Zitate
Joost A.M. Meerloo | master of the mind
"He who dictates and formulates the words and phrases we use, he who is master of the press and radio, is master of the mind. Repeat mechanically your assumptions and suggestions, diminish the opportunity for communicating dissent and opposition. This is the formula for political conditioning of the masses"
Joost A.M. Meerloo
Friedrich Nietzsche | The State is the coldest of all cold monster
"The State is the coldest of all cold monsters, and coldly it tells lies, and this lie drones on from its mouth: 'I, the State, am the people'."
Friedrich Nietzsche
Dr. Rudolph Virchow | If I could live my life over again
"If I could live my life over again, I would devote it to proving that germs seek their natural habitat-diseased tissue-rather than being the cause of dead tissue. In other words, mosquitoes seek the stagnant water, but do not cause the pool to become stagnant."
Dr. Rudolph Virchow
Alexander Solschenizyn | We know they are lying. They know they are lying
"We know they are lying. They know they are lying. They know that we know they are lying. We know that they know that we know they are lying. And still they continue to lie."
Alexander Solschenizyn
Howard Beale | Listen to me! Television is not the truth
So, you listen to me. Listen to me! Television is not the truth. Television's a goddamn amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers, and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business. So if you want the Truth, go to God. Go to your gurus. Go to yourselves! Because that's the only place you're ever gonna find any real truth. But, man, you're never gonna get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you wanna hear. We lie like hell. We'll tell you that Kojak always gets the killer and that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker's house. And no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry. Just look at your watch. At the end of the hour, he's gonna win. We'll tell you any shit you want to hear. We deal in illusions, man. None of it is true! But you people sit there, day after day, night after night -- all ages, colors, creeds. We're all you know! You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here! You're beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you -- You dress like the tube. You eat like the tube. You raise your children like the tube. You even think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God's name, you people are the real thing. We are the illusion! So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now! Turn them off right now! Turn them off and leave them off. Turn them off right in the middle of this sentence I'm speaking to you now."
Howard Beale
Albert Camus | The welfare of the people
"The welfare of the people…has always been the alibi of tyrants…giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience."
Albert Camus
Robert Higgs | politicians will create an emergency so they can break the law.
"If we let politicians break the law in an emergency, politicians will create an emergency so they can break the law."
Robert Higgs
Graham Hancock | a new era of the Inquisition
"If this is how science operates, by silencing those who express opposing views rather than by debating with them, then science is dead and we are in a new era of the Inquisition."
Graham Hancock
Graham Hancock | I believe we are a species with amnesia
"I believe we are a species with amnesia, I think we have forgotten our roots and our origins. I think we are quite lost in many ways. And we live in a society that invests huge amounts of money and vast quantities of energy in ensuring that we all stay lost. A society that invests in creating unconsciousness, which invests in keeping people asleep so that we are just passive consumers or products and not really asking any of the questions."
Graham Hancock
Aldous Huxley | People will come to love their oppression
"People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think."
Aldous Huxley
Jordan Maxwell | Nothing in this world operates the way you think it does
"Nothing in this world operates the way you think it does. Banks do not loan money, governments are not empowered to protect you, the police department is not there to serve you, institutions of higher learning, colleges and educational institutes, are not there to educate you. The entire superstructure of civilization in the Western world is a combination of brilliantly put together and planned, well-planned, schemes to direct the minds of the people in such a way as to serve their masters."
Jordan Maxwell
Frank Zappa | The illusion of freedom
"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."
Frank Zappa
Just.A.Thought | People are addicted to mass hysteria
"People are addicted to mass hysteria because it’s a way for them to funnel their very real anxieties, fears, sadness and neurotic behaviors into something relatable to other people. It doesn’t feel so lonely if everyone collectively loses their grip on reality together."
Just.A.Thought
Noam Chomsky | governments will use whatever technology
"Governments should not have this capacity. But governments will use whatever technology is available to them to combat their primary enemy – which is their own population"
Noam Chomsky
Herbert George Wells | race between education and catastrophe
"Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe."

Donald Pleasence | News is the most highly developed form of fiction

Donald Pleasence
Willy Brandt | Whoever should once play with the state of emergency
"Whoever should once play with the state of emergency to limit freedom will find my friends and me on the barricades in defense of democracy, and this is meant quite literally."
Willy Brandt
Michael Jackson | Sadly, sadly, we live in a state of fear
“Sadly, sadly, we live in a state of fear. Everyday we hear of war on the news, on the radio and television and the newspapers, always of war. We hear of nations hurting each other, of neighbours hurting each other, of families hurting each other and the children killing each other. We must learn to live and love each other before its too late. We have to stop! We have to stop the prejudice, we have to stop the hating, we have to stop living in fear of our own neighbours. [...] Together … together we can make a change of the world. Together we can help to stop racism. Together we can help to stop prejudice. We can help the world live without fear. Its our only hope, without hope we are lost.”
Michael Jackson
H. L. Mencken | I believe that all government is evil
"I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time."
Henry Louis Mencken
Norbert W. Bolz | All the notable experts
"All the notable experts support government policy because you only become a notable expert if you support government policy."
Norbert W. Bolz
MOYO-Film | because it strives to break out of this cognitive cage
"Activating collective consciousness is probably one of the most difficult tasks to attempt because people are largely unaware of the extent to which their thinking is governed by tacit rules and predetermined as given, assumed notions that, because they appear as self-evident truth, render ideology invisible. Truly unrestricted intellectual debate feels threatening because it strives to break out of this cognitive cage. Worse, this cage is so insidious that it influences even those who are already outside the mainstream."
MOYO-Film
Roland Baader | The word ‘democracy’ is a heavy intoxicant
"The word 'democracy' is a heavy intoxicant. It prevents learning, clouds the mind, confuses thinking, creates delusions - and eventually makes you sleepy and apathetic. Today's democracy junkies would murder Socrates again."
Roland Baader
Roland Baader | Laws are – even and especially in modern democracy
"Laws are - even and especially in modern democracy - rarely instruments that enforce right against wrong, but mostly political tools with which the politically weak are exploited, robbed, suppressed and instrumentalized in favor of the politically strong."
Roland Baader
Daniel Neun | One need only translate the terms “conspiracy theorists” as “heretics”
"One need only translate the terms "conspiracy theorists" as "heretics" to know the tradition in which these terms stand and those who use them. Ultimately, it is about the accusation of apostasy from the ruling faith, which is determined by the ruling authorities and majorities. (Faith in this respect can also be translated as ruling doctrine, ideology, etc.). Thus, contrary to the subjective view of many of its users, the terms are themselves expressions of clerical and authoritarian thought structures based on subjugation as a basic psychological pattern. It is denunciatory, inquisitorial. It is directed against classical skepticism. Thus, the main purpose of these terms can only be to discredit "serious conjectures", hypotheses and facts, and thereby prevent real causal research."
Daniel Neun
Bill Hicks | The problem isn’t a lack of money food water or land
"The problem isn't a lack of money food water or land. The problem is that you've given control of these things to a group of greedy psychopaths who care more about maintaining their own power than helping mankind"
Bill Hicks
Ernest Holmes | Practically the whole human race is hypnotized
"Practically the whole human race is hypnotized because it thinks what somebody else told it to think."
Ernest Holmes
George Orwell | Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful
"Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
George Orwell
