Christian Olearius: The Bitter Truth About Our Chancellor
“We have a chancellor who is a liar.”

Harald Lesch Quote: Fascinating Insight on the Boundary Between Science and Theology!
“It seems as though the natural sciences will never be able to lift the veil on the mystery of creation. For the scientist who has lived by faith in reason, the story ends like a bad dream: he has climbed the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak—and as he pulls himself over the final rocky ledge, he is greeted by a group of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”

GEO Magazine 2011: The Fascinating Irony of Modern Paleoanthropology
“Modern paleoanthropology is a field of research not without irony: it lacks the very objects of study. … It is as if one were trying to write the history of Central Europe on the basis of nothing more than half a Roman coin, the handkerchief of a maid from the Wilhelmine era, and parts of a microphone […] And so the question of humankind’s origins still remains one of the great, unresolved mysteries of the natural sciences.”

Malcolm Muggeridge on Evolution: The Surprising Take on a Controversial Theory!
“I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially to the extent to which it has been applied, will be one of the greatest jokes in the history books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious a hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity it has.”
Malcolm Muggeridge
Oscar Wilde Quote: Why Most People Are Merely Imitators – Revealed!
“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”
Oscar Wilde
Harold D. Lasswell Quote: Why Propaganda Is Cheaper and More Powerful Than Violence
“As proposals for action along new lines arise to compete for the moral and physical support of masses, propaganda attains eminence as the one means of mass mobilization which is cheaper than violence, bribery or other possible control techniques.”
Harold D. Lasswell
David Hume Quotes on Power, Society, and Human Nature – Profound Insights!
“Nothing appears more surprizing to those, who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few; and the implicit submission, with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers.”
David Hume
Prof. Rainer Mausfeld Reveals: Invisible Power Structures Threaten Our Democracy!
“The power structures that have emerged are not democratically legitimized, and they can no longer be voted out of office through any electoral process. The most important power structures in our society are no longer accessible to the voter at all… and one does not want the ordinary citizen to even know that they exist. They are meant to remain invisible within the framework of public debate.”
Prof. Rainer Mausfeld
Prof. Dr. Hans Herbert von Arnim on the Hidden Truth of Our Democracy – Shocking Revelations!
“The fundamental problem with our democracy is that it is not one. The people—the nominal ruler and sovereign—have, in reality, nothing to say. … Behind the democratic façade, a system has been installed in which completely different rules apply than those of the Basic Law. The system is undemocratic and corrupt; it abuses power and unscrupulously deceives citizens. … Every German is free to obey laws to which he has never consented; he may admire the majesty of the Basic Law, whose validity he has never legitimized; he is free to pay homage to politicians whom no citizen has ever elected, and to provide for them lavishly—with his tax money, about the use of which he has never been consulted. Overall, the state and politics are in a condition of which only professional optimists or hypocrites can claim it has arisen from the will of the citizens.”
Prof. Dr. Hans Herbert von Arnim
