The US Now Classified as an Endemic Surveillance Society

In a recently release report, Privacy International ranks the United States of America as an Endemic Surveillance Society. This happens to be the highest ranking as well as the same ranking as Communist China, Russia, Thailand, Singapore and a few others. The following is an excerpt from their findings on surveillance in the US.

• No right to privacy in constitution, though search and seizure protections exist in 4th Amendment; case law on government searches has considered new technology
• No comprehensive privacy law, many sectoral laws; though tort of privacy
• FTC continues to give inadequate attention to privacy issues, though issued self-regulating privacy guidelines on advertising in 2007
• State-level data breach legislation has proven to be useful in identifying faults in security
• REAL-ID and biometric identification programs continue to spread without adequate oversight, research, and funding structures
• Extensive data-sharing programs across federal government and with private sector
• Spreading use of CCTV
• Congress approved presidential program of spying on foreign communications over U.S. networks, e.g. Gmail, Hotmail, etc.; and now considering immunity for telephone companies, while government claims secrecy, thus barring any legal action
• No data retention law as yet, but equally no data protection law
• World leading in border surveillance, mandating trans-border data flows
• Weak protections of financial and medical privacy; plans spread for 'rings of steel' around cities to monitor movements of individuals
• Democratic safeguards tend to be strong but new Congress and political dynamics show that immigration and terrorism continue to leave politicians scared and without principle
• Lack of action on data breach legislation on the federal level while REAL-ID is still compelled upon states has shown that states can make informed decisions
• Recent news regarding FBI biometric database raises particular concerns as this could lead to the largest database of biometrics around the world that is not protected by strong privacy law

The Federal Reserve, the CFR, the Mainstream Media and How It Affects You.

A three part video series narrated by author G.Edward Griffin (who endorses Ron Paul for president) that goes into detail about the Council on Foreign Relations, the Federal Reserve and their relationship together as well as their stranglehold on nearly every single media outlet.

Get Your Head Out of the Sand the North American Union is Real!

I'll be honest it thoroughly pisses me off to hear people refer to the merging of Canada the US and Mexico into one centralized body as a far out conspiracy. It seems like daily you here some CFR tool or some uninformed pawn act like people such as Ron Paul are kooks for believing we are taking massive steps toward losing our national sovereignty. It's amazing to me that even though the information is readily available people still choose not to seek the truth. Here are several videos as well as links that prove my point and I encourage you to share them with as many people as you can, your freedom and our very country are at stake.

Did We Land on the Moon?

If you have ever wondered whether or not the moon landing was staged than you will thoroughly enjoy this video. Even if you are totally sure we did land on the moon and believe it is anti American to think otherwise I encourage you to watch this film and decide for yourself.

America: Freedom To Fascism

This is a fantastic video directed by Aaron Russo. It discusses the Federal Reserve, Income tax, NWO etc. It is professionally done and although rather long I promise you it is worth your time.

The Rockefellers (Part 1)

The Rockefellers are without a doubt one of Americas most wealthy and influential families. Below is an excerpt from the History Channel and somewhat of a primer to give you some background as to just how powerful the Rockefellers are. and the second is an interview with Aaron Russo (entertainment businessman, film maker, and political activist).

Ron Paul's Answer to the "Conspiracy" of the North American Union

I'm sure many people wonder why on nearly every internet forum there seems to be a plethora of Ron Paul supporters. They probably come off as tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists sometimes but I believe this is with good reason. If you have never researched the CFR, NAU, Bilderberg group, trilateral commission etc. you would think these Dr. Paul supporters are indeed crazy. I can assure you however that this is not true and there is real cause for alarm. Ron Paul is the only voice I have heard at a national level speaking out so loudly against the institutions that threaten our national sovereignty. It is time to wake up and realize that the plans to create a NAFTA superhighway, and eventually a North American Union aren't ramblings from lunatics but are all to real. It is time to take a stand and vote for someone that speaks the truth for a change.

**Edit** Randy brought this to my attention Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America which ties in well to this article which was put about by the CFR Building a North American Community for any of you who would still consider this to be a conspiracy.

