# Cabal ![rw-book-cover](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91LWA3D+QpL._SY160.jpg) ## Metadata - Author: [[Mark Goodwin]] - Full Title: Cabal - Category: #books ## Highlights - “Not quite. I need 2,000 rounds of 5.56 green tip, 500 rounds of 5.56 ballistic tip, 1,000 rounds of .40 caliber ball, 500 .40 caliber hydra shock, 500 rounds of 12 gauge #4 buck, and 100 rounds of slugs.” ([Location 892](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08636BSLK&location=892)) - “I’ll tell you what I tell everyone else, you gotta stock up before something spooks you. ([Location 897](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08636BSLK&location=897)) - We lived on rice and beans. It might not be your favorite thing to eat, but it will keep you alive. Plus, dried beans and that plain white rice keep forever. ([Location 978](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08636BSLK&location=978)) - That’s a small price to pay for a place that isn’t cluttered, where we can think. Good decisions are paramount right now. We can’t afford to have claustrophobia and disarray adding to our stress level.” ([Location 1061](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08636BSLK&location=1061)) - A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.   Proverbs 22:3 ([Location 1149](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08636BSLK&location=1149)) - He considered the purchases he’d made instead of additional precious metals. “But I guess you can’t eat it, live in it, or defend your family with it.” ([Location 1269](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08636BSLK&location=1269)) - First, we Americans are going to have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That’s going to be for many a bitter pill. Today, we must develop federal structures on a global level to deal with world problems. We need a system of enforceable world law, a democratic federal world government. Most important, we should sign and ratify the treaty for a permanent international criminal court. That is now at the core of the world federalist movement’s drive. That court will enable the world to hold individuals accountable for their crimes against humanity… Our failure to live up to our obligations to the United Nations is led by a handful of willful senators who choose to pursue their narrow, selfish political objectives at the cost of our nation’s conscience. They pander to and are supported by the Christian Coalition and the rest of the religious right-wing. Their leader, Pat Robertson, has written in a book a few years ago that we should have a world government but only when the Messiah arrives. He wrote, “Any attempt to achieve world order before that time must be the work of the devil.” Well, join me. I’m glad to sit here at the right hand of Satan.   Walter Cronkite—1999 Norman Cousins Global Governance Award acceptance speech ([Location 2877](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08636BSLK&location=2877)) - In that case, the Global Union would have no sob story to push us all into the cities so they can control us. A few cameras can keep an eye on a large population in a city. Out in the country, omnipresent surveillance becomes less cost-effective.” ([Location 2990](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08636BSLK&location=2990)) - “Then, in Revelation 3, Jesus tells the Church in Philadelphia, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. To me, that sounds like a promise to spare the faithful church from the Great Tribulation and God’s Wrath also. “But times could get pretty dicey before anything we might refer to as God’s Wrath actually takes place.” Josh thought about it. “If nothing else, I suppose it will make a good last call for people who still haven’t decided which side they want to be on.” ([Location 3033](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08636BSLK&location=3033)) - The measure of bravery is not in your emotion but rather in your actions. ([Location 3426](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08636BSLK&location=3426)) - “As evidenced by their willingness to plant porn on my laptop, the FBI isn’t in the habit of letting little details like that get in the way. If you’ve got the finances to fight it in court, you’ll probably win, but it will cost you everything.” ([Location 3676](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08636BSLK&location=3676))
