Erich Limpach | believing yesterday’s lies as today’s truths

“If people continue to allow themselves to be talked into believing yesterday’s lies as today’s truths, then tomorrow’s whip will make them painfully aware, too late, of the dangers that laziness of thought has in its wake.” Erich Limpach (1899 – 1965), deutscher Dichter, Schriftsteller und Aphoristiker “Wenn die Menschen sich weiterhin die Lügen von gestern als die Wahrheiten von heute aufreden lassen, dann wird die Peitsche von morgen ihnen zu spät schmerzhaft bewußt machen, welche Gefahren die Denkfaulheit im Gefolge hat.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Billy Corgan | the old deal-with-the devil stuff

“The problem is that there’s not enough money in music as a business model. Where in television and vis-a-vis the advertisers and movies, there’s so much money that the controlling forces still circle around the stars in the right way, stars are taken care of better in those industries. In the music industry it’s still very much this exploitative thing, it’s still very much people signing their lives away, the old deal-with-the devil stuff. That is still going on, it’s unbelievable in this day-and-age that this is still going on.”…

Dr. Angela Merkel | all the major decisions did not have a demoscopic majority when they were made

“But that is precisely why I am also deeply convinced that it is right that we have a representative democracy and not a plebiscitary democracy, and that representative democracy gives us the opportunity for certain periods of time to make decisions, then within these periods of time also to campaign for these decisions and thus to change opinions. Looking back at the history of the Federal Republic, we can say that all the major decisions did not have a demoscopic majority when they were made. The introduction of the social…

Jon Rappoport | Socialism is

“Socialism is: The taking of money (taxes) from some people who work for it and giving it to others who don’t work for it. On a grand scale. The vast expansion of freebies doled out by central government. In order to create and sustain dependence. The government protection of favored persons and corporations, permitting them and aiding them to expand their fortunes without limit, regardless of what crimes they commit in the process. (Monsanto would be a fine example.) The squeezing out of those who would compete with the favored…

Albert Jay Nock | The State, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social

“The State, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.” Albert Jay Nock (1870-1945) American libertarian author, editor, educational theorist, Georgist, social critic “Der Staat ist sowohl in seiner…

Aleister Crowley | to delight in dirty and disgusting debauches

Ludwig von Mises | The champions of socialism

“The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in…

Christian Drosten | to isolate viruses in cell cultures. We never succeeded

“We also tried this for a long time, to isolate viruses in cell cultures. We never succeeded. That’s how it is for many labs around the world that have tried. Zhengli Shi is actually the only lab back in Wuhan that managed to do that, to isolate a virus for once.[….] I know Zhengli Shi used the ones in the lab for that as well. Here you have to say, when you do this, practically the first thing that happens with the SARS-2 virus is that this furin site in…

Just.A.Thought | Being a “conspiracy theorist”

“Being a “conspiracy theorist” is spending endless hours for years & years gathering as much information as possible from as many resources as possible and critically thinking about what that information means then having people who do nothing but watch TV tell you you’re crazy.” Just.A.Thought “Ein ‚Verschwörungstheoretiker‘ zu sein bedeutet, jahrelang endlose Stunden damit zu verbringen, so viele Informationen wie möglich aus so vielen Quellen wie möglich zu sammeln und kritisch darüber nachzudenken, was diese Informationen bedeuten, und sich dann von Leuten, die nichts anderes tun als fernzusehen, sagen…

Milan Kundera | The first step in liquidating a people

“The first step in liquidating a people, is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster.” Milan Kundera “Der erste Schritt zur Eliminierung von Menschen, besteht darin, ihr Gedächtnis zu löschen. Zerstören Sie ihre Bücher, ihre Kultur, ihre Geschichte. Dann bitten Sie jemanden, neue Bücher zu schreiben, eine neue Kultur…

C.S. Lewis | I do not like the pretensions of Government

“I do not like the pretensions of Government — the grounds on which it demands my obedience — to be pitched too high. I don’t like the medicine-man’s magical pretensions nor the Bourbon’s Divine Right. This is not solely because I disbelieve in magic and in Bossuet’s Politique. I believe in God, but I detest theocracy. For every Government consists of mere men and is, strictly viewed, a makeshift; if it adds to its commands ‘Thus saith the Lord’, it lies, and lies dangerously. On just the same ground I…

Charles MacKay | simultaneously impressed with one delusion

“We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object, and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first.” Charles MacKay | Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds “Wir sehen, daß ganze Gesellschaften plötzlich ihre Gedanken auf ein einziges Thema fixieren und den Verstand dabei verlieren; daß Millionen von Menschen gleichzeitig von einer einzigen Wahnvorstellung ergriffen werden, bis ihre Aufmerksamkeit von…

ZUBY | One of the biggest problems with college degrees

Russel Brand | the mainstream media is not your friend

They are operating collegiately in unison to create a set of systems that are beneficial to them and disadvantage you.” Russel Brand „the mainstream media is not your friend“ “Ich habe viele Fehler gemacht, ich habe mich oft geirrt, aber langsam glaube ich, dass ich…

Walter Lippmann | a drifting apart of public opinion and published opinion

“…a drifting apart of public opinion and published opinion when the selection rules of the journalists who have been brought into line largely coincide. This creates a consonance of reporting that acts like a confirmation to the audience (everyone says it, so it has to be right) and installs a stereotype-supported pseudo-environment” Walter Lippmann | Public Opinion (1922), dt.: Die öffentliche Meinung) “Das Auseinanderdriften von öffentlicher Meinung und veröffentlichter Meinung entsteht, wenn die Auswahlregeln der gleichgeschalteten Journalisten weitgehend übereinstimmen. Dadurch kommt eine Konsonanz der Berichterstattung zustande, die auf das Publikum…

Prof. Rainer Mausfeld | The leading media as well as the mass media are business models

“The leading media as well as the mass media are business models and serve no more to convey “truth” than the pharmaceutical industry serves to promote public health. Indoctrination is part of the essence of media.” Prof. Rainer Mausfeld | (Interview mit den Nachdenkseiten) “Die Leitmedien ebenso wie die Massenmedien sind Geschäftsmodelle und dienen so wenig der Vermittlung von „Wahrheit“, wie die Pharmaindustrie der Förderung der Volksgesundheit dient. Indoktrination gehört zum Wesenskern von Medien.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…