Ron Paul's Momentum

The most common thing I hear from people who don't have their ear close to the ground pertaining political matters is that Ron Paul would get their vote but he just doesn't have a chance so it would be like throwing their vote away. This video I think will prove to you otherwise.

CFR, the NAU and the 2008 Elections

Mike Huckabee's Son Admits to Brutally Killing a Dog

Here is a bizarre and sick story that was just brought to my attention. Mike Huckabee's son brutally killed a dog by hanging it up slitting it's throat and stoning it to death. Now as horrific a picture as that is, it was Huckabee's son and not him. If that had been the whole story I might have been able to let Huckabee slide, however that isn't the whole story. Here is an excerpt from Newsweek

"John Bailey, then the director of Arkansas's state police, tells NEWSWEEK that Governor Huckabee's chief of staff and personal lawyer both leaned on him to write a letter officially denying the local prosecutor's request. Bailey, a career officer who had been appointed chief by Huckabee's Democratic predecessor, said he viewed the lawyer's intervention as improper and terminated the conversation. Seven months later, he was called into Huckabee's office and fired. "I've lost confidence in your ability to do your job," Bailey says Huckabee told him. One reason Huckabee cited was "I couldn't get you to help me with my son when I had that problem," according to Bailey. "Without question, [Huckabee] was making a conscious attempt to keep the state police from investigating his son," says I. C. Smith, the former FBI chief in Little Rock, who worked closely with Bailey and called him a "courageous" and "very solid" professional."

I do find it ironic that I write about Huckabee then this gold mine lands in my lap the next day. It just goes to show that Huckabee really is a typical politician prick and not some great Christian man. None of the current political lineup with the exception of Dr. Paul can stand up to any investigation into their past. Here are the links for anyone who cares to learn the truth about Mike Huckabee.

Mitt Romney the Flip Flopper

Quite interesting to see how Willard "Baseball Glove" Romney felt about issues such as abortion gay rights and affirmative action back in '94. Please share this video to anyone you know who is considering voting for this flip flopping neo con.

How Mike Huckabee Lures the Christians

I hear a decent amount of good Christian people clamoring for Huckabee these days. They say he supports Christian values and will stand up to the evil hordes. However please go back with me and remember when George Bush gave us this same line of bull. He pandered to the Christian Conservatives got elected then claimed that all religions worship the same God.

Huckabee runs a smooth line, I'll give him that, he's a politician through and through. He says the right things that get you thinking man this guy is great, to bad it is only words from another one out of the machine. I stumbled upon this website exposing the truth of this liberal in disguise and I hope everyone spreads the truth to friends and family.

Starting Midnight Tonight History Will Be Made Again!

This is it just 7 hours left until the biggest mass donation of Dr. Ron Paul's presidential run. The media still skips over Dr. Paul as if he isn't a serious contender. I say to hell with the CFR controlled media, to hell with the Federal Reserve run by foreign bankers, and I say to hell with our personal freedoms being taken away month by month. Dr. Ron Paul is real change, a truly revolutionary candidate that is going to do what few presidents have ever done before him FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION! I urge everyone to donate starting a midnight tonight, but don't just blindly give actually do the research and see that there is good reason why there is so much buzz about Dr. Paul all over the internet. Let's keep this REVOLUTION rolling!

The Truth About Scientology (Part 2)

The first thing most people think of when they hear the word Scientology is probably Tom Cruise or John Travolta. I doubt you recognize the names Lisa Mcpherson or Josephus Havenith but after this video you will remember them for a lifetime. These are several of the names this cult wishes you had never heard.

The Truth About Scientology (Part 1)

Scientology bothers me on many levels, one being obviously the negative mental effects it has on it's followers. The other big one for me is the fact that people take Christianity to be suck a fringe religion which is so outlandish yet Scientologists believe in aliens and being able to kill people with a thought are so hip, cool, rational and enlightened (Travolta, Cruise etc). I am going to embark on a series of videos and quite possibly essays as I journey into the truth behind this strange sick cult.

