"Mit der
Abschaffung der Meinungsfreiheit, zunächst in
bestimmten Bereichen, wurde der Weg zur Abschaffung
des Rechtsstaates, der Weg in die Knechtschaft,
betreten.
Denn wo die
Wahrheit gering geschätzt wird, geht bald die
Freiheit verloren."

weil ihre Regierung zu klein gewesen wäre."

Based upon the Book “Practices of looking” from Chapter 1 “Images and ideology”, from Chapter 2 “Reading images as ideological subjects”, from Chapter 5 “Media and the public sphere” and an essay of Adrian Piper “Ideology, confrontation and political self-awareness”.
In the mind of many people political ideology is often associated with dictatorial systems, such as for example National Socialism or Communism. But, as the book and essay establish “By living in a society, we live in ideology.” meaning that ideology, also political ideology is an element of a democracy.
Adrian Piper called ideologies pernicious and formulated three point essential for identification of ideology:
1. The false identity mechanism. Identification of beliefs, as objective facts.
2. The illusion of perfectibility. The end of self-scrutiny is achieved and there is no need to further examinations.
3. The one-way communication mechanism. Treating own pronouncements as imparting genuine information, but treating those of other people as mere symptoms of some moral or psychological defect.
Already the Ideologists of the 20th century realized early enough the possibilities of the new mass media and power of images as the means for carrying out their ideas to the citizens of their countries and the world. As for example movie of Leni Riefenstahl made during the Olympic games in 1936 in Nazi Germany paying tribute to the beauty of the
healthy Aryan body. The myth of the photographic truth gave the ideologists additional possibility to claim the objectivity for their course, making viewers forget how easily the images can be manipulated with just a different commentary or by removing or implanting elements from or to them. After Trotzkys emigration from Soviet Union under Stalin
regime all of his images were erased from the photos of the Russian revolution thought he was a man who made this revolution happening. Of course to manipulate the public in a dictatorship is much easier as to do the same in a democracy, but not entirely impossible, especially if the owners of the media have an interest in the same ideology and carry
out similar beliefs. To produce images and to choose which images the public get to see in order to convince people in justness/correctness of political ideologies has also one important benefit in our 21st century. After the significant political events of the 20th century which were captured for public through the lens of the photo- or film camera
the image makes of today know what people want to see, what moves them and which associations they make.
The American politic in the last years is for me a great example about the birth of the political ideology and attempt to support it and influenced the public through visual images.
As we know today, the idea of a new world order was shaped during the 1990 by the neoconservative thinkers in US. Elimination of Saddam Hussein was one of the key elements for archiving peace in Middle East and subsequently the world. In the January 2001 George W. Bush became 43rd President of America and many of the neocons, including vice president
Dick Cheney and secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld became important positions in the Government.
Thought new ideologists came to the power, the case of Saddam was not yet presented to the broad public. Everything changed on September 11.
The chilling images of two planes flying low and crashing into the Twin Towers would stay with us forever through the remaining history of a mankind. It is something we never seen before and hopefully will never see again. The photo of a fireman raising flag over the “Ground Zero” became a symbolic meaning and stands in the same row as the other image
icons: the photo of Joe Rosenthal of American soldiers, raising flag over the island Iwo Jima or the photo of Yevgeni Khaldei of the Russian soldiers raising flag over bomb-wrecked Berlin. The ruins of WTC in our minds are identical with the images we know of the war and indeed they and the image of smoked Pentagon confirmed the statement of the
President that America “was at war”. The attack was almost immediately established as an act of the Arab terrorist and the image of the Osama bin Laden with the bounty put on his head indicated him not as a political force, but as a common criminal. The images of the debris of WTC united, as nothing before almost all countries under the roof of the UN
and provided the maybe only one chance in history to take down the taliban regime in Afghanistan. But this was not enough to satisfy the neocons and politic makers. Iraq was their goal. All three points identified by Piper began to take shape: false identity, perfectibility and one-way communication. In the following months Saddam, W.M.D. and harboring
of terrorists groups became center of attention. The White House, Pentagon and other institutions put a lot of pressure on CIA and with every scrap of information became more and more convinced that their beliefs are the actual facts. The media, specially led by right-wing press magnate Rupert Murdoch eagerly took the hint and painted Saddam as evil.
His image was always linked to the image of Ossama even then there was never the actual connection. He was always shown in his uniform in uniform before his council or aiming his newly presented gun at some target, the image which rise the question: “Who is he pointing at?” (For those who are interested in history this image of Saddam reminds of the
documentary movie image made of Stalin, who in the same fashion aims his newly presented gun at the opening of a Congress of the Communistic party and pointing it at the delegates. From hundreds of them Stalin time survived only view.) Old images of Saddams ready to fight army were shown again and again. Because there were never the actual images of
W.M.D they there very vividly painted by Colin Powel in his famous or may be infamous speech in front of the UN and the world and by President himself, “We cannot wait for the final proof- the smoking gun- that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.” The mentioning of the mushroom cloud is enough to wake up the image of the mushroom cloud over
Japan imprinted in our minds. The more time went, the more the President, his administration and, as result of media campaign, the public were convinced that their idea of taking out Saddam by military force would be the perfect solution to many problems, including terrorism. The critical voices were very faint, for America was at war and at those
times, after the tradition nobody criticized the Government. Those who raised their voices were simply proclaimed “unpatriotic” and “Liberals”. “Dixie Chicks” who were ashamed of the President from Texas were banished from local mostly conservative Radio and TV stations and trashed by the press. Peter Arnett, the famous journalist was fired for his
critical remarks. TV did not welcome antiwar aids and banished all the antiwar slogans from Grammy and Oscar events. Administration and American press heavily discredited Hans Blix the Chief weapons inspector. Even more prominent one-way communication became evident in the foreign policy of the US with the countries opposing the war. Rumsfeld sneered
at especially France and Germany as the “Old Europe”. Old wounds were reopened. The media painted Germany as “unthankful”, sells of German products and exports to the US went down for the next months. More punches were thrown toward France. It began with official renaming of “French fries” into “Freedom fries”. (By the way the name “French fries” has
not as much to do with France as with the cook of Thomas Jefferson who named this particular style of potatoes after the European country.) It went so far as suggesting boycott against French products, such as Michelin tires and French wine, not considering that the tires were made by American workers and wine bought and paid by American importers.
Nothing matted at the time and the images of the Americans draining French wine into the sewerage went around the world. Russian President Putin was called “Chiracs puddle”, UN as the “the looming chatterbox on the Hudson”.
So sure in their own ideology and politics the current administrations marched to a war. To use the mass media as a useful instrument for promotion of the war the term of the “embedded” journalism was found. The images of the heavy equipped American soldiers were very impressive and boosted sale of the military equipment from sunglasses to GPS and we
were presented with images of the top Iraqi officials adorning playing cards. Everybody waited for the first promised images of happy Iraqis. The images of them from the Gulf war there constantly present in the media, but not many of this kind came from the operation “Iraqi Freedom” and those view there repeated over and over. The swift march toward
Baghdad was not a “cake-walk” but still gave us gut impression of the superiority of the American army, while the feared Saddams forces simply disappeared in Iraqi desert leaving us almost no images. Then, from the Arab TV came the first photos of captured and dead American soldiers, which arouse protest from American site, because it went against the
international agreements. The famous rescue mission of Jessica Lynch resembles reality TV show, the legend and the icon was created, even if only for the first time. War needs heroes. Then came the fall of Baghdad. But liberated Baghdad did not resemble the image of liberated Paris by the end of WWII and the image of the statue of Saddam taken down did
not carry the same power and convey the same fillings as the images of the broken through Berlin wall. Then came the theatrical stunt of the President Bush. Landing on the USS Lincoln in full gear he announce the end of the major combat operations. His image was so impressive, almost like an image of an fearless warrior who led his troops into the
battle, that the viewer forget, that most of the war he spent behind his table and like all of as in front of the TV. It was the last time the administration and the media spoke the same language. From that moment, the media went on counting the casualties on both sides and bringing every day more disturbing images of violence, while the President and
the Administration are trying to insure us that with the elimination of Saddam Iraq and the world became better and safer place. In the years to come the history will judge over the current political ideology and events, the viewer over the value of the images and influence of the mass media. But it is already clear how tightly woven those components
are. Today every rebel, terrorist or bandit in Iraq knows the simple formula: behead a hostage, take it on video, send the tape to a TV station, make with that your ideology clear and it would keep terrified foreigners from the country.

