Quote by Dr Rudolph Virchow about germs seeking diseased tissue, not causing itCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"If I could live my life over again, I would devote it to proving that germs seek their natural habitat-diseased tissue-rather than being the cause of dead tissue. In other words, mosquitoes seek the stagnant water, but do not cause the pool to become stagnant." Dr. Rudolph Virchow

Quote by Isaac Newton on the absurdity of action at a distance through a vacuumCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

""[…]that one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum, without the mediation of anything else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one to another, is to me so great an absurdity that I believe no man who has in philosophical matters a competent faculty of thinking can ever fall into it."" Isaac Newton

Moon Landing is the adult version of Santa Claus quote by David McGowanCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"[The Moon Landing] is essentially the adult version of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. What primarily motivates them is fear. But it is not the lie itself that scares people; it is what that lie says about the world around us and how it really functions. For if NASA was able to pull off such an outrageous hoax before the entire world, and then keep that lie in place for four decades, what does that say about the control of the information we receive? What does that say about the media, and the scientific community, and the educational community, and all the other institutions we depend on to tell us the truth? What does that say about the very nature of the world we live in?" David McGowan

"Global warming is part of a natural cycle and there’s nothing we can actually do to stop these cycles. The world is now facing spending a vast amount of money in tax to try to solve a problem that doesn’t actually exist." David James Bellamy

Quote by Graham Hancock about society living in amnesia and unconsciousnessCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"I believe we are a species with amnesia, I think we have forgotten our roots and our origins. I think we are quite lost in many ways. And we live in a society that invests huge amounts of money and vast quantities of energy in ensuring that we all stay lost. A society that invests in creating unconsciousness, which invests in keeping people asleep so that we are just passive consumers or products and not really asking any of the questions." Graham Hancock

A thoughtful quote on scientific knowledge by Karl Jaspers highlighting the importance of knowing one's limits and self-criticismCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"To be scientific, that is to know what one knows and what one does not know; unscientific is dogmatic knowledge. To be scientific is to know with reasons; to accept ready-made opinions is unscientific. Scientific is the knowledge with the consciousness of the respectively determined limits of the knowledge; unscientific is all total knowledge, as if one knew in the whole. Scientific is boundless criticism and self-criticism, the advancing questioning; unscientific is the concern that doubt could paralyze. Scientific is the methodical course, which step by step on the ground of experience penetrates to the decision; unscientific is the play of multiple opinions and possibilities and the murmuring." Karl Jaspers

Quote by Stefan Oelrich about mRNA vaccines as an example of cell and gene therapy and their impact during the pandemicCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"The mRNA vaccines are an example of cell and gene therapy. If we had conducted a public survey two years ago and asked who would be willing to undergo gene or cell therapy and have it injected into their body, 95 percent of people would probably have refused. This pandemic has opened many people's eyes to innovations in a way that was not possible before." Stefan Oelrich

"However, the coronavirus seems to have provided the perfect whip to turn responsible citizens into fearful people who allow themselves to be beaten into a climate-friendly future as ‘human material’, as the communists and National Socialists called it." Vera Lengsfeld

Quote by Harald Welzer about how social exclusion leads to genocidal processesCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"[...] As a result, these normative changes mean that a group of members of society is gradually excluded from the ‘universe of general obligation’, which continues to apply to the others, those belonging to the majority society, but now becomes exclusive. As I said, this process is the central prerequisite for the emergence of genocidal processes. For exclusion proceeds from the definition that the group to be excluded, and that means each of its members, is a threat to the well-being and ultimately to the existence of the majority society—which then logically sees its salvation in rendering this group, perceived as threatening, harmless and, in the final analysis, destroying it. That is why all known processes of extermination are preceded by a definition of the threatening group, and this definition is followed by an accelerating social, psychological, material, and legal declassification, which increasingly transforms the initially only claimed otherness of the excluded group into a reality shaped and felt by contemporaries.

Quote by Mario Monti about information control and communication during a pandemicCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"In times of war, there is a level of information control in reporting that is abhorrent in the case of traditional wars. In the case of a pandemic, however, one must take less democratic measures from one moment to the next [...] Over the past two years, with the outbreak of the pandemic, we have seen that the way our world is organized is outdated. Two aspects are affected by this: communication and global governance. In terms of communication, we immediately used the term “war” because it is a war, but we have not implemented a communication policy in any country that is appropriate for a war [...] I believe that in this pandemic, or at least in future global health disasters, we need to find a system that preserves freedom of expression but reconciles it with information rationed from above." Mario Monti

"Das ist schrecklich in Österreich. Das ist ein europäisches Problem. Wie sie sich mit Orbans Verrücktheiten rund um die Menschenrechte befasst haben. Wo sind diese Brüsseler Bürokraten jetzt? Den Menschen verbieten auf die Straße zu gehen, das ist Faschismus" Zoran Milanovic

"It was curious how that beetle-like type proliferated in the Ministries: little dumpy men, growing stout very early in life, with short legs, swift scuttling movements, and fat inscrutable faces with very small eyes." George Orwell

Quote by Stanley Milgram on the power of authority and obedienceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"With numbing regularity good people were seen to knuckle under the demands of authority and perform actions that were callous and severe. Men who are in everyday life responsible and decent were seduced by the trappings of authority, by the control of their perceptions, and by the uncritical acceptance of the experimenter’s definition of the situation, into performing harsh acts. A substantial proportion of people do what they are told to do, irrespective of the content of the act and without limitations of conscience, so long as they perceive that the command comes from a legitimate authority." Stanley Milgram

Quotation by William E. Borah on the importance of a free press and liberty of speech in democracyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"Without an unfettered press, without liberty of speech, all of the outward forms and structures of free institutions are a sham, a pretense — the sheerest mockery. If the press is not free; if speech is not independent and untrammeled; if the mind is shackled or made impotent through fear, it makes no difference under what form of government you live, you are a subject and not a citizen" William E. Borah