The first video is somewhat of a primer, a brief delve into a London branch of the cult via hidden cameras. It is well put together but made over 10 years ago so the quality is somewhat sub par by todays standards.

North American Union

For those that think the talk of a North American Union and Amero are to far fetched I urge you to watch the video in the post below and get a taste of how powerful the CFR really is then read this report they put out entitled "Building a North American Community"

Behind the Big News Propoganda and the CFR

The Council on Foreign Relations is one of the most powerful organizations in the world. Before you dismiss such a statement as ramblings from a conspiracy theorist I believe this quote from one of the founders of the CFR sums it up well.

"For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents ... to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

- David Rockefeller, "Memoirs" autobiography (2002, Random House publishers), page 405

This video is roughly an hour long and I assure you that you will find it very educational and eye opening.

ILLEGAL Immigrants

The keyword of course being ILLEGAL, not undocumented workers or whatever type of BS spin the media wants to put on it but ILLEGAL. This is a helluva video that I hope puts things in perspective on the immigration issue.

Global Warming/Climate Change

There are few things you hear more about these days than global warming. It seems like every company is doing their own research on how to become more "green". "Global Warming" however is just a big deception. Sure the world has heated up by 1 degree over the last hundred years but there is no proof that it is due to man's intervention.

Your guess is as good as mine as the motives behind the people cramming this bunk down your throat. Somewhat of a "conspiracy theorist" myself some things that pop into my mind are, that it is people who want to limit developing countries and hurt capitalism, people who want to unite the people of the world to fight a common enemy in order for us to swallow the North American Union, Amero, NWO bs, or people who just simply want to make big bucks through fear mongering and loads of "research". It could be a combination of all these or none of them I suppose but there motives definitely aren't clear.

Believe it or not there is a wealth of information about the fallacies of "global warming" online, however that is completely different than what ANY mainstream news outlet would lead you to believe. Here is a link that I hope you find very informative in your quest for the truth. Global Warming is a Farce

Our House of Cards

I never want to come off as a fear mongerer, but I do whole heartedly believe that we are on the brink of some serious problems in this country and the world for that matter, the likes of which we have never seen.

Fuel for the Conpiracy Theorists Fire

Here are a few quotes I hope everyone finds enlightening. You will surely never find any of these in the Mainstream Media (MSM). Here are a few samples

"A financial element in the large centers has owned the government since the days of Andrew Jackson." - Franklin Roosevelt

"The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists." - J Edgar Hoover

"By the time you become the leader of a country, someone else makes all the decisions. You may find you can get away with Virtual Presidents, Virtual Prime Ministers, and Virtual Everything." - Bill Clinton

"The real rulers of Washington are Invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes." - Justice Felix Frankfurter - US Supreme Court Justice

"Today America would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all people of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by the World Government." - Henry Kissinger 1991 Bilderberg Conference.

"We are on the verge of a Global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order." - David Rockefeller

How Mitt Romney Wins Straw Polls

In my quest to bring you the truth I think it's my duty to present everyone with a video that came across my gmail.

This bothers me on several levels, one being that Ron Paul supporters are always made out to be a swarm of people who vote several times on all these online polls, when the majority of them you are only able to vote once per IP address or phone number. I believe Dr. Paul has some hard times ahead. It's never easy when the democrats are scared to death of you, the republicans are scared to death of you, the Federal Reserve is scared to death of you, and the media is scared to death of you. You never get a fair shake and there is a multitude of powerful people in the groups mentioned. No matter how it goes down though the good Dr. can count my vote even if he doesn't win the primary he will be my write in, in big capital letters RON PAUL.

Tea Party 07

"On December 16th, 1773, American colonists dumped tea into the Boston Harbor to protest an oppressive tax. This December 16th, American citizens will dump millions of dollars into the Ron Paul presidential campaign to protest the oppressive and unconstitutional inflation tax - which has enabled a flawed foreign policy, a costly war and the sacrificingof our liberties here at home."

