Yuval Noah Harari | flooding people with irrelevant information

“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…

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

“[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

“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…

Stefan Zweig | The tales of gouged-out eyes

“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…

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

“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,…

Frank Zappa | The illusion of freedom

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

“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.

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

“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…

Denzel Washington | Anything you practice you’ll get good at — including BS

“If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you do read it, you’re misinformed […] One of the effects is the need to be first, not even to be true anymore. So what a responsibility you all have; to tell the truth, not to just be first, but to tell the truth. We live in a society now where it’s just first. Who cares? Get it out there. We don’t care who it hurts, we don’t care who we destroy, we don’t care if it’s true. Just say it,…

Joseph Stalin | Social-Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism

“Fascism is the bourgeoisie’s fighting organisation that relies on the active support of Social-Democracy. Social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism….

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

“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.
