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

in

“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….

Aldous Huxley | The really hopeless victims of mental illness

in

“Our “increasing mental sickness” may find expression in neurotic symptoms. These symptoms are conspicuous and extremely distressing. But “let us beware,” says Dr. Fromm, “of defining mental hygiene as the prevention of symptoms. Symptoms as such are not our enemy, but our friend; where there are symptoms there is conflict, and conflict always indicates that the forces of life which strive for integration and happiness are still fighting.” The really hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. “Many of them…

Alexis de Tocqueville | the species of oppression by which democratic nations

in

„I think then that the species of oppression by which democratic nations are menaced is unlike anything which ever before existed in the world: our contemporaries will find no prototype of it in their memories. I am trying myself to choose an expression which will accurately convey the whole of the idea I have formed of it, but in vain; the old words “despotism” and “tyranny” are inappropriate: the thing itself is new; and since I cannot name it, I must attempt to define it. I seek to trace the…

Murray N. Rothbard | The State is that organization in society

Fritz Bauer | no to state injustice

in

Die strafrechtliche Bewältigung der Vergangenheit«, in: Helmut Hammerschmidt (Hrsg.), Zwanzig Jahre danach. Eine deutsche Bilanz 1945-1965. München u.a.: Desch Verlag, 1965, S. 314….

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

“The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation.

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….

Geld schafft, um ihre Haushaltsdefizite zu decken, oder die Kreditvergabe ausweitet, um die Wirtschaft anzukurbeln, dann kann keine Macht der Welt, kein Trick, keine Vorrichtung, kein Kunstgriff und nicht einmal eine Indexierung die wirtschaftlichen Folgen verhindern.” Nützliche und…

“Ready made opinions can be distributed day by day through the press, radio, and so on, again and again, till they reach the nerve cell and implant a fixed pattern in the brain.

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

“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.

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.
