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

in

“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. Das Zusammenspiel von Presse, Radio und Fernsehen…

Tony Cartalucci | Your Real Government

in

“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 | propaganda refines its techniques.

in

“It is with knowledge of the human being, his tendencies, his desires, his needs, his psychic mechanisms, his automatisms as well as knowledge of social psychology and analytical psychology that propaganda refines its techniques.” Jacques Ellul (war ein französischer Soziologe und Theologe.) “Mit der Kenntnis des Menschen, seiner Neigungen, seiner Wünsche, seiner Bedürfnisse, seiner psychischen Mechanismen, seiner Automatismen sowie mit der Kenntnis der Sozialpsychologie und der analytischen Psychologie verfeinert die Propaganda ihre Techniken.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

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. . . ….

Hans-Hermann Hoppe | What is true, just, and beautiful

in

“What is true, just, and beautiful is not determined by popular vote. The masses everywhere are ignorant, short-sighted, motivated by envy, and easy to fool. Democratic politicians must appeal to these masses in order to be elected. Whoever is the best demagogue will win. Almost by necessity, then, democracy will lead to the perversion of truth, justice and beauty.” Hans-Hermann Hoppe “Was wahr, gerecht und schön ist, wird nicht durch Volksabstimmungen bestimmt. Die Massen sind überall unwissend, kurzsichtig, von Neid getrieben und leicht zu täuschen. Demokratische Politiker müssen an diese…

Eustace Mullins | that not more than eight men ran this country

in

“Senator LaFollette publicly charged that a money trust of fifty men controlled the United States. George F. Baker, partner of J.P. Morgan, on being queried by reporters as to the truth of the charge, replied that it was absolutely in error. He said that he knew from personal knowledge that not more than eight men ran this country.” Eustace Clarence Mullins (Die Geheimnisse der Federal Reserve) “Senator LaFollette beschuldigte öffentlich, dass ein Geldtrust von fünfzig Männern die Vereinigten Staaten kontrolliere. George F. Baker, Partner von J.P. Morgan, antwortete auf die…

Adolf Hitler | How fortunate for governments that people do not think

“How fortunate for governments that people do not think. There is no thinking except in giving and executing commands. If it were otherwise human society could not exist.” Adolf Hitler deutscher Diktator 1889 – 1945 am 18./19. Januar 1942 in der Wolfsschanze; Monologe im Führer–Hauptquartier 1941–1944. “Was für ein Glück für die Regierenden, daß die Menschen nicht denken!

Manly P. Hall | when the state governs, he is ruled by fear.

in

“When the mob governs, man is ruled by ignorance; when the church governs, he is ruled by superstition; and when the state governs, he is ruled by fear. Before men can live together in harmony and understanding, ignorance must be transmuted into wisdom, superstition into an illuminated faith, and fear into love.” Manly P. Hall “Wenn der Pöbel regiert, wird der Mensch von Unwissenheit beherrscht; wenn die Kirche regiert, wird er vom Aberglauben beherrscht; und wenn der Staat regiert, wird er von Angst beherrscht. Bevor die Menschen in Harmonie und…

Joost A.M. Meerloo | hammering noises of arguments and propaganda

in

“The continual intrusion into our minds of the hammering noises of arguments and propaganda can lead to two kinds of reactions. It may lead to apathy and indifference, the I-don’t-care reaction, or to a more intensified desire to study and to understand. Unfortunately, the first reaction is the more popular one.” Joost A.M. Meerloo “Das ständige Eindringen des hämmernden Lärms von Argumenten und Propaganda in unsere Köpfe kann zu zwei Arten von Reaktionen führen. Sie kann zu Apathie und Gleichgültigkeit führen, zu einer Reaktion des “Ich kümmere mich nicht darum”,…

Upton Sinclair | whereby industrial autocracy keeps its control over political democracy

in

„Journalism is one of the devices whereby industrial autocracy keeps its control over political democracy; it is the day-by-day, between-elections propaganda, whereby the minds of the people are kept in a state of acquiescence, so that when the crisis of an election comes, they go to the polls and cast their ballots for either one of the two candidates of their exploiters.“ Upton Sinclair „Der Journalismus ist eines der Mittel, durch die eine wirtschaftliche Autokratie die Demokratie kontrolliert; es ist die alltägliche Propaganda zwischen den Wahlen, durch die das Bewusstsein…

James H. Barry | Its news-gatherers, I sincerely believe, only obey orders

in ,

“You wish to know my “confidential opinion as to the honesty of the Associated Press.” My opinion, not confidential, is that it is the damndest, meanest monopoly on the face of the earth–the wet-nurse for all other monopolies. It lies by day, it lies by night, and it lies for the very lust of lying. Its news-gatherers, I sincerely believe, only obey orders.” James H. Barry | Herausgebers der Wochenzeitung San Francisco Star, zitiert von Upton Sinclair (The Brass Check, Kapitel 59, S. 381.) “Sie möchten meine “vertrauliche Meinung über…

