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

Jeremy Hammond / Alastair Crooke

"If deliberate distortion of reality by corporate media could be effectively prosecuted in the United States, the entire industry would be behind bars."

Cynthia McKinney, 2007

Edward Slavsquat / Sarah Flounders / Gary D. Barnett

"The American print and TV media has never been very good. These days it is horrible. If a person intends to be informed, he must turn to foreign news broadcasts, to Internet sites, to foreign newspapers available on the Internet, or to alternative newspapers that are springing up in various cities."

Paul Craig Roberts

Gary Gerstle / Gordon Duff / Nick Davies

"Most journalists and media stars, instinctively side with power - the government and large corporations - and against those who are marginalized. "

Glenn Greenwald, 2011

Daniel McAdams / Demitri Lascaris / Peter Joseph

"It has become impossible for most citizens to find out what is happening in the centers of power. Television news celebrities dutifully present two opposing sides to every issue, although each side is usually lying.
The viewer can believe whatever he or she wants to believe. Nothing is actually elucidated or explained. The sound bites by Republicans or Democrats are accepted at face value. And once the television lights are turned off, the politicians go back to the business of serving business."

Chris Hedges , 2011

Joe Emersberger / Jeff Brown / Mikla Freeman / Felicity Arbuthnot

"Google has been a partner with the CIA since 2004."

Jim Edwards, 2011

Mohamed Elmaazi / Lucas de Almeida / James Douglas / Stanley Monteith

"I've been a journalist for about 25 years, and I was educated to lie, to betray, and not to tell the truth to the public."

Udo Ulfkotte, formerly of the Frankfurter Algemeine Zeitung

"If the media is the crucial force empowering the opposition, then it should be regarded as a primary target of any political strategy. So long as the media remains strong, success may be difficult, but if the influence and credibility of the media were substantially degraded, then the ordinary opposing forces would lose much of their effectiveness. In many respects, the media creates reality, so perhaps the most effective route toward changing reality runs through the media."

Ron Unz

"The deep state is working hand in hand with Silicon Valley social media giants like Twitter, Facebook and Google to control the flow of information. That includes suppressing, censoring and sometimes outright purging dissenting voices - all under the guise of fighting fake news."

Daniel McAdams
