The Stand Aloners

To contradict accepted beliefs or official propaganda is to stand alone, totalitarianism goes after the thinkers, intellectuals and journalists first. It is estimated that 300 journalists in Russia have been murdered or they have disappeared since the early 1990s. SEE HERE

Truth has few friends in a world of state-sponsored gangsters. The child that pointed out that the emperor had no clothes, probably got slung in jail and they tortured his teddy bear and shipped him to Guantanamo Bay.

It takes bravery to stand for truth and then to remain silent condemns you spiritually, because you are colluding with evil, tacitly condoning it.

If you embrace the truth you will never really walk alone as the Gods are behind you, but in the real world you may face antagonism and hate. All my working life I’ve faced closed doors and icy glares, but I’ve found a warmth with my readers, who have kept me going by word of mouth. In the end the word of mouth became vast. The open door offers an icy chill that I don’t need.

With the advent of the Internet, the state control of information was lost. The truth is everywhere now, hundreds of millions of pages of it. It’s refreshing, for while truth is a needle in the eye of tyrants, it may not ever bring them down. Other forces will come. Stuart Wilde www.stuartwilde.com
