{"quotes":[{"text":"The internet has become a carefully controlled and heavily monitored illusion. It has turned into both a circus and battleground. Popularity is rigged and can be bought. Censorship is in full effect. Popular opinion is fabricated, and the perception of a viewpoint's popularity is typically orchestrated and manipulated by legions of paid trolls. If you want to know the truth about somebody's true popularity and influence, look to the streets. If you want to know if a person is really guilty or innocent, study the facts yourself. Never judge anybody based on what you see or read on the internet. Information can easily be manipulated by the push of a few buttons.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["battleground","biase","biased","buttons","censor","censorship","circus","control","controlled","corruption","democracy","fake","government","government-corruption","guilty","illusion","influence","influential","innocent","internet","judge","judgment","manipulate","manipulated","net","orchestrate","perceive","perception","popular","popular-opinion","popularity","public-opinion","regulated","regulation","silence","skewed","slanted","trolls","viewpoint","war","web"],"id":22199,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"Censorship exists to protect corruption.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["censor","censorship","criticism","government","media","politics","protect","protection"],"id":30622,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"Trying to erase, hide, discredit, degrade, and suppress a writer's work, merit, voice, and influence―is unconstitutional.

One who will stir the hearts of the people, so that the sons and daughters of a given nation strive to emulate their leader's greatness.

And in these times, a great leader must be extremely brave. Their leadership must be steered only by their conscience, not a bribe.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["administration","airlines","bail","bail-out","banker","bankers","banking","banking-system","banks","best-leader","big-business","big-pharma","bipartisan","blood","books","brave","bravery","bribe","bridges","build-bridges","capitalism","censor","censorship","chaos","character","citizen","common-man","companies","confident","confident-leader","conscience","conservation","convergence","corporations","corrupt","corruption","country","critic","criticism","criticsm","darkness","decisionmakers","decison-makers","democrat","destruction","diplomacy","diplomatic","discriminate","discrimination","dissent","diversity","divide","divides","division","doctor","doctors","education","educators","election","elections","employment","environment","environmental","environmentalism","environmentalist","equality","ethnic-tolerance","fair","fairness","families","farmer","fear","for-the-people","foreign-relations","freedom","freedom-of-speech","funding","furture","future-leaders","good-leader","government","government-corruption","great-leader","great-leadership","great-nation","greatness","greed","guide","hands","hate","hatred","health-care","heart-driven","hearts","homes","honest","honest-broker","honorable","human-condition","human-life","humanity","humans","humble","hypocrisy","identify","ignorance","immaturity","immorality","improvement","incentives","indentifies","inspire","integrity","intellectualism","intelligent","job","jobs","justice","law","lawlessness","lead","leader","leaders","leadership","leadership-characteristics","leadership-traits","libraries","library","lie","lies","lobbyist","losing","love","make-america-great-again","man-on-the-street","mankind","monetary","monetary-profit","money","money-driven","morality","mortage","mortages","multinational","nation","oil","oil-tycoon","peace","peaceful","peacekeeper","peacemaker","peacemakers","people","pharma","pharmaceutical","pick-a-leader","picking-sides","political-science","politics","preservation","president","presidential","protection","public","race","race-tolerance","racism","religious-tolerance","republican","school","schools","scrutiny","secrecy","security","segregation","selecting","serves-the-people","silencing-dissent","sly","society","speech","spending","stability","street","street-level","strong","teacher","teachers","team","terror","tolerance","tolerate","transparency","truth","truthfulness","understand","understanding","unite","unites","uniting","unity","vote","voter","voting","walls","war","we-the-people","weapons","wisdom","word"],"id":77345,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"When picking a leader, choose a peacemaker.
