Viktor Schauberger Quote: The Truth About Civilized Humanity and Cultural Decline
"Despite its apparently high technical culture, ‘civilized humanity’ has reached such a low ethical level that it no longer realizes that such physical and moral decay is nothing other than the progressive decline of culture. For this reason, the sacred duty of people who are aware of the gravity of their mistakes is to constantly strive for the final correction of the consequences of mistakes."
Viktor Schauberger

Vernon Howard Quote – The Surprising Truth That Will Change Your Thinking!
"The truth , when it arrives is always different from what we thought it would be..if we imagine that we already know the truth, that imaginations based on old and habitual ideas. But the truth is always something entirely new to the mind; so we cannot possibly imagine it. Just as we cannot know what a new day is like before we experience it, we cannot think accurately about a new truth until we first live it. As we dare to drop our conditioned opinions, we make room for the truth..."

Michael Andrick on Fact-Checkers as Instruments of Censorship
"A fact-checking agency often serves as an instrument of censorship. The reason someone finances such an agency is to review and control certain press products and other media. The main motivation behind it is to instill in the public what is true or false, and to portray others' statements as questionable, obscure, or unreliable. This serves to morally polarize the political discourse by granting a seal of approval to some statements and not to others.
One can truly recognize these institutions as part of a repressive discourse environment only when one recognizes this moralism. The various methods by which political discussions are redirected into a negotiation about the truth, which one is now either allowed to acknowledge, or else one is a dissenter, a conspiracy theorist, a denier of something."
