Erich Limpach | believing yesterday’s lies as today’s truths

in

“If people continue to allow themselves to be talked into believing yesterday’s lies as today’s truths, then tomorrow’s whip will make them painfully aware, too late, of the dangers that laziness of thought has in its wake.” Erich Limpach (1899 – 1965), deutscher Dichter, Schriftsteller und Aphoristiker “Wenn die Menschen sich weiterhin die Lügen von gestern als die Wahrheiten von heute aufreden lassen, dann wird die Peitsche von morgen ihnen zu spät schmerzhaft bewußt machen, welche Gefahren die Denkfaulheit im Gefolge hat.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Billy Corgan | the old deal-with-the devil stuff

in

“The problem is that there’s not enough money in music as a business model. Where in television and vis-a-vis the advertisers and movies, there’s so much money that the controlling forces still circle around the stars in the right way, stars are taken care of better in those industries. In the music industry it’s still very much this exploitative thing, it’s still very much people signing their lives away, the old deal-with-the devil stuff. That is still going on, it’s unbelievable in this day-and-age that this is still going on.”…

Albert Jay Nock | The State, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social

in

“The State, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.” Albert Jay Nock (1870-1945) American libertarian author, editor, educational theorist, Georgist, social critic “Der Staat ist sowohl in seiner…

Aleister Crowley | to delight in dirty and disgusting debauches

in

“I have exposed myself to every form of disease, accident, and violence. I have driven myself to delight in dirty and disgusting debauches, and to devour human excrement and human flesh. I have mastered every mode of my mind and made myself a mortality more severe than any other in the world. 1000 years from now the world will be sitting in the sunset of Crowlianity” Aleister Crowley “Ich habe mich jeder Art von Krankheit, Unfall und Gewalt ausgesetzt. Ich habe mich dazu getrieben, mich an schmutzigen und ekelerregenden Ausschweifungen…

Bill Hicks | a productive member of society

in

“If you want to understand a society, take a good look at the drugs it uses. And what can this tell you about American culture? Well, look at the drugs we use. Except for pharmaceutical poison, there are essentially only two drugs that Western civilization tolerates: Caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that you are living in.” Bill Hicks “Wenn man eine Gesellschaft…

Michio Kaku | in my field, uses the so-called Scientific Method

in

“In Science, we always say that you make observations you have a theory you make more observations and it’s a very very tedious process… WRONG! Nobody that I know of in my field, uses the so-called Scientific Method. In our field, it’s by the seat of your pants, it’s leaps of logic, it’s GUESSWORK.” Dr. Michio Kaku “In der Wissenschaft wird immer gesagt dass man Beobachtungen macht, man hat eine Theorie man macht Beobachtungen und es ist ein sehr sehr langweiliger Prozess. Falsch! Niemand den ich kenne in meiner Umfeld…

Barry Jünemann | Faith is the graveyard of many truths

in

“And still, no one knows! And the truth remains hidden. Faith is the graveyard of many truths. And the mortician is the system of the self-appointed rulers of this earth. However, people often decorate it with the flowers of ignorance! Faith is the most dangerous instrument of the system since ancient Babylon…. and nobody notices it!” Barry Jünemann (deutscher Schriftsteller und Autor.) „Und nach wie vor, keiner weiß es! Und die Wahrheit bleibt im Verborgenen. Der Glaube ist der Friedhof vieler Wahrheiten. Und das Bestattungsunternehmen ist das System der selbsternannten…

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…

H. P. Lovecraft | It is not a true civilization

in

“It is not a true civilization, and has nothing in it to satisfy a mature and fully developed human mind. It is attuned to the mentality of the galley-slave and the moron, and crushes relentlessly with disapproval, ridicule, and economic annihilation any sign of actually independent thought and civilised feeling whith chances to rise above its sodden level. It is a treadmill, squirrel-trap culture – drugged and frenzied with the hashish of industrial servitude and material luxury. It is wholly a material body-culture, and its symbol is the tiled bathroom…

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…

John Kozy | As such, they exist merely to sell snake oil

in

“America’s journalists are not ‘newshounds’. They are nothing more than salesclerks, hocking the products their employers want to sell. The pretty faces that now function as most television news anchors are no different than the pretty models used to sell other products. The American “free” press is comprised of nothing more than a number of retail outlets which sell stories slanted to please their target audiences. As such, they exist merely to sell snake oil.” John Kozy “Amerikas Journalisten sind keine ‘Nachrichtenjäger’. Sie sind nichts anderes als Verkäufer, die die…

General Aladeen | Why are you guys so anti-dictators?

in , ,

“Why are you guys so anti-dictators? Imagine if America was a dictatorship. You could let 1% of the people have all the nation’s wealth. You could help your rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes. And bailing them out when they gamble and lose. You could ignore the needs of the poor for health care and education. Your media would appear free, but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family. You could wiretap phones. You could torture foreign prisoners. You could have rigged elections. You could…

“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.
