Noam Chomsky | The smart way to keep people passive and obedient

in

“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow a very lively debate within that spectrum – even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people a sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of debate.” Noam Chomsky “Der schlaueste Weg, Menschen passiv und gehorsam zu halten, ist, das Spektrum an akzeptabler Meinung streng zu beschränken, aber eine…

Prof. Rainer Mausfeld | The leading media as well as the mass media are business models

in

“The leading media as well as the mass media are business models and serve no more to convey “truth” than the pharmaceutical industry serves to promote public health. Indoctrination is part of the essence of media.” Prof. Rainer Mausfeld | (Interview mit den Nachdenkseiten) “Die Leitmedien ebenso wie die Massenmedien sind Geschäftsmodelle und dienen so wenig der Vermittlung von „Wahrheit“, wie die Pharmaindustrie der Förderung der Volksgesundheit dient. Indoktrination gehört zum Wesenskern von Medien.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Walter Lippmann | a drifting apart of public opinion and published opinion

in

“…a drifting apart of public opinion and published opinion when the selection rules of the journalists who have been brought into line largely coincide. This creates a consonance of reporting that acts like a confirmation to the audience (everyone says it, so it has to be right) and installs a stereotype-supported pseudo-environment” Walter Lippmann | Public Opinion (1922), dt.: Die öffentliche Meinung) “Das Auseinanderdriften von öffentlicher Meinung und veröffentlichter Meinung entsteht, wenn die Auswahlregeln der gleichgeschalteten Journalisten weitgehend übereinstimmen. Dadurch kommt eine Konsonanz der Berichterstattung zustande, die auf das Publikum…

Just.A.Thought | Being a “conspiracy theorist”

in

“Being a “conspiracy theorist” is spending endless hours for years & years gathering as much information as possible from as many resources as possible and critically thinking about what that information means then having people who do nothing but watch TV tell you you’re crazy.” Just.A.Thought “Ein ‚Verschwörungstheoretiker‘ zu sein bedeutet, jahrelang endlose Stunden damit zu verbringen, so viele Informationen wie möglich aus so vielen Quellen wie möglich zu sammeln und kritisch darüber nachzudenken, was diese Informationen bedeuten, und sich dann von Leuten, die nichts anderes tun als fernzusehen, sagen…

James Dresden | Die ideale Tyrannei

in ,

“Die ideale Tyrannei ist die, die ignorant von seinen Opfern selbstverwaltet wird. Die perfektesten Sklaven sind deshalb die, die sich glückselig und unbewusst versklaven lassen.” James Dresden (Niemand scheint die Quelle dieses Zitats zu kennen. Bei Dresden James handelt es sich vermutlich um Donald James Wheal, einen britischen Fernsehautor, Romanautor und Sachbuchautor.) “The ideal tyranny is that which is ignorantly self-administered by its victims. The most perfect slaves are, therefore, those which blissfully and unawaredly enslave themselves.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links Dieses Zitat wird Dresden James zugeschrieben.

Yuval Noah Harari | flooding people with irrelevant information

in

“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.

Karl Rove | We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality

in

“People like you are still living in what we call the reality-based community. You believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality. That’s not the way the world really works anymore. We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you are studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors, and you, all of you, will be left to just study what…

Antoine Bechamp | The Germ Theory of infectious contagious disease is convenient

in ,

“The Germ Theory of infectious contagious disease is convenient because it provides what every simplistic view of a problem seeks before all else: a culprit, an invisible hare for the hounds to chase in their costly research labs, universities, hospitals, and drug factories. The fact that the hare can never be caught is the perfect guarantee that their race will never finish, their demands for funding will never cease, and their ability to generate profits for the drug and chemical corporations will continue to grow.” Montague R. Leverson London, 1911…

Dr. Tim O’Shea | The shackles of mental control

in

“The shackles of mental control, perceptual filtering and cultural conditioning are harder to throw off today than ever before. We are the most conditioned, programmed beings the world has ever seen. Not only are our thoughts and attitudes continually being shaped and molded; our entire consciousness seems to be subtly and relentlessly erased. The doors of our perception are carefully and precisely controlled. It is an exhaustive and endless task to constantly explain to people how most things of their everyday wisdom are scientifically planted in the public consciousness via…

Joost A.M. Meerloo | hammering noises of arguments and propaganda

in

“The continual intrusion into our minds of the hammering noises of arguments and propaganda can lead to two kinds of reactions. It may lead to apathy and indifference, the I-don’t-care reaction, or to a more intensified desire to study and to understand. Unfortunately, the first reaction is the more popular one.” Joost A.M. Meerloo “Das ständige Eindringen des hämmernden Lärms von Argumenten und Propaganda in unsere Köpfe kann zu zwei Arten von Reaktionen führen. Sie kann zu Apathie und Gleichgültigkeit führen, zu einer Reaktion des “Ich kümmere mich nicht darum”,…

Joost A.M. Meerloo | Ready made opinions

in

“Ready made opinions can be distributed day by day through the press, radio, and so on, again and again, till they reach the nerve cell and implant a fixed pattern in the brain. Consequently, guided public opinion is the result, according to Pavlovian theoreticians, of good propaganda technique, and the polls [are] a verification of the temporary successful action of the Pavlovian machinations on the mind.” Joost A.M. Meerloo “Vorgefertigte Meinungen können Tag für Tag über die Presse, das Radio usw. verbreitet werden, immer und immer wieder, bis sie die…

Stefan Zweig | The tales of gouged-out eyes

in

“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…

Upton Sinclair | whereby industrial autocracy keeps its control over political democracy

in

„Journalism is one of the devices whereby industrial autocracy keeps its control over political democracy; it is the day-by-day, between-elections propaganda, whereby the minds of the people are kept in a state of acquiescence, so that when the crisis of an election comes, they go to the polls and cast their ballots for either one of the two candidates of their exploiters.“ Upton Sinclair „Der Journalismus ist eines der Mittel, durch die eine wirtschaftliche Autokratie die Demokratie kontrolliert; es ist die alltägliche Propaganda zwischen den Wahlen, durch die das Bewusstsein…

James H. Barry | Its news-gatherers, I sincerely believe, only obey orders

“You wish to know my “confidential opinion as to the honesty of the Associated Press.” My opinion, not confidential, is that it is the damndest, meanest monopoly on the face of the earth–the wet-nurse for all other monopolies. It lies by day, it lies by night, and it lies for the very lust of lying. Its news-gatherers, I sincerely believe, only obey orders.” James H.

Caitlin Johnstone | power-serving worldview

“The predominant reason mainstream news reporters say things that aren’t true is because in order to be hired by mainstream news outlets, you need to jack your mind into a power-serving worldview that is not based in truth.” Caitlin Johnstone “Der Hauptgrund dafür, dass die Mainstream-Nachrichtenreporter Dinge berichten, die nicht wahr sind, liegt darin, dass sie, um von den Mainstream-Nachrichtensendern angeworben zu werden, ihre Denkweise mit der herrschenden Weltanschauung gleichschalten müssen, welche nicht auf der Wahrheit beruht.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

David Rockefelle | We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications

in

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years……It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination…

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…
