This took me longer to write than it takes you to read:
BIG BROTHER SPEAKS
Here are a few of Orwell's Newspeak terms coined in 1948 that are so relevant to what is happening today:
Crimethink:to even consider that the authorities could be wrong in any way.
Crimestop:to instinctively change your thought processes whenever you are in danger of breaking the law of crimethink and never listening to views that expose the ruling cabal. This has been described as "protective stupidity."
Thinkpol:the Thought Police whose role is to eliminate crimethink through spying, surveillance cameras, ect..
Blackwhite:to accept whatever the authorities say without question and, as Orwell put it. "..loyal willingness to say black is white when party (government) discipline demands this. It also means the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know black is white, and forget that one has ever believed the contrary."
Duckspeak:to speak without thinking, as in quacking like a duck.
Facecrime:to show any facial expression that Big Brother survillance could interpret as having something to hide.This could be a look of anxiety or failing to react to official statements or alleged "victories" in the correct manner, including not cheering when a war was won.
Doublethink:the refusal or inability to see contradictions and to have two contradictory beliefs in your mind at the same time while believing them both to be true. This comment by boy George Bush is an example:"See, we love--we love freedom. That's what they didn't understand. They hate things; we love things, They act out of hatred;we dont seek revenge, we seek justice out of love."
This asks us to believe that love=mass murder of civilians. This is an apparently impossible contradiction or doublethink, but tens of millions of Americans and others believe that both are true. Doublethink, and therfore crimestop (refusing to think anything ill of the government) are essential to tyrannies because their whole foundation is based on contradictions and lies. The character called Winston in Orwell's 1984 defined doublethink or doublespeak as:
"To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party (government) was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again:and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself. That was the ultimate subtlety:consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink."
NEWSPEAK TODAY
The Orwellian society is now all around us, gathering pace by the hour, and naturally a vital component of globalist thought control today is, as Orwell envisaged, the manipulation of language. Here are some of the real meanings behind modern Newspeak that the spinners constantly work to camouflage:
American interests:the interest of those who control the United States and anyone who resists that control is acting "against American interests".
National Security:the security of the authorities to hide their agenda and the control of the people through increased security to meet manufactured dangers.
World community:you hear this mantra pour from the mouths of the globalists like Bush, Powell and Blair. It implies that 'free' nations are bound together in pursuit of freedom, peace and morality as a "world community' when, as we saw with Iraq, this is Newspeak for American and British tyranny on behalf of the global-elite. "World community" is also designed to prepare the way for the acceptance of the world government.
Government Groups:any organisation that seeks to highlight and challenge government dictatorship. They are, therefore, dubbed highly dangerous anarchists or potential terrorists.
Extremist:anyone saying anything different to the government supported norm(see also "militant"). Redistributing wealth from mega rich to starving poor is considered "extremism" by those in power.
Conspiracy Theory:any claim that the government is lying and following an agenda hidden from the people.
Change:a big Newspeak word that means to introduce a global society by creating problems and undermining the status quo to bring about the perceived need for "change". The word "reform" is used in the same way, not least by Tony Blair, who claims that people are either "reformers" (those who accept change in line with the agenda) or "wreckers" (those that resist such change).
Right and Left/Conservative and Liberal:terms designed to present every issue as black and white polarities and obscure the fact that there are more than two sides to every debate.
Nation building: After bombing and invading a target country you place a puppet government in power to represent your interests while claiming it is a government chosen by the native people. This ensures the country is run by your dictat, but without your overt control. We don't want people to realise that a campaign of global conquest is happening before thier eyes (or visual cortex.)
Peacekeeping:occupation of a country by foreign troops.
Peace process:giving the impression that you are working for peace when it is merely an interlude before launching more conquest through war.
Terrorists:those who protest through violence, but also anyone who attacks or challenges the interests of the 'West', expecially America, Britain and Israel, or stands in the way of further conquest.
Liberation:mass murder and terrorism against civilians in the name of stopping terrorism that is nothing whatsoever to do with the people you kill or maim for life.
War on Terrorism:the constant repeat of this process.
Attack:When America and Co are the target.
Retaliation:When America and Co attack.
[Western values:these are values you want to impose on others, but don't have yourself. Mythical belief in the in the 'West' as the good guys appearing over the ridge to kill them baddy Indians. See also John Wayne.
[Campaign contribution:bribe.
Education:brainwashing
Good citizens:slaves that do not protest at being so or even realise that they are.
Equality:makes everyone a slave.
Human rights:the right to do what government tells you.
Tolerance:do not criticise or challenge the behavior of anything and anyone, no matter what the circumstances.
Zero tolerance:tyranny.
Free trade:using slave labor to make your products in the world's poorest countries for a few cents and exporting them without tariff charges to the richest countries to sel for top-of-the-range prices. Also means to dump your products in any country you wish and destroy the local economies and livelihoods of the world's poorest people.
Competition:transnational corporations competing to see which can exploit the global population most effectively.
Capitalism:cartelism.
Propaganda:whatever your opponents say because you only tell the truth.
Freedom:slavery.
