But it cannot survive treason from within. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” Marcus Tullius Cicero http://jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com (Jesse)Blogger10576125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418112515382102078.post-8288289312211984186Fri, 07 Aug 2026 20:19:00 +00002026-08-07T16:21:04.130-04:00

  "It does not matter how small the sins are, provided that their cumulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and out into the Nothing.  Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one— the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts." C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters, 1942  "The ideal subject of totalitarian rule

  "Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac. All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.  War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it." George Orwell,

  “Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort.  And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires, as if one

  "They do not see the image of Almighty God before them, and ask themselves what He wishes. And, for the same reason that they do not please Him, they succeed in pleasing themselves. Hence, they become both self-satisfied and self-sufficient; – they think they know just what they ought to do, and that they do it all; and in consequence they are very well content with themselves, and rate

  “It is better to be a child of God than the king of the whole world.” Virgil Cepari, Vita del Beato Luigi Gonzaga, 1606 "Granted that the easygoing optimism of yesterday is impossible.  Granted that those who pioneer in the struggle for peace and freedom will still face uncomfortable jail terms, painful threats of death; they will still be battered by the storms of persecution,

  "Pride is the beginning of all sin. Every sin is a contempt of God, and every contempt of God is pride. It is pride which brought down the angel into devil. It is the origin of sin when with malice and envy the devil pursued man, who was yet standing in his natural innocence. It subverted him in the same way in which he himself fell. For the serpent sought for the door of pride through

  “He speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

  “To live in truth is to be in harmony with one’s conscience.  Truth always unites and bonds people.  The greatness of truth terrifies and exposes the lies of small, fearful people.  For centuries, an unbroken struggle against truth has been waged.  Yet truth is immortal, while a lie dies a quick death. To master the technique of systematic lying many people are needed.

  “Lawlessness has come out of Babylon, that is, from the elders who were to govern the people as judges. They perverted their thinking; they would not allow their eyes to look to heaven, and did not keep in mind just judgments. How you have grown evil with age. Now have your past sins come to term, passing unjust sentences, condemning the innocent, and freeing the guilty." Daniel 13:

  "When we read of organisations in trouble, we often hear the sad confessions of executives who tell of moving away from natural laws and principles for a period of time and begin overbuilding, over borrowing, and over speculating, not really reading the stream or getting objective feedback, just hearing a lot of self-talk internally. Mahatma Gandhi said that seven things will destroy us.

  "To this war of every man against every man, this also is consequence; that nothing can be unjust.  The notions of right and wrong, justice and injustice, have there no place. Where there is no common power, there is no law; where no law, no injustice.  Force and fraud are in war the two cardinal virtues." Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan, 1651 “When Fascism came into power, most

  “But what is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint. Those who know what virtuous liberty is, cannot bear to see it disgraced by incapable heads, on account of their having high-sounding words in their mouths.” Edmund Burke, Letter to a Member of the National Assembly, 1791

  "The Panama Papers opened yet another window on the global system of financial corruption, showing how political leaders and businesses use shell companies in secrecy havens like the British Virgin Islands and many US states to evade taxes and hide corruption and other crimes. Yet the system of corruption depends on another factor beyond secrecy, one that is perhaps even more important:
