Caitlin Johnstone | The empire still fears the public

“The empire still fears the public. If it didn’t it wouldn’t bother rolling out so much propaganda ahead of all its depraved actions—it would just act. They work so hard to manufacture our consent because they’re still afraid of what we’ll do to them if we decide we don’t consent.” Caitlin Johnstone | Autorin „Das Imperium hat immer noch Angst vor der Öffentlichkeit. Wenn es das nicht täte, würde es sich nicht die Mühe machen, so viel Propaganda im Vorfeld all seiner verderblichen Aktionen zu verbreiten – es würde einfach…

Edward Osborne Wilson | We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom

“We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely.” Edward Osborne Wilson “Wir ertrinken in Informationen, während wir nach Weisheit hungern. Die Welt wird in Zukunft von Synthesizern regiert werden, von Menschen, die in der Lage sind, die richtigen Informationen zur richtigen Zeit zusammenzustellen, kritisch darüber nachzudenken und wichtige Entscheidungen mit Bedacht zu treffen.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Erich Fromm | The holders of authority and those who take advantage of it

“The holders of authority and those who take advantage of it must convince people of this fiction and put to sleep their realistic, that is to say, critical, faculty of thought. Every thinking person knows the methods of propaganda, methods by which critical judgment is destroyed and the mind is lulled until it submits to clichés that stultify people because they make them dependent, depriving them of the ability to trust their eyes and their judgment. This function, in which they believe, blinds them to reality.” Erich Fromm “Die Inhaber…

Karl Jaspers | Where is the Federal Republic headed?

“Every four years it elects the Bundestag. The lists or persons submitted to it by the parties are already elected beforehand by the parties. The process of this hidden preliminary election, which is the actual election, is convoluted; the names for the constituency lists and the state lists are not drawn up in the same way. But it is always the party committees, never the people, who would be involved in this decisive beginning. One must be a party member in order to participate somewhere in this election and to…

Henry Louis Mencken | The whole drift of our law

“The whole drift of our law is toward the absolute prohibition of all ideas that diverge in the slightest form from the accepted platitudes, and behind that drift of law there is a far more potent force of growing custom, and under that custom there is a natural philosophy which erects conformity into the noblest of virtues and the free functioning of personality into a capital crime against society.” Henry Louis Mencken “Die ganze Tendenz unseres Gesetzes geht in Richtung des absoluten Verbots aller Ideen, die in der geringsten Form…

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. [….] The modern dictatorship doesn’t come with brown or black uniforms. We do it with entertainment, with television, with fun, fun. 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…

Senator William Jenner | path of total dictatorship

“Today the path of total dictatorship in the United States can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by the Congress, the President, or the people. Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system, another body representing another form of government – a bureaucratic elite.” Senator William Jenner, 1954 “Heute kann der Weg zur totalen Diktatur in den Vereinigten Staaten mit streng legalen Mitteln beschritten werden, unbemerkt und ungehört vom Kongress, dem Präsidenten oder dem Volk. Äußerlich haben wir eine verfassungsmäßige…

George Bernhard Shaw | You have to choose between trusting

“You have to choose between trusting to the natural stability of gold and the natural stability of the honesty and intelligence of the members of the government. And, with due respect to these gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the capitalist system lasts, to vote for gold.” George Bernhard Shaw, irischer Schriftsteller “Sie müssen sich entscheiden, worauf Sie vertrauen wollen. Auf die natürliche Stabilität des Goldes oder auf die Ehrlichkeit und Intelligenz der Regierung. Bei allem schuldigen Respekt für diese Damen und Herren rate ich Ihnen, solange das kapitalistische…

Leo Tolstoy | Money is a new form of slavery

“Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal – that there is no human relation between master and slave.” Lew Nikolajewitsch Graf Tolstoi (Leo Tolstoi | Leo Tolstoy war ein russischer Schriftsteller.) “Geld ist eine neue Form der Sklaverei, die sich von der alten lediglich durch die Tatsache unterscheidet, dass sie unpersönlich ist, dass es keine Zwischenmenschlichkeit zwischen Herr und Sklave gibt.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Ronald Reagan | inflation is a tax and not by accident

“When a business or an individual spends more than it makes, it goes bankrupt. When government does it, it sends you the bill. And when government does it for 40 years, the bill comes in two ways: higher taxes and inflation. Make no mistake about it, inflation is a tax and not by accident.” Ronald Reagan “Wenn ein Unternehmen oder eine Privatperson mehr ausgibt, als sie einnimmt, geht sie bankrott. Wenn der Staat dies tut, schickt er Ihnen die Rechnung. Und wenn der Staat dies 40 Jahre lang tut, kommt…

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. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen….At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. 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….

