Erich Maria Remarque Quote: The True Attitude Towards War Revealed!
“I always thought everyone was against war until I found out there are those who are all for it, especially those who do not have to go there.”
Erich Maria Remarque
“I always thought everyone was against war until I found out there are those who are all for it, especially those who do not have to go there.”
Erich Maria Remarque
“You wish to know my “confidential opinion as to the honesty of the Associated Press.” My opinion, not confidential, is that it is the damndest, meanest monopoly on the face of the earth–the wet-nurse for all other monopolies. It lies by day, it lies by night, and it lies for the very lust of lying. Its news-gatherers, I sincerely believe, only obey orders.”
James H. Barry
“Journalism is one of the devices whereby industrial autocracy keeps its control over political democracy; it is the day-by-day, between-elections propaganda, whereby the minds of the people are kept in a state of acquiescence, so that when the crisis of an election comes, they go to the polls and cast their ballots for either one of the two candidates of their exploiters.”
Upton Sinclair
“What if the democracy we thought we were serving no longer exists, and the Republic has become the very evil we have been fighting to destroy?”
Padmé Amidala
“The secret of liberty is to enlighten men, as that of tyranny is to keep them in ignorance.”
Maximilien de Robespierre
“If you don’t realize at a certain age that you are surrounded mostly by idiots, you don’t realize it for a certain reason.”
Curt Goetz
“Numbing the senses by monotonously repeating an assertion is a key element in utilizing mind control techniques.”

“Ready made opinions can be distributed day by day through the press, radio, and so on, again and again, till they reach the nerve cell and implant a fixed pattern in the brain. Consequently, guided public opinion is the result, according to Pavlovian theoreticians, of good propaganda technique, and the polls [are] a verification of the temporary successful action of the Pavlovian machinations on the mind.”
Joost A.M. Meerloo
“The continual intrusion into our minds of the hammering noises of arguments and propaganda can lead to two kinds of reactions. It may lead to apathy and indifference, the I-don’t-care reaction, or to a more intensified desire to study and to understand. Unfortunately, the first reaction is the more popular one.”
Joost A.M. Meerloo
