“He who dictates and formulates the words and phrases we use, he who is master of the press and radio, is master of the mind. Repeat mechanically your assumptions and suggestions, diminish the opportunity for communicating dissent and opposition. This is the formula for political conditioning of the masses”
Joost A.M. Meerloo
“We know they are lying. They know they are lying. They know that we know they are lying. We know that they know that we know they are lying. And still they continue to lie.”
Alexander Solschenizyn
“[The Moon Landing] is essentially the adult version of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. What primarily motivates them is fear. But it is not the lie itself that scares people; it is what that lie says about the world around us and how it really functions. For if NASA was able to pull off such an outrageous hoax before the entire world, and then keep that lie in place for four decades, what does that say about the control of the information we receive? What does that say about the media, and the scientific community, and the educational community, and all the other institutions we depend on to tell us the truth? What does that say about the very nature of the world we live in?”

“The welfare of the people…has always been the alibi of tyrants…giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience.”
Albert Camus
“Nothing in this world operates the way you think it does. Banks do not loan money, governments are not empowered to protect you, the police department is not there to serve you, institutions of higher learning, colleges and educational institutes, are not there to educate you. The entire superstructure of civilization in the Western world is a combination of brilliantly put together and planned, well-planned, schemes to direct the minds of the people in such a way as to serve their masters.”
Jordan Maxwell
“I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time.”
Henry Louis Mencken
“The word ‘democracy’ is a heavy intoxicant. It prevents learning, clouds the mind, confuses thinking, creates delusions – and eventually makes you sleepy and apathetic. Today’s democracy junkies would murder Socrates again.”
Roland Baader
“One need only translate the terms “conspiracy theorists” as “heretics” to know the tradition in which these terms stand and those who use them. Ultimately, it is about the accusation of apostasy from the ruling faith, which is determined by the ruling authorities and majorities. (Faith in this respect can also be translated as ruling doctrine, ideology, etc.). Thus, contrary to the subjective view of many of its users, the terms are themselves expressions of clerical and authoritarian thought structures based on subjugation as a basic psychological pattern. It is denunciatory, inquisitorial. It is directed against classical skepticism.
Thus, the main purpose of these terms can only be to discredit “serious conjectures”, hypotheses and facts, and thereby prevent real causal research.
The term is linguistically barbaric and show an amazingly powerful psychological effect in suppressing independent thought. Where thought is undesirable, these clubs are used by default: You don’t really want to…think about it. Independent thought is the enemy of government. Psychological operations, such as 9/11 or, say, the NASA “moon landing,” are weapons of mass destruction whose target is independent thought.”