Tea Party 07

The Greatest Tragedy of the 20th Century

Upon reading the title of this post I imagine some of you are thinking WWI or Vietnam etc, but I would venture to say the vast majority of you are thinking the holocaust. This doesn't surprise me of course because I not so long ago would've probably said the same thing. Growing up in government schools today it's kind of hard not to because they beat it into your brain at every available opportunity.

The vast majority of my peers would tell you that WWII was fought primarily to rescue the Jews from concentration camps. This has always bothered me because it's the same crowd that says the War of Northern Aggression (Civil War) was fought over slavery. Aside from being absurd this is also sad and dangerous how mislead our children are.

It is impossible for me to say how bad the holocaust actually was. I wasn't there nor was anyone I know and furthermore every book written on the subject is by a Jew, or Gentile but based on the finding of Jews. It is the equivalent of a Colts fan writing every article in every paper and magazine about last years Super Bowl, clearly upon reading it you would think that it was the greatest Super Bowl ever yet how can you know for sure when everything is written by such a biased source?

I don't deny that the holocaust happened. I do question it's severity however. There are too many inconsistencies and the minds of people today automatically shutdown whenever they hear or read anything about the holocaust. I don't believe it is right either to put people in jail today as they have multiple times for just questioning aspects of the holocaust. To me that is far to 1984 for my tastes. The sign that hung over Auschwitz originally claimed that 4 million died there then about 20 years ago it was changed to 1.5 million. My question is how if that is the case can you still have a figure of 6 million total in the holocaust?


The purpose of this post originally was not to confirm or deny aspects of the holocaust but to open peoples eyes to what can only rationally be called the Greatest Tragedy of the 20th Century. That is the onslaught of millions at the hands of Jewish communists. Communism to date is the most vicious and deadly ideology the world has ever seen. It is estimated by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation that roughly 100 million people have been murdered since the creation and under the banner of communism. In light of this regardless if it's 6 million or 3 million that died in the holocaust it pales in comparison to 100 million over the past 80 years. This is the root cause of my anger towards the outpouring of sympathy towards the holocaust. All I crave is justice, I have always wanted things to be fair. I don't believe it is fair that the holocaust gets so much attention in school when over 20x the number died at the hands of the Jews and its a near blackout.

I will leave the research side of it to you. There is a plethora of information out there on the holocaust and a decent amount on the crimes committed by the communists. My hope is that you found this post informative and eye opening, as was it's intent.

Ron Paul Quote of the Day

"Mr. Speaker, I once again find myself compelled to vote against the annual budget resolution for a very simple reason: it makes government bigger. [...] We need to understand that the more government spends, the more freedom is lost. Instead of simply debating spending levels, we ought to be debating whether the departments, agencies, and programs funded by the budget should exist at all. My Republican colleagues especially ought to know this. Unfortunately, however, the GOP has decided to abandon principle and pander to the entitlements crowd. But this approach will backfire, because Democrats will always offer to spend even more than Republicans. When Republicans offer to spend $500 billion on Medicare, Democrats will offer $600 billion. Why not? It’s all funny money anyway, and it helps them get reelected. [...] The increases in domestic, foreign, and military spending would not be needed if Congress stopped trying to build an empire abroad and a nanny state at home." - Dr Ron Paul

Ron Paul Quote of the Day

"Capitalism should not be condemned, since we haven’t had capitalism. A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank. It’s not capitalism when the system is plagued with incomprehensible rules regarding mergers, acquisitions, and stock sales, along with wage controls, price controls, protectionism, corporate subsidies, international management of trade, complex and punishing corporate taxes, privileged government contracts to the military-industrial complex, and a foreign policy controlled by corporate interests and overseas investments. Add to this centralized federal mismanagement of farming, education, medicine, insurance, banking and welfare. This is not capitalism!" - Dr. Ron Paul

Dr. Ron Paul

The first time I read anything about Ron Paul, was on wikipedia. They had an over view of the Presidential Candidates for '08 and I was searching for one to endorse. As you can easily tell by this site I am a proud American. I like many of you have become angry with the neo cons who have hijacked the GOP and are now as liberal as any democrat from say 10 years ago. I was searching for a candidate whose views were those of the founding fathers. I have admired the Founders my entire life for their bravery and foresight. They were great men who risked everything they owned as well as their lives and their families lives on just a chance to be free. That is something that has always amazed me.

