Russel Brand | the mainstream media is not your friend

“I’ve made a lot of mistakes, I’ve been wrong many times but I’m beginning to think I’m right about this: the mainstream media is not your friend, the culture is not your friend, the government is not your friend, big business is not your friend. They are operating collegiately in unison to create a set of systems that are beneficial to them and disadvantage you.” Russel Brand „the mainstream media is not your friend“ “Ich habe viele Fehler gemacht, ich habe mich oft geirrt, aber langsam glaube ich, dass ich…

Prof. Christoph Degenhart | The broadcasters adopt government lines in an undifferentiated manner

“In the portrayal of political processes, I often see a certain political one-sidedness. For example, when it comes to the topics of ecology or Europeanization, critics are always put in the right-wing corner. [….] The broadcasters adopt government lines in an undifferentiated manner. ARD and ZDF are increasingly acting as an acclamation forum for politics.” Professor Christoph Degenhart | (72 | Leipziger Medienrechtler) “In der Darstellung politischer Prozesse sehe ich oft eine gewisse politische Einseitigkeit. Zum Beispiel werden bei den Themen Ökologie oder Europäisierung Kritiker immer wieder in die rechte…

Edmund Burke | Their passions forge their fetters

“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

“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.

Napoleon Bonaparte | A higher power is pushing me to a goal

“A higher power is pushing me to a goal i don’t know. Until it is reached, i will be invulnerable, unshakeable. As soon as i’m no longer needed, one fly will be enough to knock me down.” Napoleon Bonaparte “Eine höhere Macht treibt mich zu einem Ziel, das ich nicht kenne. Solange es nicht erreicht ist, werde ich unverwundbar sein, unerschütterlich. Sobald ich nicht mehr gebraucht werde, wird eine einzige Fliege genügen, um mich zu Fall zu bringen.” “Une puissance supérieure me pousse à un but que j’ignore. Tant qu’il…

Erich Fromm | Indeed, freedom and the capacity for disobedience are inseparable

“Indeed, freedom and the capacity for disobedience are inseparable; hence any social, political, and religious system which proclaims freedom, yet stamps out disobedience, cannot speak the truth.” Erich Fromm “In der Tat sind Freiheit und die Fähigkeit zum Ungehorsam untrennbar, daher kann jedes soziale, politische und religiöse System, das Freiheit proklamiert, aber Ungehorsam ausmerzt, nicht die Wahrheit sagen” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Roland Baader | Let us free ourselves from the true evil (state counterfeit money)

“It may be too late to avert the financial disaster that lies ahead of us, but we must at least prevent the road to financial ruin from also becoming a road to servitude. Let’s talk our heads off and write our fingers to the bone, let’s make ourselves outsiders and ridiculed figures if necessary, but let’s fight to ensure that the basis of people’s freedom, the market economy, is not presented to them as the alleged culprit and executed by the henchmen of power under the false pretext. Otherwise, it…

John Edgar Hoover | a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists

“The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.” John Edgar Hoover | Gründer und Ex-Direktor des FBI “Der Einzelne hat das Problem, dass er mit einer so monströsen Verschwörung konfrontiert ist, dass er nicht glauben kann, dass sie existiert….

Ayn Rand | You can ignore reality, but you cannot ignore the consequences

„Neither life nor happiness can be achieved by the pursuit of irrational whims. Just as man is free to attempt to survive by any random means, as a parasite, a moocher or a looter, but not free to succeed at it beyond the range of the moment—so he is free to seek his happiness in any irrational fraud, any whim, any delusion, any mindless escape from reality, but not free to succeed at it beyond the range of the moment nor to escape the consequences.“ Ayn Rand Sometimes paraphrased as:…

Erich Fromm | The holders of authority and those who take advantage of it

“The holders of authority and those who take advantage of it must convince people of this fiction and put to sleep their realistic, that is to say, critical, faculty of thought. Every thinking person knows the methods of propaganda, methods by which critical judgment is destroyed and the mind is lulled until it submits to clichés that stultify people because they make them dependent, depriving them of the ability to trust their eyes and their judgment. This function, in which they believe, blinds them to reality.” Erich Fromm “Die Inhaber…

Karl Jaspers | Where is the Federal Republic headed?

“Every four years it elects the Bundestag. The lists or persons submitted to it by the parties are already elected beforehand by the parties. The process of this hidden preliminary election, which is the actual election, is convoluted; the names for the constituency lists and the state lists are not drawn up in the same way. But it is always the party committees, never the people, who would be involved in this decisive beginning. One must be a party member in order to participate somewhere in this election and to…

Caitlin Johnstone | The empire still fears the public

“The empire still fears the public. If it didn’t it wouldn’t bother rolling out so much propaganda ahead of all its depraved actions—it would just act. They work so hard to manufacture our consent because they’re still afraid of what we’ll do to them if we decide we don’t consent.” Caitlin Johnstone | Autorin „Das Imperium hat immer noch Angst vor der Öffentlichkeit. Wenn es das nicht täte, würde es sich nicht die Mühe machen, so viel Propaganda im Vorfeld all seiner verderblichen Aktionen zu verbreiten – es würde einfach…

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

“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…

Rose Wilder Lane | No state, no government exists

“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

“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

“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,…
