Aldous Huxley | … the greater part of the population is not very intelligent

“… the greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.” Aldous Huxley “Der größte Teil der Bevölkerung ist nicht besonders intelligent, fürchtet die Verantwortung und wünscht nichts sehnlicher, als dass man ihm sagt, was er zu tun hat. Solange die Herrschenden nicht in ihre materiellen Bequemlichkeiten und ihre liebgewonnenen Überzeugungen eingreifen, lässt sie…

Robbie Williams | We’re in a post-truth world

“We’re in a post-truth world where you can’t believe the media, you can’t believe Big Pharma, you can’t believe politicians, you can’t believe what you’re eating, you can’t believe yourself. Since we’ve existed, (if) there is a time where this whole empire could fall, it’s now. Of course these things are going to arise because we can’t trust anybody or anything. And I personally just believe and invest in my wife and my kids and my family. And yeah, I believe in them,” Robbie Williams “Wir leben in einer postfaktischen…

Dr. Robert Mendelsohn | I no longer believe in Modern Medicine

“I no longer believe in Modern Medicine. I believe that despite all the super technology and elite bedside manner… the greatest danger to your health is the doctor who practices Modern Medicine. I believe that Modern Medicine’s treatments for disease are seldom effective, and that they’re often more dangerous than the disease they’re designed to treat. I believe more than 90% of Modern Medicine could disappear from the face of the earth–doctors, hospitals, drugs and equipment—and the effect on our health would be immediate & beneficial…..Modern Medicine can’t survive without…

Howard Zinn | Our problem is civil obedience

“As soon as you say the topic is civil disobedience, you are saying our problem is civil disobedience. That is not our problem…. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is the numbers of people all over the world who have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. And our problem is that scene in All Quiet on the Western Front where the schoolboys march off dutifully in a line to war. Our problem…

Julian Assange | Every time we witness an injustice

“Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love. In a modern economy it is impossible to seal oneself off from injustice. If we have brains or courage, then we are blessed and called on not to frit these qualities away, standing agape at the ideas of others, winning pissing contests, improving the efficiencies of the neocorporate state, or immersing ourselves in obscuranta, but rather to…

Henry Louis Mencken | The urge to save humanity

“The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it. Power is what all messiahs really seek: not the chance to serve. This is true even of the pious brethren who carry the gospel to foreign parts.” Henry Louis Mencken “Der Drang, die Menschheit zu retten, ist fast immer nur ein Deckmantel für den Drang, sie zu beherrschen. Macht ist das, was alle Messiasse wirklich suchen: nicht die Möglichkeit, zu dienen. Das gilt sogar für die frommen Brüder, die das Evangelium in fremde…

Fritz Bauer | no to state injustice

“The certainly stirring but decisive lesson of our trials, however, demands a readiness to say an unequivocal no to state injustice.” The trials demand that people renounce private and family advantages and are also prepared to make personal sacrifices if they are required to do or tolerate evil, even if it is the state that makes itself the advocate of evil.” Fritz Bauer, »Im Namen des Volkes. Die strafrechtliche Bewältigung der Vergangenheit«, in: Helmut Hammerschmidt (Hrsg.), Zwanzig Jahre danach. Eine deutsche Bilanz 1945-1965. München u.a.: Desch Verlag, 1965, S. 314….

Aldous Huxley | A really efficient totalitarian state

“A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.” Aldous Huxley | Schöne neue Welt “Ein wirklich effizienter totalitärer Staat wäre einer, in dem die allmächtige Exekutive der politischen Bosse und ihre Armee von Managern eine Bevölkerung von Sklaven kontrollieren, die nicht gezwungen werden müssen, weil sie ihre Knechtschaft lieben.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Dr. John Coleman | A One World Government […] in the form of a feudal system as it was in the Middle Ages.

“A One World Government and one-unit monetary system under permanent non-elected hereditary oligarchists who self-select from among their numbers in the form of a feudal system as it was in the Middle Ages. In this One World entity, population will be limited by restrictions on the number of children per family, diseases, wars, famines, until 1 billion people who are useful to the ruling class, in areas which will be strictly and clearly defined, remain as the total world population. There will be no middle class, only rulers and servants….

Max Planck | Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind

“Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: Ye must have faith. It is a quality which the scientist cannot dispense with.” Max Planck | ( Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck ) was a German theoretical physicist whose discovery of energy quanta won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 “Jeder, der sich ernsthaft mit wissenschaftlicher Arbeit irgendeiner Art beschäftigt hat, weiß, dass über dem Eingangstor des Tempels…

Marcia Angell | It is simply no longer possible

“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as editor of The New England Journal of Medicine” Marcia Angell | ehem. Chefredakteurin NEJM The New England Journal of Medicine | 15.01.2009 l New York Review “Es ist einfach nicht mehr möglich, einem Großteil der veröffentlichten klinischen Forschung zu glauben oder sich auf…

Richard Horton | The case against science is straightforward

“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness” Richard Horton, Publisher of The Lancet “Das Argument gegen die Wissenschaft ist einfach: Ein Großteil der wissenschaftlichen Literatur, vielleicht die Hälfte, ist einfach unwahr. Geplagt von Studien mit kleinen Stichproben, winzigen Effekten, ungültigen explorativen Analysen und eklatanten Interessenkonflikten,…

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…

Professor Ley | What the FDA is doing, and what the public thinks

“The FDA protects the big drug companies, and is subsequently rewarded, and using the government’s police powers, they attack those who threaten the big drug companies. The thing that bugs me is that people think that the FDA is protecting them, it isn’t. What the FDA is doing, and what the public thinks it is doing are as different as night and day.” Professor Herbert Leonard Ley Jr. | It has been called “the most amazing medical quote ever made by a Harvard professor.” “Die FDA (Food and Drug Administration)…