The more I read of Ron Paul the more passionate I became for his message. Here is a candidate in 2007 many years after the Revolutionary War that speaks as though he is from 1776. I am not prone to believe in reincarnation but he is as close to the founding fathers as anyone I have read about from the past 100 years.

What attracts me to Ron Paul almost as much as his message of freedom from government oppression is the fact that you can tell he genuinely believes it to. He isn't in the pocket of some foreign country or wealthy bankers nor is he a tool of the CFR. Lately I had become so disillusioned with the entire political process in America. This quote by Carol Quigley who did extensive research on the Council on Foreign Relations I believe sums it up best. This is the CFR's goal for America and today as in 2000 or 2004 you can so clearly see it to be true.

"The chief problem of American political life for a long time has been how to make the two Congressional parties more national and international. The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead the two parties should be almost identical, so the that American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy." - Carol Quigley

Now if that doesn't sum up the current situation and scare you to death I don't know what will. After reading something like that Dr. Ron Paul is an absolute breath of fresh air. He speaks with conviction and lack of any ulterior motives. I encourage everyone to follow the links below as well as search google and youtube to learn more about this candidate. For the first time I look forward to voting for one hell of a man and not the lesser of two evils. If Ron Paul fails to win this election I will be very troubled but it is still encouraging to know there are still men in office like Dr. Ron Paul.

Quote of the Day

"Civilization has affected us. We abhor personal encounter. Many a man will risk his life, with an easy mind, in a burning house who would recoil from having his nose punched. We have been taught restraint from our emotions, to look upon anger as low, until many of us have never experienced the God sent ecstasy of unbridled wrath. We have never felt our eyes screw up, our temples throb, and have never had the red mist gather in our sight. But, we expect that a man shall, in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, divest himself of all restraint, of all caution, and hurl himself upon the enemy, a frenzied beast, lusting to probe his enemy's guts with three feet of steel or to shatter his brain with a bullet. Gentlemen, it cannot be done without mental practice. Therefore, you must school yourselves to savagery. You must imagine how it will feel when your sword hilt crashes into the breastbone of your enemy. You must picture the wild exaltation of the mounted charge when the lips are drawn back into a snarl and the voice cracks with a passion. At one time, you must be both a wise man and a fool." - General George Smith Patton Jr.

Quote of the Day

"In this world him who does not abandon himself the Almighty will not desert.  Him who helps himself will the Almighty always also help; He will show him the way by which he can gain his rights, his freedom, and therefore his future."




-Adolf Hitler, in a speech at Hamburg on 20 March 1936

The Unabashed Truth

Some may find it hard to believe that a relatively short time ago Senators in our country made statements like what you are about to read. If comments such as these were made today by anyone in the public eye they would most likely be burned at the nearest stake or shot via firing squad. Sadly the people who make these statements above a whisper nowadays without fail promptly apologize on every TV and radio show for the next month, take diversity classes, and make huge donations to black organizations. So without further ado..............

"If our buildings, our highways, and our railroads should be wrecked, we could rebuild them. If our cities should be destroyed, out of the very ruins we could erect newer and greater ones. Even if our armed might should be crushed, we could rear sons who would redeem our power. But if the blood of our White race should become corrupted and mingled with the blood of Africa, then the present greatness of the United States of America would be destroyed and all hope for civilization would be as impossible for a Negroid America as would be redemption and restoration of the Whiteman's blood which had been mixed with that of the Negro."
(Senator Theodore G. Bilbo, of Mississippi in 1947)

This quote is found on a link I will give at the end of this article that contains 100 facts about the black race. I'm sure at this point many of the words floating around in some of your heads right now are "racist" "bigot" "white supremacist" etc. I challenge you however to keep an open mind while you read through them. I implore you to find anything in the 100 that isn't a fact. Every fact is backed up with one or more sources that you can find on the bottom of the page. Here are several examples.

