“A dark age of fascism, corrupt media, politics and censorship is upon us. Religion, government, large corporations and political pundits are controlling what people think by using the mainstream media to create propaganda. Individual creativity is endangered. True creativity comes from breaking away from failed policies, thinking for yourself, and creating a body of work that shows what you are thinking.” - Ziomax
