"The wino has always been looked down on by the whiskey drinker, the reefer smoker thinks he's hipper than the whiskey drinker, the cocaine snorter thinks he's more sophisticated than all the rest. big brother is drugs, big brother is alcohol, big brother is caffeine, nicotine, cocoa, chocolate. big brother is the passionate disrespect we have for ourselves. PBC: What can individual Americans do to help solve these problems? DG: It's difficult to say...." - Berkeley Holistic Health Center and Shepherd Bliss, The New Holistic Health Handbook: Living Well in a New Age (Get the book.)

"Being adopted, needing to prove myself, obsessive desire to make money, no real family attachments, high IQ, willing to bend or even break the rules, all put me in a category of being an excellent candidate to be approached and made an offer that I couldn't refuse. big brother is bigger than you could ever imagine. Today, it is worse than ever before. I can assure you that throughout history big brother has been watching us." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Big Brother is drugs, big brother is alcohol, big brother is caffeine, nicotine, cocoa, chocolate. big brother is the passionate disrespect we have for ourselves. PBC: What can individual Americans do to help solve these problems? DG: It's difficult to say.... It goes all the way back to our lifestyle—to the disrespect we have for our neighbors, poor folks, women, minority folks, and for other nations—to valuing trinkets and money over human values. But things are changing fast, interesting to see how fast." - Berkeley Holistic Health Center and Shepherd Bliss, The New Holistic Health Handbook: Living Well in a New Age (Get the book.)

"Realize that Corporate America and her big brother, Corporate Globe, are both geared to capture the very minds, hearts and souls of our children in order to make them loyal consumers of corporate commercial brands ?for life! Motivational advertisers are skilled pied pipers, designing media campaigns to put our children into fantasy worlds of materialistic glory that promise them the world and all of its excitement and thrills if our children will just ?in a thoroughly programmed, relentless and hypnotic mode ?happily obey the ads and follow all dictates: "Consume! Consume! Consume!" - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"A fantasy of this type might present itself if you felt as though you were always on "thin ice" with your parents when you were young and relied on your big brother for love and protection. Always remember that the subconscious mind loves to communicate through stories, symbols, and metaphors. You may experience an obvious fantasy when you're regressed under hypnosis. A woman once came to me with bone spurs and severe pain in her feet and ankles. She was lesbian and had grown up with a lot of discrimination from her prominent Midwestern family." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"Don't forget the glands in the brain—the hypothalamus, pituitary, the pineal glands, so important for creating a healing environment in the body so we can regenerate ourselves, have more energy and vitality, even as we get older, rather than going in a spiral of degeneration and waiting for big brother to say, 'Hey, take this protease inhibitor.' "The endocrine system is primarily the hypothalamus, which is the brain's brain. The gland in your brain that controls just about everything, including aging, is not even the size of your pinky fingernail." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"And like big brother, the drug companies were quietly collecting information on the public, accumulating it in corporate databases, which they could then use to make personal appeals to those they hoped would become their lifelong customers. This was part of a promotional tactic the marketers called compliance, which was aimed at keeping Iowans on their daily meds. Many of the marketers' ads were written with words meant to create fear that disease was just around the corner." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Our younger son loves Scooby Doo, just like his big brother. Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Scooby-Doo. That's our world. And guess who makes these products? Johnson & Johnson. The leading baby product line today in the United States, Australia, and elsewhere in the world is Johnson & Johnson's. Their Web site tells us that their products are clinically tested to ensure they are "mild and gentle enough for newborns." This is why the company says it replaces sodium lauryl sulfate, which is relatively harsh as a cleanser, with a close substitute as a cleansing ingredient." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"My colleagues and I are often marginalized as "the food police," out-of-control zealots with a "hidden agenda" to get "Big Brother" to take away your God-given right to Big Macs and Big Gulps. The goal of these attacks is to once again detract attention from the heart of the matter: that corporations control most of our food choices. Once you realize that most industry arguments are disingenuous, hypocritical, misleading, or downright false, it's quite easy to expose them as self-serving statements designed to obfuscate the real issues." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.) "What true, red-blooded American could resist this call for a life of adult dietary independence, free from Big Brother's long, dark shadow of paternalistic surveillance and control? Of course, this is just a silly distraction from the very real health problems advocates are talking about." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.)

"To the big brother I never had, Mark Mastrov, who believed in my ability enough to make me the president of his company and later, his executive vice president of sales and marketing worldwide. While working as his right-hand man for eight years, Mark taught me how to think outside of the box as we developed the largest chain of health and fitness clubs in the world. To the entire team at 24 Hour Fitness who supported me during our incredible international run." - Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie (Get the book.)

"A diabolically orchestrated, media-scripted search and destroy operation in the Vermont countryside, designed not just to murder some innocent sheep and thereby exorcize mounting consumer fears about food safety and mad cow disease, but also to turn us all into sheep, to fan the flames of fear and ignorance, and to foster our continued dependence on an abusive big brother government that has promised to protect us from the contemporary terrors that lurk, well, nearly everywhere." - Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.)

