Excellent James.
As Voltaire said:
“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you believe in Santa Claus.”
🙂 🙂
I ran this through a search on Presearch and got just one result: “Corbett Report – How to Verify a quote”. 🙂
Not sure what “Presearch” is.
So that means our comments here are being harvested by the machine??
My oh my Toto, we’re not in free space anymore. :-O
THEY GOT YOU GOOD (song)

Thanks James, you are a task master and a very good teacher. I have a question; can a person use an android phone for such a work-out, the flexing of this remarkable muscle you challenge us to develop? I will try but have a low confidence I could master this fondle slab. Also , EJ are you in the spotlight now.!?!
No ? I wouldn’t want that but I have a similar situation lately. The book ; By the Editor -en-Chief.
Can an ad banner on the front page of a dusty old blog page, an early Corbett report page on the screen, be considered a quote, say directly attributed from the author?
The banner said ‘Get the Book’
Corbetts Book. In small print it said something to the affect,'” an accumulation of Corbett’s articles, ect.ect.. So, I’m still looking…
Now, many of you know how a physical book could have importance in this realm we occupy? . A tomb of artifacts in one place. Are you becoming aware of that importance giving today’s challenge from the editor-en- chief? Good.
It all began weeks ago. Home- remedy supply referenced an older Corbett report. On that old sheet , a newsletter ? There was a banner, an advertising banner. That banner urged the reader to get the Corbett book. I can’t remember the article or the date,subject content but believe me bro. I’ve looked over hundreds of HRS’ comments looking for that page. Can you remember seeing that page?
Off course after you sharpen your skills, these ARE skills and practice makes perfect, so when you’re done with today’s assignment, let me know if you saw the page HRS linked to. Please and thank you.
Hello James, and thank you for doing a video on this showing how to walk through the steps of attempting to verify an old “damning” quote on the internet.
As it turns out, and this feels a bit like cheating as I attempted to verify one of those quotes about two weeks ago for my own benefit. But I humbly put forth, that I think I can satisfactorily source the Paul Warburg quote you mentioned at the end there.
Paul Warburg apparently said that quote at the 81st Congress, 2nd Session(?, the document says “2d session” but that doesn’t seem right), and it is noted in this document with the heading:
REVISION OF THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER
Hearings before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Foreign Relations
United States Senate
81st Congress, 2nd Session on Resolutions relative to the United Nations charter, Atlantic Union, World Federation, etc.
Feb. 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 13, 15, 17, and 20, 1950
Printed for the use of the Committee on Foreign Relations
U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON, 1950: 64429
PP. 494-508
The online link I used is “Wikisource” which I will admit I am somewhat skeptical of as, obviously, anyone can go in and change stuff around. But here is the link nonetheless: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/James_Warburg_before_the_Subcommittee_on_Revision_of_the_United_Nations_Charter#I._IS_IT_A_PLAN_OR_JUST_A_HOPE?
/Start Quote:
“I am James P. Warburg, of Greenwich, Conn., and am appearing as an individual.
I am aware, Mr. Chairman, of the exigencies of your crowded schedule and of the need to be brief, so as not to transgress upon your courtesy in granting me a hearing.
The past 15 years of my life have been devoted almost exclusively to studying the problem of world peace and, especially, the relation of the United States to these problems. These studies led me, 10 years ago, to the conclusion that the great question of our time is not whether or not one world can be achieved, but whether or not one world can be achieved by peaceful means.
We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest.
Today we are faced with a divided world—its two halves glowering at each other across the iron curtain. The world’s two superpowers—Russia and the United States—are entangled in the vicious circle of an arms race, which more and more preempts energies and resources sorely needed to lay the foundations of enduring peace. We are now on the road to eventual war—a war in which the conqueror will emerge well nigh indistinguishable from the vanquished.
The United States does not want this war, and most authorities agree that Russia does not want it. Indeed, why should Russia prefer the unpredictable hazards of war to a continuation of here present profitable fishing in the troubled waters of an uneasy armistice? Yet both the United States and Russia are drifting—and, with them, the entire world—toward the abyss of atomic conflict.” /End Quote.
P.S. I know you want all 4, but that’s beyond my free time this week. I offer up that quote (or that information on how to BETTER source that quote with a better document/site than Wikiquote) as free for anyone else who covets that free cap!
I’ll probably just hit up The Corbett Report Store for some goods in the coming weeks anyhow. Thank you for the reminder to be a better Truth Seeker!
