What They Say Is Not What They Mean
Free America | 2-9-21 | The Harlequin

In order to effectively understand Democrats and their political collaborators, one must be able to discern between what they say, and what they actually mean. To this end, I’ve acquired a translation device that can process political propaganda and convert it into the truth that they'd rather you not know..

My first translation project comes from a NYT article published by Kevin Roose on Feb 2, 2021. Let’s take a look at what’s really going inside the minds of these totalitarian wannabees.

How the Biden Administration Can Help Solve Our Reality Crisis [obvious lack of credibility]

Last month, millions of Americans watched as President Biden took the oath of office and, in a high-minded [canned boilerplate] Inaugural Address, called for a new era of American unity [unquestioning obedience].

But plenty of other Americans weren’t paying attention to Mr. Biden’s speech. They were too busy watching YouTube videos alleging that the inauguration was a prerecorded hoax that had been filmed on a Hollywood soundstage. [speculating how far the Deep State will go to cover up this fraudulent election].

[snip]

Or maybe their TVs were tuned to OAN, where an anchor was floating the baseless theory [very plausible evidence ] that Mr. Biden “wasn’t actually elected by the people.”

[snip]

Hoaxes, lies and collective delusions [solid facts that discredit Democrats] aren’t new, but the extent to which millions of Americans have embraced them may be.

[snip]

The muddled, chaotic information ecosystem [ordinary blogs and newsgroups where normal Americans go to communicate with each other] that produces these misguided beliefs [solid evidence of Democrat corruption] doesn’t just jeopardize some lofty ideal of national unity [single party autocracy]. It actively exacerbates our biggest national problems [exposes the crimes and corruption of Democrats], and creates more work for those trying to solve them [keeping normal Americans quiet and powerless]. And it raises an important question for the Biden administration: How do you unite a country in which millions of people have chosen to create their own version of reality [resist an illegitimate administration]?

In the past year alone, we have seen conspiracy theorists false election fraud narrative [strong case for challenging the election]. We have also seen that if left unchecked, networked conspiracy theories and online disinformation campaigns [evidence of Democrat corruption widely disseminated on the internet] can lead to offline violence [Americans unwilling to cooperate with tyrannical authority]

I’ve spent the past several years reporting on our national reality crisis [a growing understanding of how corrupt our politicians have become] , and I worry that unless the Biden administration treats conspiracy theories and disinformation [damning evidence] as the urgent threats, [danger to the Democrats consolidation of power] they are, our parallel universes will only drift further apart, and the potential for violent unrest and civic dysfunction [complete refusal to comply with unconstitutional dictates] will only grow.

[snip]

Several experts I spoke with recommended that the Biden administration put together a cross-agency task force [deep state apparatus] to tackle disinformation and domestic extremism [disagreements with the powers that be], which would be led by something like a “reality czar" [thought police].

Several experts recommended that the Biden administration push for much more transparency [infiltration] into the inner workings of the black-box algorithms that Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other major platforms use to rank feeds, recommend [comply with arbitrary new federal laws] content and usher [monitor and investigate] users into private groups [enemies of the Deep State], many of which have been responsible for amplifying conspiracy theories and extremist views [bringing attention to widespread government malfeasance]

[snip]

“We must open the hood on social media so that civil rights lawyers and real watchdog organizations can investigate human rights abuses [American citizens who speak out against violations of their Constitutional rights] enabled or amplified by technology,” Dr. Donovan said.

[snip]

One bill introduced last year by two House Democrats, Representatives Anna G. Eshoo of California and Tom Malinowski of New Jersey, could help contain some of the damage [clamp down on political dissent].

[snip]

The experts I spoke with warned that tech platforms alone couldn’t bring back the millions of already radicalized Americans [ordinary citizens dissatisfied with their government], nor is teaching media literacy [Democrat propaganda] a silver bullet to prevent dangerous ideas [individual thoughts that don’t conform to the Democrats’ political agenda] from taking hold.

Letter to the boss(America public):

I have enjoyed working here these past several years. You have paid me very well, given me benefits beyond belief.

I have 3-4 months off per year and a pension plan that will pay my salary till the day I die and a health plan that most people can only dream about.

Despite this I plan to take the next 12-18 months to find a new position. During this time I will show up for work when it is convenient.

In addition I fully expect to draw my full salary and all the other perks associated with my current job.

Oh yes, if my search for this new job proves fruitless, I will be back with no loss in pay or status.

Before you say anything, remember that you have no choice in the matter. I can and will do this.

Sincerely,

Every Senator or Congressman running for re-election

Are we stupid or what?

Brilliant.

This article is less humorous, but also useful, IMO.

I do like this article. It is about not accepting the false manufactured reality of the leftists and explaining the truth.

We don’t do enough of it.

And we lose.

I agree. And the problem is at the root—U.S. media has been bought out by the left. Patriots need to build their own, and unlike Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly, keep their hands off the help. Not that the progs don’t mess with their staffers; but the double standard excuses them, not conservatives.

Well done, but Administration should be translated as Regime. If they keep the Guard stationed in perpetuity it will be a Junta.
