Orwellian Guide To The News
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
Is it me or are examples of such DoubleSpeak cropping up more and more? Not just in the news, might I add but also amongst ordinary people you meet. People who say something so entirely at odds with their actions, it leaves you scratching your head, wondering if you have gone mad. Is it a sign of our times, a brutalisation of society?
Of course we have plenty of idols whose behaviour we can emulate. Our governments are Olympic champions of DoubleSpeak and our media has no qualms about repeating all the hypocrisy and rubbish that spokesmen and women trot out on a daily basis.
Examples:
The discovery of WMD in Iraq leading to an invasion of that country to establish peace and democracy. Well, the invasion was illegal, unwanted and jingoistic resulting in the deaths of millions, no peace and no democracy.
Global banksters gambling hubristically with our hard-won cash, exploiting the poor and weak, repossessing their homes, creating a world-wide depression and then being bailed out by us tax payers and rewarded with huge cash bonuses to boot.
The capture and mutilation of Osama Bin Laden and then dumping him in the sea ‘in accordance with Islamic tradition’ – out of respect so they would never have to show the proof of this fairy tale.
Britain’s failed assassination attempt on Gaddafi 20 years ago followed by our own Tony Blair toadying up to Libya’s premier, pulling off some dodgy oil deals and then when we had what we wanted, taking him out because he knew too much.
Bill Gates talking at the Ted Conference on the need to reduce population and saying that even with the most effective vaccination programme, we could only achieve a 15% reduction thereby openly admitting vaccinations reduce fertility and kill people.
I mean I could go on… The news throws up examples of such rubbish daily and it’s clever. Because what do we do when we are confused? Does uncertainty galvanise us? Or does it leave us scratching our heads wondering it it is we who are the stupid ones.
One undeniable fact remains. The lies are getting bigger. They are getting more outrageous. The liars are getting more arrogant. And so millions of people are cottoning on to what is going on. A tipping point is coming when people will refuse to take the crap any longer. And that tipping point is not that far away.
