Quotations

"I do not believe a word that comes out of your mouth. Your entire policy consists of provoking the Palestinians." Jacques Chirac, 'red with anger', talking to Benjamin Netanyahu.

“The strange superstition has arisen in the Western world that we can start all over again, remaking human nature, human society, and the possibilities of happiness; as though the knowledge and experience of our ancestors were now entirely irrelevant." Sir Roger Scruton

"Love and do what you like." St Augustine

"Morality is based on respect for your fellow human being. If you remember that one idea, then you need not bother memorizing endless lists of arbitrary rules and laws. You will know what is right and wrong." Michael Rivero

“It is not enough to be nice; you have to be good. We are attracted by nice people; but only on the assumption that their niceness is a sign of goodness.” Sir Roger Scruton

“Tell me what a person finds sexually attractive and I will tell you their entire philosophy of life. Show me the person they sleep with and I will tell you their valuation of themselves.” Ayn Rand

    “Gaza’s waterfront property could be very valuable.”
    Jared Kushner

    Kushner was exchanging ideas and plans with another scumbag, David Friedman, whom as president the Donald had named ambassador to Israel. Friedman’s idea, as quoted in The New York Times, is to expel all Gaza residents to the Negev desert and annex all of the West Bank into greater Israel. Kushner was looking at real estate development in Gaza and made his observation known about the waterfront.

    This "strange superstition" is essentially little different to PolPotism and the hubristic desire to assume the powers of the Almighty and instigate and manage our own Year Zero. The end result will be much the same.
