Press Quotes – Reflections on the Role of the Press

"I have [...] the impression that most politicians are still not aware just how much they are controlled today by the financial markets, indeed that they are ruled by them."

Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. mult. Hans Tietmeyer

"[Very] soon, every American will be required to register their biological property in a National system designed to keep track of the people and that will operate under the ancient system of pledging. By such methodology, we can compel people to submit to our agenda, which will affect our security as a chargeback for our fiat paper currency.

Every American will be forced to register or suffer not being able to work and earn a living. They will be our chattel, and we will hold the security interest over them forever, by operation of the law merchant under the scheme of secured transactions. Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering the bills of lading to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, forever to remain economic slaves through taxation, secured by their pledges.

They will be stripped of their rights and given a commercial value designed to make us a profit and they will be none the wiser, for not one man in a million could ever figure our plans and, if by accident one or two would figure it out, we have in our arsenal plausible deniability. After all, this is the only logical way to fund government, by floating liens and debt to the registrants in the form of benefits and privileges.

This will inevitably reap to us huge profits beyond our wildest expectations and leave every American a contributor or to this fraud which we will call “Social Insurance.” Without realizing it, every American will insure us for any loss we may incur and in this manner; every American will unknowingly be our servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any hope for their redemption and, we will employ the high office of the President of our dummy corporation to foment this plot against America."

Edward Mandell House

"A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men who, even if their action be honest and intended for the public interest, are necessarily concentrated upon the great undertakings in which their own money is involved and who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations, chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom."

Woodrow Wilson

"Through the artifices of banking and monetary policy one can achieve only a temporary illusion of improvement, which must ultimately lead to an even more severe catastrophe. For the longer this artificial boom is sustained by the creation of additional credit, the greater the damage inflicted on general prosperity by the use of such measures."

Ludwig Heinrich Edler von Mises

"Narrow-mindedness as raison d’état. Whether compulsory vaccination, the energy transition, or socio-political coercive measures: in Germany, there is a dogged insistence on every course once chosen, even when it has long since been disproven by reality. One cause is the prevailing cult of consensus, which treats any intellectual flexibility with suspicion. Thus, a fatal bunker mentality has emerged."

Alexander Grau

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."

Woodrow Wilson

"Mathematics is often invoked for things that could just as well be presented in plain, understandable language—and sometimes even for things that are deliberately not stated too clearly, because otherwise it would quickly become apparent what nonsense lies behind them."

Paul Krugman

"Blind obedience to authority is the greatest enemy of truth."

Albert Einstein

"It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody's beard."

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

"This is why you have labels for anyone expressing skepticism of establishment narratives like “conspiracy theorist”, “useful idiot”, “Russian asset” or “Assadist”; the powerful people who understand that whoever controls the narrative controls the world need labels to separate the faithful from the heathens. It means the same thing as “heretic”."

Caitlin Johnstone

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary."

Henry Louis Mencken

"The plain fact is that education is itself a form of propaganda - a deliberate scheme to outfit the pupil, not with the capacity to weigh ideas, but with a simple appetite for gulping ideas ready-made. The aim is to make 'good' citizens, which is to say, docile and uninquisitive citizens."

Henry Louis Mencken

"I say we close down the national media for 30 days and watch 80% of the world's problems go away."

Unbekannter Autor

"The problem is not people being educated. The problem is that they are educated just enough to believe what they've been taught, but not educated enough to question what they've been taught."

Unbekannter Autor

"And if it continues, then we have to keep going as well. We cannot stop—we cannot say, ‘We’re stopping now with Omicron.’ Omicron will not end the pandemic either, even if that were actually the case—which we will prevent."

Karl Lauterbach

"Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison."

Henry David Thoreau

"TIME: Was there a particular kind of terrorism in Germany associated with Baader, Meinhof, and the others?

Helmut Schmidt: I suspect that all forms of terrorism—whether Germany’s RAF, Italy’s Brigate Rosse, the French, the Irish, the Spanish, or Arab groups—differ little in their contempt for human life. They are surpassed by certain forms of state terrorism.

TIME: Are you serious? Who do you mean?

Helmut Schmidt: Let’s leave it at that. But I do mean what I’m saying."

Helmut Schmidt

"Time and again, we also find ourselves noticing that we live in a country that is deeply ill—in a landscape of lies—and that there are people at every level of education who will lie to the very end."

Joachim Gauck