Caitlin Johnstone | power-serving worldview

in

“The predominant reason mainstream news reporters say things that aren’t true is because in order to be hired by mainstream news outlets, you need to jack your mind into a power-serving worldview that is not based in truth.” Caitlin Johnstone “Der Hauptgrund dafür, dass die Mainstream-Nachrichtenreporter Dinge berichten, die nicht wahr sind, liegt darin, dass sie, um von den Mainstream-Nachrichtensendern angeworben zu werden, ihre Denkweise mit der herrschenden Weltanschauung gleichschalten müssen, welche nicht auf der Wahrheit beruht.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Napoleon Bonaparte | There is no more good-natured, but also no more gullible people

in

“There is no more good-natured, but also no more gullible people than the Germans. No lie can be conceived treacherous enough, the Germans believe it. They follow a slogan which was given to them, to act against their own countrymen, rather than the real enemies of their country.” Napoleon Bonaparte (Zitat wird angezweifelt) “Es gibt kein gutmütigeres, aber auch kein leichtgläubigeres Volk als das deutsche. Zwiespalt brauchte ich unter ihnen nie zu säen. Ich brauchte nur meine Netze auszuspannen, dann liefen sie wie ein scheues Wild hinein. Untereinander haben sie…

David Rockefelle | We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications

in

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years……It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination…

Murray Rothbard | The function of the statist ideologists

in

“The function of the statist ideologists is to weave the false set of Emperor’s clothes, to convince the public of a massive double standard: that when the State commits the gravest of high crimes it is really not doing so, but doing something else that is necessary, proper, vital, and even – in former ages – by divine command. The age-old success of the ideologists of the State is perhaps the most gigantic hoax in the history of mankind” Murray Rothbard, “The Ethics of Liberty | Die Ethik der Freiheit”…

Larken Rose | In truth, the belief in “government” is a religion

in

“In truth, the belief in “government” is a religion, made up of a set of dogmatic teachings, irrational doctrines which fly in the face of both evidence and logic, and which are methodically memorized and repeated by the faithful. Like other religions, the gospel of “government” describes a superhuman, supernatural entity, above mere mortals, which issues commandments to the peasantry, for whom unquestioning obedience is a moral imperative.” Larken Rose (Der gefährlichste Aberglaube | The Most Dangerous Superstition ) “Der religiöse Glaube an die Autorität zielt deshalb auf die Versklavung…

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | Nothing is more disgusting than the majority

in

“Nothing is more disgusting than the majority: because it consists of a few powerful predecessors, of rogues who adapt themselves, of weak who assimilate themselves, and the masses who imitate without knowing at all what they want.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe „Nichts ist widerwärtiger als die Majorität; denn sie besteht aus wenigen kräftigen Vorgängern, aus Schelmen, die sich akkommodieren, aus Schwachen, die sich assimilieren, und der Masse, die nachtrollt, ohne nur im mindesten zu wissen, was sie will.“ Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Hannah Arendt | The real goal of totalitarian ideology

in

“The real goal of totalitarian ideology is not the transformation of the external conditions of human existence and not the revolutionary reorganization of the social order, but the transformation of human nature itself, which, as it is, constantly opposes the totalitarian process. … What is at stake in total domination is really the essence of man.” Hannah Arendt “Das eigentliche Ziel totalitärer Ideologie ist nicht die Umformung der äußeren Bedingungen menschlicher Existenz und nicht die revolutionäre Neuordnung der gesellschaftlichen Ordnung, sondern die Transformation der menschlichen Natur selbst, die, so wie…

Jean-Claude Juncker | step by step until there is no turning back

“We decide on something, leave it lying around, and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don’t understand what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back.” Jean-Claude Juncker “Wir beschließen etwas, stellen das dann in den Raum und warten einige Zeit ab, was passiert. Wenn es dann kein großes Geschrei gibt und keine Aufstände, weil die meisten gar nicht begreifen, was da beschlossen wurde, dann machen wir weiter – Schritt für Schritt, bis es kein…

Alexis de Tocqueville | democracy | Tyranny | despotism

in

“Tyranny in democratic republics does not proceed in the same way, however. It ignores the body and goes straight for the soul. The master no longer says: You will think as I do or die. He says: You are free not to think as I do. You may keep your life, your property, and everything else. But from this day forth you shall be as a stranger among us. You will retain your civic privileges, but they will be of no use to you. For if you seek the votes…
