hello, are these quotes real?

"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" Mao Zedong

“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let’s not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country.” – Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942

i have read these quotes many times in support of rkba, but are they accurate, and not taken out of context.

i could quote the bible and prove God hates gays. so quotes taken out of context don't mean anything to me.

finally, i believe it was proven this quote was false "you cannot invade the mainland united states. there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass" Isoroku Yamamoto

thanks in advance for any info you provide. my apologies for any misinfo.


i posted in the other group as well to get both points of view.
