…”The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield.”

“When one looks at the all-prevailing schizophrenia of democratic societies, the lies that have to be told for vote-catching purposes, the silence about major issues, the distortions of the press, it is tempting to believe that in totalitarian countries [such as socialist and communist countries] there is less humbug, more facing of the facts. There, at least, the ruling groups are not dependent on popular favour and can utter the truth crudely and brutally. Goering could say ‘Guns before butter’, while his democratic opposite numbers had to wrap the same sentiment up in hundreds of hypocritical words.”

“Actually, however, the avoidance of reality is much the same everywhere, and has much the same consequences. “…

Thought control in practice.  How to create Newspeak.  Be eternally skeptical of their so-called expertise.  Do the right thing.

The article at the following link provides an example of everyday thought control in practice, state of the art:

Elitist Journal Rejects Skeptic Study As ‘Not Helpful’ To Climate Cult

Unfortunately, many people still believe in the collective. They believe that it takes a village. Their confirmation bias is so strong that they are unable to listen and absorb that individualism is God-given, and, no surprise, usually they have chosen to be God-less. They have not learned the lesson of the tragedy of the commons, but they probably were taught the metaphor. The metaphor is commonly taught, but it is most often used to teach a lesson against individualism or capitalism or free markets. The lesson is personal responsibility. For them, individualism, capitalism and free markets conflict with personal responsibility because a denial of instant gratification means they are a victim, they have been victimized by someone or the system. They don’t know the lesson. They let their goat overgraze the commons, and when they are told to stop, in their minds they have become a victim. They have not imagined that it is their responsibility and no one else’s to limit their goat’s grazing, and to buy and plant some grass, water and care for it as routinely as graze it. Collectivism is fatalistic. Individualism is freedom.  And of course tyrants want and need fatalistic subjects.

The final popular vote is not yet counted. The Electoral College vote has not yet been given and is not yet due. It’s one two three what are we fighting for? According to rules of the game that long preceded him, Trump won the game and Hillary conceded that Trump won. If you want to fight about that decision then that’s your decision and the state will make its decision based on your behavior. Everybody who plays does not get a trophy.

Awesome thought provoking edition of Nigel Farage’s speeches on freedom … in his case from the prison of the European Union and its currency. But his points apply equally to the federal government of the United States of America: it needs to relinquish power back to the various states and the states back to the citizens. Get back Jo Jo.  About 15 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRz1QyBFG9E

HRC concedes, “…our responsibility as citizens is to keep doing our part to keep building that better, stronger, fairer America.’’ While that’s all true, Hillary’s words in no way reflect her actions or those of Democrats and RINOs. If anything their actions are the opposite of their words. It’s Newspeak.

George Orwell’s famous book Nineteen Eighty Four (1984) was intended as a warning, not as a guide. Here is Syme speaking to Winston in chapter 5: “Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thought-crime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by eactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. . . . The process will still be continuing long after you and I are dead. Every year fewer and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller. Even now, of course, there’s no reason or excuse for commiting thought-crime. It’s merely a question of self-discipline, reality-control. But in the end there won’t be any need even for that. . . . Has it ever occcured to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?”

Progressive Democrat Presidents led America into World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Iraq War.  The Iraq War was begun by President Clinton with a non-fly zone which escalated into bombing of Iraq’s radar installations and military facilities and shooting down aircraft.  In the third and last debate of the 2016 presidential campaigns, Hillary Clinton proposed a no fly zone in Syria.

Hillary Clinton is proud of her intervention in Libya, boasting “We came, we saw, he died. Ha ha ha.”  She was referring to Libya’s President Muammar Gaddafi, who was killed in the streets.  But U.S. Ambassador Stevens and 3 other Americans were killed there also and we don’t know how many Libyans and others died there.  And now Libya is a failed country, a chaotic base for Islamic terrorists.  Why don’t we all vote for so-called “progressives?”

My Representative in the U.S. House is an Iraq War veteran and an officer in the military reserves, Ms. Tulsi Gabbard, a so-called “progressive” Democrat.  Recently she posted the following on Twitter:

with a link to this article: http://www.vox.com/world/2016/10/24/13382528/syria-intervention-plans-problems

Headline:

“3 big problems with plans to escalate in Syria”

“The hot new policy idea in Washington is the hottest old idea: direct US military intervention in Syria’s civil war.”

“In the past several months, the siege of the rebel-held eastern part of the city of Aleppo has dramatized the war’s terrible cost. In the last presidential debate, Hillary Clinton proposed imposing a no-fly zone in the country and setting up “safe havens” somewhere in Syria, where neither ISIS nor Bashar al-Assad’s forces can tread. A bevy of foreign policy heavyweights, ranging from Democratic foreign policy hand Zbigniew Brzezinski to John McCain, have made similar proposals. It seems like there’s a new such proposal somewhere in the American media every day.” …

and this..

By law, only citizens can vote in federal elections.  Illegal immigrants or illegal aliens are not citizens of the United States.  The President is inciting criminal activity.
