Fear-Industry Quotes – 239 Selected Sayings

"The easiest way to grab people’s attention is to make them frightened. This is how we are built really as animals.

Yuval Noah Harari

Words Of Wisdom

"Not a day goes by without the mainstream media reporting on some war, epidemic, or other problem in the world. The problem is that this type of reporting, as we find it, is sheer madness. Information is distorted or not mentioned at all. It is the partial truths that make the press so dangerous. Wars are sold as “humanitarian interventions,” diseases are pushed to play into the hands of the pharmaceutical industry. There are always two sides to every coin, but we are only shown one side, which is supposed to be the “truth.” They show us what they want us to see and leave out what does not fit into their desired worldview. At this point, we should ask ourselves whether we want to continue consuming this filth and supporting it financially by buying certain tabloids such as Bild, Spiegel & Co. “Either you rebel, or you become complicit.”"

Ignazio Silone

"When you're watching television, you're watching the news, you're being pumped full of fear. there's floods. There's AIDS. There's murder. Cut to commercial. Buy the Acura. Buy Colgate. If you have bad breath, they're not going to talk to you. If you have pimples, that girl isn't going to fuck you. It's just a campaign of fear and consumption. That's what I think it's based on. This whole idea of 'keep everyone afraid and they'll consume"

Marilyn Manson

"Our task is not to tell the truth; we are opinion molders."

"The lie of tyranny is that you will maintain the freedom of life by obeying authority. The choices it offers you are a lifetime of obedience or death. Evil is the master of deceit. The objective of evil is not violence, but obedience. The purpose of violence is to compel obedience. Its design is the destruction of freedom. Whether submitting to authority and obeying, or allowing it to destroy you physically, you will have lost your freedom. The only way to maintain freedom is to fight tyranny at all times and at all costs."

Jeremy Locke

"Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave"

Frederick Douglass

"We cannot vaccinate our way out of the pandemic. [...] We are currently vaccinating against a variant that no longer exists. [...] Where we no longer have any real protective effect. It was a mistake from the outset to say that we had protection against infection."
