Montagu Norman | their energies in fighting for questions of no importance

“Our principal men are forming an imperialism to govern the world. By dividing the voters through the party political system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for questions of no importance.” Montagu Norman, Gouverneur der Bank Of England (Zitat wird angezweifelt) „Gebt den Leuten ein Spielzeug, mit dem sie sich lange genug beschäftigen können, gebt ihnen ‘Politische Parteien’! Dann werden sie ihre ganze Energie und Klugheit in der sinnlosen Beschäftigung mit Personen und vielen anderen Belanglosigkeiten verballern. So werden sie uns nicht weiter stören und wir…

Noam Chomsky | Most schooling is training for stupidity and conformity

“Most schooling is training for stupidity and conformity, and that’s institutional, but occasionally you get a spark, somebody’ll challenge your mind, make you think and so on, and that has a tremendous effect you just reach all sorts of people. Of course if you do it you may very have problems, you have to tread the narrow line. There are plenty of people who don’t want students to think, they’re afraid of the crisis of democracy. If people start thinking you get all these problems that I quoted before. They…

Theodore Roosevelt | Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government

“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today.” Theodore Roosevelt (Campaign speech 1912) “Hinter der sichtbaren Regierung sitzt auf dem Thron eine unsichtbare Regierung, die dem Volk keine Treue schuldet und keine Verantwortlichkeit anerkennt. Diese unsichtbare Regierung zu vernichten, den gottlosen Bund zwischen korruptem Geschäft und korrupter Politik zu lösen, das ist die Aufgabe…

Edward Griffin “Denn wenn du dem Staat die Befugnis gibst, dir deine Rechte zu gewähren…., hast du ihm im gleichen Atemzug die Befugnis gegeben, sie dir auch wieder zu nehmen.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Murray Rothbard | Limit yourself

“The man who puts all the guns and all the decision-making power into the hands of the central government and then says, ‘Limit yourself’; it is he who is truly the impractical utopian.” Murray Rothbard “Der Mann, der alle Waffen und alle Entscheidungsbefugnisse in die Hände der Zentralregierung legt und dann sagt: ‘Begrenzt euch selbst’, das ist der wahre unrealistische Utopist.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Murray Rothbard | Taxation is nothing but organized theft

“There can be no such thing as ‘fairness in taxation.’ Taxation is nothing but organized theft, and the concept of a ‘fair tax’ is therefore every bit as absurd as that of ‘fair theft’.” Murray Rothbard “So etwas wie ‘Steuergerechtigkeit’ kann es nicht geben. Steuern sind nichts anderes als organisierter Diebstahl, und das Konzept einer ‘gerechten Steuer’ ist daher genauso absurd wie das des ‘gerechten Diebstahls’.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Jesús Huerta de Soto | We are unable to even conceive of the immeasurable achievements, progress

“We are unable to even conceive of the immeasurable achievements, progress, and discoveries of mankind that would be attainable in an entrepreneurial environment freed from all etatism. The creative power of human nature is such that it can take root and flourish even in the narrowest crevices left by the state. But when people realize the essentially perverse nature of the state that coerces them and perceive the immeasurable possibilities that are taken away from them day after day by blocking the driving force of their entrepreneurial creativity, then social…

Thomas Sowell | The welfare state is the oldest con game in the world

“The welfare state is the oldest con game in the world. First you take people’s money away quietly and then you give some of it back to them flamboyantly.” Thomas Sowell “Der Sozialstaat ist der älteste Trickbetrug der Welt. Zuerst nimmst du den Menschen still und heimlich Geld weg und dann gibst du ihnen einen Teil davon mit großem Getöse wieder zurück.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Julian Assange | when asked “Who do you think is the number-one enemy?”

