Hamilton was the greatest constructive mind in all our history and I should come pretty near saying... in the history of modern statesmen in any country.
Alexander Hamilton
Mr Jinnah, was great as a lawyer, once great as a Congressman, great as a leader of Muslims, great as a world politician and diplomat, and greatest of all as a man of action. By Mr. Jinnah's passing away, the world has lost one of the greatest statesmen and Pakistan its life-giver, philosopher and guide.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Official history has been tampered with in the most extraordinary way,so that we continue to see the world in the child-like simplicity of good and evil,heroes and villains.The world is rarely like that. therefore the need to create opposing "sides" and encourage conflict becomes essential.
David Icke
Nine-eleven was an act of war. The villains aren’t the terrorists. The villains live in the White House.
Jerrold Nadler
There is no history of mankind, there is only an indefinite number of histories of all kinds of aspects of human life. And one of these is the history of political power. This is elevated into the history of the world. But this, I hold, is an offence against every decent conception of mankind. It is hardly better than to treat the history of embezzlement or of robbery or of poisoning as the history of mankind. For the history of power politics is nothing but the history of international crime and mass murder (including it is true, some of the attempts to suppress them). This history is taught in schools, and some of the greatest criminals are extolled as heroes.
