Arnold Gehlen | devilish is he who erects the kingdom of lies

“And last: devilish is he who erects the kingdom of lies and forces other people to live in it. This still goes beyond the humiliation of spiritual separation, then the kingdom of the perverse world is erected, and the Antichrist wears the mask of the Savior (…). The devil is not the slayer, he is Diabolos, the slanderer, is the ‘God’ in whom the lie is not cowardice, as in man, but domination. He spills the last resort of despair, the knowledge, he instigates the realm of madness, because it…

Ignazio Silone | You can’t beg your freedom from someone

“Freedom is not something you get as a present,” said Pietro. “You can live in a dictatorship and be free – on one condition: that you fight the dictatorship. The man who thinks with is own mind and keeps it uncorrupted is free. The man who fights for what he thinks is right is free. But you can live in the most democratic country on earth, and if you’re lazy, obtuse or servile within yourself, you’re not free. Even without any violent coercion, you’re a slave. You can’t beg your…

Rudolf Steiner | to an intolerable tyranny

“What would be in store for mankind, for example, if one wanted to take advantage of the fear of bacilli and create regulations of a legal nature against the fight against bacilli.

James Dresden | Die ideale Tyrannei

Aldous Huxley | The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of democracy

“The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of democracy, a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not dream of escape.

George Orwell | To keep them in control was not difficult

“So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern…Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.” George Orwell, 1984 “Solange sie (die Proleten)…

Vilfredo Pareto | All governments use force

“All governments use force and all assert that they are founded on reason. In fact, whether universal suffrage prevails or not, it is always an oligarchy that governs, finding ways to give to’the will of the people’the expression which the few desire.” Vilfredo Pareto (Quoted in Arthur Livingstone | The Mind and Society 1935) “Alle Regierungen wenden Gewalt an, und alle behaupten, dass sie auf Vernunft gegründet sind. Unabhängig davon, ob es ein allgemeines Wahlrecht gibt oder nicht, ist es in Wirklichkeit immer eine Oligarchie, die regiert und Wege findet,…

Stephen C. Perkins | psychological warfare, economic and political transformation

“The cavalier expression of such sentiments, the resurrection of a dormant specter from the crypt of America’s “cold war” with the former Soviet Union, is meant purely to foster the viral spread of collective apprehension in the fragile heart of the population which, over the centuries, has proved to be the Jesuit order’s most effective tool in the execution of psychological warfare, economic and political transformation (AKA order out of chaos), and social behavioral modification. Turns out, the looming threat of annihilation at the hands of “nuclear weapons” or viral…

Gib ihnen am Morgen eine Lügenzeitung

“Give them a lying newspaper in the morning, let them work a lot during the day for little money and bring the latest manipulated news on TV in the evening, alternating with dumbed-down shows, movies and commercials.

Aldous Huxley | Impersonal forces over which we have almost no control

“Impersonal forces over which we have almost no control seem to be pushing us all in the direction of the Brave New Worldian nightmare; and this impersonal pushing is being consciously accelerated by representatives of commercial and political organizations who have developed a number of new techniques for manipulating, in the interest of some minority, the thoughts and feelings of the masses.” Aldous Huxley, Preface to A Brave New World “Unpersönliche Kräfte, über die wir fast keine Kontrolle haben, scheinen uns alle in Richtung des Albtraums der Schönen Neuen Welt…

Steve Jacobson | Political and economic power

“Political and economic power in the United States is concentrated in the hands of a “ruling elite” that controls most of U.S.-based multinational corporations, major communication media, the most influential foundations, major private universities and most public utilities. Founded in 1921, the Council of Foreign Relations is the key link between the large corporations and the federal government. It has been called a “school for statesmen” and “comes close to being an organ of what C. Wright Mills has called the Power Elite – a group of men, similar in…

Walter Lippmann | The process by which public opinions arise

“That the manufacture of consent is capable of great refinements no one, I think, denies. The process by which public opinions arise is certainly no less intricate than it has appeared in these pages, and the opportunities for manipulation open to anyone who understands the process are plain enough. . . . as a result of psychological research, coupled with the modern means of communication, the practice of democracy has turned a corner. A revolution is taking place, infinitely more significant than any shifting of economic power. . . ….

Tony Cartalucci | Your Real Government

“These organizations represent the collective interests of the largest corporations on earth. They not only retain armies of policy wonks and researchers to articulate their agenda and form a consensus internally, but also use their massive accumulation of unwarranted influence in media, industry, and finance to manufacture a self-serving consensus internationally. To believe that this corporate-financier oligarchy would subject their agenda and fate to the whims of the voting masses is naive at best. They have painstakingly ensured that no matter who gets into office, in whatever country, the guns,…

Jacques Ellul | It is the emergence of mass media which makes possible the use of propaganda techniques on a societal scale

“It is the emergence of mass media which makes possible the use of propaganda techniques on a societal scale. The orchestration of press, radio and television to create a continuous, lasting and total environment renders the influence of propaganda virtually unnoticed precisely because it creates a constant environment. Mass media provides the essential link between the individual and the demands of the technological society.” Jacques Ellul war ein französischer Soziologe und Theologe. “Durch die Massenmedien kann Propaganda auf die gesamte Gesellschaft angewendet werden.
