Michael Crichton | You don’t play ball with the power structure

“…Whoever has the power in society determines what can be studied, determines what can be observed, determines what can be thought. Scientists fall in line with the dominant power structure. They have to, because the power structure pays the bills. You don’t play ball with the power structure, you don’t get money for research, you don’t get an appointment, you don’t get published, in short you don’t count anymore. You’re out. You might as well be dead.” Michael Crichton „…Wer die Macht in der Gesellschaft hat, bestimmt, was studiert werden…

Caitlin Johnstone | The empire still fears the public

“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…

Ayn Rand | you may know that your society is doomed

“Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion- When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing- when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors- when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you- when you see corruption being rewarded…

Mahatma Gandhi | The state represents violence

“The state represents violence in a concentrated and organized form. The individual has a soul, but as the state is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its very existence.” Mahatma Gandhi “Der Staat repräsentiert Gewalt in einer intensivierten und organisierten Form. Das Individuum hat eine Seele, aber der Staat, der eine Maschine ohne Seele ist, kann von Gewalt nicht befreit werden, da er ihm seine Existenz verdankt.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

John Adams | Fear is the foundation of most governments

“Fear is the foundation of most governments; but it is so sordid and brutal a passion, and renders men in whose breasts it predominates so stupid and miserable, that Americans will not be likely to approve of any political institution which is founded on it.” John Adams “Angst ist die Grundlage der meisten Regierungen; aber sie ist eine so schmutzige und brutale Leidenschaft und macht die Menschen, in deren Brust sie vorherrscht, so dumm und unglücklich, dass die Amerikaner wahrscheinlich keine politische Institution gutheißen werden, die auf ihr beruht.” Nützliche…

Napoleon Bonaparte | There is no more good-natured, but also no more gullible people

“There is no more good-natured, but also no more gullible people than the Germans. No lie can be conceived treacherous enough, the Germans believe it. They follow a slogan which was given to them, to act against their own countrymen, rather than the real enemies of their country.” Napoleon Bonaparte (Zitat wird angezweifelt) “Es gibt kein gutmütigeres, aber auch kein leichtgläubigeres Volk als das deutsche. Zwiespalt brauchte ich unter ihnen nie zu säen. Ich brauchte nur meine Netze auszuspannen, dann liefen sie wie ein scheues Wild hinein. Untereinander haben sie…

Hannah Arendt | The real goal of totalitarian ideology

Michael Jackson | Sadly, sadly, we live in a state of fear

“Sadly, sadly, we live in a state of fear. Everyday we hear of war on the news, on the radio and television and the newspapers, always of war. We hear of nations hurting each other, of neighbours hurting each other, of families hurting each other and the children killing each other. We must learn to live and love each other before its too late. We have to stop! We have to stop the prejudice, we have to stop the hating, we have to stop living in fear of our own…

Daniel Neun | One need only translate the terms “conspiracy theorists” as “heretics”

“One need only translate the terms “conspiracy theorists” as “heretics” to know the tradition in which these terms stand and those who use them. Ultimately, it is about the accusation of apostasy from the ruling faith, which is determined by the ruling authorities and majorities. (Faith in this respect can also be translated as ruling doctrine, ideology, etc.). Thus, contrary to the subjective view of many of its users, the terms are themselves expressions of clerical and authoritarian thought structures based on subjugation as a basic psychological pattern. It is…

MOYO-Film | because it strives to break out of this cognitive cage

“Activating collective consciousness is probably one of the most difficult tasks to attempt because people are largely unaware of the extent to which their thinking is governed by tacit rules and predetermined as given, assumed notions that, because they appear as self-evident truth, render ideology invisible. Truly unrestricted intellectual debate feels threatening because it strives to break out of this cognitive cage. Worse, this cage is so insidious that it influences even those who are already outside the mainstream. People are rarely, if ever, persuaded by argument. Those who adopt…

Just.A.Thought | People are addicted to mass hysteria

“People are addicted to mass hysteria because it’s a way for them to funnel their very real anxieties, fears, sadness and neurotic behaviors into something relatable to other people. It doesn’t feel so lonely if everyone collectively loses their grip on reality together.” Just.A.Thought “Die Menschen sind süchtig nach Massenhysterie, weil sie auf diese Weise ihre sehr realen Ängste, Befürchtungen, Traurigkeit und neurotischen Verhaltensweisen in etwas verwandeln können, das für andere Menschen nachvollziehbar ist. Es fühlt sich nicht so einsam an, wenn alle gemeinsam den Bezug zur Realität verlieren.” Nützliche…

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

“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 | master of the mind

“He who dictates and formulates the words and phrases we use, he who is master of the press and radio, is master of the mind. Repeat mechanically your assumptions and suggestions, diminish the opportunity for communicating dissent and opposition. This is the formula for political conditioning of the masses” Joost A.M. Meerloo “Derjenige, der die Worte und Sätze diktiert und formuliert, die wir verwenden, derjenige, der die Presse und das Radio beherrscht, ist auch der Meister des Geistes.
