Help Fight the Enemies of Truth: Support the Spread of Knowledge!




Help Fight the Enemies of Truth: Support the Spread of Knowledge!


By Global Research



"The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie — deliberate, contrived and dishonest — but the myth — persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic." - JFK

"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge." - Stephen Hawking



For those whose understanding of the world is derived from what their governments and political leaders tell them to believe, and from the mainstream media which regurgitates the government's views and ideology, the world is left black and white, us vs. them, a simple myth to hold on to. For these people: the economic crisis is over and we are now in a "recovery"; the 'War on Terror' is an age-old battle between the forces of good and evil, retribution for the attacks of 9/11, and is designed to battle 'terrorism' in every corner of the world; the era of imperialism ended with World War II, and America is not an 'empire', but rather a bastion for freedom which spreads democracy around the world; the war against Libya was intended to save innocent lives out of 'humanitarian' concerns; we must accept the loss and restriction of our fundamental rights and liberties in order to protect us from terrorists; Barack Obama has brought 'change' and is a beacon of 'hope'; and the death of Osama bin Laden shows that the 'War on Terror' is working, and is worthy of going out in the streets to celebrate and cheer!

For these people... the world is based upon a pervasive, unyielding myth, building illusions for all to see and believe.

Here at Global Research, we strive to tear down these myths, expose the illusions, and reveal the magicians in the background. It is the focus and objective of Global Research to ask real questions, seek honest answers, and help the people take this knowledge to empower themselves to change the world for the better. Global Research is a small organization with few resources, and we would not exist were it not for our dedicated readers and supporters. We continue to need your support, so that we can continue to support the spread of knowledge in the battle against the enemies of truth. We are able to maintain our independence because our readers maintain their support for us. As long as we have you, you will have us. So help us spread the word, and allow us to increase our ability to be effective in these unprecedented times. Never has the need for independent voices ever been so necessary, and never has it been so challenging to remain independent.

Recently, Global Research initiated a fundraising campaign to assist journalists, researchers and contributors who have either lost their jobs with the mainstream media or who have been excluded from employment opportunities as professional journalists for their pledge to the truth. The response has been excellent and we send our thanks to all who have contributed! Now let’s keep the momentum going!

In order to honor our commitment to delivering independent news and analysis to the broader public, we must support and encourage journalists in their endeavours.

We know that you turn to Global Research for independent coverage of world events which is not coloured, created or manipulated by corporate, government or institutional stakeholders. Therefore, we ask you to support the writers who bring you the material you need in order to understand what's happening in the world around you.
