Greetings good citizen, we can only wonder if the vacuous masses in Orwell's 1984 were even aware the ministry of truth existed never mind it's 'true purpose'.
One suspects the whole purpose of penning 1984 was to circulate [for the few that could appreciate it] the fact that most of us 'sleepwalk' through this life, reacting but not responding to our circumstances, oblivious that we're being manipulated.
Not a 'curse', just laying down the facts. First reader will retire the site with the notice you've moved on to that great blogosphere in the 'hereafter'.
No harm, no foul. We may set the toolbox down for a while but the 'itching' in our fingers makes us pick them up again when we know the only ones we're fooling is ourselves.
But I digress...today's reference to 'The Ministry of Truth' is born of the revelation that the POTUS has a shiny new cabinet post, he has appointed a lying liar as his 'strategist'.
If Donald's lucky he'll live through his first term and probably won't want a second...so is this 'strategist' there to keep [him in particular] and the administration in general 'on message' [and what do you suppose that 'message' will be?]
Well, only a dozen or so weeks until the inauguration, after which we'll all find out what the One Percent have in store for the next four years.
Stolen election, hell yeah!
Have to admire the 'choreography' as well as the 'flawless execution'. Everyone played their parts superbly!
Thought experiment: Let's suppose you KNEW the electoral process was 'rigged'...who would you tell? More interesting question: How would you prove it?
Ironically, the situation itself is proof enough. Two of the most REVILED candidates in HISTORY and NOBODY had the 'common sense' to halt the proceedings and re-open the field?
These are questions that [and there's a million of 'em] 'don't get asked', a 'bad draw' is treated like precisely that. If you don't like who is running, don't vote!
And millions of us did exactly that!
Also 'boggling the mind' is how the vote, the ones that did cast ballots, came out almost perfectly even?
As it has been since the squeaker Ronald Reagan won back in 1980...and you KNOW there was a lot of things going on behind the scenes...like Iran releasing the hostages just days AFTER Reagan won.
Did we trade our democracy for a handful of corporate thieves?
Because that's the 'end result' good citizen.
But here I go again, making stuff up out of the facts as we know them...
What DO we KNOW?
I'm going to guess most of you have taken the stance of if you have to ask you are probably better off NOT KNOWING!
The past has already been altered to 'fit the narrative' and those who write history color it as they choose. Just ask our Native American population.
Here's another thought experiment...guess who the 'new Indians' are? Don't have to go far to see 'em, just find a MIRROR!
Anyway, keep your ear to the ground because I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed this 'shiny new' position and there SHOULD BE an 'explanation' of sorts coming pretty soon...although I did glean that the strategist will also serve as 'chief propagandist' for the administration.
How many of you know what 'propaganda' is without looking it up?
Propaganda is colored, diluted 'truth'. You get a tiny portion of the story all painted pretty so you remain ignorant of the 'less attractive aspects' of whatever the situation contains.
Those 'running things' are less than forthcoming already but during 'Bush the lesser's' term the REPUBLICANS legalized propagandizing the public!
They also abolished anti-usury legislation so don't buy it when they tell you laws can't be removed once enacted. [actually that's true, the 'trail of shame' remains so future lawmakers can see who did what to who, when.
How sad is it that in many cases long dead lawmakers are fortunate we don't dig them up and hang their corpses for their crimes against humanity.
Which ain't to say some future idiots won't do exactly that if only to make a point. People are WEIRD!
So even the media got its 'fig leaf'. [Not that they didn't simply lie their backsides off before propaganda was legalized...sort of a moot point anyway cuz the 'universal excuse' [claim ignorance] still holds.
What do you do when the people running things have 'Carte Blanche' to deceive you?
Think it's time for an uprising?
Strike, same thing only less blood.
Thanks for letting me inside your head,

Sadly [and this is for YOU CKM III] 'political activism' is a 'mental disorder'. Once contracted it is incurable. You may try to 'shut up', you know your 'wisdom' falls upon deaf, uncomprehending ears but you do it all the same.
You try to quit but it keeps sucking you back in.