FACT #33: Though only 12% of the U.S. population, Blacks commit more than half of all rapes and robberies and 60% of all murders in the U.S.
FACT #34: Approximately 50% of all Black males will be arrested and charged with a serious felony during their lifetime.
FACT #35: A Black person is 56 TIMES more likely to attack a White person than Vice Versa.
FACT #36: Black rapists choose White victims over half (54.9%) of the time, 30X as often as Whites choose Blacks.
FACT #42: More than 66% of the children of Negroes are born out of wedlock. Per capita, their illegitimacy rate is ten times that of Whites.

As you can see this isn't something you will find many other places. Just remember the Truth will always stand up to any test, and there is no shame in being right.

The Facts

The War of Northern Aggression (Civil War)

I'm sure nearly every one of you grew up learning about the "Civil War" in public school. You learned that it was fought over slavery and that the Confederacy wanted to keep slavery and the Union who was full of good hearted abolitionists wanted to end this horrible practice. This couldn't be further from the truth.

I'm sure a good number of you know that the Union also had slaves and it was far from an exclusive Southern practice. I'm sure you know too that the vast majority of citizens on both sides of the war never owned a single slave. Slavery would have gone the way of the horse and buggy given time and everyone knew it. Why would you keep 20 slaves and their families, feed them, clothe them, pay for their medical expenses when you can upgrade to modern industrial farm equipment? The Industrial Revolution changed the world forever and given time would've made slavery impractical.

Everyone hails Lincoln for freeing the slaves with his Emancipation Proclamation, however this only freed slaves in the Southern states over which he had zero control as they were another country. It was done for two reason, one as a PR push and the second to cripple the Confederacy economically. Had Lincoln had genuine concern for the enslaved he would've and could've easily freed slaves in all states but he did not.

The second main point I would like to convey is that this "Civil War" wasn't a Civil War. A Civil War is 2 factions fighting to take over one country. This was two separate countries fighting because the Union didn't want to lose the tax dollars if the South seceded. The South wanted nothing more than to be let alone and have fair taxation just like any of the Northern states. They wanted to trade freely with Europe and not have high tariffs put on the goods by our government.

It is incredibly ironic the similarities between the "Civil War" and the Revolutionary War. As I see them they are as follows.

1. We didn't want a war in either case.
2. The North and England taxed our goods unfairly.
3. The North and England attacked because they didn't want to lose the tax revenue.
4. The reason for secession in both cases was freedom from oppression.

I think these are major similarities that link the South to Early America. Yet when you learn about the Revolutionary War in school it is always England who is the bad guy (and rightly so) yet the nearly identical (ideologically) war that happened not even 100 years later it is the North/England who is the hero. People always talk about this War of Northern Aggresion being so sad as it was "brother vs. brother" yet they never delve deeper as to why it actually started. Over 620,000 people died in the war and it could've been so easily avoided had the Union just left us alone.

The Federal Reserve

The Federal Reserve is an extremely powerful banking cartel that controls our countries money supply. It has been in power since 1913 and is tightly shielded from scrutiny of any kind by the press. Some consider it the biggest problem facing our nation today. It's very name implies that it is a Federal (government) agency which it is not, it is run by private European bankers and was established under the most secret of conditions. Since it's inception there have been some that have openly opposed it but non so far have been able to come close to stopping it. I consider the following links to be of the utmost importance.

Martin Luther King

In today's society few people, if any are held in higher regard than Martin Luther King. Only two human beings are honored with their own National Holiday, Jesus Christ and you guessed it Martin Luther King. Washington and Lincoln don't have their own day anymore, and Columbus although lucky enough to have his own day it isn't considered a big enough day for the schools to be adjourned.

His womanizing and communists beliefs are no secret yet they may as well be because of the media blackout on the subject. What needs to be understood is although communism in our time is one thing during the "civil rights movement" it was the height of the cold war and Vietnam and who were we fighting? Communists. It was the most traitorous un American stance that could've been taken and he did it with pride. I urge my readers to follow the link and delve into the well documented facts, and let the truth speak for itself.
