“I’m pretty sure: if the climate change thing was miraculously solved, many Germans wouldn’t breathe a sigh of relief. They would become afraid of something else virtually overnight.”
Vince Ebert
“We have become a plague upon ourselves and upon the Earth. It is cosmically unlikely that the developed world will choose to end its orgy of fossil energy consumption, and the Third World its suicidal consumption of landscape. Until such time as Homo Sapiens should decide to rejoin nature, some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along.”
David Graeber
“Ecologism is (among quite a few other ism) a decay product of Marxism. The failed “impoverishment thesis” is replaced by the eco- and climate catastrophe. The goal is the extinction of capitalism – and thus of Western freedom.”
Roland Baader
“I think there are two ways in which people are controlled. First of all, frighten people, and secondly, demoralise them. […] An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern. And I think there’s an element in the thinking of some people… ‘We don’t want people to be educated, healthy and confident, because they would get out of control.'”
Anthony ‚Tony‘ Neil Wedgwood Benn
“If you believe that the most basic human liberties ought to be contingent on taking a product from a giant pharmaceutical company then you are not liberal or left wing. You’re not a conservative or patriotic. There is only one word to describe you and that is Fascist.”
Dave Smith
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
Carl Sagan
“Very soon the nations will look to Aliens for their salvation. […] contemporary societies will soon see extraterrestrials as the saviors of mankind […] Jesus might be the son of a star child.”
Guy Consolmagno
“Very soon we will not have to deny our Christian faith…but there is information coming from another world, and once it is confirmed it is going to require a re-reading of the Gospel as we know it.”
Jesuit Pater Giuseppe Tanzella Nitti
