Bärbel Bohley Quotes: The Shocking Warning About Stasi Tactics Today!

„All these investigations, the thorough research into the Stasi structures, the methods with which they worked and still work, all this will fall into the wrong hands. One will examine these structures in detail - in order to then take them over. They will be adapted a little to fit a free Western society. They won't necessarily arrest the troublemakers either. There are more subtle ways to disarm someone. But the secret bans, the watching, the suspicion, the fear, the isolation and exclusion, the branding and muzzling of those who don't conform - that will come back, believe me. Institutions will be created that will work much more effectively, much more finely than the Stasi. The constant lying will also come back, the disinformation, the fog in which everything loses its contour.“

"“To suppress a rebellion, it is not necessary to act violently. Methods like Hitler's are outdated. It suffices to create such a strong collective conditioning that the very thought of rebellion no longer arises in people's minds. The ideal would be to shape people from birth and restrict their innate biological abilities. Afterwards, one would continue with conditioning and strictly reduce education to the acquisition of professional skills. An uneducated person has a limited horizon, and the more their thinking is confined to mediocre aspirations, the less capable they are of rebelling. We must ensure that access to science becomes increasingly difficult and elitist, that a divide forms between people and science, and that information for the general public contains no subversive content. Above all, no philosophy. Here too, we must use the power of persuasion, not open violence. On television, large-scale entertainment programs are broadcast that appeal exclusively to feelings or instincts. The mind will be occupied with the useless and playful. They can distract their minds from thinking through constant chatter and music. We will place sexuality at the very top of a person's interest list. There is no better social tranquilizer. In general, we will do this so that the serious part of existence is eliminated, everything valuable is ridiculed, and frivolity is constantly supported, so that public euphoria becomes the measure of human happiness and a model of freedom. In this way, conditioning leads to such integration that our only fear is being excluded from the system and thus losing access to the conditions necessary for happiness. The mass person thus formed must be treated as what he is: like a cow, and one must care for him like a herd. Everything that leads to the apathy of his clear mind is a public good, and everything that could awaken this good must be mocked, suppressed, and fought. Any doctrine questioning the system must be branded as subversive and terrorist. And those who support it will then be treated as terrorists.”" Günther Anders

Juri Besmenow quote about ideological subversion, brainwashing, and psychological warfareCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Ideological subversion is the process which is legitimate, overt and open, you can see it with your own eyes. All you can do, all Americans need to do is to unplug their bananas from their ears, open up their eyes and they can see. There is no mystery. It has nothing to do with espionage. I know that espionage and intelligence gathering looks more romantic, it probably sells better to the audience through advertising. That is why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond type thrillers. But in reality, the main emphasis of the KGB is not in the area of intelligence at all. In my opinion and the opinion of many defectors of my caliber, only about fifteen percent of time, money and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other eighty-five percent is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion or active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is, to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite an abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their family, their community and their country. It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages. The first one being demoralization. It takes from fifteen to twenty years to demoralize a nation. Why so many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy, exposed to the ideology of the enemy. In other words, Marxism, Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students, without being challenged or contra-balanced by the basic values of Americanism and American patriotism. Most of the activity of the department was to compile huge amounts, volumes of information on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion. Publishers, editors, journalists, actors, educators, professors of political science, members of parliament, representatives of business circles. Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups. Those who were told the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public opinion manipulation. Those who refused the Soviet influence in their country would be character assassinated or physically executed for counter-revolution. The same happened in a small town named HEWA in South Vietnam. Several thousand Vietnamese were executed in one night when the city was captured by the Vietcong for only two days. And American CIA could never figure out how the Communists could possibly know each individual, where he lives, where to get him, and how they were arrested in one night, basically in some four hours before dawn, put on a van, taken out of the city limits and shot."

"The similarity is astonishing, what can be collectively enforced in the name of ‘the good of the people’, formerly under socialism and now under capitalism, in such a small circle! I don't even want to say it out loud, but a little devil on my shoulder whispers almost mischievously in my ear – ‘Welcome back to the GDR’." Katarina Witt

"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

Quote about two forms of power, oppression and seduction, by Gerald HütherCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"There are, after all, two ways of exercising power, so to speak. One is the old way, the one we all know: oppression. We saw that under Stalinism and the like. And then, here in the West, I’ve come to know another form that I hadn’t really thought about before. That is seduction. Seduction is something truly insidious. Because at least you can defend yourself against paternalism and tyranny. Then you remain a subject. It may crush you; it may kill you. You may have to spend your whole life under terrible conditions. But you remain a subject. You can say: “I am, here I stand, I cannot do otherwise.” Someone who has been seduced stands there and has no idea where they are. They protect their seducers. “Oh, then we can’t take our next vacation on a cruise ship after all. And how are we supposed to manage now that gas keeps getting more expensive?”—that’s how the demands of the seduced person come across. And someone like that will, of course, always contribute to maintaining the system of seduction. And that’s why turning people into the seduced is a much surer way of securing power than oppressing them. The Church, by the way, knew this all along." Gerald Hüther
