Great minds have often encountered violent opposition from mediocre spirits.

About Me

It is my pleasure to introduce myself as the founding member of The Unne Foundation. Our organization is committed to research, to revealing the unseen and reexamining the distorted. It is our aspiration to improve the quality of life on this planet Earth, and we believe that by asking as-of-yet unanswered questions, gathering information, transmuting information into knowledge, and doing our best to stay humble in order to avoid gross misinterpretation of facts, our aspiration may be fulfilled. Indeed, it is a mission with no end in sight, but every little step counts. The Unne Foundation is still in its budding phases, but as everybody knows, even the most beautiful lotus was once but a diminutive bud. We sincerely wish peace, prosperity, and joy to all who share the struggle of life as a human being.If you click the above button, you will probably see a terrifying window saying that we're trying to phish you. That is nonsense! As long as you never give out your password, you are unphishable.

Muh serjuree
