few quotations by Rodrigue Tremblay * "The world
should take notice when someone with a fanatic mind and with powerful means,
receives his marching orders from Heaven." * "Wars are
cruel gimmicks designed to enrich the few and impoverish the many." * "It is not
faith that produces freedom; knowledge brings freedom." * "An
incompetent politician who surrounds himself with competent people can pull
it off. However, if he is dumb enough to surround himself with like-minded
people, failure becomes a certainty." * "The two
biggest curses of humanity have been religions and wars, and both are often
intertwined." * "An
organized minority is most of the time stronger politically than a
disorganized majority." * "People
have invented gods to console themselves from their absence of control over
life and death." * "On the
political chessboard, those in the middle may have influence, but they rarely
have power." * "Cemeteries
are full of people with large pension funds." * "The fact
that we do not have a good government does not mean that we are not
governed." * "In our
media-run world, people get the politicians that pundits and journalists
deserve." * "A government
bent on controlling the people can never gather enough information on its
citizens." * "Hell on
Earth is when one has too few things, ...or too many." * "It would
be nothing less than scandalous for the United States, which was founded on
humanistic and democratic principles, to attempt to replace the old empires
of the past and to deny the fundamental democratic right of other peoples and
other nations to self-determination." *
“The Earth can last without humans, but humans cannot survive without
planet Earth.” * "The
fundamental purpose and meaning of life is to be happy, to live fully and
morally, and to help others be happy and live their lives fully and
morally." Rodrigue
Tremblay, “The Code for Global Ethics”, 2010 * “...It
can be said that the fear of death is the greatest ally of religion.”
* “The
religion-based promise of eternal life is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated
on humankind.” * “All
over history, there has been a recurring tendency for the followers of
different gods, as members of some imperial religions, to fight each other in
bloody wars, and I would add, useless wars.” *
“Expansionist ideologies, such as communism, fascism, colonialism,
Christianism, Islamism and Zionism, are powerful seeds of war. The more so, it
seems, when one relies on the exhortations of a so-called “holy”
book. The first three ideologies nearly destroyed the Planet in the 20th
century, while the last three threaten to do the same in the 21st
century.” * “A [US]
president who does not start a war abroad or who does not enlarge one already
in progress is open to criticism and is likely to suffer politically. He must
be seen less as a president than as “commander-in-chief”, in
effect, as an emperor.” *
“Corporations are not moral agents; only breathing individuals are;
only they can adopt moral standards of conduct and be a source of law.”
* “In a
democracy, voters' abstentionism is, in fact, often a vote against
inefficient or corrupt politicians.” * “Those
who are opposed to military wars should also oppose trade wars, because the
latter lead to the former.” * “When
there exists a state of permanent warfare, economic decline is to be
expected. Indeed, the main reason why the overall standard of living is
stagnating in some countries, notably in the United States, is due to the
high proportion of resources being directed toward the parasitic
military-industrial establishment.” * “The
unrestricted use of money in politics can turn a vibrant democracy into a
decadent plutocracy just as surely as poisoning a well can destroy a
village.” * “The
world should be worried about those who go around the planet with a can of
gasoline in one hand and a box of matches in the other, pretending to sell
fire insurance.” ·
“Wars
of aggression are the most barbarous of all human endeavors and are, more
often than not, the instruments of insane tyrants who hear voices.” External
