Propaganda Promoted By Major Media and Prominent Journalists

[From article]
First they came for the baker, and I said nothing, because I was not a baker.
Then they came for the photographer, and I did nothing, because I was not a photographer.
Then they came for the institution of marriage, but I was not married.
Then they came for the girls' bathrooms, but I was not a girl.
Then they came for the tolerant in the name of tolerance, but I didn't understand.
Calling themselves progressives, they seek to destroy progress.
They rewrite history to control the future.
They have deformed the Constitution into a suicidal playbook.
Their appointed justices say the Constitution is a living document.
But if the Constitution is living, then it is dead.
They have replaced Jeffersonian individualism and free enterprise with the Leviathan State.
[. . .]



They steal from the worker through taxing his wages and give it to those who vote for a living.
Voter fraud is justified as a means to end. Nothing is beneath them.
They disarm the law-abiding to make victims defenseless against the emboldened criminal.
Before, they came for the Jew, but now they also come for the Christian and Western civilization itself.



Yet they protect the illegal alien and Muslim immigrant hordes.
They shame our cultures and our borders, but theirs are sacrosanct.
They tell us it is our fault that we are blown up and beheaded.
They prey on the humane and decent and use their humanity and decency against them.
They brandish pseudo-phobias as both spear and shield.
Shouting for racial justice, they incite racial hatred.
Failing incitement, they fabricate hoax incidents of hate against themselves for attention and sympathy.
[. . .]



They crusade on campus to enslave free minds and enforce conformity to an ideological assimilation of attitude.
They attack Judeo-Christianity with religious fervor yet worship at the altar of secular atheism while embracing sharia.
They strive to enslave the people of the planet in the name of saving the planet.
They foment panic of plant food while ignoring data of epochs past.
They use the siren song of entertainment media to demoralize, desensitize, and dumb down.
Now I see the truth as the scales of my public education and trust in media fall from my eyes.
Yet now the twin tides of the nihilist and the zealot ooze forth to pillage and rape.
Pillage of my culture and rape of women because they are daughters of the infidel, or maybe just because their skin is white.
They feel entitled through self-esteem, though they are retarded from generations of ideological inbreeding.
They demand charity for merely existing and reparations for something that never happened to them.
Left, thy name is hate. Yet with gnashed teeth, they call us the haters, because we hate what they are doing to all that we love.
They wage guilt and gall.
They worship mayhem and madness.
They bond in a cult of duplicity and death.
Oppose not this sacrilege at your own peril.
Pacifism in the face of evil is the greater evil.

March of the Orwellians
By W.R. Wansley

Who's Unemployed? Who's On First?

COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America .

ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It’s 5.6%.

COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?

ABBOTT: No, that’s 23%.

COSTELLO: You just said 5.6%.

ABBOTT: 5.6% Unemployed.

COSTELLO: Right 5.6% out of work.

ABBOTT: No, that’s 23%.

COSTELLO: Okay, so it’s 23% unemployed.

ABBOTT: No, that’s 5.6%.

COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 5.6% or 23%?

ABBOTT: 5.6% are unemployed. 23% are out of work.

COSTELLO: If you are out of work you are unemployed.

ABBOTT: No, Obama said you can’t count the “Out of Work” as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed.

COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!

ABBOTT: No, you miss his point.

COSTELLO: What point?

ABBOTT: Someone who doesn’t look for work can’t be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn’t be fair.

COSTELLO: To whom?

ABBOTT: The unemployed.

COSTELLO: But ALL of them are out of work.

ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.

COSTELLO: So if you’re off the unemployment roles that would count as less unemployment?

ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!

COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don’t look for work?

ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That’s how it gets to 5.6%. Otherwise it would be 23%.

COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?

ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.

COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?

ABBOTT: Correct.

COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?

ABBOTT: Bingo.

COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to have people stop looking for work.

ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like a Democrat.

COSTELLO: I don’t even know what the hell I just said!

ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like Hilary.

Stalin's Courts Appear in Kansas

Dr. Andrea Quenette

[From article]
This woman was being forced by her judges to read what was in effect a confession of guilt prepared for her by the accusers (the self-same judges). She was then bullied into sitting quietly as her judges took turns condemning her. When, during this tribunal straight from the depths of twentieth-century totalitarianism, Quenette attempted to read her own prepared statement of clarification and apology, the students refused to hear it.
[. . .]
The charge was political incorrectness, the ultimate crime against the progressive state. There is no defense against this charge. The notion of defense presumes a charge that is rational and defined by a knowable and stable law. The rationale of defense is inapplicable in the world of progressive thought. You are guilty because you have been accused. You are accused because we have decided your action, in this instance, at this time, constitutes a crime. To answer the charge is to commit further offense. Do you find this incomprehensible?

