How harmless the effect of a cigarette seems according to the present-day level of knowledge in contrast to the effect of music, which does not orientate itself towards the natural order of the harmony laws of music.
The cigarette might at best be harmful to our physiological health; music that is made without regard to the natural order of the harmony laws of music, which is therefore unnaturally structured, trains a person into becoming a fully automatic fighting machine against natural evolution.

As our radio and television organisations are also to a great extent actively participating in the mentioned spreading of an addiction to destroy, by employing unnaturally structured music, those re­spon­sible: the director-generals, the members of the radio coun­cils and administrative councils were informed of these facts, and called to bear the responsibility.

Just as these institutions verbally throw their weight behind the removal of ecological crises in the various areas, they should make themselves familiar with their foundations, and participate actively in their genuine removal.

It seems to be so fashionable among today’s media to oppose pow­er stations and their nuclear power stations or chemical plants or dictatorships, violence in the streets, xenophobia and drug ad­dic­tion, but they should be clear about the fact that to a large extent, the thinking of destruction – from self-destruction and de­struc­tion of social peace to environmental destruction – is es­tab­lished through themselves in the thinking of the individual citizen.

A continuation of this long-established path in the same way must finally – in contrast to the Third Reich – establish dictatorial thinking and a blind destructive frenzy in the mind of the in­di­vid­ual citizen – a process, citizens cannot resist, and for which they therefore cannot be blamed.

Whilst in the Third Reich a relative minority were governing in their dictatorial thinking and their blind destructive frenzy (“Do you want total war?!”), present-day media – meanwhile aware of the facts – educate each single citizen, above all: the children and young people, without them generally realising or able to resist, in general destruction – ranging from self-destruction to destruction of social peace in their parental home, at school and in the streets to ecological destruction.

This is not at all about “musical quality” in the traditional sense or about musical “aesthetics” or about musical styles: with any kind of music – ranging from rock and pop music over supposed folk music to so-called classical music, composers and interpreters can respect or contravene the natural order of the musical harmony laws.

As far as benefits and harm of music in society is concerned, only naturalness in the structure of music is directly and exclusively addressed – beyond all tastes in music or traditional music stan­dards.

According to present scientific knowledge, today’s music is clas­si­fied as being much more dangerous as, for instance, cocaine.
As long as those responsible do not stop the socio-political de­struc­tive misuse of music, the problems will continue to spiral out of control.

New times bring new discoveries.
A lot is being done in all kinds of directions to solve problems, but nobody has apparently thought of the present-day music scene as the strongest and most active cause of all socio-political problems – because this would possibly require a new kind of sound mu­si­col­ogical knowledge, adequate for the problems of our time.

Thus, the destructive powers of music quite often act, as a matter of course, in the centre of cultural life, and nobody has so far been the slightest bit aware of the effect, undermining and devastating natural human dignity, we are here dealing with on a socio-political level.

The musicians of the new generation must learn to structure their work according to the harmony laws of nature – the rep­re­sen­ta­tives of rock and pop music, as well as the rep­re­sen­ta­tives of so-called folk music, light music or the modern avant-garde, and even church music.

None of them need leave their music genre for this – each has its very own value – but the musicians should make very serious ef­forts in the interest of social and ecological harmony, to live in harmony with nature in their public work.

And the media – above all those under so-called public law –, should be more critical and respect human dignity, instead of continuing to actively participate in the destruction of our society.
