Edmund Burke | Their passions forge their fetters

in

“Until you could make out practically that great work, a combination of opposing forces, “a work of labour long, and endless praise,” the utmost caution ought to have been used in the reduction of the royal power, which alone was capable of holding together the comparatively heterogeneous mass of your states. But at this day, all these considerations are unreasonable. To what end should we discuss the limitations of royal power? Your king is in prison. Why speculate on the measure and standard of liberty? I doubt much, very much…

Barack Obama | Ordinary men and women are too small-minded

in

“Ordinary men and women are too small-minded to govern their own affairs, that order and progress can only come when individuals surrender their rights to an all-powerful sovereign.” Barack Hussein Obama II (Präsident Obama spricht im Palais des Beaux Arts) “Gewöhnliche Männer und Frauen sind zu kleingeistig, um ihre eigenen Angelegenheiten zu regeln. Ordnung und Fortschritt können nur entstehen, wenn der Einzelne seine Rechte an einen allmächtigen Souverän abtritt.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Woody Harrelson | Of course, we live in a completely corrupted world

in ,

“Of course, we live in a completely corrupted world where every government is just a bunch of businessmen working for a bunch of bigger businessmen and none of them give a shit about the people. The sad fact is no one knows how to change it, because no one knows how to take on the corporations. So I guess we’re stuck with this system until the oil runs out.” Woodrow Tracy „Woody“ Harrelson ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler “Natürlich leben wir in einer völlig korrupten Welt, in der jede Regierung nur…

Jean-Luc Godard | Cannes is a propaganda tool

in

“Zelensky’s intervention at the Cannes festival goes without saying if you look at it from the angle of what is called “staging”: a bad actor, a professional comedian, under the eye of other professionals in their own professions. I believe I must have said something along these lines a long time ago. It therefore took the staging of yet another world war and the threat of another catastrophe for us to know that Cannes is a propaganda tool like any other. They propagate Western aesthetics whilst thinking it is not…

Arnold Gehlen | devilish is he who erects the kingdom of lies

in

“And last: devilish is he who erects the kingdom of lies and forces other people to live in it. This still goes beyond the humiliation of spiritual separation, then the kingdom of the perverse world is erected, and the Antichrist wears the mask of the Savior (…). The devil is not the slayer, he is Diabolos, the slanderer, is the ‘God’ in whom the lie is not cowardice, as in man, but domination. He spills the last resort of despair, the knowledge, he instigates the realm of madness, because it…

Alice Bailey | The Masonic Movement

in

“The Masonic Movement when it can be divorced from politics and social ends and from its present paralyzing condition of inertia, will meet the need of those who can, and should, wield power. It is the custodian of the law; it is the home of the Mysteries and the seat of initiation. It holds in its symbolism the ritual of Deity, and the way of salvation is pictorially preserved in its work. The methods of Deity are demonstrated in its Temples, and under the All-seeing Eye the work can go…

George Bernard Shaw | I’m known for my irony

“I’m known for my irony. But the idea of erecting a Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor would not have occurred to even me.” George Bernard Shaw “Ich bin bekannt für meine Ironie. Aber auf den Gedanken, im Hafen von New York eine Freiheitsstatue zu errichten, wäre selbst ich nicht gekommen.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Joseph Sobran | ‘Need’ now means wanting someone else’s money

in

“‘Need’ now means wanting someone else’s money. ‘Greed’ means wanting to keep your own. ‘Compassion’ is when a politician arranges the transfer.” Joseph Sobran “‘Grundbedürfnis’ bedeutet heute, das Geld eines anderen haben zu wollen. ‘Gier’ bedeutet, sein eigenes behalten zu wollen. ‘Mitgefühl’ ist, wenn ein Politiker den Transfer veranlasst.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Marjane Satrapi | the world is not divided into countries

in

“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are…

Leo Tolstoy | The Anarchists are right in everything

in ,

“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution. But it will be instituted only by there being more and more people who do not require the protection of governmental power and by there being more and more people who will be ashamed of applying this power.” Lew Nikolajewitsch Graf Tolstoi…

Alexander Wagandt | Ideology is what is still holding the whole system together

in

“Ideology is what is still holding the whole system together and when that is no longer there…. When people really wake up and realize that they are being held in a mental prison by mental dwarfs, that power dwindles exponentially fast and that is where we are headed. Everything is based on mental, moronic, anti-nature and anti-people concepts. A positive development, however, is that it is becoming more and more transparent.” Alexander Wagandt “Die Ideologie ist das, was das ganze System noch zusammen hält und wenn das nicht mehr vorhanden…

