Noam Chomsky | Therefore it’s important to distract them

“The bewildered herd is a problem. We’ve got to prevent their roar and trampling. We’ve got to distract them. They should be watching the Superbowl or sitcoms or violent movies. Every once in a while you call on them to chant meaningless slogans like “Support our troops.” You’ve got to keep them pretty scared, because unless they’re properly scared and frightened of all kinds of devils that are going to destroy them from outside or inside or somewhere, they may start to think, which is very dangerous, because they’re not…

Noam Chomsky | why the propaganda system works

“I think there is a good reason why the propaganda system works that way. It recognizes that the public will not support the actual policies. Therefore it is important to prevent any knowledge or understanding of them.” Noam Chomsky “Ich denke, es gibt einen guten Grund, warum das Propagandasystem so funktioniert. Es erkennt, dass die Öffentlichkeit die eigentliche Politik nicht unterstützen wird. Deshalb ist es wichtig, jede Kenntnis oder jedes Verständnis von ihnen zu verhindern.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Hunter S. Thompson | Die Presse ist eine Bande von grausamen Schwuchteln

“The press is a gang of cruel faggots. Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuckoffs and misfits—a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo-cage.” Hunter S. Thompson | Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas “Die Presse ist eine Bande von grausamen Schwuchteln. Journalismus ist weder ein Beruf noch ein Gewerbe….

George Orwell | A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing

“At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to state this or that or the other, but it is “not done”… Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the highbrow periodicals.” George Orwell “Zu jedem Zeitpunkt gibt es eine Orthodoxie, eine Reihe von Ideen, von denen man…

Gore Vidal | The modern dictatorship doesn’t come with brown or black uniforms

“What is a president, then? He is the mouthpiece of the corporations – and nothing else. [….] We are no longer a democracy. We gave up our constitution long ago.

And an education that dumbs down.” Gore Vidal, US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller und Politiker, „Stern“ Nr. 36/2000 “Was ist denn ein Präsident? Er ist das Sprachrohr der Konzerne – und sonst gar nichts. [….] Wir sind keine Demokratie mehr. Wir haben…

Alice Bailey | The Masonic Movement

“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…

Leo Tolstoy | The Anarchists are right in everything

“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution. But it will be instituted only by there being more and more people who do not require the protection of governmental power and by there being more and more people who will be ashamed of applying this power.” Lew Nikolajewitsch Graf Tolstoi…

Arnold Gehlen | devilish is he who erects the kingdom of lies

“And last: devilish is he who erects the kingdom of lies and forces other people to live in it. This still goes beyond the humiliation of spiritual separation, then the kingdom of the perverse world is erected, and the Antichrist wears the mask of the Savior (…). The devil is not the slayer, he is Diabolos, the slanderer, is the ‘God’ in whom the lie is not cowardice, as in man, but domination. He spills the last resort of despair, the knowledge, he instigates the realm of madness, because it…

Alexander Wagandt | Ideology is what is still holding the whole system together

“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…

W.L. Mackenzie King | Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nations laws.

“Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nations laws. Usury, once in control, will wreck any nation. Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most sacred responsibility, all talk of the sovereignty of parliament and of democracy is idle and futile.” William Lyon Mackenzie King (1874-1950 | Premierminister von Kanada) “Sobald sich eine Nation von der Kontrolle über ihre Währung und ihren Kredit trennt, spielt es keine Rolle…

John F. Hylan | The real menace of our republic is this invisible government

“The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation.

The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties.” John F….
