When are they going to start speaking the truth again?

Valerie Jarrett announced the other day that "we're going to speak truth to power."
Who's Valerie Jarrett? She's "senior adviser" to the president of the United States - i.e., the leader of the most powerful nation on the face of the Earth. You would think the most powerful man in the most powerful nation would have a hard job finding anyone on the planet to whom to speak truth to power. But I suppose if you're as eager to do so as his senior adviser, there's always somebody out there: The supreme leader of Iran. The prime minister of Belgium. The deputy tourism minister of the Solomon Islands. But no. The senior adviser has selected targets closer to home: "I think that what the administration has said very clearly is that we're going to speak truth to power. When we saw all of the distortions in the course of the summer, when people were coming down to town-hall meetings and putting up signs that were scaring seniors to death. ..."
Ah, right. People "putting up signs." Can't have that, can we? The most powerful woman in the inner circle of the most powerful man on Earth has decided to speak truth to powerful people standing in the street with handwritten placards saying, "This granma isn't shovel-ready." Was it only a week ago that I wrote about this administration's peculiar need for domestic enemies?

It may be an apocryphal quote, but I believe a Nazi said: "if the Jews had not existed, we would've invented them".
You can get a lot done, if you mobilize people against an enemy. Obama's people understand this. And now, we are all Jews.

I’m sick to death of that nonsensical phrase “speak truth to power.” It’s gobble-de-gook, made up by quasi-intellectuals, and I have no clue to what/whom Jarrett is referring!
Speak truth to power.
It was made up by a Jewish writer, many, many years ago. It was taken up by the radicals in their struggle against the establishment.
It was made popular by Kunta Kinte, who used it to go from being a lowly slave, to becoming an important member of the officer's staff on the Starship Enterprise.
Since it works that well, surely you can see why Jarrett is using it.
They got their payoff. The highest funding in 16 years...for the Ministry of Propaganda.
When are they going to start speaking the truth again?
