Philip K. Dick | The basic tool for the manipulation of reality
"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them."
Philip K. Dick

M.A.Verick | The most dangerous Weapons of Mass Destruction are the Mass Media
"The most dangerous Weapons of Mass Destruction are the Mass Media. For they destroy the people's spirit, creativity and courage, replacing them by fear, mistrust, guilt and self-doubt."

Karl Kraus | loathing journalism and the intellectual corruption
"I have spent many years loathing journalism and the intellectual corruption that emanates from it with all the strength of my soul."
Karl Kraus
Marcus Aurelius | The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority
"The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."
Marcus Aurelius
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 a thousand media clips."
Dr. Tim O’Shea
Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann | a manufactured reality constructed by the media
"What you find in people's minds today is often not reality at all, but a manufactured reality constructed by the media"

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
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 and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice – you may know that your society is doomed."
Ayn Rand
Sergei Petrowitsch Kapiza | state of deep hypnosis
“Society sees nothing because it is kept in a state of deep hypnosis. People have never been so manipulated as they are now. A human being is not given a chance to stop and understand what is happening. Endless series, one more stupid than the other, vulgar pop music, lustful or aggressive films that gently affect the subconscious, cultivate a spirit of selfishness and violence. A normal person quickly becomes an unprincipled animal that leads an absolutely meaningless life.”
Sergei Petrowitsch Kapiza
Nina Proll Quote: Warning Against Societal Discrimination of Healthy People!
"Dass gesunde Menschen, die noch dazu bereit wären, dies zu ‚beweisen‘, künftig vom gesellschaftlichen Leben ausgeschlossen werden sollen, entbehrt nicht nur jeder medizinischen, sondern auch rechtlichen Grundlage. Das ist Diskriminierung auf höchstem Niveau. Wenn wir das akzeptieren, werden wir uns tatsächlich noch wundern, was alles möglich ist!"
