Phineas Finn, 1868 by Anthony Trollope (A MUST READ)
Excerpts from the novel Phineas Finn, 1868 by Anthony Trollope:
“It is no loss of time,” said Phineas, “to have taken the first great step in making it.”
“The first great step was taken long ago,” said Mr. Monk,–”taken by men who were looked upon as revolutionary demagogues, almost as traitors, because they took it. But it is a great thing to take any step that leads us onwards.”
“There is nothing in the world so difficult as that task of making up one’s mind. Who is there that has not longed that the power and privilege of selection among alternatives should be taken away from him in some important crisis of his life, and that his conduct should be arranged for him, either this way or that, by some divine power if it were possible, – by some patriarchal power in the absence of divinity, – or by chance, even, if nothing better than chance could be found to do it? But no one dares to cast the die, and to go honestly by the hazard. There must be the actual necessity of obeying the die, before even the die can be of any use.”

Overton Window, by Joseph P. Overton (A MUST KNOW)
Joseph P. Overton is known for conceiving the idea since known as the Overton window. The Overton window
is a political theory that describes as a narrow "window" the range of
ideas the public will accept. On this theory, an idea's political
viability depends mainly on whether it falls within that window rather
than on politicians' individual preferences.

True evil today - american jews against russian jews!
Local people - ukrainians, russians - in consumption - cannon fodder. This is what happens today in Ukraine. And this would happen tomorrow at your place, in your country. If you don't take control on your own corrupt and careless government today.
As was said earlier, Fascist regimes on jewish money and soviet regimes by jews?

I do not know any other unfortunate plague... (Maria Theresa, Austrian Empress)
“I do not know any other unfortunate plague domestically as this
race, which impoverishes the people by cunning, usury, lending money and
handling cases repulsive to honest people. Therefore, if possible, they
will be displaced and uprooted from here.” (Maria Theresa, Austrian
Empress – the last of the House of Habsburg, 1717 – 1780)
