Dave Smith | basic human liberties

in

“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…

C.S. Lewis | I do not like the pretensions of Government

in

“I do not like the pretensions of Government — the grounds on which it demands my obedience — to be pitched too high. I don’t like the medicine-man’s magical pretensions nor the Bourbon’s Divine Right. This is not solely because I disbelieve in magic and in Bossuet’s Politique. I believe in God, but I detest theocracy. For every Government consists of mere men and is, strictly viewed, a makeshift; if it adds to its commands ‘Thus saith the Lord’, it lies, and lies dangerously. On just the same ground I…

Gore Vidal | The modern dictatorship doesn’t come with brown or black uniforms

in

“What is a president, then? He is the mouthpiece of the corporations – and nothing else. [….] We are no longer a democracy. We gave up our constitution long ago. [….] The modern dictatorship doesn’t come with brown or black uniforms. We do it with entertainment, with television, with fun, fun. And an education that dumbs down.” Gore Vidal, US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller und Politiker, „Stern“ Nr. 36/2000 “Was ist denn ein Präsident? Er ist das Sprachrohr der Konzerne – und sonst gar nichts. [….] Wir sind keine Demokratie mehr. Wir haben…

Erich Fromm | Indeed, freedom and the capacity for disobedience are inseparable

in

“Indeed, freedom and the capacity for disobedience are inseparable; hence any social, political, and religious system which proclaims freedom, yet stamps out disobedience, cannot speak the truth.” Erich Fromm “In der Tat sind Freiheit und die Fähigkeit zum Ungehorsam untrennbar, daher kann jedes soziale, politische und religiöse System, das Freiheit proklamiert, aber Ungehorsam ausmerzt, nicht die Wahrheit sagen” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Benjamin Constant | When you pay the representatives of the people

John Edgar Hoover | a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists

in

“The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.” John Edgar Hoover | Gründer und Ex-Direktor des FBI “Der Einzelne hat das Problem, dass er mit einer so monströsen Verschwörung konfrontiert ist, dass er nicht glauben kann, dass sie existiert….

Karl Jaspers | Where is the Federal Republic headed?

in

“Every four years it elects the Bundestag. The lists or persons submitted to it by the parties are already elected beforehand by the parties. The process of this hidden preliminary election, which is the actual election, is convoluted; the names for the constituency lists and the state lists are not drawn up in the same way. But it is always the party committees, never the people, who would be involved in this decisive beginning. One must be a party member in order to participate somewhere in this election and to…

Caitlin Johnstone | The empire still fears the public

in

“The empire still fears the public. If it didn’t it wouldn’t bother rolling out so much propaganda ahead of all its depraved actions—it would just act. They work so hard to manufacture our consent because they’re still afraid of what we’ll do to them if we decide we don’t consent.” Caitlin Johnstone | Autorin „Das Imperium hat immer noch Angst vor der Öffentlichkeit. Wenn es das nicht täte, würde es sich nicht die Mühe machen, so viel Propaganda im Vorfeld all seiner verderblichen Aktionen zu verbreiten – es würde einfach…

Georges Bernanos | violence in the service of the totalitarian state

in

“It is not the use of violence that seems to me condemnable, but its mysticism, the religion of violence in the service of the totalitarian state, in the service of the dictatorship of the general welfare, considered not as a means but as an end.” Georges Bernanos (Schriftsteller, wird als “französischer Dostojewski” bezeichnet, “Monsieur Ouine”, “Les Grands Cimetières sous la Lune”, “Nouvelle Histoire de Mouchette” | Frankreich, 1888 – 1948). “Nicht der Gebrauch der Gewalt erscheint mir verdammenswert, sondern ihre Mystik, die Religion der Gewalt im Dienste des totalitären Staates,…

Napoleon Bonaparte | The Jesuits are a MILITARY organization

in

“The Jesuits are a MILITARY organization, not a religious order. Their chief is a general of an army, not the mere father abbot of a monastery. And the aim of this organization is power – power in its most despotic exercise – absolute power, universal power, power to control the world by the volition of a single man [i.e., the Black Pope, the Superior General of the Jesuits]. Jesuitism is the most absolute of despotisms and at the same time the greatest and most enormous of abuses…” Napoleon Bonaparte; 1769-1821;…

Walter Lippmann | The process by which public opinions arise

in

“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. . . ….

Joseph Stalin | Social-Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism

Die Sozialdemokratie ist objektiv der gemäßigte Flügel des Faschismus. […] Diese Organisationen schließen einander nicht aus, sondern ergänzen einander. Das sind keine Antipoden, sondern Zwillingsbrüder.“…

Henry A. Wallace | the bulk of the common people everywhere do not want a third world war

in

“…My brother-in-law, Charles Bruggmann, told me about some friends who were in Dublin, Ireland, recently. At a social gathering were present several Jesuit priests who indicated that one of their supreme purposes was to bring about a war between the United States and Russia. Later on I began to speculate about the forces that are interested in trying to bring about such a war. In addition to a small group in the Catholic hierarchy there is also a small group among the English Tories and a small group in the…

Jordan Maxwell | Nothing in this world operates the way you think it does

in

“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 “Nichts in dieser Welt funktioniert so,…
