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

COMMITTED TO THE TRUTH
Charlie Robinson / Alison Weir
"No country in the world
has a press that's more dishonest than the United States of America
does. Only people who possess a thoroughly scientific orientation
toward confirming and disconfirming allegations, are capable of
extracting from such 'news' a realistic understanding of what's
actually happening. The vast majority of people can be fooled,
and they can be fooled constantly and even for decades, and yet
still trust the institutions that have deceived them so mercilessly
through all of those decades."

"If people are told the
truth, they will reason to the right conclusions - unless they
are stupid or ignorant."
George Orwell in his essay "Politics
and the English Language"
Marc Vandepitte / Paul Atwood / Shlomo Sand / Cindy Sheehan
"Google and Facebook are
not independent actors. They form part of the cross-owned media
conglomerates eventually controlled by the 0.01% oligarchs. These
tech corporations have admitted that they engage in mass censorship
by demoting content from media that challenge the globalist hegemony.
... These two tech giants correspondingly run enormous and continuous
propaganda campaigns to promote the globalist agenda. This is
achieved by promoting people, groups and sources which propagate
the agenda."
Jon Hellevig, 2019

"The central role of news
agencies explains why, in geopolitical conflicts, most media use
the same original sources."

"There is a system in place
which ensures that all the reporters in positions of influence
are there not to report factually on the news of the day, but
to sell a particular narrative that is friendly to the state and
the status quo."
Caitlin Johnstone, 2018

"If the print media had
columnists of intelligence and integrity explaining events, instead
of propagandists for government and interest groups, the United
States would not have wasted eight years in pointless, illegal,
and immoral wars of aggression that have been financed by foreign
loans, thus sapping the strength of the dollar and American power."
Paul Craig Roberts, 2008
"The American media seems
to view a WikiLeaks' truth-telling mechanism and government whistleblowers
as trying to upset their easy job of transcribing leaders' press
releases."
Coleen Rowley, retired FBI Agent
"The establishment media
may be regarded as a great wall that excludes alternative perspectives
from the public consciousness and thereby confines opinion to
within a narrow range of acceptable views."
