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

INDEPENDENT VOICES COMMITTED TO THE TRUTH

 


Cynthia McKinney / Denis Halliday

 

"Reporters will not report their own insights or contrary evaluations of the official 9/11 story, because to question the government story about 9/11 is to question the very foundations of our entire modern belief system regarding our government, our country, and our way of life. To be charged with questioning these foundations is far more serious than being labeled a disgruntled conspiracy nut or an anti-government traitor, or even being sidelined or marginalized within an academic, government-service, or literary career. To question the official 9/11 story is simply and fundamentally revolutionary."

9/11 and American Empire : Intellectuals Speak OutEdited by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott

 


Joseph Chung / F. William Fulbright

 

"The real underlying currency of our world is narrative, and the ability to control it. Everything always comes down to this one real currency. If you look at what all these think tanks, NGOs, media outlets and grant making networks that billionaires pour their money into actually do, it ultimately boils down to controlling the dominant stories that people tell about what's going on in their world."

Caitlin Johnstone

 


Michael Ruppert / Dr. Pascal Sacre / William Greider

 

"US corporate-owned media, in league with government agencies, orchestrate media coverage to demonize states in conflict with corporate plans."

Ralph McGehee, 1999

 


Mujahid Kamran / John Lennon

 

The news agencies are the most important suppliers of material to mass media. No daily media outlet can manage without them. So the news agencies influence our image of the world; above all, we get to know what they have selected."

Swiss Propaganda Research, 2019

 


Donald Monaco / Torsten Engelbrecht

 

"The Washington press corps has grown closer and closer to its sources. You find these relationships are so close that reporters don't challenge the subjects of their stories, they just tell you what the government is saying. In other words, they've become stenographers for power and not journalists."

David Barsamian

 


Rima Najjar / Gregory Elich / Robin Minotti

 

" The U.S. news media, including our most respected newspapers like the New York Times, turn a blind eye to U.S. violations of core international law, having no qualms about playing up the violations of adversaries. It would be nearly impossible for the coverage to be more unprincipled."

John Nichols and Robert W. McChesney in their book "Tragedy & Farce"

 

Dr. Boyd Haley / Julie Lavesque
