“Curiosity is the purest form of insubordination.—Vladimir Nabokov

Here is a collection of quotes from well-known people who describe what is happening accurately and succinctly. I could elaborate, but it seems redundant. I hope you will read each of these quotes and then pause a moment to reflect on their truth. Try to clear your mind of the fear and colorful propaganda that is beamed at you from the TV screen.

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”–Upton Sinclair,

“The object of terrorism is terrorism. The object of oppression is oppression. The object of torture is torture. The object of murder is murder. The object of power is power. Now, do you begin to understand me?”
~ George Orwell, 1984

“If someone tells you to do something that goes against your core beliefs, do not do it. Anything that violates your principle moorings, don’t do it. Common sense, use it.” — Dr David McCullough

…asked Congress for funding “for a new vaccine that is necessary, that works…. It will likely be recommended that everybody get it no matter whether they’ve gotten it before or not.” —Joe Biden

No matter how paranoid or conspiracy-minded you are, what the government is actually doing is worse than you can imagine”. ~William Blum

“The ideal of a constitutional republic is individual liberty. In this century, great strides have been made toward the goal of subverting our republic, and transforming it into a democracy. The foremost tactic of the subverters is subversion of “language” — by calling America a democracy, until people thoughtlessly accept the term, and use the term. Totalitarians have obscured the real meanings and principles of American government.”
— Dan Smoot

The essence of Government is power; and power lodged as it must be, in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.
—James Madison

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.–
—Marcus Aurelius

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.–
—Dale Carnegie

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.–
—Marie Curie
