MOYO-Film | because it strives to break out of this cognitive cage

in

“Activating collective consciousness is probably one of the most difficult tasks to attempt because people are largely unaware of the extent to which their thinking is governed by tacit rules and predetermined as given, assumed notions that, because they appear as self-evident truth, render ideology invisible. Truly unrestricted intellectual debate feels threatening because it strives to break out of this cognitive cage. Worse, this cage is so insidious that it influences even those who are already outside the mainstream. People are rarely, if ever, persuaded by argument. Those who adopt…

Marshall McLuhan | All media work us over completely

in

“[…] All media work us over completely. They are so pervasive in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological, moral, ethical, and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, unaltered. The medium is the message. Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments.[…] All media are extensions of some human faculty — psychic or physical. […] Media, by altering the environment, evoke in us unique ratios of sense perceptions. The extension of any one sense alters…

Karl Rove | We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality

in

“People like you are still living in what we call the reality-based community. You believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality. That’s not the way the world really works anymore. We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you are studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors, and you, all of you, will be left to just study what…

Eustace Mullins | that not more than eight men ran this country

in

“Senator LaFollette publicly charged that a money trust of fifty men controlled the United States. George F. Baker, partner of J.P. Morgan, on being queried by reporters as to the truth of the charge, replied that it was absolutely in error. He said that he knew from personal knowledge that not more than eight men ran this country.” Eustace Clarence Mullins (Die Geheimnisse der Federal Reserve) “Senator LaFollette beschuldigte öffentlich, dass ein Geldtrust von fünfzig Männern die Vereinigten Staaten kontrolliere. George F. Baker, Partner von J.P. Morgan, antwortete auf die…

Fjodor Dostojewski | A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies

in

“A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying — to others and to yourself.” Fjodor Dostojewski “Ein Mensch, der…

Friedrich Nietzsche | The State is the coldest of all cold monster

in

“The State is the coldest of all cold monsters, and coldly it tells lies, and this lie drones on from its mouth: ‘I, the State, am the people’.” Friedrich Nietzsche “Staat heißt das kälteste aller kalten Ungeheuer. Kalt lügt es auch; und diese Lüge kriecht aus seinem Munde: ‘Ich, der Staat, bin das Volk.'” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Neville T. Jones | the world is supposedly rotating at 1,039 mph at the equator

in

“Whilst we sit drinking our cup of tea or coffee the world is supposedly rotating at 1,039 mph at the equator, whizzing around the Sun at 66,500 mph, hurtling towards Lyra at 20,000 mph, revolving around the centre of the ‘Milky Way’ at 500,000 mph and merrily moving at God knows what velocity as a consequence of the ‘Big Bong.’ And not even a hint of a ripple on the surface of our tea, yet tap the table lightly with your finger and … !” Neville T. Jones “Während wir…

Dr. Tim O’Shea | The shackles of mental control

in

“The shackles of mental control, perceptual filtering and cultural conditioning are harder to throw off today than ever before. We are the most conditioned, programmed beings the world has ever seen. Not only are our thoughts and attitudes continually being shaped and molded; our entire consciousness seems to be subtly and relentlessly erased. The doors of our perception are carefully and precisely controlled. It is an exhaustive and endless task to constantly explain to people how most things of their everyday wisdom are scientifically planted in the public consciousness via…

Yuval Noah Harari | flooding people with irrelevant information

in

“In the past, censorship worked by blocking the flow of information. In the twenty-first century, censorship works by flooding people with irrelevant information. […] In ancient times having power meant having access to data. Today having power means knowing what to ignore.” Yuval Noah Harari (Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow) “In der Vergangenheit hat Zensur durch Abblocken des Informationsflusses gewirkt. Im 21.Jahrhundert wirkt Zensur durch die Flutung mit irrelevanten Informationen. So wissen die Leute nicht mehr, auf was sie sich eigentlich fokussieren sollen. Sie verschwenden ihre Zeit mit Recherchen…

And still they continue to lie.” Alexander Solschenizyn “Wir wissen, sie lügen. Sie wissen, sie lügen. Sie wissen, dass wir wissen, sie lügen. Wir wissen, dass sie wissen, dass wir wissen, sie lügen.