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

in ,

“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…

W.L. Mackenzie King | Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nations laws.

in

“Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nations laws. Usury, once in control, will wreck any nation. Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most sacred responsibility, all talk of the sovereignty of parliament and of democracy is idle and futile.” William Lyon Mackenzie King (1874-1950 | Premierminister von Kanada) “Sobald sich eine Nation von der Kontrolle über ihre Währung und ihren Kredit trennt, spielt es keine Rolle…

Thomas Sowell | so many successful politicians are such shameless liars

“The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy.” Thomas Sowell, amerikanischer Philosoph “Die Tatsache, dass so viele erfolgreiche Politiker solch schamlose Lügner sind, sagt nicht nur etwas über sie aus, sondern auch über uns. Wenn Menschen das Unmögliche wollen, dann werden nur Lügner genügen.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Ignazio Silone | You can’t beg your freedom from someone

in

“Freedom is not something you get as a present,” said Pietro. “You can live in a dictatorship and be free – on one condition: that you fight the dictatorship. The man who thinks with is own mind and keeps it uncorrupted is free. The man who fights for what he thinks is right is free. But you can live in the most democratic country on earth, and if you’re lazy, obtuse or servile within yourself, you’re not free. Even without any violent coercion, you’re a slave. You can’t beg your…

Leo Tolstoy | Money is a new form of slavery

in ,

“Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal – that there is no human relation between master and slave.” Lew Nikolajewitsch Graf Tolstoi (Leo Tolstoi | Leo Tolstoy war ein russischer Schriftsteller.) “Geld ist eine neue Form der Sklaverei, die sich von der alten lediglich durch die Tatsache unterscheidet, dass sie unpersönlich ist, dass es keine Zwischenmenschlichkeit zwischen Herr und Sklave gibt.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Ronald Reagan | inflation is a tax and not by accident

in

“When a business or an individual spends more than it makes, it goes bankrupt. When government does it, it sends you the bill. And when government does it for 40 years, the bill comes in two ways: higher taxes and inflation. Make no mistake about it, inflation is a tax and not by accident.” Ronald Reagan “Wenn ein Unternehmen oder eine Privatperson mehr ausgibt, als sie einnimmt, geht sie bankrott. Wenn der Staat dies tut, schickt er Ihnen die Rechnung. Und wenn der Staat dies 40 Jahre lang tut, kommt…

John F. Hylan | The real menace of our republic is this invisible government

in

“The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen….At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties.” John F….

Bärbel Bohley | the thorough research into the Stasi structures

in

“All these investigations, the thorough research into the Stasi structures, the methods with which they worked and still work, all this will fall into the wrong hands. One will examine these structures in detail – in order to then take them over. They will be adapted a little to fit a free Western society. They won’t necessarily arrest the troublemakers either. There are more subtle ways to disarm someone. But the secret bans, the watching, the suspicion, the fear, the isolation and exclusion, the branding and muzzling of those who…

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…

Karl Kraus | How is the world ruled and led to war?

“How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.” Karl Kraus | (1874 – 1936), österreichischer Schriftsteller, Publizist, Satiriker, Lyriker, Aphoristiker und Dramatiker Quelle: Kraus, Nachts. Aphorismen, 1924. V. 1915 “Wie wird die Welt regiert und in den Krieg geführt? Diplomaten belügen Journalisten und glauben es, wenn sie’s lesen.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Rose Wilder Lane | No state, no government exists

in

“The picture of the economic revolution as the final step to freedom was false as soon as I asked myself that question. For, in actual fact, The State, The Government, cannot exist. They are abstract concepts, useful enough in their place, as the theory of minus numbers is useful in mathematics. In actual living experience, however, it is impossible to subtract anything from nothing; when a purse is empty, it is empty, it cannot contain a minus ten dollars. On this same plane of actuality, no State, no Government, exists….

Noam Chomsky | Therefore it’s important to distract them

in

“The bewildered herd is a problem. We’ve got to prevent their roar and trampling. We’ve got to distract them. They should be watching the Superbowl or sitcoms or violent movies. Every once in a while you call on them to chant meaningless slogans like “Support our troops.” You’ve got to keep them pretty scared, because unless they’re properly scared and frightened of all kinds of devils that are going to destroy them from outside or inside or somewhere, they may start to think, which is very dangerous, because they’re not…

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,…
