Edward L. Bernays | the manipulation of public opinion

“No serious sociologist any longer believes that the voice of the people expresses any divine or specially wise and lofty idea. The voice of the people expresses the mind of the people, and that mind is made up for it by the group leaders in whom it believes and by those persons who understand the manipulation of public opinion. It is composed of inherited prejudices and symbols and cliches and verbal formulas supplied to them by the leaders.” Edward L. Bernays | Propaganda “Kein ernsthafter Soziologe glaubt mehr, dass die…

G. Edward Griffin | They’ve been programmed

“They’ve been programmed and I’m sad because I know that it’s hard for people like that to take an interest – serious interest in world affairs – taken serious interest in what their elected officials are doing and they’re not going to be really inclined to study and or discover the deception that’s being used against them and so I’m sad because I I see all of that in the flash in my mind as being an indication of how easy it is for the masses to be manipulated” G….

Dr. Drew | alles in den Nachrichten Unsinn ist, alles

“I am open to everything now. I’m open to things that I never thought I would have been open to. And I — I really think that the door fully came open. I’ve realized that everything in the — in the news is BS, everything. There’s nothing that I can consume on any legacy media that I can trust. And that is shocking. And that’s disturbing. And it makes you wonder how long it’s been going on for. And I’m concerned, it might have been a very long time.” David…

Wolf Dietrich Schneider | Swine flu was the first epidemic that was not spread by viruses, but by journalists

“Swine flu was the first epidemic that was not spread by viruses, but by journalists. It quickly became clear that it was far less dangerous than our old winter flu – that most people were therefore unsuspecting and stupidly participating in the scaremongering by the pharmaceutical industry. Even the most responsible journalists usually lack a sense of proportion. We should keep this in mind: The great killers of humanity are hunger, malaria, AIDS, contaminated drinking water and road traffic.” Wolf Dietrich Schneider | was a German journalist, non-fiction author and…

Prof. Rainer Mausfeld | The public debating chamber is at the heart of democracy

“The public debating chamber is at the heart of democracy. However, it can only fulfill its function if it is intact in the sense you mentioned. Since the media constitute the public debate space in the first place, they must be designed in such a way that they do not distort it in favor of powerful interest groups. By their very nature, corporate media cannot perform such a task, as their integration into economic power structures almost inevitably makes them an instrument with which powerful economic lobby groups can covertly…

Elon Musk | Some of the smartest people

“Some of the smartest people I know actively believe the press … amazing” Elon Musk Buck Sexton: “So many high IQ people recognize the press as their emotional and cultural enforcers, so they become deeply attached to the propaganda machine- Facts be damned.” Elon Musk: “Well-Said” “Einige der klügsten Menschen, die ich kenne, glauben aktiv der Presse … erstaunlich” Elon Musk Buck Sexton antwortet: “So viele Menschen mit hohem IQ erkennen die Presse als ihre emotionalen und kulturellen Vollstrecker, so dass sie der Propagandamaschine zutiefst verfallen. Fakten werden verdammt.” Elon…

Vladimir Lenin | Why should freedom of speech and freedom of press be allowed?

“Why should freedom of speech and freedom of press be allowed? Why should a government which is doing what it believes to be right allow itself to be criticized? It would not allow opposition by lethal weapons. Ideas are much more fatal things than guns. Why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?” Vladimir Lenin “Warum sollte die Rede- und Pressefreiheit erlaubt sein? Warum sollte eine Regierung, die tut, was sie für richtig hält, zulassen, dass sie kritisiert…

Dr. Jörn Berninger | politically or medially predetermined thought prison

“There are always events that are played up in the media and lead to more and more people subscribing to the opinion given from the outside. This in turn leads them to build up beliefs that become a thought prison. If one is stuck in such a politically or medially predetermined thought prison, one begins to identify with it and hardly finds a way out. You have to look for a loophole to break out of this thought prison.” Dr. Jörn Berninger “Es gibt immer wieder Ereignisse, die in den…

Dr. Markus Krall | After 3 years of propaganda is apparent

“After 3 years of propaganda is apparent: – Covid was just flu – The mortality figures were fake – Masks were useless – Vaccination was useless and harmful – School closures were useless – The high priests of the Covid cult are corrupt profiteers What now?” Dr. Markus Krall “Nach 3 Jahren Propaganda ist offenbar: – Covid war nur eine Grippe – Die Sterblichkeitszahlen waren Fake – Masken waren nutzlos – Die Impfung war nutzlos und schädlich – Schulschließungen waren nutzlos – Die Hohepriester des Covid-Kults sind korrupte Geschäftemacher Was…

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | The most powerful figment of the imagination is public opinion

Max Goldt | This newspaper is an organ of infamy

“This newspaper is an organ of infamy. It is wrong to read it. Someone who contributes to this newspaper is absolutely unacceptable socially. It would be wrong to be friendly or even polite to one of its editors. One must be as unkind to them as the law will just allow. They are bad people who do wrong.” Max Goldt | a german writer, once wrote about the german tabloid „BILD“: “Die Bild-Zeitung ist ein Organ der Niedertracht. Es ist falsch, sie zu lesen. Jemand, der zu dieser Zeitung beiträgt,…

Tony Benn | I think there are two ways in which people are controlled

“I think there are two ways in which people are controlled. First of all, frighten people, and secondly, demoralise them. [….]An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern. And I think there’s an element in the thinking of some people… ‘We don’t want people to be educated, healthy and confident, because they would get out of control.” Anthony „Tony“ Neil Wedgwood Benn | war ein britischer Politiker der Labour Party.

Gustave Le Bon | The masses have never thirsted after truth

“The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim. An individual in a crowd is a grain of sand amid other grains of sand, which the wind stirs up at will.” Gustave Le Bon “Nie haben die Massen nach Wahrheit gedürstet. Von den Tatsachen, die ihnen missfallen, wenden sie sich ab und ziehen…

Jean-Luc Godard | Cannes is a propaganda tool

“Zelensky’s intervention at the Cannes festival goes without saying if you look at it from the angle of what is called “staging”: a bad actor, a professional comedian, under the eye of other professionals in their own professions. I believe I must have said something along these lines a long time ago. It therefore took the staging of yet another world war and the threat of another catastrophe for us to know that Cannes is a propaganda tool like any other. They propagate Western aesthetics whilst thinking it is not…

Erich Limpach | believing yesterday’s lies as today’s truths

“If people continue to allow themselves to be talked into believing yesterday’s lies as today’s truths, then tomorrow’s whip will make them painfully aware, too late, of the dangers that laziness of thought has in its wake.” Erich Limpach (1899 – 1965), deutscher Dichter, Schriftsteller und Aphoristiker “Wenn die Menschen sich weiterhin die Lügen von gestern als die Wahrheiten von heute aufreden lassen, dann wird die Peitsche von morgen ihnen zu spät schmerzhaft bewußt machen, welche Gefahren die Denkfaulheit im Gefolge hat.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

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

“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…

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

“…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…

Elon Musk | you can tell it’s real because it looks so fake

“I think it looks so ridiculous and impossible, you can tell it’s real because it looks so fake, honestly. We’d have way better CGI if it was fake. The colors all look kind of weird in space. There’s no atmospheric occlusion; everything’s too crisp. It’s just literally a normal car in space — I kind of like the absurdity of that, it’s kind of silly and fun, but I think that silly, fun things are important … I think the imagery of it is something that’s going to get people…

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…
