Guido Westerwelle on the Silent Threat to Freedom in Germany – Shocking Truths!

"The threat to freedom in Germany does not come with violence and noise, but rather quietly. It comes with all sorts of justifications, often well-intentioned ones. For example, when it comes to civil rights. In times when we are all concerned about the threat of terrorism, when we all naturally have to do everything we can for our citizens so that they can live happy lives unharmed. In times like these, parties and politicians come along and say, 'Now is the time to once again gradually reduce civil rights, which always bother us a little anyway. Freedom always dies inch by inch, as Karl Herrman Flach once put it. And freedom does not die because of politicians, it does not die because politicians want to restrict civil rights and liberties, but rather it becomes dangerous for freedom when citizens forget their own immune system, which must arm them against any threat to freedom. And for me, that is the decisive self-image of our party. That we say: For us, the citizen comes first and then the state. Other parties trust the state first and only then trust the citizens. Under the pretext of creating security, every civil right can be called into question. Under the pretext that security requires it, every tightening of the law can be decided. We fight this wherever we can, in the federal government, in parliament, but ladies and gentlemen, we also need the citizens. We also need self-confident citizens who do not accept the statement: “If you have nothing to hide, you should not complain.” No, we want a nation of self-confident citizens, not subjects of the state."

Joost A.M. Meerloo Quotes: Profound Insights on Freedom of Thought and Delusion
"Where thinking is isolated without free exchange with other minds and can no longer expand, delusion may follow. Whenever ideas are compartmentalized, behind and between curtains, the process of continual alert confrontation of facts and reality is hampered. The system freezes, becomes rigid, and dies of delusion."
Joost A.M. Meerloo
Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr. Quote: Why Violence and Power Are Never Moral
"If something is wrong for you or me, it is also wrong for the cop, the soldier, the mayor, the governor, the general, the Fed chairman, the president. Theft does not become acceptable when they call it taxation, counterfeiting when they call it monetary policy, kidnapping when they call it the draft, mass murder when they call it foreign policy. We understand that it is never acceptable to wield violence nor the threat of violence against the innocent, whether by the mugger or the politician."
Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Conformity Pressure in German Media – Shocking Insights!
"When I sometimes leaf through my company's press review in the morning, I get the feeling that the range of opinion used to be broader. There is an astonishing homogeneity in German editorial offices when it comes to weighing up and classifying information. The pressure to conform in the minds of journalists seems to me to be quite high."
Frank-Walter Steinmeier
Henri-Louis Bergson Quotes: Awaken Your Spiritual Immune System and Follow Your Heart!
"Fortunately, some are born with a spiritual immune system that sooner or later rejects the illusory worldview that has been grafted onto them from birth through social conditioning. They begin to sense that something is wrong, and the search for answers begins. Inner knowledge and abnormal external experiences show them a side of reality that others ignore, and so their journey to awakening begins. Each step of the journey is taken by following the heart rather than following the crowd, and by choosing knowledge rather than the veils of ignorance."

John Lennon Quote: Revealing the True Madness of Our Society!
"Our society is run by mad men, for crazy targets. I think we are driven by mad men, to a mad end, And I think I am imprisoned as a madman because I say that. That is what's insane about it."
John Lennon
John Lennon Quote: The Stark Truth About Violence and Humor in the System’s Game
"When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you – pull your beard, flick your face – to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor."
John Lennon
John Lennon Quote: Why Peaceful Humor Defeats the Establishment
"Peace is only got by peaceful methods. To fight the establishment with their own weapons is no good because they always win and they’ve been winning for thousands of years. They know how to play the game 'violence'. What they don’t know how to handle is peaceful humour"
John Lennon
Quote on Vaccination Policy: A Call for Equality and Scientific Neutrality!
"An urgent word to Mayor Keck and all current political decision-makers: There is no tyranny of the unvaccinated! Educate yourselves before proclaiming such theses. Advocate for an immediate end to discrimination and unequal treatment of the unvaccinated in public life, workplaces, schools, and daycare centers. Demand a halt to the downplaying of vaccine information and a return to scientific neutrality incorporating economics and social sciences, moving away from the lobby-aligned panic policies that deliberately ignore scientific facts and trample on fundamental democratic values."

Hannah Arendt Quote: Why Teaching to Think Forever Changes Obedience!

Ludwig von Mises Quote: The Brutal Truth About State and Law
"The state subjugates, imprisons, and kills. People tend to forget this because law-abiding citizens submit to the authority of the government without complaint in order to avoid punishment. But lawyers are more realistic and call a law that cannot be enforced by coercion an imperfect law. The authority of man-made laws rests entirely on the weapons of the police, who enforce obedience to their regulations"
Ludwig von Mises
