“Puzzlement and doubt are, however, already crimes in the totalitarian state. The mind that is open for questions is open for dissent. In the totalitarian regime the doubting, inquisitive, and imaginative mind has to be suppressed. The totalitarian slave is only allowed to memorize, to salivate when the bell rings.”
Joost A.M. Meerloo
“Mental slavery is the worst form of Slavery. It gives you the illusion of freedom, makes you trust, love and defend your oppressor while making an enemy of those who are trying to free you or open your eyes.”
Words Of Wisdom
“I think the day will come when it will be recognized without doubt, not only on one side of the House, but throughout the civilized world, that the strangling of Bolshevism at its birth would have been an untold blessing to the human race.”
Winston Churchill
“I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.”
Josef Stalin
“In life, a decent person has so many ways to get ahead. A bad guy with the same smarts and drive has all those same ways open to them, but also some others that a decent person wouldn’t go down. So, they have more chances to get ahead. As a result of this negative selection of character, the higher social classes become enriched with scoundrels. The better and more influential a social class is, the worse its average ethical level becomes. Only this circumstance can explain why the world has not been a paradise for at least five thousand years. One must know this if one wants to understand world history.”
Hermann Julius Oberth
“We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.”
David Rockefeller
“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.”
Hannah Arendt
“The lie of tyranny is that you will maintain the freedom of life by obeying authority. The choices it offers you are a lifetime of obedience or death. Evil is the master of deceit. The objective of evil is not violence, but obedience. The purpose of violence is to compel obedience. Its design is the destruction of freedom. Whether submitting to authority and obeying, or allowing it to destroy you physically, you will have lost your freedom. The only way to maintain freedom is to fight tyranny at all times and at all costs.”
Jeremy Locke
“We should never forget that the constitution wasn’t written to restrain citizens’ behavior. It was written to restrain the government’s behavior.”
Rand Paul
“Planners claim that their plans are scientific and that, among decent people with good intentions, there can be no disagreements about them. Yet there is no such thing as a “scientific ought.” Science serves to determine what is. It can never prescribe what ought to be or what goals people should pursue. It is a fact that people disagree in their value judgments. It is outrageous to arrogate to oneself the right to override others’ plans and force them to submit to the planner’s design.”
Ludwig von Mises
