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

in ,

“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…

Milan Kundera | The first step in liquidating a people

in

“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

in

“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…

Richard N. Gardner | The New World Order will be created

in

“The New World Order will be created and ultimately put an end to all national sovereignty. But an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault.” Richard N. Gardner, im CFR-Magazin Foreign Affairs (April 1974) p.558 “Die Neue Weltordnung wird geschaffen werden und letztendlich aller nationalen Souveränität ein Ende bereiten. Das Untergraben der nationalen Souveränität, Stück für Stück, wird erfolgreicher sein, als ein altmodischer Frontalangriff.” Zitat Nützliche und hilfreiche Links “If instant world government, Charter review, and a greatly…

Joost A.M. Meerloo | Ready made opinions

in

“Ready made opinions can be distributed day by day through the press, radio, and so on, again and again, till they reach the nerve cell and implant a fixed pattern in the brain. Consequently, guided public opinion is the result, according to Pavlovian theoreticians, of good propaganda technique, and the polls [are] a verification of the temporary successful action of the Pavlovian machinations on the mind.” Joost A.M.

Joost A.M. Meerloo | hammering noises of arguments and propaganda

in

“The continual intrusion into our minds of the hammering noises of arguments and propaganda can lead to two kinds of reactions.

Meerloo “Das ständige Eindringen des hämmernden Lärms von Argumenten und Propaganda in unsere Köpfe kann zu zwei Arten von Reaktionen führen. Sie kann zu Apathie und Gleichgültigkeit führen, zu einer Reaktion des “Ich kümmere mich nicht darum”,…

Manly P. Hall | when the state governs, he is ruled by fear.

“When the mob governs, man is ruled by ignorance; when the church governs, he is ruled by superstition; and when the state governs, he is ruled by fear. Before men can live together in harmony and understanding, ignorance must be transmuted into wisdom, superstition into an illuminated faith, and fear into love.” Manly P. Hall “Wenn der Pöbel regiert, wird der Mensch von Unwissenheit beherrscht; wenn die Kirche regiert, wird er vom Aberglauben beherrscht; und wenn der Staat regiert, wird er von Angst beherrscht.

Joost A.M. Meerloo | master of the mind

in

“He who dictates and formulates the words and phrases we use, he who is master of the press and radio, is master of the mind.

Meerloo “Derjenige, der die Worte und Sätze diktiert und formuliert, die wir verwenden, derjenige, der die Presse und das Radio beherrscht, ist auch der Meister des Geistes.

Marshall McLuhan | All media work us over completely

in

“[…] All media work us over completely. They are so pervasive in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological, moral, ethical, and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, unaltered. The medium is the message. Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments.[…] All media are extensions of some human faculty — psychic or physical. […] Media, by altering the environment, evoke in us unique ratios of sense perceptions. The extension of any one sense alters…

Fjodor Dostojewski | A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies

in

“A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying — to others and to yourself.” Fjodor Dostojewski “Ein Mensch, der…

“The blues are easy to play but not to feel. The background to our music is a spiritual-blues thing. Blues is a part of America. We’re making our music into electric church music—a new kind of Bible, not like in a hotel, but a Bible you carry in your hearts, one that will give you a physical feeling. We try to make our music so loose and hard-hitting so that it hits your soul hard enough to make it open. It’s like shock therapy or a can opener. Rock is…

Dr. Tim O’Shea | The shackles of mental control

in

“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…
