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

in

„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…

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

in ,

“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…

Howard Beale | Listen to me! Television is not the truth

“Edward George Ruddy died today! Edward George Ruddy was the Chairman of the Board of the Union Broadcasting Systems and he died at eleven o’clock this morning of a heart condition! And woe is us! We’re in a lot of trouble!! So, a rich little man with white hair died. What does that got to do with the price of rice, right? And why is that woe to us? Because you people and 62 million other Americans are listening to me right now. Because less than 3 percent of you…

Jon Rappoport | Socialism is

in

“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

in

“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…

Ludwig von Mises | The champions of socialism

in

“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

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…

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

in

“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

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…

ZUBY | One of the biggest problems with college degrees

in

“One of the biggest problems with college degrees is they’ve made a lot of people think they are much smarter than they truly are. This arrogance and smugness makes them dumber because they think they’re too smart to receive new information from anybody with fewer ‘credentials’.” ZUBY | Rapper. Author. Podcaster. Speaker. Coach. “One of the biggest problems with college degrees is they’ve made a lot of people think they are much smarter than they truly are. “Eines der größten Probleme mit Hochschulabschlüssen ist, dass sie viele Menschen dazu gebracht…

Russel Brand | the mainstream media is not your friend

in

“I’ve made a lot of mistakes, I’ve been wrong many times but I’m beginning to think I’m right about this: the mainstream media is not your friend, the culture is not your friend, the government is not your friend, big business 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

in

“…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…

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

in

“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…

Michael Meyen | because it couldn’t learn that anywhere

in

“The first bachelor generation is just climbing the university chairs. People who are perfectly trained in their craft, who have internalized the hegemonic ideology, and who are good advertising media for a system that needs academic confirmation in order to be able to continue to say ‘democracy’. This generation already determines what ‘good science’ is. It fills journals, conference programs, and so eventually textbooks, lectures, and seminars – with topics, perspectives, and terms it has taken from the political agenda and the tenders linked to it, and which it doesn’t…

Prof. Dr. Michael Meyen | mainstream media are not a mirror of reality

in

“The very first thing we have to understand is that the mainstream media are not a mirror of reality. Not even a distorted mirror of reality, but provide us with a reality that is constructed according to its very own points of view. Which is made to influence us in a certain way.” Prof. Dr. Michael Meyen „Wir müssen als aller erstes verstehen, dass die Leitmedien kein Spiegel der Wirklichkeit sind. Nicht mal ein verzerrter Spiegel der Wirklichkeit, sondern uns eine Realität liefern, die nach ganz eigenen Gesichtspunkten konstruiert wird….

Dave Smith | basic human liberties

in

“If you believe that the most basic human liberties ought to be contingent on taking a product from a giant pharmaceutical company then you are not liberal or left wing. You’re not a conservative or patriotic. There is only one word to describe you and that is Fascist.” Dave Smith “Wenn Sie glauben, dass die grundlegendsten menschlichen Freiheiten von der Einnahme eines Produkts eines riesigen Pharmakonzerns abhängig gemacht werden sollten, dann sind Sie nicht liberal oder links. Sie sind weder konservativ noch patriotisch. Es gibt nur ein Wort, um Sie…
