"What makes the difference between a gang and a state is the belief that there is a difference between a gang and a state." Jakub Bożydar Wiśniewski

"Not a day goes by without the mainstream media reporting on some war, epidemic, or other problem in the world. The problem is that this type of reporting, as we find it, is sheer madness. Information is distorted or not mentioned at all. It is the partial truths that make the press so dangerous. Wars are sold as “humanitarian interventions,” diseases are pushed to play into the hands of the pharmaceutical industry. There are always two sides to every coin, but we are only shown one side, which is supposed to be the “truth.” They show us what they want us to see and leave out what does not fit into their desired worldview. At this point, we should ask ourselves whether we want to continue consuming this filth and supporting it financially by buying certain tabloids such as Bild, Spiegel & Co. “Either you rebel, or you become complicit.”" Ignazio Silone

"During lectures, I have repeatedly noticed that it is beneficial to clarify this obvious fact: No, the news is not a reflection of reality, not even a poor one. When we use mainstream media, we observe power relations in terms of definition. Who brings their topics and their view of things to the public? Who can I safely quote, who or what can or must I refer to? Which terms are appropriate and which are not? If the mainstream media say that there is a virus and a disease that I should be afraid of, then I have to take that seriously because those who decide about my life take it seriously. I can claim the opposite and attack the power of definition, but then I have to expect to lose all reputation (Wendler, Hildmann), being transferred (like Friedrich Pürner, head of the health department in the Aichach-Friedberg district until November 2020), or being kicked out of important committees (like Christoph Lütge from the Bavarian Ethics Council in February 2021) without any public resistance." Prof. Dr. Michael Meyen

"The fact that Angela Merkel has been named the most powerful woman in the world is a farce. She is not even the most powerful woman in her own country. The fact that newspapers are now writing that Ursula von der Leyen is the second most powerful woman in Germany is a deliberate attempt by the press to dumb down the public. The two most powerful women in this country are Liz Mohn and Friede Springer – Bertelsmann and Bild Group. The Bild newspaper, which already carries the illiteracy of this country in its name. Bertelsmann and Bild are the vociferous heralds of a moribund system that is dangling from the strings of money lenders worldwide. A wave of Friede Springer's hand is enough, and the hired writers will finally dethrone the chancellor and throw her to her own party to be devoured. Perhaps we will see this happen soon. Those who are truly powerful are certain that they have already lost the favor of the people. That is what makes the chancellor so valuable. For as long as she has the favor of the people, she will be needed. But only as long as she has the favor of those in power will she be able to do so. In biology, this is called symbiosis. But when it is at the expense of the host animal, it is called parasitic symbiosis, and unfortunately, we are the host animal." Georg Schramm alias Lothar Dombrowski

"Christianity will go," he said. "It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now." John Lennon
