George Washington | a frightful despotism

“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns…

Friedrich August von Hayek | voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant

“Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one’s government is not necessarily to secure freedom.” Friedrich August von Hayek “Vielleicht hat die Tatsache, dass wir erlebt haben, wie sich Millionen von Menschen durch Wahlen in die völlige Abhängigkeit von einem Tyrannen begeben haben, unserer Generation klargemacht, dass die Wahl der eigenen Regierung nicht unbedingt die Freiheit sichert.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Edward L. Bernays | Mindless Conformity

“Universal literacy was supposed to educate the common man to control his environment. Once he could read and write he would have a mind fit to rule. So ran the democratic doctrine. But instead of a mind, universal literacy has given him rubber stamps, rubber stamps inked with advertising slogans, with editorials, with published scientific data, with the trivialities of the tabloids and the platitudes of history, but quite innocent of original thought. Each man’s rubber stamps are the duplicates of millions of others, so that when those millions are…

G. Edward Griffin | They’ve been programmed

“They’ve been programmed and I’m sad because I know that it’s hard for people like that to take an interest – serious interest in world affairs – taken serious interest in what their elected officials are doing and they’re not going to be really inclined to study and or discover the deception that’s being used against them and so I’m sad because I I see all of that in the flash in my mind as being an indication of how easy it is for the masses to be manipulated” G….

The combination of the silence of the masses and the sometimes overwhelming volume

“The combination of the silence of the masses and the sometimes overwhelming volume of this greatest global crime of all time in my mind is, in its relentless daily presence, the most eerie and surreal feeling I have ever experienced.” Unknown “Diese Kombination aus der Stille der Masse und der teilweise extremen Lautstärke dieses größten globalen Verbrechens aller Zeiten in meinem Kopf ist das, von seiner täglich vorhandenen Dauerhaftigkeit her, unheimlichste und surrealste Gefühl, das ich je erfahren habe.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

George Bernard Shaw | Every faltering regime

“Every faltering regime has tried to bind its subjects by war as a last resort.” George Bernard Shaw (Allegedly) “Jedes schwankende Regime hat bisher versucht, als letzten Ausweg seine Untertanen durch einen Krieg an sich zu fesseln.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Bernard Edouard Harcourt | The eternal recurrence of new forms of unbearable servitude

“The eternal recurrence of new forms of unbearable servitude, and with them, new forms of resistance, demonstrates that human history is not a progressive march toward absolute knowledge, the demise of the state, or the end of history, but rather a constant struggle for our own subjugation, a battle that must be fought anew to establish our subjectivity, ourselves as subjects. Once we grasp the recurring nature of this struggle, only then will we recognize the task that confronts us today and in the future: to resist the ever-pressing forms…

Yuri Bezmenov | Warning against subversion and intellectual slavery

“Most of the American politicians, media, and educational systems think that they are living during peacetime. False. The United States is in a state of war, undeclared war. It is a total war against the basic value principles and foundation of American society. The ultimate aim of the Marxist ideology was to deconstruct American values, destabilize their economy and provoke crises in order to Sovietize the free world. The highest art of warfare is not to fight at all, but to subvert anything of value in the country of your…

Montagu Norman | Capital must protect itself in every possible way

“Capital must protect itself in every possible way, both by combination and legislation. Debts must be collected, mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through the process of law, the common people lose their homes, they will become more docile and more easily governed through the strong arm of government applied by a central power of wealth under leading financiers. These truths are well known among our principal men who are now engaged in forming an imperialism to govern the world. By dividing the voter through the political party system,…

Woodrow Wilson | Some of the biggest men…are afraid of something

“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. They know that America is not a place of which it can be said, as it…

MOYO-Film | because it strives to break out of this cognitive cage

“Activating collective consciousness is probably one of the most difficult tasks to attempt because people are largely unaware of the extent to which their thinking is governed by tacit rules and predetermined as given, assumed notions that, because they appear as self-evident truth, render ideology invisible. Truly unrestricted intellectual debate feels threatening because it strives to break out of this cognitive cage. Worse, this cage is so insidious that it influences even those who are already outside the mainstream. People are rarely, if ever, persuaded by argument. Those who adopt…

Ayn Rand | Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue

“Do you wish to know whether that day is coming? Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion—when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing—when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors—when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect…

Edward Abbey | If you refuse to pay unjust taxes

“If you refuse to pay unjust taxes, your property will be confiscated. If you attempt to defend your property, you will be arrested. If you resist arrest, you will be clubbed. If you defend yourself against clubbing, you will be shot dead. These procedures are known as the Rule of Law.” Edward Abbey “Wenn Sie sich weigern, ungerechte Steuern zu zahlen, wird Ihr Eigentum beschlagnahmt. Wenn Sie versuchen, Ihr Eigentum zu verteidigen, werden Sie verhaftet. Wenn Sie sich der Verhaftung widersetzen, werden Sie verprügelt. Wenn Sie sich gegen die Schläge…

Philip K. Dick | The basic tool for the manipulation of reality

“The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.” Philip K. Dick “Das grundlegende Werkzeug für die Manipulation der Realität ist die Manipulation von Worten. Wenn du die Bedeutung von Wörtern kontrollieren kannst, dann kannst du auch die Leute kontrollieren, die sie benutzen müssen.” This statement by Philip K. Dick succinctly summarizes how language and reality are closely intertwined. Words carry meanings far beyond their mere definition; they are…

Kai Möller | Die Ausgrenzung der Ungeimpften muss enden

“And a free state absolutely respects physical integrity to the extent that medical treatments may not take place against the will of the person concerned. A state that sets out to control the bodies and minds of its citizens is excessive and acts in a totalitarian manner.” Kai Möller (Rechtsprofessor) Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Ronald Reagan | As government expands, liberty contracts

“When you’ve got to the point when you can celebrate the anniversaries of your 39th birthday you can sit back sometimes, review your life, and see it flowing before you. For me there was a fork in the river, and it was right in the middle of my life. I never meant to go into politics. It wasn’t my intention when I was young. But I was raised to believe you had to pay your way for the blessings bestowed on you. I was happy with my career in the…

George Orwell | The really frightening thing about totalitarianism

“The really frightening thing about totalitarianism is not that it commits ‘atrocities’ but that it attacks the concept of objective truth; it claims to control the past as well as the future.” George Orwell | This quote comes from his column “As I Please” in the Tribune newspaper on February 4, 1944, in which Orwell often wrote about political and social issues. It illustrates his criticism of totalitarian regimes and their manipulation of history and reality to gain control over people’s perceptions. “Das wirklich Beängstigende am Totalitarismus ist nicht, dass…

George Orwell | A people that elect corrupt politicians

“A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims… but accomplices…” George Orwell (Attributed) “Ein Volk, das korrupte Politiker, Betrüger, Diebe und Verräter wählt, ist nicht Opfer, sondern Komplize…” George Orwell (* 25. Juni 1903 in Motihari, Bihar, Britisch-Indien als Eric Arthur Blair; † 21. Januar 1950 in London) war ein englischer Schriftsteller, Essayist und Journalist.

Yuri Bezmenow | the tragedy of the situation of demoralization

“Exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union, and show him a concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When the military boot crushes his balls, then he will understand, but not before that. That…
