Manly P. Hall | when the state governs, he is ruled by fear.

in

“When the mob governs, man is ruled by ignorance; when the church governs, he is ruled by superstition; and when the state governs, he is ruled by fear. Before men can live together in harmony and understanding, ignorance must be transmuted into wisdom, superstition into an illuminated faith, and fear into love.” Manly P. Hall “Wenn der Pöbel regiert, wird der Mensch von Unwissenheit beherrscht; wenn die Kirche regiert, wird er vom Aberglauben beherrscht; und wenn der Staat regiert, wird er von Angst beherrscht. Bevor die Menschen in Harmonie und…

Marshall McLuhan | The ad teams have billions to spend annually on research

in

“No group of sociologists can approximate the ad teams in the gathering and processing of exploitable social data. The ad teams have billions to spend annually on research and testing of reactions, and their products are magnificent accumulations of material about the shared experience and feelings of the entire community.” Marshall McLuhan Philosoph, The Extensions of Man “Keine Gruppe von Soziologen kann den Werbe-Teams bei der Erfassung und Verarbeitung von auswertbaren sozialen Daten annähernd die Stange halten. Die Werbeabteilungen können jährlich Milliarden für Forschung und Tests von Reaktionen ausgeben, und…

Aldous Huxley | The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of democracy

in ,

“The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of democracy, a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not dream of escape. A system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, slaves would love their servitude.” Aldous Huxley (Is doubted and is probably a quote from the „European Graduate School“ see here “Die perfekte Diktatur wird den Anschein einer Demokratie machen, einem Gefängnis ohne Mauern, in dem die Gefangenen nicht einmal davon träumen auszubrechen. Es ist ein System der Sklaverei, bei dem die Sklaven dank Konsum und Unterhaltung ihre Liebe…

Tom Clancy | What the government is good at is collecting taxes

Karl Jaspers | Where is the Federal Republic headed?

in

“Every four years it elects the Bundestag. The lists or persons submitted to it by the parties are already elected beforehand by the parties. The process of this hidden preliminary election, which is the actual election, is convoluted; the names for the constituency lists and the state lists are not drawn up in the same way. But it is always the party committees, never the people, who would be involved in this decisive beginning. One must be a party member in order to participate somewhere in this election and to…

Caitlin Johnstone | The empire still fears the public

in

“The empire still fears the public. If it didn’t it wouldn’t bother rolling out so much propaganda ahead of all its depraved actions—it would just act. They work so hard to manufacture our consent because they’re still afraid of what we’ll do to them if we decide we don’t consent.” Caitlin Johnstone | Autorin „Das Imperium hat immer noch Angst vor der Öffentlichkeit. Wenn es das nicht täte, würde es sich nicht die Mühe machen, so viel Propaganda im Vorfeld all seiner verderblichen Aktionen zu verbreiten – es würde einfach…

Hermann Hesse | I have been and still am a seeker

in ,

“I do not consider myself less ignorant than most people. I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books. I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me. My story is not a pleasant one; it is neither sweet nor harmonious, as invented stories are; it has the taste of nonsense and chaos, of madness and dreams — like the lives of all men who stop deceiving themselves.” Hermann Karl Hesse, Pseudonym: Emil Sinclair, war ein deutsch-schweizerischer Schriftsteller,…

Woody Harrelson | Of course, we live in a completely corrupted world

in ,

“Of course, we live in a completely corrupted world where every government is just a bunch of businessmen working for a bunch of bigger businessmen and none of them give a shit about the people. The sad fact is no one knows how to change it, because no one knows how to take on the corporations. So I guess we’re stuck with this system until the oil runs out.” Woodrow Tracy „Woody“ Harrelson ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler “Natürlich leben wir in einer völlig korrupten Welt, in der jede Regierung nur…

Friedrich Nietzsche | the advent of nihilism

in

“What I relate is the history of the next two centuries. I describe what is coming, what can no longer come differently: the advent of nihilism […] For some time now, our whole European culture has been moving with a tortured tension that is growing from decade to decade, as toward a catastrophe: restlessly, violently, headlong, like a river that wants to reach the end, that no longer reflects, that is afraid to reflect.” Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will to Power “Was ich erzähle, ist die Geschichte der nächsten zwei Jahrhunderte….

Adyashanti | Enlightenment is a destructive process

in

“Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.” Adyashant “Erleuchtung ist ein destruktiver Prozess. Dieser hat nichts mit mit Besserwerden oder Glücklicherwerden zu tun. Erleuchtung ist das Wegbrechen von Unwahrheit. Das Durchschauen der Fassade. Es ist das komplette Ausmerzen von allem, das wir für wahr gehalten haben.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Rose Wilder Lane | No state, no government exists

in

“The picture of the economic revolution as the final step to freedom was false as soon as I asked myself that question. For, in actual fact, The State, The Government, cannot exist. They are abstract concepts, useful enough in their place, as the theory of minus numbers is useful in mathematics. In actual living experience, however, it is impossible to subtract anything from nothing; when a purse is empty, it is empty, it cannot contain a minus ten dollars. On this same plane of actuality, no State, no Government, exists….

Erich Fromm | The holders of authority and those who take advantage of it

in

“The holders of authority and those who take advantage of it must convince people of this fiction and put to sleep their realistic, that is to say, critical, faculty of thought. Every thinking person knows the methods of propaganda, methods by which critical judgment is destroyed and the mind is lulled until it submits to clichés that stultify people because they make them dependent, depriving them of the ability to trust their eyes and their judgment. This function, in which they believe, blinds them to reality.” Erich Fromm “Die Inhaber…

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…

Erich Fromm | Indeed, freedom and the capacity for disobedience are inseparable

“Indeed, freedom and the capacity for disobedience are inseparable; hence any social, political, and religious system which proclaims freedom, yet stamps out disobedience, cannot speak the truth.” Erich Fromm “In der Tat sind Freiheit und die Fähigkeit zum Ungehorsam untrennbar, daher kann jedes soziale, politische und religiöse System, das Freiheit proklamiert, aber Ungehorsam ausmerzt, nicht die Wahrheit sagen” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Voltaire | men can be influenced by making them think for themselves

in

“Controversy never convinced any man; men can be influenced by making them think for themselves, by seeming to doubt with them, by leading them as if by the hand, without their perceiving it. A good book lent to them, which they read at leisure, produces upon them surer effects, because they do not then blush to be subjugated by the superior reason of an antagonist.” Voltaire “Die Kontroverse hat noch nie jemanden überzeugt; man kann die Menschen zur Vernunft bringen, indem man sie dazu verleitet, daß sie selbst denken.

John Edgar Hoover | a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists

in

“The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.” John Edgar Hoover | Gründer und Ex-Direktor des FBI “Der Einzelne hat das Problem, dass er mit einer so monströsen Verschwörung konfrontiert ist, dass er nicht glauben kann, dass sie existiert….

Viktor Emil Frankl | The truth – that love is the ultimate and the highest goal

in

“A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life, I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth – that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.[…] Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he…
