Dennis Wheatley: Quote for December 13, 2012

Whether or not Hitler and Mussolini themselves are great masters of Black Magic, nobody can possibly contest that it is through such ambitious and unscrupulous men, German, Italian and Japanese, that the Powers of Darkness are working and in recent years have acquired such a terrifying increase of strength upon our earth.
The New World Order which they wish to bring about is but another name for Hell. If through them Evil prevailed, every man and woman of every race and colour would finally be enslaved, from the cradle to the grave. They would be brought up to worship might instead of right and would be taught to condone, or even praise, murder, torture and the suppression of all liberty as 'necessary' to the welfare of 'the State'.

-- Dennis Wheatley

from: Strange Conflict( (Book 1941)

In modern times new masters wish to bring about a New World Order. It still can be called Hell!

J. Paul Getty: Quote for December 11, 2012

The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might of the force of habit and must understand that practices are what create habits.

Mary Steenburgen: Quote for December 7, 2012

I think it's very important for everyone in America to realize right now the state of our country, not just on this issue but on a lot of issues, that it is time to get active again. People have just sat back and just sort of said, oh, let somebody else do it for a long time, and we're seeing what's happening to the country, even freedom of speech. It's not going well. So I think this is a real opportunity for people to see, yes, if you do get out and you do get active, there are other people there. You just have to seek them out.