[. . .]
As Orwell taught us, the essence of good citizenship in a totalitarian society is one’s willingness to say that two plus two equals five when that is the prescribed belief of the moment -- and actually to believe it.
[. . .]
Kafka shows us, in living grayness, the essence of our time. We all stand accused before a faceless establishment. The precise nature of our crimes will never be disclosed to us, and probably couldn’t be disclosed with any clarity. Our guilt, though never in doubt, is as elusive as the "true" perspective on an optical illusion.
The only difference between our real bureaucratic world and the one inhabited by Kafka’s Josef K. is that ours is being gradually superimposed on a civilization with a long-standing tradition of rational justification and reliance on empirical evidence.
[. . .]
one is always on trial, always in the process of being condemned. And our jury is not our peers, is not even human, but is a haze of superior sentiment issuing from one of those mysterious offices we can never find.
[. . .]
These winds blow most easily through the minds of the educated class, because education today means little more than having one’s mind fitted with a moral and intellectual revolving door prepared to accept anything the ruling class decrees, and to condemn dissenters as required, without so much as a twitch of self-doubt about the ever-shifting standards of judgment. In other words, the more time one spends in today’s academic system, the less rational one is likely to become, and the less open to having one’s platitudes challenged. For the most advanced scholars, i.e., graduate students and their professors, the winds of establishmentarianism have almost perfectly displaced the antiquated adherence to basic humanity and simple logic that were once considered the prerequisites of productive thinking.
In short, the university’s essence has been reversed. No longer a haven of philosophical detachment and open discussion, it is now the foremost exemplar of the mob mentality. No longer the one place in our excessively practical modernity where the theoretical life might get a fair shake, it is now the primary residence of fanatical activism, reason’s natural enemy.
[. . .]
how far the West has fallen, and how quickly. Graduate students in the American heartland, the heartland of modern liberty, are demanding that a young woman professor be terminated, forcing her to read aloud from their condemnation of her, and walking out on her as she seeks their forgiveness -- though neither she, nor they, nor anyone else in this Kafkaesque tragicomedy, can explain exactly what offense she committed for which forgiveness is needed.
[. . .]
But if we are foolish enough to make education -- the future of civilization -- our life’s work, the "gentlemen" will likely be a goon squad of role-playing militant idiot doctoral students and their cheerleaders/puppet-masters, the professorial parasites. The shame of it, indeed.
A civilization's future is only as bright as its educational establishment.

Thought Terminated: Kafka at Kansas University

New Book Of George Orwell's Writings, Review

[Book Review]
Seeing Things As They Are: Selected Journalism and Other Writings by George Orwell
496pp, Harvill Secker,

[From review]
Orwell remains on his pedestal and there seems no imminent risk of him being defenestrated. Indeed, if anything, his reputation continues to grow.
[. . .]
Orwell is always interesting, even when he is wrong
[. . .]
Then there is his account of attending the House of Commons in 1944 and discovering: “It is just a collection of mediocre-looking men in dingy, dark suits, nearly all speaking in the same accent and all laughing at the same jokes.”
[. . .]
There is no point, Orwell tells us, in being frank with our friends – and our enemies – if we cannot be honest with ourselves. Moreover, if we cannot manage the latter the former will be impossible. There is always a price to be paid for lies and for cowardice.

White House Occupied By Orwellian Official

[From article]
For instance, in his Tuesday statement that US airstrikes that have expanded into Syria, Obama studiously avoided any discussion about his domestic legal authority to conduct these strikes. That dirty work was apparently left up to anonymous White House officials, who told the New York Times’s Charlie Savage that both the Authorization of Use of Military Force (AUMF) from 2001 (meant for al-Qaida) and the 2002 war resolution (meant for Saddam Hussein’s Iraq) gave the government the authority to strike Isis in Syria.
In other words: the legal authority provided to the White House to strike al-Qaida and invade Iraq more than a dozen years ago now means that the US can wage war against a terrorist organization that’s decidedly not al-Qaida, in a country that is definitely not Iraq.
[. . .]
Then on Tuesday, Buzzfeed’s Evan McMorris-Santoro reported that the Pentagon is “confident” that no civilians were killed in any of the initial airstrikes in Syria, despite a credible report to the contrary. But we have no idea what that actually means either. The White House previously embraced a re-definition of “civilian” so it could easily deny its drone strikes were killing anyone than “militants” in Yemen, Pakistan, and elsewhere,
[. . .]
White House has “an extremely narrow definition of combat … a definition rejected by virtually every military expert.” According to the Obama administration, the 1600 “military advisers” that have steadily been flowing in Iraq fall outside this definition, despite the fact that “military advisers” can be: embedded with Iraqi troops; carry weapons; fire their weapons if fired upon; and call in airstrikes. In the bizarro dictionary of war employed by this White House, none of that qualifies as “combat”.

Is Obama misleading the world to war? Depends how you define 'misleading'
When it comes to military strikes against Isis in Syria, his administration’s strategy relies on what the meaning of ‘is’ is

White House Imitating Art

[From article]
Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s denial that he ever said that citizen complaints about Obamacare were merely lies and Obama’s assertion that he never drew a “red line.” Or Kathleen Sebelius’s claim that she never said that the sign-up goal for Obamacare was seven million people are perfect examples of how the Democrats are brazenly following the apparent policy of Orwell’s “Party” in 1984 to reverse reality from what it actually was to what they want it to be.
[. . .]
by the unionized teachers in the public school system of the United States, it might also be described as the Robin Hood Maneuver – Rob the Rich and Give (at least some of it) to the Poor.
Now this is not to imply that George Orwell wrote Robin Hood, but he did write Animal Farm. And as most people know, the single most striking line from that book is “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”
Apparently Barack Obama has volunteered his services to separate those of us who are equal from those who are more equal. What a guy, eh?
[. . .]
the odds are (based on the past five years of watching the Obama White House function) that the President and his cadre will simply ignore the impending disasters associated with Obamacare. They will ignore any dangers associated with his schemes to correct income inequality. They will defend with unflagging zeal the Common Core uniformity he wishes to force on the American educational establishment and the students who will become semi-literate high school graduates.

Marx Not Locke is Known to American Youth

[From article]
"I am not claiming that there is a Marxist conspiracy to indoctrinate our children. However, I do know that if we continue to neglect educating our children about the men on whose ideas this nation was built, this nation will not stand. The borders may remain the same, but the character of this nation will be lost forever."


Some observers believe that there IS a conspiracy to indoctrinate youth "transforming" (is the current administration's word) America. [Ed.]
