TRUTH-TELLERS
"Many people,
especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the
truth, for being correct.
Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of
your time.
If you're right and you know it, speak your mind.
Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth."
Mahatma Gandhi
WHERE SHOULD WE GET
OUR INFORMATION?
Without the popular media, we would
have little awareness of what goes on beyond our personal experience.
The media - the mainstream / corporate / establishment media -
provide us with our understanding of the world.
But, what if the media's goal is not to inform us, but to misdirect
us?
What if they do this by manufacturing false narratives that reflect
the views of established power, and serve the agendas of a global
oligarchy, offering endless streams of propaganda, disinformation
and lies, misinforming us and preventing us from understanding
how the world really works?
What if media celebrities, pundits, news presenters, journalists,
producers and editors, are not interested in telling us the truth?
What if they are purposely misrepresenting the facts and leaving
out critical information about issues and events?
What if they are just uninformed themselves or have been socialized
to publish information that they know their bosses and owners
want, while avoiding subjects and news content they know will
hurt their careers?
What if as a result, they lie to us, every day, all of the time?
What if the narrative that the oligarchy constructs through their
control of most major media institutions worldwide is false, and
has as its goal, not to give us the information we need to participate
in democratic government and understand the world, but to misinform
us in order to maintain their power and the power of western financial,
corporate, dynastic and political elites - to preserve the status
quo - in order to ensure the continued hegemony of the oligarchy?
If this is the reality, what should we do? If we want the truth,
where do we go to get it?
This is the challenge I have faced over the past 25 years. My
solution has been to seek out alternative voices, courageous men
and women who pay a price for their truthfulness - who never get
the big book advances, who never get the choice news assignments,
who never climb the advancement ladder at the mainstream media
corporations, who never earn the big salaries, who never achieve
celebrity status. Instead, for challenging establishment narratives,
debunking lies, and pursuing truth, they are marginalized, and
we never read, hear or see them. And sometimes they even lose
their freedom for trying to tell us the truth.
On these pages I have gathered many of the truth-tellers I have
learned from and come to respect. There are many others I do not
know about. If you are interested in the truth, seek them out.
Learn from them. And, in doing so, you will start to challenge
the false narratives we are propagandized with everywhere, every
day, and you will begin to understand how the world really works.
"WE'LL KNOW OUR
DISINFORMATION PROGRAM IS COMPLETE
WHEN EVERYTHING THE AMERICAN PUBLIC BELIEVES IS FALSE."
William Casey, Ronald
Reagan's CIA Director, 1981
WE
MUST REJECT THE CORRUPT MAINSTREAM CORPORATE MEDIA,
AND SEEK INDEPENDENT VOICES COMMITTED TO THE TRUTH.

of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
