Is Your Mind Worth Fighting For?

Propaganda kills, maims children, blow up homes and works to destroy countless millennia of human progress and evolution.

Are we no more than laboratory rats programmed to behave according to a script written by those who see us as no more than consumers.

Are we no more than slaves to our own desire for safety and comfort?

Is YOUR SANITY worth fighting for?

I will not tell you that we can stop a war, I will not tell you that we can end suffering, I will tell you that your contribution to Information Clearing House will ensure that tomorrow and the weeks following their will exist a place where sanity, common sense and a respect for all of humanity ensures that lies do not stand and that liars do not prosper.

"An unconscious people, an indoctrinated people, a people fed only partisan information and opinion that confirm their own bias, a people made morbidly obese in mind and spirit by the junk food of propaganda, is less inclined to put up a fight, ask questions and be skeptical. That kind of orthodoxy can kill a democracy - or worse." - Bill Moyers


"If those who support aggressive war had seen a fraction of what I've seen, if they'd watched children fry to death from Napalm and bleed to death from a cluster bomb, they might not utter the claptrap they do".  - John Pilger
