E. Michael Jones
“Kollotai’s book, written in the disillusionment of exile, was a frank description of how liberation felt from the inside; it also granted a candid look into the psyches of those who had liberated themselves from morals only to find themselves, as a result, the slaves of passion.”
E. Michael Jones, Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation and Political Control

E. Michael Jones
“[...] advertisers soon came to realize that consumers were not “infinitely malleable.” [...] As they became more and more convinced that the consumer was motivated by nonrational and even irrational buying appeals, they were forced to consider the nature of desire and where those desires came from. [...] they began to realize that consumption patterns varied widely from the objective circumstances dictated by a real world and were more influenced by unacknowledged desires. These desires, however, were radically limited in number and had only a tenuous connection to a product, but that connection could be strengthened by conditioning. It was at this point that the advertisers began to see sex as a marketing strategy. Man was not “infinitely malleable”; he was a rational creature with a tenuous hold on his passions, which were limited in number, sex being one of the most easily manipulated. Success in advertising meant, therefore, using the conditioned reflex to attach a particular product to the consumer’s sexual passion.”
E. Michael Jones, Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation and Political Control

E. Michael Jones
“[...] it should be obvious that for the new woman, love and identity are mutually exclusive. A woman can have love or she can have an “ego,” but she can’t have both. [...] Love means the extinction of personality. A woman can only be herself if she renounces love. [...] The new woman is a self that is forever lonely, drawn to a love that is forever devouring and humiliating.”
E. Michael Jones

E. Michael Jones
“In order to re-engineer man, the “invisible governors” had to create a world populated by “mass man,” rootless individuals cut off from ethnic and religious affiliation who relied not on religion or tradition or the moral codes they propagated, but rather on the opinion of what seemed to be everyone else as propagated by the mass media. The new authority which everyone followed in this regard was science. Science broke taboos; science gave rational permission whereas tradition proposed only irrational restraint.”
E. Michael Jones, Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation and Political Control

Gabor Maté
“Bessel van der Kolk told me. He then cited Socrates: “An unexamined life is not worth living. As long as one doesn’t examine oneself, one is completely subject to whatever one is wired to do, but once you become aware that you have choices, you can exercise those choices.”
Gabor Maté, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture
