Quote by Yuval Noah Harari about truth, power, and societyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Truth was never the highest priority of human society. It was the highest priority of some individuals, but never of society as a whole — because society as a whole does not function on the basis of truth. If you take two of the most powerful institutions of humankind — science and the scientific community, and religion and churches — neither of them has truth as their chief value. For individuals, yes. But as institutions, no. The chief value of science is power. The chief value of religion is order — organization. Religion is all about maintaining order in society, and science is mainly about gaining power." Yuval Noah Harari

"All parties in industrialized countries, whether right or left, will adopt the CO2 global warming theory. This is a unique opportunity to tax the air we breathe. Because they supposedly save the world from a heat death, politicians even receive applause for it. No party will resist this temptation." Nigel Calder
Quote about the fake world and deceptive narratives by Ashley HaysCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"This is going to be an unpopular truth, especially in the extremely delusional and deceived world we now live in. But the reality is this: none of what is going on outside is getting better. Nothing improves. Everything in our world feels fake. Our food is fake. Our news is fake. Our politicians are fake. Our history is fake. Even our financial system feels fake. And the people on our TV screens, on our phone screens — they’re lying to us, because everything is like a scripted movie. If you want to believe the absolute garbage that is being spoon-fed to us, then that is your prerogative. But I would hope that by now — five years into this very odd new world, this strange reality we’re living in — most of us have started to recognize that something deeper is going on. Something more sinister. Something more… spiritual, even, behind the scenes. I’ve reached a point where I literally don’t believe anything I see anymore. Nothing. Because after the last five years — maybe a bit more — it’s become clear to me that narratives are being pushed. Distractions are being manufactured. And in the end… we are watching a movie." ashleyhays2.0
Quote by John Holdren on global population control and planetary regimeCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"A planetary regime might be given the authority to determine the optimal population for the world as a whole and for each region, and to allocate shares to various countries within their regional boundaries. Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the regime would have some power to enforce agreed limits." John Holdren
Quote on ethical risks of propaganda in education by Edward BernaysCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"In the ethical sense, propaganda bears the same relation to education as to business or politics. It may be abused. It may be used to over-advertise an institution and to create in the public mind artificial values. There can be no absolute guarantee against its misuse." Edward Bernays
Quote about the rise of modern fascism by Umberto EcoCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality." Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"We can look anywhere we want, in all Western countries, whether in America or Europe, fascists are gaining more and more power (and the left helps them) and are turning countries into surveillance and police states. Today's fascism outwardly has nothing to do with the past. No uniforms, goose steps, or raised salutes. No, it is modern, cleverly packaged, and sold with PR." Umberto Eco
