Truth is treason in an empire of lies

The title of this blog is a quote from former Congressman and presidential candidate, Ron Paul.

George Orwell said it similarly: "In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

The picture above contains a quote from Carl Sagan: “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

Are you seeking and living truth?
