"In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself."
Albert Einstein
"The system absorbs those who think they can utilize it. Nor can there be any question of finding a modus vivendi or achieving attenuations. It has been demonstrated how the liberal state becomes an authoritarian state. The course is set and no accommodation will be either lasting or sufficient. In face of this absolute power, only an absolutely negative position is viable. What we have in mind is the attitude that conscientous objectors take on a specific point, and not without good reason. In the present set-up the anarchist attitude of a total refusal of validity or legitimacy to any authority of any kind seems to me to be the only valid and viable one. The point is not to enforce a particular view of society but to establish a counterbalance, a protest, a sign of cleavage. In face of an absolute power only a total confrontation has any meaning."
Jacques Ellul
"Our monetary system gives rise to capitalism, interest, mass poverty, revolt, and ultimately civil war, which leads back to barbarism. Anyone who prefers to exercise their own mind rather than smash the heads of others should study the nature of money."
Silvio Gesell
"[Very] soon, every American will be required to register their biological property in a National system designed to keep track of the people and that will operate under the ancient system of pledging. By such methodology, we can compel people to submit to our agenda, which will affect our security as a chargeback for our fiat paper currency.
Every American will be forced to register or suffer not being able to work and earn a living. They will be our chattel, and we will hold the security interest over them forever, by operation of the law merchant under the scheme of secured transactions. Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering the bills of lading to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, forever to remain economic slaves through taxation, secured by their pledges.
They will be stripped of their rights and given a commercial value designed to make us a profit and they will be none the wiser, for not one man in a million could ever figure our plans and, if by accident one or two would figure it out, we have in our arsenal plausible deniability. After all, this is the only logical way to fund government, by floating liens and debt to the registrants in the form of benefits and privileges.
This will inevitably reap to us huge profits beyond our wildest expectations and leave every American a contributor or to this fraud which we will call “Social Insurance.” Without realizing it, every American will insure us for any loss we may incur and in this manner; every American will unknowingly be our servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any hope for their redemption and, we will employ the high office of the President of our dummy corporation to foment this plot against America."
Edward Mandell House
"Narrow-mindedness as raison d’état. Whether compulsory vaccination, the energy transition, or socio-political coercive measures: in Germany, there is a dogged insistence on every course once chosen, even when it has long since been disproven by reality. One cause is the prevailing cult of consensus, which treats any intellectual flexibility with suspicion. Thus, a fatal bunker mentality has emerged."
Alexander Grau
"Blind obedience to authority is the greatest enemy of truth."
Albert Einstein
"The anarchist is not an enemy of order. He loves order so much that he cannot endure its caricature"
Antonine Artaud
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary."
Henry Louis Mencken
"TIME: Was there a particular kind of terrorism in Germany associated with Baader, Meinhof, and the others?
Helmut Schmidt: I suspect that all forms of terrorism—whether Germany’s RAF, Italy’s Brigate Rosse, the French, the Irish, the Spanish, or Arab groups—differ little in their contempt for human life. They are surpassed by certain forms of state terrorism.
TIME: Are you serious? Who do you mean?
Helmut Schmidt: Let’s leave it at that. But I do mean what I’m saying."
Helmut Schmidt
"Democracy has nothing to do with freedom. Democracy is mob rule—incited by demagogues and steered in an unstable manner. German democracy in particular displays traits of a soft totalitarianism, marked by pervasive self-censorship that is often scarcely even recognized as such."
Prof. Hans Hermann Hoppe
"The fight against the far right has increasingly turned into a fight against one’s own people."
Uwe Heinz Steimle
"Fear of the virus—fear of getting sick, fear of dying—is the most effective distraction one can politically set in motion: to intimidate people and focus them on that fear so completely that, in the end, you can basically do whatever you want with us."
Dr. Hans-Joachim Maaz
"I never thought I'd live to see the day when the right wing would become the cool ones giving the middle finger to the establishment, and the left wing becoming the sniveling self-righteous twatty ones going around shaming everyone."
John Joseph Lydon
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power."
Benito Mussolini
"Fascism, Nazism, Communism and Socialism are only superficial variations of the same monstrous theme—collectivism."
Ayn Rand
"The tactic of the ‘Querdenker’ movement is to gradually fight for control of the streets. The police must act—and if necessary, use pepper spray and batons. We must not give them an inch!"
Saskia Lea Raquel Weishaupt
"I'm not saying they're intentionally trying to shut down small businesses, destroy the middle class, transfer the majority of the wealth to the world's largest corporations, and divide us with fear and hatred. But if they were, what would they be doing differently?"
Notorious-celt
"There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning."
Warren Buffet