David McGowan | The Moon Landing is essentially the adult version of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.

in

“[The Moon Landing] is essentially the adult version of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. What primarily motivates them is fear. But it is not the lie itself that scares people; it is what that lie says about the world around us and how it really functions. For if NASA was able to pull off such an outrageous hoax before the entire world, and then keep that lie in place for four decades, what does that say about the control of the information we receive? What does…

Graham Hancock | I believe we are a species with amnesia

in

“I believe we are a species with amnesia, I think we have forgotten our roots and our origins. I think we are quite lost in many ways. And we live in a society that invests huge amounts of money and vast quantities of energy in ensuring that we all stay lost. A society that invests in creating unconsciousness, which invests in keeping people asleep so that we are just passive consumers or products and not really asking any of the questions.” Graham Hancock „Ich glaube, wir sind eine Spezies mit…

Jordan Maxwell | Nothing in this world operates the way you think it does

in

“Nothing in this world operates the way you think it does. Banks do not loan money, governments are not empowered to protect you, the police department is not there to serve you, institutions of higher learning, colleges and educational institutes, are not there to educate you. The entire superstructure of civilization in the Western world is a combination of brilliantly put together and planned, well-planned, schemes to direct the minds of the people in such a way as to serve their masters.” Jordan Maxwell “Nichts in dieser Welt funktioniert so,…

Just.A.Thought | People are addicted to mass hysteria

in

“People are addicted to mass hysteria because it’s a way for them to funnel their very real anxieties, fears, sadness and neurotic behaviors into something relatable to other people. It doesn’t feel so lonely if everyone collectively loses their grip on reality together.” Just.A.Thought “Die Menschen sind süchtig nach Massenhysterie, weil sie auf diese Weise ihre sehr realen Ängste, Befürchtungen, Traurigkeit und neurotischen Verhaltensweisen in etwas verwandeln können, das für andere Menschen nachvollziehbar ist. Es fühlt sich nicht so einsam an, wenn alle gemeinsam den Bezug zur Realität verlieren.” Nützliche…

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…

Carl Gustav Jung | The Concept of the Collective Unconscious

in

“My thesis, then, is as follows: In addition to our immediate consciousness, which is of a thoroughly personal nature and which we believe to be the only empirical psyche (even if we tack on the personal unconscious as an appendix), there exists a second psychic system of a collective, universal, and impersonal nature which is identical in all individuals. This collective unconscious does not develop individually but is inherited. It consists of pre-existent forms, the archetypes, which can only become conscious secondarily and which give definite form to certain psychic…

George Orwell | To keep them in control was not difficult

in

“So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern…Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.” George Orwell, 1984 “Solange sie (die Proleten)…

Vilfredo Pareto | All governments use force

in

“All governments use force and all assert that they are founded on reason. In fact, whether universal suffrage prevails or not, it is always an oligarchy that governs, finding ways to give to’the will of the people’the expression which the few desire.” Vilfredo Pareto (Quoted in Arthur Livingstone | The Mind and Society 1935) “Alle Regierungen wenden Gewalt an, und alle behaupten, dass sie auf Vernunft gegründet sind. Unabhängig davon, ob es ein allgemeines Wahlrecht gibt oder nicht, ist es in Wirklichkeit immer eine Oligarchie, die regiert und Wege findet,…

Marshall McLuhan | The ad teams have billions to spend annually on research

in

“No group of sociologists can approximate the ad teams in the gathering and processing of exploitable social data. The ad teams have billions to spend annually on research and testing of reactions, and their products are magnificent accumulations of material about the shared experience and feelings of the entire community.” Marshall McLuhan Philosoph, The Extensions of Man “Keine Gruppe von Soziologen kann den Werbe-Teams bei der Erfassung und Verarbeitung von auswertbaren sozialen Daten annähernd die Stange halten. Die Werbeabteilungen können jährlich Milliarden für Forschung und Tests von Reaktionen ausgeben, und…

Eddy Lawrence Manson | We manipulate people like crazy

in

“We manipulate people like crazy in films and they love it. It’s a tremendous release. Every film composer mixes his experiences with a talent for musical manipulation, then projects that Machiavellian power gut to gut. The big thing about sexy music is the power of suggestion. A song with a porno lyric may cause laughter or embarrassment, but never an invitation to the bedroom. Sensual singing, an insistent beat that builds, suggestive lyrics — these are what turn people on today. One of the biggest motivations in record sales is…

Stephen C. Perkins | psychological warfare, economic and political transformation

in

“The cavalier expression of such sentiments, the resurrection of a dormant specter from the crypt of America’s “cold war” with the former Soviet Union, is meant purely to foster the viral spread of collective apprehension in the fragile heart of the population which, over the centuries, has proved to be the Jesuit order’s most effective tool in the execution of psychological warfare, economic and political transformation (AKA order out of chaos), and social behavioral modification. Turns out, the looming threat of annihilation at the hands of “nuclear weapons” or viral…

Aldous Huxley | man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions

in

“In regard to propaganda, the early advocates of universal literacy and a free press envisaged only two possibilities: the propaganda might be true, or it might be false. They did not foresee what in fact has happened, above all in our Western capitalist democracies — the development of a vast mass communications industry, concerned in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less totally irrelevant. In a word, they failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions.” Aldous…
