{Quick Reflections 29} Glaring Truth

http://glaringtruth.blogspot.com/

Most people are stereotyped in their thoughts and ideas and tend to believe what they know only. Any new information that contradicts their common belief even if true is often shunned away as it is easier for the mind and ego not to disturb itself with contradictory information.

What if the mind and ego start to question the validity of their beliefs discovering that they could be mistaken and that they would look foolish if they continue to think the same way they used to, then that mind and that ego will be convinced easier with the truth.

Imagine the following scenario; evil antibodies killing innocent bacteria inside a blood stream of a human body and a reporter commenting on those evil antibodies without the mention that these are antibodies and those are bacteria. The viewer is convinced that the antibodies are evil and the bacteria are good according to the reporter without knowing the true nature of each and why is this going on.

The above scenario is an example of how an event could be reported in such a way that would give an impression that is completely opposite to the truth. It is an example of what is going on everyday in our world due to the effect of the biased media which conveys a distorted and incomplete image of the truth; the truth about the events happening all around the world, the truth about why there is a certain conflict, the truth about why certain people are behaving in a certain way, the truth about who is the true aggressor and who is innocent, and the truth about who is defending himself and who is evil.

How about if the above reporting of the scenario is amended such that a zoom out is made showing the nature of these objects and what is really going on and who is who and why; a report which says that actually the antibodies are defending the human body against the harmful and aggressive bacteria that are attacking it.

The events that have been going on for more than half a century in the Middle East and especially in Palestine, the rising misunderstanding between different peoples of the world with a resultant widening of gaps, and the most tragic events in Lebanon and how the aggressor was displayed as the victim and the defender displayed as a terrorist, have all contributed to establishing the Glaring Truth group.

The Glaring Truth group is an ongoing effort that aims at revealing the truth to the whole world regarding the political, historical, social, geographical and humanitarian aspects of the Middle East. We aim at dramatically convincing the stereotyped mind and ego that it could be mistaken by trying to present to the audience worldwide the full true picture.



Glaring Truth is an initiative started by a group of people from different backgrounds, religions and cultures with one common goal in mind – to allow the light of truth to reach out to you. It is not politically-affiliated in any way and does not, in any way, promote or affiliate itself to any particular organization. It aims to reveal the truth of current and past events amidst the biased, clichéd and one-sided image that media often reflects to the public. It is trying to reach out beyond the lies, ignorance, arrogance and personal motives of individuals and groups that have succeeded in building barriers and racial prejudice. This has been responsible for the suffering of the human race worldwide and has allowed people to see their differences in an unfavorable light with the result being a never-ending conflict to annihilate the other. The Glaring Truth demonstrates facts and builds bridges of understanding that supersede racial, religious and cultural differences.


You are cordially invited to share in this effort to help show the glaring truth to the whole world. During our follow up of the events, we came to the conclusion that what really shapes our present is not the war of armies, but the war of words. The Public Relations war, in an attempt to gain support for the aggressor's side, is hijacking the world's ability to think and choose. Extensive lies and obscure truth are the tools they are using. Accordingly we decided to organize ourselves and initiate a forum or group to discuss how we can very professionally sustain a front that defends the truth and makes sure it reaches the media and the public through the “Glaring Truth" group. Our efforts are based on humanitarian issues regardless of religion or race. In this group, you will find people who are trying to do something, and who are not just talking.

Within less than two weeks of our initiation we managed to put a racist website under investigation for the possibility of shutting it down by the order of law.
