Sowing the Wind: The New ‘Newspeak’ COMMENTARY By Lani KassMarch 19, 2024 Sowing the Wind: The New ‘Newspeak’AP The presidential election is eight months away. Yet the campaign to preclude a second Trump administration is already in high gear. In the course of two weeks, the public was given a preview of the undemocratic, uncouth, racist dystopia MAGA America is doomed to become. Against the backdrop of the most virulent antisemitism sweeping the U.S. in the wake of Hamas’ savagery, the media has chosen to pillory “white nationalism” as the clear and present danger.
First, a new tome, “White Rural Rage,” is hailed by the New York Times as “an important book that ought to be read by anyone who wants to understand politics in the perilous Age of Trump.”
Next, Politico’s Heidi Przybyla proclaims that people who believe human rights come from God are “Christian Nationalists.” She triggers an uproar. Yet she doubles down in an even more incendiary piece: “Christian Nationalism is a political movement. … The thing that unites them … is that they believe our rights as Americans and as all human beings do not come from any earthy [sic] authority. They don’t come from Congress, from the Supreme Court, they come from God.”
Evidently, people who have read America’s founding document – the Constitution – are a mortal threat to our very survival.

No one is going to start writing a book about all of this because George Orwell already did.
If you have to go to a ‘government’ for your ‘rights’... you already lost them
Shatter every natural connection in society; twist the language; isolate people from each other.
You are going to need them, money in your retirement plan is worthless.

The deep state will fail with this tactic too... we won’t tell them why...
