"In a democracy, the opposition is not only tolerated as constitutional, but must be maintained because it is indispensable."

"In a democracy, the opposition is not only tolerated as constitutional, but must be maintained because it is indispensable."
Walter Lippmann
""In a money-driven sham democracy, the financial system takes precedence over the law." This is state-legalized fraud. The consequences of this fraud are: exploitation of people and nature, quantitative growth pressure, national debt, privatization, progressive impoverishment of many people, concentration of wealth and power among the richest, corruption, crises, and wars. The mainstream media, corporations, and the ruling political puppets are all part of this fraudulent system."

"If you want to remain a slave to the banks and want them to pay the cost of your own slavery, then let them continue the issue of currency control and regulate the money supply of the nation."
Sir Josiah Stamp
"You can protect a society, you can protect an economy, and you can even protect personal relationships to death."
Prof. Ferdinand Kirchhof
"We have a chancellor who is a liar."
Christian Olearius
"Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas."
Josef Stalin
"Government is the illusion of authority, but more importantly government is mind control. Naturally, since if you want people to believe in this fictitious thing called ‘authority’ you first have to mold the minds of the collective to accept this false ideology. This is what government is. It’s the illusion of some “official” group of people out there who get to tell everybody else what to do and how to do it. The truth is there is no such thing as authority, and government is an illusion that we’ve imposed upon ourselves from the irrational thinking of a controlled mind.
It’s generally agreed that the power of government ultimately comes from the people. Governments seem to have rights that individuals do not. And it’s agreed that it is these individuals that make up government. It doesn’t take much critical thinking to realize that individuals are granting power that they don’t possess to a group of other individuals who call themselves ‘government’. One cannot delegate a right that they do not possess individually. This is one of the fundamental reasons why government is completely and utterly fallacious."
Joe Dubs
"The tactic of the ‘Querdenker’ movement is to gradually fight for control of the streets. The police must act—and if necessary, use pepper spray and batons. We must not give them an inch!"
Saskia Lea Raquel Weishaupt
"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."
Claude Frédéric Bastiat
"The situation is clear. And I think my colleagues [doctors who vaccinate children] are being very naive if they don't fully inform patients about what's actually going on. And the political wind can change at any time. And if children die as a result, the statute of limitations only expires after 20 years. And then, as a doctor, you will be sued for negligent homicide and you will go to prison – even after 15 years. [...] I don't think many colleagues understand that."
Dr. med. Gunter Frank
"Legal bankruptcy is the inability of a legal system to provide justice to those subject to the law. An institution, especially a legal institution, reveals legal bankruptcy, for example, when it allows liars to rise to the top, makes graffiti artists into clerks, fraudsters into cashiers, forgers into recorders, impostors into assessors, and blackmailers into legal supervisors. Under such circumstances, the only promise of improvement lies in a complete return to generally accepted values (e.g., truth, freedom) and legal principles (e.g., pacta sunt servanda, prohibition of arbitrariness, competition, etc.)."
Gerhard Köbler
"For my government, there are no longer any red lines when it comes to what needs to be done."
Olaf Scholz
"It is outrageous how the Federal Constitutional Court judges are delaying the urgent motion, while the federal government even wants to extend the highly controversial ‘federal emergency brake’. The Karlsruhe court is thus acting as a political accomplice instead of fulfilling its supervisory duty. This creates the terrible impression of conformity."
Florian Post
"There is something totalitarian about requiring a person, under threat of punishment, to have a liquid injected into their body. This would only be justified in exceptional cases."
Kai Möller
"Everyone has the right to make his own decisions, but none has the right to force his decision on others."
Ayn Rand
"If you have to be persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized… If all of this is considered necessary to gain your compliance – you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest."
Ian Watson
"[...] As a result, these normative changes mean that a group of members of society is gradually excluded from the ‘universe of general obligation’, which continues to apply to the others, those belonging to the majority society, but now becomes exclusive. As I said, this process is the central prerequisite for the emergence of genocidal processes. For exclusion proceeds from the definition that the group to be excluded, and that means each of its members, is a threat to the well-being and ultimately to the existence of the majority society—which then logically sees its salvation in rendering this group, perceived as threatening, harmless and, in the final analysis, destroying it. That is why all known processes of extermination are preceded by a definition of the threatening group, and this definition is followed by an accelerating social, psychological, material, and legal declassification, which increasingly transforms the initially only claimed otherness of the excluded group into a reality shaped and felt by contemporaries.

"If I ever had a son, he should become something prosaic: a lawyer or a pirate."
Lord Byron
