Introduction to the topic

As a psychologist and long-time psychotherapist, I am convinced that man is good, social and capable of living together without weapons and war (1). However, he is psychologically irritated due to his manipulation in family upbringing and by social institutions.

Only a manipulated human being is capable of inflicting suffering on his fellow human beings: Wars, terrorist actions, kidnapping of children and renting them to paedophiles, organ trafficking, depopulation programmes, displacement, population exchange, falsification of history and so on and so forth.

Inflicting violence and torment on one’s fellow human beings or marching off and striking when the state calls to arms is not the result of free will.

The education of the people has caused them to have to obey the state authorities. Their emotional life is shaped in such a way that they cannot say “NO!”. The fact that he had to follow his father and mother in the nursery is carried by the adult throughout his life – without him being aware of it.

But psychology shows us that people can be helped to become aware of their partly unconscious feelings and behaviour. They can reorient themselves in such a way that they no longer cause suffering to their fellow species.

This psychological approach to explaining human emotional life and behaviour not only corresponds to human nature, it also has a conciliatory effect in contrast to moral reasoning – the question of good and evil.

Only the manipulated human inflicts suffering on his fellow species

Some recent examples make clear what is possible between us humans:

For example, according to “anti-spiegel” of 6 June, a Russian human rights foundation has uncovered a case of organised trafficking of Ukrainian children who have reached South America via intermediate stops, where they are apparently “rented out” to paedophiles for money.

In the face of yet another paedophilia revelation on “Instagram”, Tucker Carlson, the former star anchor of “Fox News”, warned of a deliberate destruction of Western values and believes that there is a system behind the advance of nihilism and the narrowing of the corridor of opinion. In his opinion, it is about destroying values and morals in society and at the same time criminalising any rebellion against them in order to spread fear and terror for the sake of maintaining power (2).

At the summit meeting of the “European Political Community” in Moldova on 1 June, EU chief diplomat Josef Borrell announced his vision of a further enlarged EU including Turkey and Azerbaijan and said: “This will be the ‘dawn of a world without Russia'”. No Western politician has ever spoken so openly about the true plans of expansion (3).

World-renowned researcher and author Dr Naomi Wolf revealed that Pfizer’s “killer injections” (König) were not developed to save humanity from a disease, but to decimate it. It is a depopulation plan that emerges from the giant US pharmaceutical company’s own documents.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mariya Zakharova took the opportunity of US Senator Lindsay Graham’s linguistic gaffe in Kiev (“Russians dying – that’s the best thing we’ve ever spent money on”) to recall the extensive US financial aid and investment to Hitler’s Germany that had already led to World War II (4).

According to a report by the online media portal “InfoBRICS”, former US Congressman and ex-presidential candidate Ron Paul stated that the importance of the US dollar is rapidly declining – and that this is just the beginning. It should surprise no one that other nations are “finally trying” to compete with the US dollar. The reason for the weakening of the US currency, he said, is other countries’ fatigue with US interventionist policies.

Literally, he said:

“We are an interventionist government. We interfere with personal freedom, we interfere with economic freedom. We interfere in the internal affairs of every other nation in the world. We tell them what to do, we impose sanctions to punish them, and then we wonder. (…).” (5)

Finally, an excerpt from the short story “The Lament of the Migratory Bird” (6) by the Kyrgyz writer Chingiz Aitmatov, who died 15 years ago in Nuremberg. in the face of clashing weapons and human destruction, the animal observer warns people:

“Heaven protect you from suffering that no human being can bear, from conflagrations that no one can extinguish, from bloody wars that no one can stop, from deeds that no one can make good. Heaven protect you from suffering that no one can bear any more.” (7)

Time of reason?

For a long time, humanity lived emotionally in the Middle Ages; what the priest said applied. New thoughts were not allowed; they were punished. But in the course of centuries, humanity has evolved out of the Middle Ages and thought about the world, God and heaven. Many people have come to the point where they doubt whether what the priest once told them is true. They began to think. This was the beginning of the age of reason. But what does this time of reason look like today?

