Truthsquare 12 Guardian Knights of Truth

Though many Knights of Truth will be promoted by the Truthsquare in the future, we have decided to name 12 Guardian Knights of Truth at the very launch of the site. It was very hard to select 12 personalities from a long list of people, who left an epoch-making imprint on human civilization: Aristotle (especially since we use his "square of opposition" in our site to test the Truth), Confucius, William Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Bernard Shaw, Sir Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Giordano Bruno, Dmitryi Mendeleev, Alexander Pushkin, Plato, Jerome David Salinger, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, John Maynard Keynes, Maria-Theresia of Austria, Nelson Mandela, Marie Curie, Margaret Thatcher, and many many others - all of them have done something unique, something unparalleled.

In order to select 12 honorable Guardian Knights of Truth, we guided ourselves by the following principles: - avoid politicians, as politicians are always controversial, though we can't live without them; - promotion of eternal values and discoveries, universality and spirituality; - choose those, who acted and lived their lives with tenacity, dedication and passion working for the victory of truth, for a just humanity, for a better world.

Again, anyone can be here, you can be here, a random man from the street can be here, me. But we have selected the following personalities being convinced that they have not only left a unique mark in our history, but will also serve as a motivating example for future generations to live in virtue and die with dignity.

Isaac Newton
Undoubtedly considered one of the greatest geniuses who ever lived, we decided to knight Sir Isaac Newton for his role in establishing the truth about how things really work in nature. With his diverse knowledge Sir Isaac Newton until now remains one of the most influential men in history.
Socrates
A famous Greek philosopher, who not only set the foundation for generations of future philosophers up to date through his not less famous students (Plato, Aristotle, Aristophanes), but also for his works on Knowledge and Truth, for his belief that the best way for people to live was to focus on self-development rather than the pursuit of material wealth. Calling himself a gadfly, he always challenged the status quo and developed and applied logic in pursuit of the right answer. Even his death is associated with stand for his ethic principles and truth.
Leonardo da Vinci
A truly unique personality in the history of human civilization. Being a polymath, he left an unprecedented heritage of works: masterpieces in arts, mathematics, engineering, architecture, anatomy and so on. A genius, who was centuries ahead of his generation, he was a person of outstanding spiritual grace and moral strength, he praised the beauty of life in most of his works and in his personal behavior, for which we decided to name him as a Guardian of Truth.
Abu Ali ibn Sina (Avicenna)
A famous Arab polymath, whom we chose to knight for his works and teachings in medicine, chemistry, logic, astronomy, mathematics and other sciences that have not only promoted the truth at that time, but also served the people many centuries ahead.
Johan Wolfgang von Goethe
A famous German polymath, whose works span the fields of poetry, drama, philosophy and science. We knight him as Guardian Knight of Truth for his exceptional drama “Faust”, by which he provoked numerous interpretations and discussions about God and devil, good and bad, Death, vanity, sexuality and sense of Life.
Albert Einstein
Not only an acclaimed physicist, who made a breakthrough in many fields of physics, leading to a more true understanding of the Universe, but also a great humanist and supporter of Ethical Culture. For this and for his courage in speaking loud about many burning political, social and religious issues of the first half of the 20th century we knight him as a Guardian of Truth.
Mahatma Ghandi
A major political and spiritual leader of India and Indian independence movement. We name him a Guardian Knight of Truth not as much for his political activity in leading India towards independence, as for the way he did it through appealing to human dignity and soul, through non-violent disobedience and speaking the truth and advocating the others to do the same. (Mahatma in Sanskrit means Great Soul).
Martin Luther King
A prominent American activist and dedicated fighter for African-American civil rights. King's courage and success in promoting new approach for human rights in quite an unfriendly environment of that times in US, have cemented the ground for further changes in the American politics, which ultimately led to the election of the first African American President in the history of the United States. An outspoken orator and charismatic leader, until now King is revered as saint.
Andrei Sakharov
A prominent Soviet (Russian) physicist, known as “father” of hydrogen bomb, has later not only turned into a passionate fighter against proliferation of nuclear weapons, but also against the oppression and backwardness of the Soviet society. Practically alone he turned against the repressive system and was not afraid to tell the Truth about it and fight for human rights and against the senseless war in Afghanistan. Deprived of all his merits and titles, he was exiled into Gorkyi (now Nyzhny Novgorod) and spent 6 years under house arrest. Andrei Sakharov was a rare standard of human dignity, decency and spiritual strength. He lived to see the Soviet Union becoming democratic and got a Nobel Prize. In the words of the Nobel Peace Committee, Sakharov was a spokesman for the conscience of mankind.
Mother Theresa
Probably one of the most famous women of the 20-th century, a strong and active personality, who become an example for her devotedness to charity and helping the poor, sick, orphaned and dying. An Albanian by birth and Indian by citizenship she started a Missionary Charity in Calcutta in 1950, which at the time of her death in 1997 counted 610 missions in 123 countries. She had her own critics, but in big terms she will survive in our memories as a courageous woman who in spite of difficulties cared for the needed ones. A nobel Knight.
Pope John Paul II
A unique personality, who undoubtedly was not only the second longest serving Pope in the history of Catholic Church, but probably the most prolific one, a man that helped re-shape the map and history of Europe and bring down the communism in Eastern Europe. A Polish by birth, a visionary man of great intelligence, fluently speaking about 10 languages, and with great charisma and energy, he not only extensively travelled the world spreading the Good and Truth, but also improved relations of the Catholic Church with Judaism, Anglican and Eastern Orthodox Churches.
Clint Eastwood
An American actor, producer and composer, still active. The longest-running movie star ever, we have decided to name him as Guardian Knight of Truth for his unique role in the history of movies. Not only he always fought as an actor for the true and right things in his movies, but as a producer he had also made movies, which have a powerful message about importance to stand on the square, to be strong and right in your deeds, to believe and hope, and fight for your true beliefs.
Lie detector
Ugo Chavez says terrible earthquake in Haiti is produced by US testing its tectonic weapon, and is a prelude for a much bigger showdown with Iran.
