New Post Office, Washington, D.C.
The New Post Office in Washington, D.C., is part of a complex of historic buildings in the Federal Triangle. It is located across 12th Street NW from the Old Post Office and next to the National Mall. The building was originally constructed in 1934 to serve as the headquarters of the Post Office Department. It was one of the first buildings to feature New Deal–funded murals and statues, a program established by the Roosevelt administration in response to the Great Depression. The murals depict the history of the American frontier through the development of the postal service. However, some of the murals have been criticized for their portrayal of Native Americans and have been covered up. In 2013, the building was renamed the William Jefferson Clinton Federal Building in honor of former President Bill Clinton.

Pennsylvania Station, NYC (1910–1963)
Architects: McKim, Mead & White.  Built by: Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR). Penn Station was a monumental structure designed to celebrate rail travel. It opened in 1910 but was demolished in 1963 after only 53 years. It was located between 31st and 33rd Streets and 7th and 8th Avenues in Manhattan. The PRR also constructed a tunnel connecting Manhattan to the Hudson and East Rivers. The station's architecture was inspired by Roman architecture, particularly the Basilica of Constantine. The exterior featured massive Doric columns, and the interior featured a steel-and-glass train shed. The grand main waiting room was modeled after the Baths of Caracalla and boasted lavish interiors with coffered ceilings, travertine marble, and Décorative ironwork. However, by the 1950s, rail travel had declined due to the increased popularity of air travel and highways in the United States. Penn Station had become expensive to maintain and outdated. Demolition began in 1963 and was completed in 1966. Madison Square Garden was built on the site, and the station remains beneath it.

株主の皆様へ。
我々、異端者たち、この雑多な集団はシリコンヴァレーから追放、葬り去られそうになりました。 近年、主流派のコンセンサスは米国の発展とその国民としてのアイデンティティに懐疑的で、 合衆国の防衛と利益を守るという信念を時代遅れと見做しています。 時代の論理は国家の衰退とその自然死を見届けようというものです。 我々を含め、文化や企業は、皆、長い時を経て「その果実によって」判断されるべきでしょう。 マタイ書　7:16。
既成勢力、知識階級、我々の新しい貴族層は過去の貴族層よりもはるかに根強く強固です。
現代のエリートは知性と道徳性の優越性を自任しています。-- ミシェル・ウエルベック
未来は自らを創造者と呼ぶ者、ただ勇敢なる者ではなく、実際に実質的で永続的なものを成し遂げた者のものとなるでしょう。
1974年8月9日、大統領職を辞任した日、リチャード・ニクソンはスタッフにこう語りかけ、我々を戒めています。
小さなことに執着してはいけません
これだけは忘れないように。他人はあなたを憎むかもしれません、だが、あなたを憎む者が、勝つことはないでしょう。 あなたが彼らを憎み返さない限りにおいては。そんなことになれば、あなたはあなた自身を壊してしまうでしょう。
