Edwin Grant Conklin | Dictators seek to control men’s thoughts

“Dictators seek to control men’s thoughts as well as their bodies and so they attempt to dictate science, education and religion.

Tony Benn | I think there are two ways in which people are controlled

“I think there are two ways in which people are controlled. First of all, frighten people, and secondly, demoralise them. [….]An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern.

José Luis Sampedro | Public opinion is influenced by the media

“Public opinion is influenced by the media and the media are in the hands of those who rule and those who rule favor those who say what is convenient for them and erase everything that does not suit them.

Vince Ebert | They would become afraid of something else virtually overnight

“I’m pretty sure: if the climate change thing was miraculously solved, many Germans wouldn’t breathe a sigh of relief.

Max Goldt | This newspaper is an organ of infamy

“This newspaper is an organ of infamy. It is wrong to read it. Someone who contributes to this newspaper is absolutely unacceptable socially. It would be wrong to be friendly or even polite to one of its editors. One must be as unkind to them as the law will just allow. They are bad people who do wrong.” Max Goldt | a german writer, once wrote about the german tabloid „BILD“: “Die Bild-Zeitung ist ein Organ der Niedertracht. Es ist falsch, sie zu lesen.

Prof. Dr. Knut Löschke | how natural science is turned into a whore of politics

“I’m fed up, or to put it even more clearly: I’m fed up with the permanent and increasingly religious climate gibberish, with energy turnaround fantasies, with electric car worship, with scary stories about doomsday scenarios from Corona to conflagrations to weather catastrophes. I can no longer stand the people who shout this into microphones and cameras every day or print it in newspapers. I suffer from having to witness how natural science is turned into a whore of politics. I am tired of being told what to be ashamed of…

Prof. Reiner Mausfeld | A ‘war against X’ decreed from above

“A ‘war against X’ decreed from above – be it against ‘terror’ or against a pandemic – is never about what is declared to be fought. All that is sold here as a war against a threat must not be successful at all, because its success for the economic and political centers of power lies precisely in not being successful and in remaining as a means of generating fear and securing domination.” Prof. Reiner Mausfeld “Bei einem von oben verordnetem ‚Krieg gegen X‘ – sei es gegen den ‚Terror‘ oder…

Dr. Jörn Berninger | politically or medially predetermined thought prison

“There are always events that are played up in the media and lead to more and more people subscribing to the opinion given from the outside. This in turn leads them to build up beliefs that become a thought prison. If one is stuck in such a politically or medially predetermined thought prison, one begins to identify with it and hardly finds a way out. You have to look for a loophole to break out of this thought prison.” Dr. Jörn Berninger “Es gibt immer wieder Ereignisse, die in den…

Robbie Williams | We’re in a post-truth world

“We’re in a post-truth world where you can’t believe the media, you can’t believe Big Pharma, you can’t believe politicians, you can’t believe what you’re eating, you can’t believe yourself. Since we’ve existed, (if) there is a time where this whole empire could fall, it’s now. Of course these things are going to arise because we can’t trust anybody or anything. And I personally just believe and invest in my wife and my kids and my family. And yeah, I believe in them,” Robbie Williams “Wir leben in einer postfaktischen…

Christine Prayon | Welke & Co. made “atmosphere against those who think differently”

“I have become increasingly uncomfortable with the way the major socially defining issues have been handled since Corona. I’ve also talked to the people in charge there and emphasized that I don’t want to participate in exposing dissenters to ridicule. Satire must not participate in narrowing the discourse. And now this is exactly what is happening again with the war in Ukraine. Narratives and positions of groups that are high up in the social hierarchy are being repeated incessantly, and at the same time the mood is being set against…

Sergei Petrowitsch Kapiza | state of deep hypnosis

“Society sees nothing because it is kept in a state of deep hypnosis. People have never been so manipulated as they are now. A human being is not given a chance to stop and understand what is happening. Endless series, one more stupid than the other, vulgar pop music, lustful or aggressive films that gently affect the subconscious, cultivate a spirit of selfishness and violence. A normal person quickly becomes an unprincipled animal that leads an absolutely meaningless life.” Sergei Petrowitsch Kapiza, Russian physicist “Die Gesellschaft sieht nichts, weil sie…

Vladimir Lenin | Why should freedom of speech and freedom of press be allowed?

“Why should freedom of speech and freedom of press be allowed? Why should a government which is doing what it believes to be right allow itself to be criticized? It would not allow opposition by lethal weapons. Ideas are much more fatal things than guns. Why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?” Vladimir Lenin “Warum sollte die Rede- und Pressefreiheit erlaubt sein? Warum sollte eine Regierung, die tut, was sie für richtig hält, zulassen, dass sie kritisiert…

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

“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….
