Auch die Schreie fallen wie Regen im Sommer.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Dave Smith | basic human liberties

“If you believe that the most basic human liberties ought to be contingent on taking a product from a giant pharmaceutical company then you are not liberal or left wing. You’re not a conservative or patriotic. There is only one word to describe you and that is Fascist.” Dave Smith “Wenn Sie glauben, dass die grundlegendsten menschlichen Freiheiten von der Einnahme eines Produkts eines riesigen Pharmakonzerns abhängig gemacht werden sollten, dann sind Sie nicht liberal oder links. Sie sind weder konservativ noch patriotisch. Es gibt nur ein Wort, um Sie…

David Wardlaw Scott | Children are taught in their geography books, when too young to apprehend aright the meaning of such things

“Children are taught in their geography books, when too young to apprehend aright the meaning of such things, that the world is a great globe revolving around the Sun, and the story is repeated continuously, year by year, till they reach maturity, at which time they generally become so absorbed in other matters as to be indifferent as to whether the teaching be true or not, and, as they hear of nobody contradicting it, they presume that it must be the correct thing, if not to believe at least to…

Michael Meyen | because it couldn’t learn that anywhere

“The first bachelor generation is just climbing the university chairs. People who are perfectly trained in their craft, who have internalized the hegemonic ideology, and who are good advertising media for a system that needs academic confirmation in order to be able to continue to say ‘democracy’. This generation already determines what ‘good science’ is. It fills journals, conference programs, and so eventually textbooks, lectures, and seminars – with topics, perspectives, and terms it has taken from the political agenda and the tenders linked to it, and which it doesn’t…

Carl Sagan | The bamboozle has captured us

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” Carl Sagan “Eine der traurigsten Lehren der Geschichte ist diese: Wenn wir lange genug beschwindelt wurden, neigen wir dazu, jeden Beweis des Schwindels abzulehnen. Wir…

“There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him.” Robert A.

Gustave Le Bon | The masses have never thirsted after truth

“The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim. An individual in a crowd is a grain of sand amid other grains of sand, which the wind stirs up at will.” Gustave Le Bon “Nie haben die Massen nach Wahrheit gedürstet. Von den Tatsachen, die ihnen missfallen, wenden sie sich ab und ziehen…

Michio Kaku | in my field, uses the so-called Scientific Method

“In Science, we always say that you make observations you have a theory you make more observations and it’s a very very tedious process… WRONG! Nobody that I know of in my field, uses the so-called Scientific Method. In our field, it’s by the seat of your pants, it’s leaps of logic, it’s GUESSWORK.” Dr. Michio Kaku “In der Wissenschaft wird immer gesagt dass man Beobachtungen macht, man hat eine Theorie man macht Beobachtungen und es ist ein sehr sehr langweiliger Prozess.

Michio Kaku | the largest mismatch between theory and experiment

“Usually in science, if we’re off by a factor of 2 or a factor of 10, we call that horrible. We say, something’s wrong with the theory. We’re off by a factor of 10! However, in cosmology, we’re off by a factor of 10 to the 120th. That is one with 100 and 20 zeroes after it. This is the largest mismatch between theory and experiment in the history of science.” Michio Kaku “Wenn wir in der Wissenschaft um einen Faktor 2 oder 10 daneben liegen, nennen wir das normalerweise…

Papst Pius XII | Big Bang – Creation – Science

“In fact, it seems that present-day science, with one sweeping step back across millions of centuries, has succeeded in bearing witness to that primordial ‘Fiat lux’ Let there be light uttered at the moment when, along with matter, there burst forth from nothing a sea of light and radiation, while the particles of the chemical elements split and formed into millions of galaxies … Hence, creation took place in time, therefore, there is a Creator, God exists. Although it is neither explicit nor complete, this is the reply we were…

Jean-Luc Godard | Cannes is a propaganda tool

“Zelensky’s intervention at the Cannes festival goes without saying if you look at it from the angle of what is called “staging”: a bad actor, a professional comedian, under the eye of other professionals in their own professions. I believe I must have said something along these lines a long time ago. It therefore took the staging of yet another world war and the threat of another catastrophe for us to know that Cannes is a propaganda tool like any other. They propagate Western aesthetics whilst thinking it is not…

Neil deGrasse Tyson | let the dark lord Satan show you the way

Smedley Darlington Butler | I might have given Al Capone a few hints

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American…

Erich Limpach | believing yesterday’s lies as today’s truths

“If people continue to allow themselves to be talked into believing yesterday’s lies as today’s truths, then tomorrow’s whip will make them painfully aware, too late, of the dangers that laziness of thought has in its wake.” Erich Limpach (1899 – 1965), deutscher Dichter, Schriftsteller und Aphoristiker “Wenn die Menschen sich weiterhin die Lügen von gestern als die Wahrheiten von heute aufreden lassen, dann wird die Peitsche von morgen ihnen zu spät schmerzhaft bewußt machen, welche Gefahren die Denkfaulheit im Gefolge hat.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Billy Corgan | the old deal-with-the devil stuff

“The problem is that there’s not enough money in music as a business model. Where in television and vis-a-vis the advertisers and movies, there’s so much money that the controlling forces still circle around the stars in the right way, stars are taken care of better in those industries. In the music industry it’s still very much this exploitative thing, it’s still very much people signing their lives away, the old deal-with-the devil stuff. That is still going on, it’s unbelievable in this day-and-age that this is still going on.”…

Dr. Angela Merkel | all the major decisions did not have a demoscopic majority when they were made

“But that is precisely why I am also deeply convinced that it is right that we have a representative democracy and not a plebiscitary democracy, and that representative democracy gives us the opportunity for certain periods of time to make decisions, then within these periods of time also to campaign for these decisions and thus to change opinions. Looking back at the history of the Federal Republic, we can say that all the major decisions did not have a demoscopic majority when they were made. The introduction of the social…