"I've spent this much time on black tea only because it's so often overlooked, living in the shadow of its "big brother," green tea. But wonderful health benefits of black tea aside, green tea fully deserves its primary place in the sun. It is truly one of the world's great superfoods and has been acknowledged as such by virtually every nutritionist I know of worth his or her salt. It has anticancer activity. It's helpful in weight loss. It lowers cholesterol. It's associated with significantly lower levels of heart disease." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"When they say: big brother is taking away your rights. They assume: Government is not already involved in our food choices. When CCF sounds alarm bells about government on the march to do away with the American way of life and your freedom to enjoy your favorite foods, it conveniently glosses over the fact that government is already intimately involved in our food choices. Various federal agencies set standards for food safety, provide nutrition advice, subsidize agriculture, and otherwise oversee the types of foods we eat and the information we receive about them." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.)

"This isn't happening because a big brother government is looking over our shoulders, or powerful corporations are watching us with security cameras and RFID (radio frequency identification) tags. That kind of surveillance is far outstripped by the millions of cameras and video recorders in the hands of millions of Little Brothers and Little Sisters—us. In our camera phones, we carry with us the tools of our own transparency, and we do so willingly, even happily. Let's call this world the Participatory Panopticon. " - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Yes, adopting such a plan sounds like a move that only big brother could love. But the alternative, as currently practiced, is worse. Our acceptance of a standard benefits plan does away with Big Brother's seeming arbitrariness in making coverage decisions. It also means we accept the legal realities that play out in Big Brother's courts when expectations regarding health benefits go awry for sick people. Establishment of the plan will also finally put an end to the wasteful shell game played by health insurers and their brokers in the endless formulation and reformulation of plan designs." - J.D. Kleinke, Oxymorons: The Myth of a U.S. Health Care System (Get the book.)

"I can assure you that throughout history big brother has been watching us. The letters and e-mails you write, the books you read, the conversations you have, the websites you visit, where and when you spend your money, all are being reviewed and scrutinized. When two men approached me in a very public bowling alley it seemed a little surreal. They had obviously been watching me for quite some time. The conversation was straightforward, serious, and to the point. They knew about me in great detail. They knew my most powerful motivation was making money." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"The Orwellian 'Big Brother' nightmare unfurls by the day, especially since 9/11. This is not surprising when you realise that those attacks were engineered by the same force that now uses them as an excuse to impose its fascist agenda to 'save us' from terrorism (see Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade Center Disaster). We can clearly see the rapidly advancing centralisation of power and ownership in all areas of our lives and it has become known as globalisation. This is not just about big, greedy corporations, as so many of the 'Left' would have us believe." - David Icke, Icke David, Infinite Love Is the Only Truth: Everything Else Is Illusion (Get the book.)

"I was approached by a television programme called Celebrity big brother, in which 'well-known' people live in a 'house' for up to two weeks while being filmed 24 hours a day. The viewers vote to eject the 'celebrities' until there is one left - the 'winner'. I met with representatives of the programme to see if, appalling as the 'show' was, it might be an opportunity to get across information that the public wouldn't normally hear. I quickly decided that it wasn't, and I never heard any further from them, nor them from me." - David Icke, Icke David, Infinite Love Is the Only Truth: Everything Else Is Illusion (Get the book.)

"Primary objections are: þA food tax would be manipulative and evokes images of a "nanny" or big brother intruding in people's lives to tell them what to eat. þTaxes would interfere with personal liberties and freedom of choice. þAdditional bureaucracy is undesirable. We would add: þTaxes on food may be regressive (affect poor people disproportionately). þDecisions on what would be taxed could be arbitrary. þThere is the possibility of unintended consequences. These criticisms are defensible and must be considered. Taxes can have important social effects if used correctly." - Kelly Brownell and Katherine Battle Horgen, Food Fight (Get the book.) "He wants big brother to make you eat less junk food. Ben and ferry will be transformed from kindly Vermont hippies to foul peddlers of heart disease.16 The fighting came next, was focused mainly on the idea of a "fat tax," and continues today. The fighting came from different sources, including the press. First, public health groups will determine that hamburgers cause cancer and heart disease. The trial lawyers will begin class actions on behalf of adults who blame their illness on . . . special sauce." - Kelly Brownell and Katherine Battle Horgen, Food Fight (Get the book.)

"What I have just described is how, minute by minute, people are sold a false reality by the media. The big brother experience, and the Queen mother story, may I LLU M I N AT I Problem 9/11 attacks orchestrated through llluminati-controlled intelligence agencies, military special operations and psychological warfare units, etc. Reaction Public told the official (untrue) version of 'Bin Laden did it' by llluminati-controlled government, intelligence agencies, FBI and unquestioning media.