Although people have made tremendous progress in technology and also in other areas of life, there is one thing they have not recognised: themselves. They have not approached themselves, their psyche. Although they have begun to feel responsible for what is happening here in the world, they have not recognised themselves and the other human being. That is why they are not reasonable when it comes down to it, but fail. And this in spite of their increasing reason and in spite of the fact that they have put nature at their service and landed on the moon.

No human being knew about himself, his feelings and his life before the age of reason, until the physician Sigmund Freud (1856-1930) made the discovery in Vienna that humans have an unconscious. Although Freud made speculations that are denied today, his discovery was of great importance.

The depth psychologist Alfred Adler (1870-1937) then realised that people could be helped. With the help of a psychotherapist, he can be reoriented, his feelings can be reformed and he can finally choose reason. Unfortunately, there are still few psychologists today who take care of people’s problems. The knowledge of the person who turns to the study of psychology usually falls on the old ground. He is religious, national, patriotic, believer in the state. He stands on the standpoint of preserving the system.

People are also deliberately misled and misled so that they do not come to their senses. The assessment of the US-NATO proxy war against Russia shows this very clearly. The fact that people put up with this misleading is due to their upbringing. The research results of psychology teach us that upbringing is designed in such a way that already in the first years of life the child can only follow and not say “NO”.

The manipulation begins in the parental home and school – and is supported by the state, the church and the corporate media.

Already in childhood, people are manipulated in such a way that they then respond to everything, are capable of everything. There is hardly a person who has escaped unscathed.

This manipulation is carried along and continued by the state and the church with its various institutions. He is manipulated in such a way that he is not capable of thinking clearly; at the decisive moment he falls down. For example, although the West is fighting the East with all the permissible and impermissible means at its disposal, it is supported emotionally and materially by most of the citizens of the USA and Europe. This is what we do as good Christians. While people in many parts of the world have to starve, we arm ourselves and do not produce the necessities of life. In doing so, we are preparing for the new world war.

Above all, authoritarian education results in a tendency in our thinking and feeling that we know no other opinion. We are so manipulated that we fall for the lure of the authorities and therefore, with few exceptions, fully support the insane proxy war of the US-NATO against Russia, in which Ukrainian and Russian youth are bleeding to death.

The corporate media contribute significantly to this evil. Their venal journalists contribute to the dumbing down of the masses by creating images of the enemy, by warmongering, manipulation and propaganda. Pleasing journalists even receive a multi-million euro fee from governments for this (8).

As early as 1889, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Bertha von Suttner described the press as a “tool of the war ministry” that is “in the service of mass stupefaction, agitation and hate propaganda” (9). Journalists would actually be obliged to be “peacemakers” for the people. But they do not take responsibility for the common good of humanity.

We are the silent ones!

Since we humans are the product of our childhood experiences, what matters is how we experienced our relationship persons, how much trust and how much courage we received and what kind of mood we experienced. We don’t have to have been beaten. Often it is the displeasure, the denial and the rejection that we experienced as a child that, as unconscious emotions, do not make us happy in later life.

Yet the parents usually meant well. In their ignorance they were strict or spoiled us. In any case, they were unable to deal with the child properly. For example, the learned fear of expressing one’s own opinion or of not saying the wrong thing can lead to silence even in the adult. He does not dare to say anything because he might make a mistake or what he wants to say is not quite right.

The adult already got that as a child! He was taught this in childhood – this fear of being precise, very precise! Many people become silencers as a result.

Embrace the results of psychological research!

If people make the results of psychological research their own and get to know themselves and their fellow human beings, then their view of state conditions and the entire social order will change decisively and they will create a humane life for themselves and their descendants (10).

The change in the thoroughly violent world must come from within themselves.
