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

"During times of universal
deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
George Orwell

"There is no reason to
consider the United States' corporate and commercial media as
any more "mainstream" than the leading Soviet media
organs were back in their day. They are just as dedicated as the
onetime Soviet state media to advancing the doctrinal perspectives
of their host nation's reigning elite-and far more effective."

"The news organizations
have become a tool of the establishment rather than a check on
their power. The only option left is for either whistleblowers
to come forward or citizen journalists to investigate on their
own time and dime."

"As in Soviet times, any
view at odds with Washington's "party line" is simply
disappeared. When independent media outlets begin gaining traction
and challenging the narrative, they are "de-platformed"
on social media and even from their Internet service providers."

"You can either be informed
and be your own rulers, or you can be ignorant and have someone
else, who is not ignorant, rule over you."

"For the western media,
our leaders make mistakes, they are naïve or even stupid,
but they are never bad or evil."
Jonathan Cook, 2011
"The process of media infiltration
by the state and covert oversight by the Central Intelligence
Agency transpired post WW2 throughout the USA.
The overt phase of Operation Mockingbird, as it's known in intelligence
circles, officially began in the early 1950s.
The only way for the average citizen to really apprehend the true
breadth and depth of this clandestine overthrow of American media
is to understand this highly organized conspiracy that was hatched
between the titans of Corporate Media, key officials within the
U.S. Federal Government and strategically placed leaders within
civil society. Once the deal was done by these Operation Mockingbird
co-conspirators, America has never seen a free press since."

"The free press Americans
have today is online and in the alternative media."
