More on Truth and Freedom of Speech

Weeks ago, I wrote about unconventional weapons of food and truth. It stands to reason that if evil is willing to use these things, then perhaps it’s a good idea for those on the side of humanity to use them also.

Today I will focus on truth. My illustrator Bosch Fawstin once said that “if we act like free speech is over, then it will be.”

Therefore, let’s support free speech by freely saying things that we know to be true, even though said truth may be considered controversial. If this seems like a hard task, it’s because propaganda and our toxic culture has made it so, not because it’s something that shouldn’t be done.

For example, we are told that truth is what we feel. We are also told that there is “her truth” and “his truth” and “your neighbor’s truth,” etc. But in fact, there is only THE truth. Go where THE truth is and surround yourself with people who are searching for it. Then, you will find it easier to speak or write. You will draw strength from like-minded people and from knowing that you have an accurate understanding of reality.

You can also immerse yourself in prayer or meditations that bring you closer to God. I tell you no better advocate for truth exists than this Being. After all, lying is a sin against Him.

In your quest for the truth, it’s also important to limit your time in front of the TV and certain internet programs. You don’t have to do away with it completely but be very mindful of what you consume. While TV can be entertaining, it’s also a conduit the enemy uses for propaganda, and as I hinted above, it’s a big part of the reason why our culture is so toxic.

Instead of watching TV or shouting matches on the internet, explore more productive ways of spending your time such as working out, reading books, gardening, or learning another language. Pick a hobby that you enjoy, but also one that helps you become a better version of yourself.

Once you have learned how to a. identify and speak truth, and b. improve yourself, you will be ready to affect society in a way that makes the “elite” enemies of mankind tremble.

Viruses may be contagious, but bravery is even more so. Often, it only takes one person to say: “this isn’t right,” for change to happen. Take the story of The Emperor’s New Clothes. The crowd said the naked monarch was wearing something spectacular until a child pointed out the truth. Then, everyone else likewise declared him naked. Many times, it only takes one.

You could be that one.