„Our number-one enemy is ignorance. And I believe that is the number-one enemy of everyone. It’s not understanding what is actually going on in the world. It’s only once you start to understand that you can make effective decisions and effective plans. Now the question is: who is promoting this ignorance? […] It is bad media. It really is my opinion that the media in general are so bad we have to question whether the world wouldn’t be better off without them all together. They’re so distortive to how the…

Prof. Dr. Michael Meyen | mainstream media are not a mirror of reality

“The very first thing we have to understand is that the mainstream media are not a mirror of reality. Not even a distorted mirror of reality, but provide us with a reality that is constructed according to its very own points of view. Which is made to influence us in a certain way.” Prof. Dr. Michael Meyen „Wir müssen als aller erstes verstehen, dass die Leitmedien kein Spiegel der Wirklichkeit sind. Nicht mal ein verzerrter Spiegel der Wirklichkeit, sondern uns eine Realität liefern, die nach ganz eigenen Gesichtspunkten konstruiert wird….

James Paul Warburg | We shall have world government

“We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest.” James Paul Warburg (1868-1932), deutsch-amerikanischer Bankier, Architekt des Federal Reserve Systems „Wir werden eine Weltregierung haben, ob wir es wollen oder nicht. Die einzige Frage ist, ob die Weltregierung durch Eroberung oder durch die Zustimmung der Menschen erreicht werden wird.“ Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

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

“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…

Marcus Aurelius | The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority

“The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.” Marcus Aurelius (Zitat ist möglicherweise falsch zugeordnet!) „Das Ziel im Leben ist nicht auf der Seite der Mehrheit zu sein, sondern darin, sich selbst nicht in den Rängen der Wahnsinnigen wiederzufinden.“ Misattributed Quelle: The first citation appears in a translation of Leo Tolstoy’s Bethink Yourselves! The claim made that it is from Marcus Aurelius. Nothing closely resembling it appears in Meditations, nor does it appear…

Lysander Spooner | The Constitution of no Authority

“It is true that the theory of our Constitution is, that all taxes are paid voluntarily; that our government is a mutual insurance company, voluntarily entered into by the people with each other; that each man makes a free and purely voluntary contract with all others who are parties to the Constitution, to pay so much money for so much protection, the same as he does with any other insurance company; and that he is just as free not to be protected, and not to pay any tax, as he…

Sein literarisches Hauptwerk Der Archipel Gulag beschreibt detailliert die Verbrechen des stalinistischen Regimes „Ein marxistisches System erkennt man daran, dass es die Kriminellen verschont und den politischen Gegner kriminalisiert.“ Variante: „Ein totalitäres System erkennt man daran, dass es die Kriminellen verschont und den politischen Gegner kriminalisiert.“ Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Dr. Tim O’Shea | The shackles of mental control

“The shackles of mental control, perceptual filtering and cultural conditioning are harder to throw off today than ever before. We are the most conditioned, programmed beings the world has ever seen. Not only are our thoughts and attitudes continually being shaped and molded; our entire consciousness seems to be subtly and relentlessly erased. The doors of our perception are carefully and precisely controlled. It is an exhaustive and endless task to constantly explain to people how most things of their everyday wisdom are scientifically planted in the public consciousness via…

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

“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…

Albert Schweitzer | I am a free man

“Under no circumstances do I want to be merely a ′common′ man. I have the right to be exceptional – if I can. I want opportunities, not security. I do not want to be a citizen who is humiliated and dulled by government support. I want to encounter risk, have desires and fulfill them, suffer disaster and enjoy success. I refuse to sell my own determination for a pittance. I would prefer to face life’s difficulties rather than lead a secure existence. I prefer the exciting tension of my own…

Michael Crichton | You don’t play ball with the power structure

“…Whoever has the power in society determines what can be studied, determines what can be observed, determines what can be thought. Scientists fall in line with the dominant power structure. They have to, because the power structure pays the bills. You don’t play ball with the power structure, you don’t get money for research, you don’t get an appointment, you don’t get published, in short you don’t count anymore. You’re out. You might as well be dead.” Michael Crichton „…Wer die Macht in der Gesellschaft hat, bestimmt, was studiert werden…

Ayn Rand | you may know that your society is doomed

“Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion- When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing- when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors- when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you- when you see corruption being rewarded…
