Jonathan Irons
- Jonathan Irons: People don't want freedom. They want boundaries, rules. Protection. From invaders and from themselves. People need a leader who can give them both the support and the constraints to keep chaos at bay. You give them that, and they'll follow... And that's where I come in.
- Jonathan Irons: Many of you have been asking questions. The most common being, "Are we in the stages of developing a weapon capable of mass destruction?" The answer is no. Because we've already built it.
- Jonathan Irons: [giving speech at the United Nations assembly] I am honored to be the first CEO of a private corporation to become a member of the United Nations Security Council. Unfortunately, my appearance today has been clouded by a flurry of speculation that my company is developing a weapon of mass destruction which would be capable of targeting specific ethnic groups. I want to address these allegations head on. Are we developing such a weapon? No we are not. Because we've already developed it. But with all due respect, the United Nations is a relic from a different time when nations were unique in their ability to solve the world's problems. But that just isn't the case anymore. Primarily because you have outsourced the job to me. I have sent people to die in your wars. So I feel uniquely qualified to tell you, your wars don't work! Which is why my priorities have changed; from profits to policy. Because politicians don't know how to solve problems. But I do. So let's be clear: I am here to solve the world's problems. And I believe the world's problems... begin with you.
- Jonathan Irons: The world is asking one question. Why did I attack the United States? The United States has had the world in a constant state of war for over a hundred years. Time and again we have seen the catastrophic results of this belligerent, militaristic policy. These wars haven't led to resolution, or peace. These wars have only lead to more wars. The United States has set the agenda because they wielded the biggest stick. Well no more. This is not the beginning of a war, this is the end of all wars.
- Cormack: [at Will Irons' funeral] It was an unfortunate tragedy, sir.
- Jonathan Irons: It was more than unfortunate, Sergeant. It was unnecessary.
- Jonathan Irons: What you're seeing is advanced warfare. Atlas has the single largest standing military in the world but we answer to no country. Unlike the government we dont keep secrets of our capabilities. We dont sell policy we sell power. We are a superpower for hire.
