"Aucune société avant la nôtre n'a été vouée au travail. Et c'est en même temps la nôtre qui est vraisemblablement créatrice de pénurie. Ceci peut paraître un paradoxe car nous sommes habitués à l'idée inverse, à savoir que dans le passé l'homme manquait de tout, et que c'est depuis nos développement technique que paraît l'abondance, alors qu'il faut exactement envisager les choses autrement. La science économique, c'est la gestion de la rareté, de la pénurie. Nous sommes la société qui est, depuis les origines, la plus créatrice de manque. Bien sûr nous avons produit massivement des biens industriels, mais en même temps une pénurie de biens naturels, allant maintenant jusqu'à celle de l'air, de l'eau, et des principales matières premières. Il s'agit d'évaluer ce rapport : plus nous travaillons, plus nous épuisons les richesses spontanées de la nature, plus nous voulons aussi consommer des biens toujours davantage complexes et glorifiants. Et plus ceci exige alors de nouvelles forces de travail engagées dans de nouveaux processus de production."
- Jaques Ellul - Pour qui, pour quoi, travaillons-nous ?
Extrait repris dans la dystopie écologique "Air" de Bertil Scali et Raphaël de Andreis

Quote
The first great fact which emerges from our civilization is that today everything has become "means." There is no longer an "end"; we do not know whither we are going. We have forgotten our collective ends, and we possess great means: we set huge machines in motion in order to arrive nowhere.
Jaques Ellul, via Eugene H. Peterson’s A Long Obedience in the Same Direction

"Propaganda. Wie die öffentliche Meinung ensteht und geformt wird" von Jacques Ellul. Rezension
“Propaganda. Wie die öffentliche Meinung ensteht und geformt wird” von Jacques Ellul. Rezension
Dem Begriff Propaganda (von lateinisch propagare‚ weiter ausbreiten, ausbreiten, verbreiten) haftet inzwischen bereits lange ein bestimmter Ruch an. Für viele Menschen ist Propaganda oder die Bezeichnung eines Menschen als Propagandist deshalb vorwiegend negativ konnotiert.Doch es gab eben auch eine Zeit, da Propaganda u.a. auch schlicht und für Produktwerbung stand. Und Propagandisten halt…

Artificial images
This, then, is our situation today: through the eruption of unlimited artificial images, we have reduced truth to the order of reality and banished the they and fleeting expression of truth. Strangest of all, we are not dealing with the identification of truth with reality already found in science. Instead, this “reality” is really fiction—literally simulated, depicted. This reality is falsified, but it constitutes the new visible human universe. It is a visible universe of proliferating images produced by all sorts of techniques. No longer are we surrounded by fields, woods, and rivers, but by signs, signals, billboards, screens, labels, and trademarks: this is our universe. And when the screen shows us a living reality, such as people’s faces or other countries, this is still a fiction: it is a constructed and recombined reality. Jaques Ellul The Humiliation of the Word

“When our hearts are void of God we are a vacuum for propaganda and hate!”
August 17, 2019
“When our hearts are void of God we are a vacuum for propaganda and hate!”
Rom.1:16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
1:17 For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."{Habakkuk 2:4}
Rom.1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
1:23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things. 1:24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves, 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Ps.19:1 <<For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.>> The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
19:2 Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge. 19:3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 19:4 Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun.
Proverbs 11:9 With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
Facts: In his book Propagandes, Jaques Ellul talked of the power of slogans to inhibit the flow of thought and debate. When repeated regularly and ubiquitously, they become a kind of truth in and of themselves. Ellul illustrated this with examples from medieval France, such as Tous Justice emande du roi (All Justice Comes from the King) and Que veut le roi si veut la loi (What the king wants is what the law wants) which were designed to justify monarchical absolutism.

Rule By Technology: The Impact of Science on Society by Betrand Russell by Gadgetsfact.com
It has often been assume that technology is magically in our hands for our betterment and delight. But insider authors including Bertrand Russell, Aldous Huxley, Jaques Ellul and Edward Bernays have all made clear that these are tools that make centralized control easier and more all encompassing.
Rulers want to marginalize their competitors and control their populations; so why would science be…
