Julian Assange | when asked “Who do you think is the number-one enemy?”

in

„Our number-one enemy is ignorance. And I believe that is the number-one enemy of everyone. It’s not understanding what is actually going on in the world. It’s only once you start to understand that you can make effective decisions and effective plans. Now the question is: who is promoting this ignorance? […] It is bad media. It really is my opinion that the media in general are so bad we have to question whether the world wouldn’t be better off without them all together. They’re so distortive to how the…

Alice Bailey | The Masonic Movement

in

“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…

Thomas Sowell | so many successful politicians are such shameless liars

in

“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…

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

in

“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…

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

in

“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…

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

in

“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…

Leo Tolstoy | The Anarchists are right in everything

in ,

“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…

John Kozy | As such, they exist merely to sell snake oil

in

“America’s journalists are not ‘newshounds’. They are nothing more than salesclerks, hocking the products their employers want to sell. The pretty faces that now function as most television news anchors are no different than the pretty models used to sell other products. The American “free” press is comprised of nothing more than a number of retail outlets which sell stories slanted to please their target audiences. As such, they exist merely to sell snake oil.” John Kozy “Amerikas Journalisten sind keine ‘Nachrichtenjäger’. Sie sind nichts anderes als Verkäufer, die die…

Harald Schmidt | I also know who among the authors is currently behind with their alimony payments

in

“I buy the FAZ on paper – and read NZZ, Spiegel and Bild online before the paywall. But I am just as informed as if I had subscribed to it. When I see the headline and the author, I already know what the text says. I also know who among the authors is currently behind with their alimony payments and therefore has to write in a certain direction.” Harald Schmidt, 63, ist Schauspieler, Autor und früherer TV-Moderator („Die Harald Schmidt Show“). “Ich kaufe die FAZ auf Papier – und lese…

Strobe Talbott | nations as we know it will be obsolete

in

“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…

General Aladeen | Why are you guys so anti-dictators?

in , ,

“Why are you guys so anti-dictators? Imagine if America was a dictatorship. You could let 1% of the people have all the nation’s wealth. You could help your rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes. And bailing them out when they gamble and lose. You could ignore the needs of the poor for health care and education. Your media would appear free, but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family. You could wiretap phones. You could torture foreign prisoners. You could have rigged elections. You could…

H. P. Lovecraft | It is not a true civilization

in

“It is not a true civilization, and has nothing in it to satisfy a mature and fully developed human mind. It is attuned to the mentality of the galley-slave and the moron, and crushes relentlessly with disapproval, ridicule, and economic annihilation any sign of actually independent thought and civilised feeling whith chances to rise above its sodden level. It is a treadmill, squirrel-trap culture – drugged and frenzied with the hashish of industrial servitude and material luxury. It is wholly a material body-culture, and its symbol is the tiled bathroom…

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

in

“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…

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

in

“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 | As societies grow decadent

in

“As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.” Gore Vidal, Imperiales Amerika, 2004 “Wenn Gesellschaften dekadent werden, wird auch die Sprache dekadent. Worte werden benutzt, um Taten zu verschleiern, nicht um sie zu erhellen: Man befreit eine Stadt, indem man sie zerstört. Worte werden benutzt, um zu verwirren, damit die Menschen bei Wahlen feierlich gegen ihre…

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

in

“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….

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

in

“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….

Senator William Jenner | path of total dictatorship

in

“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…

Noam Chomsky | why the propaganda system works

in

“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…

Albert Pike | Fictions are necessary for the people

in

“Fictions are necessary for the people, and the Truth becomes deadly to those who are not strong enough to contemplate it in all its brilliance. In fact, what can there be in common between the vile multitude and sublime wisdom? The Truth must be kept secret, and the masses need a teaching proportioned to their imperfect reason” Albert Pike (der ‘Papst der Freimaurerei’ in den 1800er Jahren) “Fiktionen sind für das Volk notwendig, und die Wahrheit wird für diejenigen tödlich, die nicht stark genug sind, sie in ihrer ganzen Brillanz…

Rudolf Augstein | It does not really matter

Hans Herbert von Arnim | legitimizing power despite its democratic shortcomings

in

“The political class is supported by the many-thousand-voiced chorus of those who are committed to it by the already accomplished or still hoped-for awarding of offices and dignities. The proof of deficiencies is made difficult at the outset by the fact that there is an abundance of thought patterns (paradigms), formulas and theories that support the basic ideological thesis of the quasi-automatic functioning of the system. They seek to close the gap between norm and reality not by improving reality, but by interpreting the norm laxly or by obfuscating reality….
