Jean-Luc Godard Quote: Cannes as a Propaganda Tool – Revelations on Staging & War

„Zelensky's intervention at the Cannes festival goes without saying if you look at it from the angle of what is called "staging": a bad actor, a professional comedian, under the eye of other professionals in their own professions. I believe I must have said something along these lines a long time ago. It therefore took the staging of yet another world war and the threat of another catastrophe for us to know that Cannes is a propaganda tool like any other. They propagate Western aesthetics whilst thinking it is not a big deal, but it is just that. The truth of the images is only advancing slowly. Now imagine that the war itself is this aesthetic deployed during a world festival, whose stakeholders are the states in conflict, or rather “interests”, broadcasting representations of which we are all spectators for… you, like me. We often say “conflict of interest”, which is a tautology. There is no conflict, big or small, unless there is interest. Brutus, Nero, Biden, or Putin, Constantinople, Iraq or Ukraine, not much has changed, apart from the mass murder.“

"The tales of gouged-out eyes and severed hands which appear on the third or fourth day of every war filled the newspapers. They did not know, those innocents who spread such lies, that the accusation of every possible cruelty against the enemy is as much war materiel as are munitions and planes, and that they are systematically taken out of storage at the beginning of every war. War does not permit itself to be coordinated with reason and righteousness. [...] Shakespeare was banned from the German stage, Mozart and Wagner from the French and English concert halls, German professors declared that Dante had been Germanic, the French that Beethoven had been a Belgian, intellectual culture was requisitioned without scruple from the enemy countries like grain and ore. [...] After a few weeks, determined to escape this dangerous mass psychosis, I moved to a rural suburb to commence my personal war in the midst of war, the struggle against the betrayal of Reason by the current mass passion." Stefan Zweig

Quote on propaganda and mass suggestion by Milosz MatuschekCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Almost a hundred years ago, the philosopher John Dewey said that we are living in the greatest flood of mass suggestion that mankind has ever seen. But in 100 years, the superlative has only swelled, albeit without this being publicized today. Edward Bernays called propaganda the “executive arm of the invisible government”. And he recognized that propaganda is to democracies what violence is to dictators. Perhaps that would be a contemporary definition of propaganda: it is a Permanent Toxic Rape of Consciousness, or PTRC for short. It is a permanent mindfuck by governments and corporate business, mediated by the media, carried out by bought comedians à la Böhmermann, pseudo-journalists à la Lanz, pseudo-intellectuals à la Precht, pseudo-health politicians, such as the pharmaceutical and drugs minister Lauterbach, pseudo-defence politicians such as Strack-Rheinmetall-Zimmermann, and other parvenus such as Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim, Eckart von Hirschhausen, Sarah Bosetti and other stirrup holders in editorial offices, theaters or foundations."

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

"Wir leben in einem Zeitalter der Massenverblödung, besonders der medialen Massenverblödung.[....] Wenn Sie sich einmal anschauen, wie einseitig die hiesigen Medien, von TAZ bis Welt, über die Ereignisse in der Ukraine berichten, dann kann man wirklich von einer Desinformation im großen Stil berichten, flankiert von den technischen Möglichkeiten des digitalen Zeitalters, dann kann man nur feststellen, die Globalisierung hat in der Medienwelt zu einer betrüblichen Provinzialisierung geführt."

Quote by Christine Prayon on satire and social issues during Corona and the Ukraine warCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"I have become increasingly uncomfortable with the way the major socially defining issues have been handled since Corona. I've also talked to the people in charge there and emphasized that I don't want to participate in exposing dissenters to ridicule. Satire must not participate in narrowing the discourse. And now this is exactly what is happening again with the war in Ukraine. Narratives and positions of groups that are high up in the social hierarchy are being repeated incessantly, and at the same time the mood is being set against those who think differently. In my opinion, this no longer has anything to do with satire." Christine Prayon alias Birte Schneider

Quote on media distortion and partial truths by Ignazio SiloneCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Not a day goes by without the mainstream media reporting on some war, epidemic, or other problem in the world. The problem is that this type of reporting, as we find it, is sheer madness. Information is distorted or not mentioned at all. It is the partial truths that make the press so dangerous. Wars are sold as “humanitarian interventions,” diseases are pushed to play into the hands of the pharmaceutical industry. There are always two sides to every coin, but we are only shown one side, which is supposed to be the “truth.” They show us what they want us to see and leave out what does not fit into their desired worldview. At this point, we should ask ourselves whether we want to continue consuming this filth and supporting it financially by buying certain tabloids such as Bild, Spiegel & Co. “Either you rebel, or you become complicit.”" Ignazio Silone

Original: “L’intervention de Zelensky au festival cannois va de soi si vous regardez ça sous l’angle de ce qu’on appelle « la mise en scène » : un mauvais acteur, un comédien professionnel, sous l’œil d’autres professionnels de leurs propres professions. Je crois que j’avais dû dire quelque chose dans ce sens il y a longtemps. Il aura donc fallu la mise en scène d’une énième guerre mondiale et la menace d’une autre catastrophe pour qu’on sache que Cannes est un outil de propagande comme un autre. Ils propagent l’esthétique occidentale, quoi… S’en rendre compte n’est pas grand-chose mais c’est déjà ça. La vérité des images avance lentement. Maintenant, imaginez que la guerre elle-même soit cette esthétique déployée lors d’un festival mondial, dont les parties prenantes sont les États en conflit, ou plutôt « en intérêts », diffusant des représentations dont on est tous spectateurs… vous comme moi. J’entends qu’on dit souvent « conflit d’intérêt », ce qui est une tautologie. Il n’y a de conflit, petit ou grand, que s’il y a intérêt. Brutus, Néron, Biden, ou Poutine, Constantinople, l’Irak ou l’Ukraine, il n’y a pas grand-chose qui a changé, mise à part la massification du meurtre.”
