## Quotes

* We know the tactics, they bus in people, flood areas with party materials, and create a sense of fake popularity. We saw these same tricks with the MMD.
* This is orchestrated propaganda. They’ve tried everything to undermine me, but they’ve failed. They keep saying I’ve done nothing in Munali and claim that I’ve failed as a Member of Parliament.
* Many people are aware of what I’ve accomplished in Munali Constituency. These claims of my failure come from the opposition and some within the party, it's the last efforts of a dying cause. They've resorted to this tactic, hoping their preferred candidate, a weaker choice, can secure easy nomination.
* I’m baffled that we in the PF are constantly fighting each other instead of focusing on the opposition. At such a critical time, we should be united, yet rumors and false accusations against one another continue. What are those behind this hoping to achieve? It’s truly puzzling.
* I've concluded that Zambia suffers from a condition I call "CCJ", Complaining, Criticizing, and Jealousy.
* Please stop this. All you rumor-mongers should understand that this kind of nonsense can seriously damage our party.
* Since it’s Easter, I want to keep those spreading these rumors in my prayers. As the Lord said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”
** Nkandu Luo addresses the topic of opposition leaders in politics.March 27, 2016
* For a long time, women have been marginalized and left behind, but the Zambian government under the PF administration is tirelessly working to promote the women's agenda.
* These advancements are evident in the many bills introduced, including the Gender Equity Bill, the Anti-GBV Bill, and legislation concerning marriage and child rights, all of which demonstrate the government's commitment to addressing issues that affect the rights of women and girls in Zambia.
** Nkandu Luo delivered a speech at the 134th Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) conference taking place in Lusaka
* Gender norms and inequalities significantly affect maternal and child health (MCH) outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa. Child marriage and discrimination against women and girls contribute to maternal mortality and poor birth statistics in the region, as women's limited control over family resources, along with other social factors, hinders access to antenatal care.
** Nkandu Luo's speech focused on advancing maternal and child health in Zambia and Southern Africa through gender-based initiatives.

## Quotes
### 1960s

* I now feel very ashamed of my testimony, as I withheld some of what I knew to protect myself from being punished by my country. I said nothing about my secret collaboration with the Japanese imperialists over a long period, an association to which my open capitulation after September 18, 1931 was but the conclusion. Instead, I spoke only of the way the Japanese had put pressure on me and forced me to do their will. I maintained that I had not betrayed my country but had been kidnapped; denied all my collaboration with the Japanese; and even claimed that the letter I had written to Jirō Minami was a fake. I covered up my crimes in order to protect myself.
** From Emperor to Citizen, 1964
* You should not be serving me. I should be serving you.
** Behr, 1987 p.314
# José Antonio Primo de Rivera

José Antonio Primo de Rivera y Sáenz de Heredia, 3rd Marquis of Estella (April 24, 1903 – November 20, 1936) was a Spanish politician who was the founder of the Falangism political ideology, which is generally regarded as a form of Fascism.

## Quotes

* Fascism was born to inspire a faith not of the Right (which at bottom aspires to conserve everything, even injustice) or of the Left (which at bottom aspires to destroy everything, even goodness), but a collective, integral, national faith.
** Stanley G. Payne, Falange: A History of Spanish Fascism (1961), p. 31.
* Life is not a firework to be let off at the end of a party.
** Antony Beevor The Battle for Spain: The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 (2006), p. 111.
* The German is just the opposite. It comes from a romantic faith, from the capacity for divinizing a race. Therefore it is just to assert that Hitlerism is a mystical movement, very consubstantial with German psychology. The Germans can sing in choruses very well... yet all the movements of insubordination, of rebellion in the world, in the Spartacus manner, have come from Germany. Neither can the totalitarian state save us from the invasion of barbarians, all the more because the truly totalitarian state cannot exist"
** Stanley G. Payne Fascism in Spain, 1923–1977, University of Winscosin Press, p. 156

** George W. Bush, in an NBC interview (24 April 2003)
* In an age of spin, al-Sahaf offers feeling and authenticity. His message is consistent — unshakeable, in fact, no matter the evidence — but he commands daily attention by his on-the-spot, invective-rich variations on the theme. His lunatic counterfactual art is more appealing than the banal awfulness of the Reliable Sources. He is a Method actor in a production that will close in a couple of days. He stands superior to truth.