James Abram Garfield | Whoever controls the volume of money in our country

“Whoever controls the volume of money in our country is absolute master of all industry and commerce…when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.” James Abram Garfield (war ein amerikanischer Politiker und vom 4. März 1881 bis zu seinem Tod infolge eines Attentats der 20. Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten.) “Wer auch immer die Geldmenge in unserem Land kontrolliert, ist der absolute…

Henry Hazlitt | creates money in order to cover its budget deficits

“If a government resorts to inflation, that is, creates money in order to cover its budget deficits or expands credit in order to stimulate business, then no power on earth, no gimmick, device, trick or even indexation can prevent its economic consequences.” Henry Hazlitt “Wenn eine Regierung auf Inflation zurückgreift, d. h. Geld schafft, um ihre Haushaltsdefizite zu decken, oder die Kreditvergabe ausweitet, um die Wirtschaft anzukurbeln, dann kann keine Macht der Welt, kein Trick, keine Vorrichtung, kein Kunstgriff und nicht einmal eine Indexierung die wirtschaftlichen Folgen verhindern.” Nützliche und…

Strobe Talbott | nations as we know it will be obsolete

“In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.” Strobe Talbott “Im nächsten Jahrhundert werden Nationen, wie wir sie kennen, überholt sein; alle Staaten werden eine einzige globale Autorität anerkennen. Die nationale Souveränität war schließlich keine so großartige Idee.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Thomas Sowell | so many successful politicians are such shameless liars

“The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy.” Thomas Sowell, amerikanischer Philosoph “Die Tatsache, dass so viele erfolgreiche Politiker solch schamlose Lügner sind, sagt nicht nur etwas über sie aus, sondern auch über uns. Wenn Menschen das Unmögliche wollen, dann werden nur Lügner genügen.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Curtis Dall | bankers have now acquired full control

“For a long time I felt that FDR had developed many thoughts and ideas that were his own to benefit this country, the United States. But, he didn’t. Most of his thoughts, his political ammunition, as it were, were carefully manufactured for him in advanced by the Council on Foreign Relations-One World Money group. Brilliantly, with great gusto, like a fine piece of artillery, he exploded that prepared “ammunition” in the middle of an unsuspecting target, the American people, and thus paid off and returned his internationalist political support. The…

Senator Daniel K. Inouye | There exists a shadowy Government

“There exists a shadowy Government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself.” Senator Daniel K. Inouye, (während der Iran-Contra-Anhörungen und ehemaliger Vorsitzender der MK-ULTRA-Anhörungen des US-Senats, 1977.) “Es gibt eine Schattenregierung mit einer eigenen Luftwaffe, einer eigenen Marine, einem eigenen Mechanismus zur Kapitalbeschaffung und der Fähigkeit, ihre eigenen Vorstellungen vom nationalen Interesse zu verfolgen, frei von allen Kontrollen und Gegenkontrollen und frei…

J.F.C. Fuller | into the invisible hands of a plutocracy

“The government of the Western nations, whether monarchical or republican, had passed into the invisible hands of a plutocracy, international in power and grasp. It was, I venture to suggest, this semioccult power which….pushed the mass of the American people into the cauldron of World War I.” J.F.C. Fuller (l941 | John Frederick Charles Fuller CB, CBE, DSO war ein britischer Generalmajor, Militärhistoriker und Stratege.) “Die Regierung der westlichen Nationen, ob monarchisch oder republikanisch, war in die unsichtbaren Hände einer Plutokratie übergegangen, mit internationaler Macht und Einflussnahme.

Winston Churchill | the Russian people by the hair

“[Bolshevism] among the Jews is nothing new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States)… this worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the…

Caroll Quigley | people can throw the rascals out at any election

“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but…

Ignazio Silone | You can’t beg your freedom from someone

“Freedom is not something you get as a present,” said Pietro. “You can live in a dictatorship and be free – on one condition: that you fight the dictatorship. The man who thinks with is own mind and keeps it uncorrupted is free. The man who fights for what he thinks is right is free. But you can live in the most democratic country on earth, and if you’re lazy, obtuse or servile within yourself, you’re not free. Even without any violent coercion, you’re a slave. You can’t beg your…

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…