Soviet
fascism, though the heirs
of Nazi-fascism live; but the biggest threat
to freedom
lies
in Islamic fascism.
Freedom is not
self-evident.
We are

For the sake of

"Europa ist nicht mehr Europa, es ist 'Eurabien',
eine Kolonie des Islam, wo die islamische Invasion
nicht nur physisch voranschreitet, sondern auch auf
geistiger und kultureller Ebene."
Oriana Fallaci

"Seit
den Anfängen der Geschichte stehen sich die beiden
Antagonisten gegenüber: der Schöpfer und der
Schmarotzer. Als der erste Schöpfer das Rad erfand,
tat der erste Schmarotzer den Gegenzug. Er erfand
den Altruismus."

"Wir
sind keine Bürger mehr, wir sind Untertanen, bloße
Zuschauer am Schicksal, das andere für uns gewählt
haben. Wir sind nur dann Bürger, wenn wir echten
Einfluss darauf haben, wie unsere Steuergelder
ausgegeben werden. Wir sind Untertanen, wenn wir die
Steuern einfach nur bezahlen, während andere
entscheiden, was mit diesem Geld gemacht wird.

political corollary of socialism, as representative
government is the political corollary of the market
economy."

"Der Islam

Ayaan Hirsi Ali

"Es gibt eben
keine andere Wahl als die: entweder von Eingriffen
in das Spiel des Marktes abzusehen oder aber die
gesamte Leitung der Produktion und der Verteilung an
die Obrigkeit zu übertragen. Entweder Kapitalismus
oder Sozialismus; ein Mittelding gibt es nicht."
Ludwig von Mises

"Public interest
criteria" does not mean criteria that the public
decides are in its interest. It means that the elite
– via various appointed bodies – decide what the
public’s interest is for them."
Mark Steyn

"Es
gibt keine einfachere, keine wirksamere und keine
dauerhaft verläßlichere Methode der
