind a desk with a large piano at the background. Under that screen: two hands are playing the piano. The third screen taking the total right side: a list of 'blessings of passover' : -Assigning an angel to you -Be an enemy to your enemies -Give you prosperity -Take sickness away -Give you long life -Cause increase for you -A special year of blessing

The peril of the #DualState lies precisely in this capacity for targeted suppression. [Many]…people can ignore the construction of the #PrerogativeState simply because it does not touch their lives. They can turn away while dissidents & scapegoats lose their political #liberty. But once the prerogative state is built, as Fraenkel’s writing & experience suggest, it can swallow anyone.
