"They've been programmed and I'm sad because I know that it's hard for people like that to take an interest - serious interest in world affairs - taken serious interest in what their elected officials are doing and they're not going to be really inclined to study and or discover the deception that's being used against them and so I'm sad because I I see all of that in the flash in my mind as being an indication of how easy it is for the masses to be manipulated"

"Almost all of these decisions were made against the majority of Germans. In many cases, the Germans' attitude has only changed in retrospect. I also think it is reasonable for the population to first look at the result of a measure and then form a judgment about it. I believe this is an expression of the primacy of politics. And that should be upheld."
Dr. Angela Merkel

"Measured against what had gone before, we achieved a huge success. We replaced the entire leadership of almost all of Berlin's security agencies and brought in some pretty good people. In the fire department, the police, the public prosecutor's office and also the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. I very much hope that this will have a noticeable effect in the future."

"The public debating chamber is at the heart of democracy. However, it can only fulfill its function if it is intact in the sense you mentioned. Since the media constitute the public debate space in the first place, they must be designed in such a way that they do not distort it in favor of powerful interest groups. By their very nature, corporate media cannot perform such a task, as their integration into economic power structures almost inevitably makes them an instrument with which powerful economic lobby groups can covertly introduce themselves into the public debate."
Prof. Rainer Mausfeld

"For the newspaper is in all literalness the bible of democracy, the book out of which a people determines its conduct. It is the only serious book most people read. It is the only book they read every day."

Copyright © yoice.net – Quote ArtworkGeorge Carlin Quote: The Harsh Truth About Politicians and the Public
"Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. Fuck Hope."
George Carlin
