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

in

“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…

Carl Gustav Jung | People will do anything, no matter how absurd

in

“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls” Carl Gustav Jung (Psychology and Alchemy (952) Kontext: People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. They will practice Indian yoga and all its exercises, observe a strict regimen of diet, learn the literature of the whole world – all because they cannot get on with themselves and have not the slightest faith that anything useful could ever come out of their own souls. Thus the…

James H. Barry | Its news-gatherers, I sincerely believe, only obey orders

in ,

“You wish to know my “confidential opinion as to the honesty of the Associated Press.” My opinion, not confidential, is that it is the damndest, meanest monopoly on the face of the earth–the wet-nurse for all other monopolies. It lies by day, it lies by night, and it lies for the very lust of lying. Its news-gatherers, I sincerely believe, only obey orders.” James H. Barry | Herausgebers der Wochenzeitung San Francisco Star, zitiert von Upton Sinclair (The Brass Check, Kapitel 59, S. 381.) “Sie möchten meine “vertrauliche Meinung über…

Upton Sinclair | whereby industrial autocracy keeps its control over political democracy

in

„Journalism is one of the devices whereby industrial autocracy keeps its control over political democracy; it is the day-by-day, between-elections propaganda, whereby the minds of the people are kept in a state of acquiescence, so that when the crisis of an election comes, they go to the polls and cast their ballots for either one of the two candidates of their exploiters.“ Upton Sinclair „Der Journalismus ist eines der Mittel, durch die eine wirtschaftliche Autokratie die Demokratie kontrolliert; es ist die alltägliche Propaganda zwischen den Wahlen, durch die das Bewusstsein…

Carl J. Burckhardt | It is one of the most difficult things

in

“It is one of the most difficult things that can be imposed on a thinking man, to have to witness the course of a historical process among ignorant people, whose inevitable outcome he has long known with clarity. The time of the error of others, of false hopes, of blindly committed mistakes then becomes very long.” Carl J. Burckhardt “Es gehört zum Schwierigsten, was einem denkenden Menschen auferlegt werden kann, wissend unter Unwissenden den Ablauf eines historischen Prozesses miterleben zu müssen, dessen unausweichlichen Ausgang er längst mit Deutlichkeit kennt.

Stefan Zweig | The tales of gouged-out eyes

in

“The tales of gouged-out eyes and severed hands which appear on the third or fourth day of every war filled the newspapers. They did not know, those innocents who spread such lies, that the accusation of every possible cruelty against the enemy is as much war materiel as are munitions and planes, and that they are systematically taken out of storage at the beginning of every war. War does not permit itself to be coordinated with reason and righteousness. […] Shakespeare was banned from the German stage, Mozart and Wagner…

Joost A.M. Meerloo | master of the mind

in

“He who dictates and formulates the words and phrases we use, he who is master of the press and radio, is master of the mind. Repeat mechanically your assumptions and suggestions, diminish the opportunity for communicating dissent and opposition. This is the formula for political conditioning of the masses” Joost A.M. Meerloo “Derjenige, der die Worte und Sätze diktiert und formuliert, die wir verwenden, derjenige, der die Presse und das Radio beherrscht, ist auch der Meister des Geistes.

Roland Baader | The word ‘democracy’ is a heavy intoxicant

in

“The word ‘democracy’ is a heavy intoxicant. It prevents learning, clouds the mind, confuses thinking, creates delusions – and eventually makes you sleepy and apathetic. Today’s democracy junkies would murder Socrates again.” Roland Baader “Das Wort ‚Demokratie‘ ist ein schweres Rauschmittel. Es verhindert das Lernen, vernebelt den Verstand, verwirrt das Denken, erzeugt Wahnbilder – und macht schließlich schläfrig und apathisch. Die heutigen Demokratie-Junkies würden Sokrates wieder ermorden.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Daniel Neun | One need only translate the terms “conspiracy theorists” as “heretics”

in

“One need only translate the terms “conspiracy theorists” as “heretics” to know the tradition in which these terms stand and those who use them. Ultimately, it is about the accusation of apostasy from the ruling faith, which is determined by the ruling authorities and majorities. (Faith in this respect can also be translated as ruling doctrine, ideology, etc.). Thus, contrary to the subjective view of many of its users, the terms are themselves expressions of clerical and authoritarian thought structures based on subjugation as a basic psychological pattern. It is…

Anatoliy Golitsyn | Believers think ideology is dying or already dead

in

“Believers think ideology is dying or already dead and that Gorbachev has abandoned the class struggle and taken the ‘capitalist road’. They do not realise that ‘perestroika’ is an expression of ideological strategy and a practical means of reviving ideology. It is not the abandonment of class struggle but a finesse to secure the defeat of the capitalist democracies by the use of capitalist weapons. The class struggle will yet have its bloody feasts. The Western elite believe they are helping the cause of democracy. In fact they are financing…

Bill Hicks | The problem isn’t a lack of money food water or land

Adolphe Ferrière | And they created the school as the devil commanded.

in

“And they created the school as the devil commanded. The child loves nature, so he was locked in four walls. He can not sit without moving, so he was forced into immobility. He likes to work with his hands, and he began to teach theories and ideas. He likes to talk – he was told to remain silent. He seeks to understand – he was commanded to learn by heart. He would like to explore and search for knowledge himself, but he was given them in ready form. And then…

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

in

“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…

Robert Pittman | At MTV, we don’t shoot for the 14 year olds – WE OWN THEM

in

“We’re dealing with a culture of teenage babies, they can watch TV, do their homework, and listen to music all at the same time. The strongest appeal you can make is emotional. If you can get their emotions going, make them forget their logic…you’ve got them. At MTV, we don’t shoot for the 14 year olds – WE OWN THEM,” Robert (Bob) Pittman (boasted in the Philadelphia Inquirer way back in 1982.
