FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO – Putting Society on Trial

By Dr. Elias Rubenstein

What if society itself were guilty?

What if the systems we trust—governments, religions, education, health care, media—are not designed to serve us, but to control us? What if democracy has become a myth, taxation a modern tribute system, and religion a tool to suppress the very freedom it once promised?

In For They Know Not What They Do, Elias Rubenstein puts society on trial—fearlessly, methodically, and with clarity that leaves no refuge in denial. Based on the acclaimed German original, this book is not a call to rebellion, but to awareness. It is not a conspiracy theory—but a sharp diagnosis of a world sleepwalking into deeper dependency, deception, and decay.

• Why do people follow laws that contradict their own values?
• Why do we keep believing in systems that produce inequality, confusion, and loss of meaning?
• And how can we reclaim personal freedom and ethical responsibility in an age of blind obedience?

With precision and depth, Rubenstein dissects the hidden mechanics of modern society—from the illusion of political choice to the manipulation of religious authority, from the corruption of economic structures to the decay of educational truth. Drawing on history, philosophy, ethics, and spiritual insight, he challenges long-held assumptions and reveals the fragile foundations of the modern world.

This book is for you if you’ve ever asked:

• Why do governments claim moral authority while violating individual rights?
• Is modern democracy truly democratic—or a sophisticated form of oligarchy?
• How can a system call itself just while punishing the productive and rewarding dependence?
• Why is religion still used to control people instead of liberating them?
• What role does fear, media, and emotional manipulation play in shaping mass opinion?
• How can true freedom, peace, and prosperity be achieved—without illusions?

What you’ll discover inside this book:

• A detailed critique of modern politics, taxation, and bureaucracy
• Eye-opening insights into the abuse of religious and institutional power
• The historical roots of society’s current dysfunctions
• The hidden connections between media, fear, control, and obedience
• A vision for a new world order—built on awareness, ethics, freedom, and personal sovereignty

This is not a book for the complacent.

It is a wake-up call for those who see the cracks in the system and refuse to be silenced. It empowers readers to reclaim their inner compass in a world that glorifies external authority. Rubenstein calls not for revolution—but for transformation through moral clarity, spiritual maturity, and sovereign thinking.

Written in clear, engaging, and thoughtful language, this book invites both seekers and skeptics to re-evaluate the foundations of their lives—and to recognize that true change begins within. Only when we see through the illusions we serve can we begin to serve something greater: truth, justice, and human dignity.

A fearless and eye-opening wake-up call for those who sense that something is deeply wrong with modern society. This book empowers readers to reclaim their personal freedom, challenge manipulation, and rethink everything they’ve been taught to believe. If you value truth, ethics, and sovereignty, this book is for you. Don’t wait for change—be the change. Read now, reflect deeply, and rise above the illusion.

A sharp, urgent, and empowering book for those who dare to think for themselves. Break free from illusion, reclaim your voice, and see the world as it truly is.
