Benjamin Disraeli | secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents

in

“The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans.” Benjamin Disraeli “Die Regierungen von heute haben es nicht nur mit anderen Regierungen, mit Kaisern, Königen und Ministern zu tun, sondern auch mit den Geheimgesellschaften, die überall ihre skrupellosen Agenten haben und im letzten Moment alle Pläne der Regierungen durchkreuzen können.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

W.L. Mackenzie King | Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nations laws.

in

“Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nations laws. Usury, once in control, will wreck any nation. Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most sacred responsibility, all talk of the sovereignty of parliament and of democracy is idle and futile.” William Lyon Mackenzie King (1874-1950 | Premierminister von Kanada) “Sobald sich eine Nation von der Kontrolle über ihre Währung und ihren Kredit trennt, spielt es keine Rolle…

Arnold Gehlen | devilish is he who erects the kingdom of lies

in

“And last: devilish is he who erects the kingdom of lies and forces other people to live in it. This still goes beyond the humiliation of spiritual separation, then the kingdom of the perverse world is erected, and the Antichrist wears the mask of the Savior (…). The devil is not the slayer, he is Diabolos, the slanderer, is the ‘God’ in whom the lie is not cowardice, as in man, but domination. He spills the last resort of despair, the knowledge, he instigates the realm of madness, because it…

Gore Vidal | The modern dictatorship doesn’t come with brown or black uniforms

in

“What is a president, then? He is the mouthpiece of the corporations – and nothing else. [….] We are no longer a democracy. We gave up our constitution long ago. [….] The modern dictatorship doesn’t come with brown or black uniforms. We do it with entertainment, with television, with fun, fun. And an education that dumbs down.” Gore Vidal, US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller und Politiker, „Stern“ Nr. 36/2000 “Was ist denn ein Präsident? Er ist das Sprachrohr der Konzerne – und sonst gar nichts. [….] Wir sind keine Demokratie mehr. Wir haben…

Salvador Dalí | One day it will have to be officially admitted

in

“One day it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams.” Salvador Dalí „Eines Tages wird man offiziell zugeben müssen, dass das, was wir Wirklichkeit getauft haben, eine noch größere Illusion ist als die Welt des Traumes.“ Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Albert Schweitzer | I am a free man

in

“Under no circumstances do I want to be merely a ′common′ man. I have the right to be exceptional – if I can. I want opportunities, not security. I do not want to be a citizen who is humiliated and dulled by government support. I want to encounter risk, have desires and fulfill them, suffer disaster and enjoy success. I refuse to sell my own determination for a pittance. I would prefer to face life’s difficulties rather than lead a secure existence. I prefer the exciting tension of my own…

H. P. Lovecraft | It is not a true civilization

in

“It is not a true civilization, and has nothing in it to satisfy a mature and fully developed human mind. It is attuned to the mentality of the galley-slave and the moron, and crushes relentlessly with disapproval, ridicule, and economic annihilation any sign of actually independent thought and civilised feeling whith chances to rise above its sodden level. It is a treadmill, squirrel-trap culture – drugged and frenzied with the hashish of industrial servitude and material luxury. It is wholly a material body-culture, and its symbol is the tiled bathroom…

General Aladeen | Why are you guys so anti-dictators?

in , ,

“Why are you guys so anti-dictators? Imagine if America was a dictatorship. You could let 1% of the people have all the nation’s wealth. You could help your rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes. And bailing them out when they gamble and lose. You could ignore the needs of the poor for health care and education. Your media would appear free, but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family. You could wiretap phones. You could torture foreign prisoners. You could have rigged elections. You could…

Barry Jünemann | Faith is the graveyard of many truths

in

“And still, no one knows! And the truth remains hidden. Faith is the graveyard of many truths. And the mortician is the system of the self-appointed rulers of this earth. However, people often decorate it with the flowers of ignorance! Faith is the most dangerous instrument of the system since ancient Babylon…. and nobody notices it!” Barry Jünemann (deutscher Schriftsteller und Autor.) „Und nach wie vor, keiner weiß es! Und die Wahrheit bleibt im Verborgenen. Der Glaube ist der Friedhof vieler Wahrheiten. Und das Bestattungsunternehmen ist das System der selbsternannten…

Mahatma Gandhi | the truth is still the truth

“Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.” Mahatma Gandhi “Viele Menschen, besonders die ignoranten Menschen, möchten Dich dafür bestrafen, dass Du die Wahrheit sprichst, dafür, dass Du das Richtige tust, dass Du Du bist.

Leo Tolstoy | The Anarchists are right in everything

in ,

“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution. But it will be instituted only by there being more and more people who do not require the protection of governmental power and by there being more and more people who will be ashamed of applying this power.” Lew Nikolajewitsch Graf Tolstoi…

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 (Zitat ist möglicherweise falsch zugeordnet!) „Das Ziel im Leben ist nicht auf der Seite der Mehrheit zu sein, sondern darin, sich selbst nicht in den Rängen der Wahnsinnigen wiederzufinden.“ Misattributed Quelle: The first citation appears in a translation of Leo Tolstoy’s Bethink Yourselves! The claim made that it is from Marcus Aurelius. Nothing closely resembling it appears in Meditations, nor does it appear…

Bärbel Bohley | the thorough research into the Stasi structures

in

“All these investigations, the thorough research into the Stasi structures, the methods with which they worked and still work, all this will fall into the wrong hands. One will examine these structures in detail – in order to then take them over. They will be adapted a little to fit a free Western society. They won’t necessarily arrest the troublemakers either. There are more subtle ways to disarm someone. But the secret bans, the watching, the suspicion, the fear, the isolation and exclusion, the branding and muzzling of those who…

Alice Bailey | The Masonic Movement

in

“The Masonic Movement when it can be divorced from politics and social ends and from its present paralyzing condition of inertia, will meet the need of those who can, and should, wield power. It is the custodian of the law; it is the home of the Mysteries and the seat of initiation. It holds in its symbolism the ritual of Deity, and the way of salvation is pictorially preserved in its work. The methods of Deity are demonstrated in its Temples, and under the All-seeing Eye the work can go…

John Kozy | As such, they exist merely to sell snake oil

in

“America’s journalists are not ‘newshounds’. They are nothing more than salesclerks, hocking the products their employers want to sell. The pretty faces that now function as most television news anchors are no different than the pretty models used to sell other products. The American “free” press is comprised of nothing more than a number of retail outlets which sell stories slanted to please their target audiences. As such, they exist merely to sell snake oil.” John Kozy “Amerikas Journalisten sind keine ‘Nachrichtenjäger’. Sie sind nichts anderes als Verkäufer, die die…
