“A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things, but cannot receive great ones.” Philip Dormer Stanhop |Lord Chesterfield | e, 4. Earl of Chesterfield (1694–1773), a British statesman and writer, known for his letters to his son in which he imparts life wisdom and social rules. The sentence criticizes people who get lost in trivial details while failing to recognize the really important connections – a problem that is more relevant than ever in our time. “Ein schwacher Geist ist wie ein Mikroskop, das unbedeutende Dinge vergrößert,…
“Is any of it real? I mean, look at this, look at it! A world built on fantasy! Synthetic emotions in the form of pills! Psychological warfare in the form of advertising! Mind altering chemicals in the form of food! Brainwashing seminars in the form of media! Controlled isolated bubbles in the form of social networks. Real? You want to talk about reality? We haven’t lived in anything remotely close to it since the turn of the century! We turned it off, took out the batteries, snacked on a bag…
“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns…
“Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups… So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same…
“Mind control isn’t hard to understand. If you do what the TV says, the TV is controlling your mind and you’re not. 2 billion people just pushed an experimental medicine under their skin, which was never healthy, simply because the TV told them to. That’s mind control.” Unknown | (probably Jason Christoff) “Gedankenkontrolle ist nicht schwer zu verstehen. Wenn du das tust, was das Fernsehen sagt, dann kontrolliert das Fernsehen deinen Geist – und nicht du. Zwei Milliarden Menschen haben sich eine experimentelle Medizin unter die Haut spritzen lassen, die…
“Most people don’t see their beliefs. Instead their beliefs tell them what to see. That’s the simple difference between clarity and confusion.” Matt Kahn “Die meisten Menschen erkennen ihre Überzeugungen nicht. Stattdessen sagen ihnen ihre Überzeugungen, was sie sehen sollen. Das ist der einfache Unterschied zwischen Klarheit und Verwirrung.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…
“The nature of psychological compulsion is such that those who act under constraint remain under the impression that they are acting on their own initiative. The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free. That he is not free is apparent only to other people. His servitude is strictly objective.” Aldous Huxley | Brave New World / Brave New World Revisited “Es liegt in der Natur des psychologischen Zwangs, dass derjenige,…
“Gentlemen, as a physicist who has dedicated his entire life to the sober pursuit of science, to the exploration of matter, I am certainly free from the suspicion of being taken for an idle dreamer. And so, after my investigations into the atom, I declare this: There is no such thing as matter in itself. All matter comes into being and persists only through a force—a force that sets the particles of the atom into vibration and binds them together as the minutest solar system of the cosmos. Yet, since…
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels | (Attributed/unexplained) “Wenn man…
“Let us be clear: we are not criticizing practical tolerance, which is exercised towards individuals, but rather theoretical tolerance, which claims to be applied to ideas and grants all ideas the same rights. This would logically imply a radical skepticism. We cannot help noticing that, like all propagandists, the apostles of tolerance, truth to tell, are very often the most intolerant of men. This is what has in fact happened, and it is strangely ironical : those who wished to overthrow all dogma have created for their own use, we…
“Most of the American politicians, media, and educational systems think that they are living during peacetime. False. The United States is in a state of war, undeclared war. It is a total war against the basic value principles and foundation of American society. The ultimate aim of the Marxist ideology was to deconstruct American values, destabilize their economy and provoke crises in order to Sovietize the free world. The highest art of warfare is not to fight at all, but to subvert anything of value in the country of your…
“Most so-called “anarchists” aren’t anarchists at all. The moment they’re confronted with a “scientific authority,” they turn into infantile, wide-eyed children – eager to be told a comforting story so they can put their rose-colored glasses back on and keep dreaming. I can easily picture a podcast hosted by “anarchists,” where both host and guest wear NASA t-shirts – loudly denouncing politicians and power structures, while failing to realize that modern “science” – the new priesthood – is a core pillar of the very system that enslaves them. Because the…

“When did this Modern Age begin? Historical epochs merge into one another, and it may be arbitrary to seek for points of absolute beginning. When, for example, did the Middle Ages begin? When end? It would be futile here to seek an absolute point of division between the past and the epoch that succeeded it. But sometimes there are points at which we can see clearly that by this time something new has already arrived and is bound to transform human history radically. Accordingly, we may take the beginning of…

“It is a great consolation in elections that only one of several candidates can be elected!” Mark Twain | (1835 – 1910), actually Samuel Langhorne Clemens, American storyteller and satirist “Es ist schon ein großer Trost bei Wahlen, daß von mehreren Kandidaten immer nur einer gewählt werden kann!” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state must support Hamas and the transfer of money to Hamas […] This is part of our strategy to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank” Benjamin Netanjahu | right-wing populist Israeli politician. “Wer die Gründung eines palästinensischen Staates vereiteln will, muss die Hamas und den Transfer von Geld an die Hamas unterstützen […] Das ist Teil unserer Strategie, um die Palästinenser in Gaza von den Palästinensern im Westjordanland zu isolieren” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…
“All the notable experts support government policy because you only become a notable expert if you support government policy.” Norbert W. Bolz ist ein deutscher Medien- und Kommunikationstheoretiker, Buchautor sowie Designwissenschaftler. Bis zu seiner Emeritierung im Jahr 2018 lehrte er als Professor für Medienwissenschaften an der TU Berlin “Alle namhaften Experten unterstützen die Regierungspolitik, weil man nur zum namhaften Experten wird, wenn man die Regierungspolitik unterstützt.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…
“When you’ve got to the point when you can celebrate the anniversaries of your 39th birthday you can sit back sometimes, review your life, and see it flowing before you. For me there was a fork in the river, and it was right in the middle of my life. I never meant to go into politics. It wasn’t my intention when I was young. But I was raised to believe you had to pay your way for the blessings bestowed on you. I was happy with my career in the…
“It was very easy, it has nothing to do with Nazism, it has something to do with human nature. You can do it in a Nazi, socialist, communist regime, in a monarchy and even in a democracy. The only thing that needs to be done to enslave people is to scare them. If you manage to find a way to scare people, you can make them do what you want.” Hermann Göring | (Alleged quote from Adolf Hitler’s closest confidant, attributed to Hermann Göring, when asked how the German people…
“The really frightening thing about totalitarianism is not that it commits ‘atrocities’ but that it attacks the concept of objective truth; it claims to control the past as well as the future.” George Orwell | This quote comes from his column “As I Please” in the Tribune newspaper on February 4, 1944, in which Orwell often wrote about political and social issues. It illustrates his criticism of totalitarian regimes and their manipulation of history and reality to gain control over people’s perceptions. “Das wirklich Beängstigende am Totalitarismus ist nicht, dass…
“Don’t speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn’t know the difference. Words are energy and they cast spells, that’s why it’s called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself, and you can change your life.” Bruce Lee “Sprich nicht negativ über dich selbst, auch nicht im Scherz. Dein Körper kennt den Unterschied nicht. Worte sind Energie und bewirken einen Zauber. Ändere die Art und Weise, wie du über dich sprichst, und du kannst dein Leben ändern.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

“Exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union, and show him a concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When the military boot crushes his balls, then he will understand, but not before that. That…
Yuval Noah Harari: Truth was never the highest priority of human society. It was the highest priority of some individuals, but never of society as a whole — because society as a whole does not function on the basis of truth. If you take two of the most powerful institutions of humankind — science and the scientific community, and religion and churches — neither of them has truth as their chief value. For individuals, yes. But as institutions, no. The chief value of science is power. The chief value of…
