THE TRUTH OR NOTHING LIKE THE TRUTH?

By -



Whilst reading Real Truth Magazine, a religeous based news commentary I was taken by something they printed recently.

"Around the globe, a daily tragedy is unfolding for the now 7.6 billion people living on Earth. World conditions are deteriorating significantly. With all of man’s creative ingenuity and intelligence, he cannot solve the most important problems—those that threaten his very existence. Educators have duped generations into believing the evolutionary lie. This has caused countless millions to believe mankind is continually evolving into a better and higher order of existence. Look around and you will see the fruits of this deception. Man is NOT evolving upward—he is DEGENERATING DOWNWARD, into ever new lows of indulgence, decadence and immorality.

Just one look at the daily news shows the depravity of the society around us. First think of the daily sex scandals toppling leading figures in the media, film industry, those in government and other swaths of American life. Then look at just a few headlines from recent days. Many, many more could have been included: “Smartphone Addiction Creates Imbalance in Brain”—“More than half of children obese by age 35…”—“Muslim population in Europe to triple by 2050…”—“University highlights 14 ways ‘whiteness’ oppresses society…”

Nothing can be understood or accomplished without proper KNOWLEDGE. Without right knowledge, man stands completely powerless—absolutely helpless—before his problems. Because man has rejected the SOURCE of right knowledge, all humanity is surrounded by, and engulfed by, terrible troubles."

Now I don't necessarily believe or follow their idea of "the SOURCE of right knowledge," but where do we turn to for real facts so we as reasonable people can use them to develop our own opinions? News Papers contain either someone else’s opinion or straight forward editorial mandate. The same applies to other media forms so where do we get facts from?
The fact checking agencies generally have been partly discredited, e.g. Snopes one of our leading fact checking organisations has employed at least one researcher who stood for political office in the USA. This information came from Forbes but do we trust them?
This Snopes type of indirect bias led me to a British organisation called Full Fact a registered charity and I took the liberty of including a link to them......but do we trust them?
HOW DO YOU VERIFY YOUR INFORMATION?

Daily Mail says Nigel Farage 'plotting Ukip comeback' in secret talks

By -
By Glen Owen Deputy Political Editor For The Mail On Sunday Nigel Farage has struck a secret deal with embattled Ukip leader Henry Bolton designed to pave the way for his return to frontline politics, party sources have claimed. Under the plan, Mr Bolton – who is refusing to resign over his relationship with glamour model Jo Marney – would rip up the party’s management structure before standing aside for Mr Farage to return. In return, Mr Bolton would be rewarded with a senior job by Mr Farage, who would then rebrand the party as a pro- hard- Brexit ‘movement’ – potentially with a new name. Talks: Embattled Ukip leader Henry Bolton, left, and former party chief Nigel Farage, right, in 2016 The plan, which sources say Mr Farage has confided to friends, would explain why Mr Bolton, 54, has stayed in his job despite a vote of no confidence being passed by Ukip’s ruling body last weekend and mass resignations by the p

Fact or Fiction

F ollowing my post on propaganda I thought this was a classic example of what I meant. When the Braveheart film came out it was reported/misreported that polls rightly or wrongly had indicated a swing of Scottish Nationalism to the SNP. The comment from Mr Hall and the slight correction from Mr Christian, courtesy of Quora says it all. Content from Philip Brian Hall and Ed Christian: "I can tell you what one English resident of Scotland thinks of Sir William Wallace, since I was inspired by the alleged biopic to write him the following letter: Dear William, Let me reassure you no historically-knowledgeable person ever took seriously your so-called biopic. We know that you did not wear a kilt, paint your face, shoot arrows, attack stockades or meet the Queen of England. In fact William, it was Sitting Bull, a more modern person than you, who did all of these (except wear a kilt.) Your name was not really Wallace either. It was le Walys. You were descended from a trave

Article from UKIP daily - why you should not vote for Tory/Labour or Lib Dem

Introduction The report on Tony Blair’s claim that productivity in the UK has fallen since Brexit hours before new data revealed productivity growth has, in fact, hit a six-year high is typical of the lies and deceit by the Europhiles. It was not long ago that Nick Clegg vehemently said during his televised debate with Nigel Farage, that the EU was forming an army was a dangerous fallacy. This was an outrageous lie to the British public, yet he is being “rewarded” with a knighthood! (I hope most sincerely millions more people will sign the petition demanding that that he not be knighted.) Conservative Communities Secretary Sajid Javid has claimed the proportion of household growth in England down to immigration is 37 per cent. But Migration Watch says that according to the Labour Force Survey by the Office for National Statistics, 1.65 million of the 2 million new households (82%) needing homes in England between 2000-2015 were headed by someone who was an immigrant.
