Julian Assange | when asked “Who do you think is the number-one enemy?”

„Our number-one enemy is ignorance. And I believe that is the number-one enemy of everyone. It’s not understanding what is actually going on in the world. It’s only once you start to understand that you can make effective decisions and effective plans. Now the question is: who is promoting this ignorance? […] It is bad media. It really is my opinion that the media in general are so bad we have to question whether the world wouldn’t be better off without them all together. They’re so distortive to how the…

Rose Wilder Lane | No state, no government exists

“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….

Arthur Schopenhauer | What the herd hates most

“What the herd hates most is the one who thinks differently; it is not so much the opinion itself, but the audacity of wanting to think for themselves, something that they do not know how to do.” Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 – 1860), deutscher Philosoph “Was die Herde am meisten hasst, ist derjenige, der anders denkt; es ist nicht so sehr die Meinung selbst, sondern die Kühnheit, selbst denken zu wollen.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Was zählt, ist, dass wir einander nicht verraten.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Lemmy Kilmister | They feed you the stuff every day on TV

„They feed you the stuff every day on TV and you think it’s all different, don’t you? All the time, right? And it’s always the same. Jesus i can’t go on anywhere you know“ Lemmy Kilmister (Ian Fraser Kilmister | Gründer der Rockband Motörhead sowie deren Sänger und Bassist.) „Sie füttern dich jeden Tag mit diesem Zeugs im Fernsehen und du denkst, es ist alles anders, nicht wahr?

Friedrich Nietzsche | the advent of nihilism

“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….

Frank Zappa | Schools train people to be ignorant

“Schools train people to be ignorant, with style. They give you the equipment that you need to be a functional ignoramus. American schools* do not equip you to deal with things like logic; they don’t give you the criteria by which to judge between good and bad in any medium or format; and they prepare you to be a usable victim for military-industrial complex that needs manpower. As long as you’re just smart enough to do a job and just dumb enough to swallow what they feed you, you’re gonna…

Adyashanti | Enlightenment is a destructive process

“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…

Vince Ebert | Political correctness

“Political correctness has now reached a level in our society that I see as highly questionable. It starts with the deletion of more and more postings in the social media. Postings, mind you, with content that is clearly not punishable or otherwise legally actionable. The mere fact that a certain group might feel offended by a text is enough. More and more companies and corporations are joining this unfortunate trend and issuing internal memos about required language rules or how to deal with certain topics, the disregard of which can…

Gilbert Keith Chesterton | You cannot love a thing without wanting to fight for it

“You cannot love a thing without wanting to fight for it. You cannot fight without something to fight for. To love a thing without wishing to fight for it is not love at all; it is lust. It may be an airy, philosophical, and disinterested lust; it may be, so to speak, a virgin lust; but it is lust, because it is wholly self-indulgent and invites no attack. On the other hand, fighting for a thing without loving it is not even fighting; it can only be called a kind…

Noam Chomsky | Therefore it’s important to distract them

“The bewildered herd is a problem. We’ve got to prevent their roar and trampling. We’ve got to distract them. They should be watching the Superbowl or sitcoms or violent movies. Every once in a while you call on them to chant meaningless slogans like “Support our troops.” You’ve got to keep them pretty scared, because unless they’re properly scared and frightened of all kinds of devils that are going to destroy them from outside or inside or somewhere, they may start to think, which is very dangerous, because they’re not…

Noam Chomsky | why the propaganda system works

“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…

Georges Bernanos | violence in the service of the totalitarian state

“It is not the use of violence that seems to me condemnable, but its mysticism, the religion of violence in the service of the totalitarian state, in the service of the dictatorship of the general welfare, considered not as a means but as an end.” Georges Bernanos (Schriftsteller, wird als “französischer Dostojewski” bezeichnet, “Monsieur Ouine”, “Les Grands Cimetières sous la Lune”, “Nouvelle Histoire de Mouchette” | Frankreich, 1888 – 1948). “Nicht der Gebrauch der Gewalt erscheint mir verdammenswert, sondern ihre Mystik, die Religion der Gewalt im Dienste des totalitären Staates,…

George Orwell | horrible features of war

“One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.” George Orwell | Homage to Catalonia, 1938 “Eines der schrecklichsten Merkmale des Krieges ist, dass die gesamte Kriegspropaganda, all das Geschrei, die Lügen und der Hass, ausnahmslos von Leuten kommt, die nicht kämpfen.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Hunter S. Thompson | Die Presse ist eine Bande von grausamen Schwuchteln

“The press is a gang of cruel faggots. Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuckoffs and misfits—a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo-cage.” Hunter S. Thompson | Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas “Die Presse ist eine Bande von grausamen Schwuchteln. Journalismus ist weder ein Beruf noch ein Gewerbe….

Yuval Noah Harari | to gain control over the world

“I mean science, as an institution, is interested in gaining the power — to gain control over the world — to be able to gain control over diseases, over the human body, over the environment, over rivers and animals and forests. You have to submit a grant to somebody to fund, it all comes down to money, in many cases. It’s also an institution- If you’re a freelance scientist, you just explore the truth. Okay. But in an institution, a university, you need money to finance so you submit a…

Gore Vidal | As societies grow decadent

“As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.” Gore Vidal, Imperiales Amerika, 2004 “Wenn Gesellschaften dekadent werden, wird auch die Sprache dekadent. Worte werden benutzt, um Taten zu verschleiern, nicht um sie zu erhellen: Man befreit eine Stadt, indem man sie zerstört. Worte werden benutzt, um zu verwirren, damit die Menschen bei Wahlen feierlich gegen ihre…
