“Biz Çanakkale'ye gittiğimiz zaman, henüz Anafartalar muharebeleri olmamıştı. Mustafa Kemal yarbaydı. Fakat, ilk kahramanlığını göstermiş, Seddülbahir'in şimalinde ve Anafartalar'ın cenubunda İngilizlere ilk zapartayı atmış ve onları Arıburnu'nda dar bir yere mıhlamıştı.
Arıburnu kumandanı Yanyalı Vehip Paşa'nın ağabeyi Esat Paşa idi. Arıburnu'na geldik. Orayı gezerken birdenbire İngilizlerin bir yaylım ateşi, yâni bombardımanı ve aynı zamanda kulağımıza bir de mızıka sesi geldi.
Esat Paşa'ya sordum:
-Paşam bu ne? Mızıka başladı, İngilizlerde de yaylım ateş?
Cevap verdi:
-Dikkat edin, bütün mermiler, şu üst tarafımızdaki Cesaret Tepesi'ne müteveccihtir. Her gün öğle zamanı oldu mu, oranın Fırka Kumandanı Mustafa Kemal, askerine bando ile yemek yedirir ve İngilizlerin, kıyıya dar bir yere mıhladığı için, mızıka sesini duyan gemileri, Mustafa Kemal'e ateşle cevap verirler. Yemek bitince bando kesilir, İngilizler de, sırf hiddetlerinden açtıkları ateşe nihayet verirler.”

“Meritocracy is based on the absolute destruction of the rigged race of life, via the introduction of 100% inheritance tax, i.e. an overwhelming advantage can no longer be passed on by rich parents to their children. All children, no matter the wealth of their parents, must begin at the same starting line as everyone else. No parent can rig the race. The 1% can no longer dictate the outcome of the race”
