Sometimes I feel like we are living through an Orwellian Nightmare. I've assembled a list of Doublespeak terms to illustrate.

in #politics8 years ago

Department of Defense => Department of War

Patriot Act => Mass Surveillance Act

Conspiracy Theorist => Independent Journalist

Political Correctness => Censorship

National Security Agency (NSA) => National Spying Agency

Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) => Covert Intervention Agency

Collateral damage => Civilian casualties

Enhanced interrogation => Torturing prisoners

Foreign Aid => Subsidies to the Military-Industrial Complex (most foreign aid is required to be spent with US armament companies)

Anti-vaxxer => A liberty advocate that does not believe government should have the right to forcefully vaccinate

Inflation => Currency tax

“Moderate Rebels” (in Syria) => Al Q’aeda => “We have always been at war with Assad, and Al Q’aeda has always been our ally”

Truther => Somehow this has become an insult / slur? “In times of universal deceit.. telling the truth is a revolutionary act”

Federal Reserve => Not Federal, actually a cartel of private banks that fixes interest rates to benefit member banks. Has no reserves, although technically cannot go bankrupt since they can print money.

Quantitative Easing => Money printing that we are going to loan to the mega banks at 0% interest


I hope you enjoyed my first post!

Looks like as if Orwellian newspeak is working fine so far. People are getting accustomed to and are swallowing that new "reality".

New executive order handing over power to the UN and furthering the martial law plans. Shouldn't be long now, I suggest looking into NSPD51.
