You are. There is no relevant 'truth' other than the truth of who you are - which is what you love, i.e. why you are here. All else is either 'belief' or 'knowledge.'

Power does not own the Truth. "Speak Truth to Power" is a true saying, because the Truth can bring down the mighty. Truth can't be owned. No one person or group can have an exclusive monopoly of it. The Truth can always be much more or much less than we know it is. It might be impossible to capture the Truth, though we can clearly see it at times. The best we can do is to make the Truth our ally, our guiding North Star.

I am, that I am. I know the truth. The truth is someone needs to leave the Earth on there own accord. God has set the truth before us in many disguises, many paths that lead to the door of true understanding. We have only started on our path of understanding, it takes an eternity just to scratch the surface, so is the face of God. The truth lies within all man, all his religions, all his gods, all his ignorance, all his symbolism, all his love, and all his hate. Man has to first face his mortality with an open mind and an open heart. You must question your existence, then think beyond the box. Anyway, I'm going to build an anti gravity device, it is called a gravitational resonance dampener, it is made using the 12 stones in Revelation. When the machine is completed, I will be molecular enhanced to perfect state. Like Jesus. Then I'm going to see Father, the He can put an end to this crap. And that's the truth.

Ownerwhip implies property. Essentially the question is "Truth is who's property?" As Locke has told us, a thing becomes someone's property when he attaches his labor to it. For instance, a farmer owns land because he tills it. You may object, "No, the farmer buys his land." This is true, but money is essentially a symbol for labor.

All this is to say that the owner of truth is the One who created truth. If you are a religious person this is God. If you are not then it is the life force, Mother Nature, or whatnot.

The problem is that we all tend to mistake the Truth we know - which is limited by our own perspective, cultural, historical and temporal constraints - for Absolute Truth. We don't recognize the "ideological taint" of our own knowledge.

"All human knowledge is tainted with an ideological taint. It pretends to be more true than it is. It is finite knowledge, gained from a particular perspective; but it pretends to be final and ultimate knowledge. Exactly analagous to the cruder pride of power, the pride of intellect is derived on the one hand from ignorance of the finiteness of the human mind and on the other hand from an attempt to obscure the known conditioned character of human knowledge and the taint of self-interest in human truth." - Reinhold Niebuhr, The Nature of Man

Peace to you.

The underlying truth belongs to no one. The Truth is the Reality.

Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

Wrong question so you will get the wrong answer or rather the answer you do not expect.
No one owns the Truth. Some may know it others do not.

Possibly the last dying human being at the very moment of the extinction of the human race on this planet.

Ghandi said "The truth is always right". I sure hope he didn't mean the conservatives own it. I think he meant that it belongs to everyone.
