APRIL 13, 2011 “To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle” — George Orwell The magnetic power which ideologies exert over human beings, while they have become entirely threadbare, is to be explained beyond psychology, in Read More
‘Fundsache’/’Wegmarken’/’Guidepost’
Adorno, Minima Moralia, 43, Surhkamp Frankfurt, 1951 – English below Wenn etwas die Verrantheit der sog. ‘Objektiven Fakten’ – Dogmatiker oder ‘Mainstream Fassadenbauer’ kurz gesagt punktuiert, dann dieser Text – geschrieben im letzten Jahr des 2. Weltkriegs….(F.N.): Bangemachen gilt nicht. – Was objektiv die Wahrheit sei, bleibt schwer genugauszumachen, aber im Umgang mit Menschen soll man davon nicht sich terrorisierenlassen. Es gibt da Kriterien, die fürs erste ausreichen. Eines der zuverlässigsten ist,daß einem entgegengehalten wird, eine Aussage sei »zu subjektiv«. Wird das geltendgemacht und gar mit jener Indignation, in der die wütende Harmonie allervernünftigen Leute mitklingt, so hat man Grund, Read More
Indisputably Disputable Evidence….
Alting von Geusau on Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism,1948. ….Not since the end of the Second World War have so many renowned and acclaimed academics, scientists and medical doctors, including Nobel Prize recipients and nominees, been silenced, deplatformed and fired from their positions only because they do not support the official or ‘correct’ line.

Edwar Snowden’s Christmas Letter ’21
…….the US government has just sought to redefine as acts of heinous criminal conspiracy. Two-hearted, two-minded creatures: the media is full of them. And too many have been content to accept the US government’s determination that what should properly be the highest purpose of the media — the uncovering of truth, in the face of attempts to hide it — is suddenly in doubt and quite possibly illegal. That chill in the air this Christmas season? If Assange’s prosecution is allowed to continue, it will become a freeze. Bundle up. https://www.rsn.org/001/everything-going-great-bad-faith-worse-news-and-julian-assange.html Edward Snowden – Everything Going Great: Bad Faith, Worse Read More

GHF Joins 1% for the Planet as Non-Profit Partner
