Press Quotes – Reflections on the Role of the Press

"The tactic of the ‘Querdenker’ movement is to gradually fight for control of the streets. The police must act—and if necessary, use pepper spray and batons. We must not give them an inch!"

Saskia Lea Raquel Weishaupt

"'Enemies of science' are not the people who question numbers, studies, and measures, but those who want to suppress open debate about them. Blaming and excluding others may give us psychological relief, but it won’t solve the COVID crisis—which by now is more of a societal crisis than a purely health-related one."

Dr. Alexander Zinn

"If you have a government of good laws and bad men, you will have a bad government. For bad men will not be bound by good laws."

Robert LeFevre

"We can’t wait for mandatory vaccination to become unnecessary just because infection levels in the population are very high. Omicron as a kind of ‘dirty vaccination’ is not an alternative to a vaccination mandate."

Karl Lauterbach

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."

Claude Frédéric Bastiat

"Rage, my dear young friend, is considered the small, uncontrolled sister of anger. Anger is the shaping force of human civil society."

Thomas von Aquin

"There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning."

Warren Buffet

"The influential news and press agencies are deeply intertwined with the interests of high finance."

Christian Faltermeier

"The mass media are a kind of mouthpiece for the consciousness of the population. If this powerful instrument falls into the wrong hands, it can cause more damage than all available nuclear weapons combined."

Christian Faltermeier

"An obedient, silent, unresisting people is nothing more than an army of spineless slaves and servants."

Horst Bulla

"If a government can define how far criticism of it can go, then criticism is worthless and freedom of expression is an illusion."

H.-Th. Tillschneider

"The situation is clear. And I think my colleagues [doctors who vaccinate children] are being very naive if they don't fully inform patients about what's actually going on. And the political wind can change at any time. And if children die as a result, the statute of limitations only expires after 20 years. And then, as a doctor, you will be sued for negligent homicide and you will go to prison – even after 15 years. [...] I don't think many colleagues understand that."

Dr. med. Gunter Frank

"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself."

Thomas Jefferson

"You're just claiming that I haven't been vaccinated, and I'll leave it at that. In the meantime, I've come up with a phrase inspired by Olaf Scholz: ‘I am on a good and reasonable path to complying with 2G.’ That leaves everything open. Schmidt then remarked mockingly: “I don't want to say any more about it, otherwise I'll quickly get something thrown at my tin foil hat.”"

Harald Schmidt

"Delusion is a self-contained value system that leads to a loss of rationality because it blocks open and critical thinking. When delusion arises in a community, irrational beliefs are amplified in the communal experience, reaching a fever pitch in moments of ecstasy that give individuals a feeling of happiness and power.

Mass delusion can have a neurotic and a psychotic component. Neurosis is the struggle between inner and outer reality. It is designed to win, otherwise it succumbs to panic. Psychosis is a closed value system in which the affected person feels completely secure. They are not in conflict with the reality of the outside world, but live in their own value system, which they perceive as real. A closed system defends its autonomy by developing a self-contained logic and deriving norms from it that must be accepted without question.

People who find themselves in a closed system become blind to reality and, when their irrational forces are unleashed, easily slip into dangerous delusion."

Hermann Broch

"On a metaphysical level, the State, whether real or imagined, is a faith based deity existing in the minds of its believers, generally based on a combination of the adoration of a Great Man along with an illogical fear of a Bogeyman in conjunction with an unblinking faith in the political process. That faith in turn relies on a dramatic opera-like performance on the part of politicians as they attempt to appear relevant, while the shadow government of bureaucrats and corporate/banking puppet masters attempts to remain unseen. All the while the State struggles to provide services it claims the monopolistic right to provide, while miserably failing at providing those services. On the occasion that the State's true nature is revealed and its failures exposed, it always responds by sending in waves of lies by actors on all levels, while systematically discrediting, beating down, or murdering anyone who shines the light on those failures.

The State relies on an incredibly delicate balancing act between the disinterest of its victims, the imagery of a functioning political process, and faith in government-lead progress toward some mythical idea of a better tomorrow, in contrast with the reality of a non-functional puppet political process and an ever growing ever consuming Beast, driving humanity toward world-wide slavery at best, and species wide destruction as a very real possibility."

Ben Stone

"Politicians should wear sponsor jackets like Nascar Drivers. Then we know who owns them."

Robin Williams

"No one in their right mind would let a sixteen-year-old whose parents gave them an anatomy atlas for Christmas remove their appendix. No one who wants to build a house for themselves and their family would hire a sixteen-year-old architect who has only built sandcastles so far. And no one who can tell the difference between a hedge fund and a building society savings agreement would entrust their fortune to a sixteen-year-old. But when it comes to the climate and the world we live in, noisy children suddenly mutate into esteemed prophets of impending doom."

Henryk M. Broder
