Do We Draw the Line at a US Ministry of Truth?
American Thinker ^ | 2 May, 2022 | J.B. Shurk

This aspiring dictatorship is getting desperate and dangerous.

Imagine having complete control over America's corporate news propaganda arm and still feeling vulnerable when it comes to "securing the narrative." Imagine having all the Big Tech censors working for the U.S. Intelligence Community, and the masters of disinformation are still unsure whether they can amply manipulate American opinion. Imagine dedicating a year and a half to persecuting anyone who questions the legitimacy of the 2020 election and learning that more Americans than ever now view that monstrosity as tainted by fraud. Imagine shamelessly spinning the Capitol breach into an attempted coup d'état only to find that half the country believes that the federal government is in the business of imprisoning political protesters. Imagine spending six years framing Donald Trump as a Russian spy; putting him in constant legal jeopardy with a rogue, Democrat-aligned special counsel investigation; impeaching him for the financial corruption of his political opponent's quid-pro-quo schemes in Ukraine; and then impeaching him a second time for the crime of free speech in a congressional operation designed to prevent him from ever running for elective office again — only to learn that he is the runaway favorite to win the 2024 Republican presidential primary and handily beating the current occupant of the White House by six points.

When propaganda, domestic espionage, malicious prosecution, blackmail, and an organized terror campaign of burn-loot-murder mayhem directed against ordinary Americans fail to subdue the citizen population, what do aspiring totalitarians do next? That's right, friends, come on down: it's Ministry of Truth time! The same Department of Homeland Security that has never had any interest in securing the homeland (come right over, international terrorists and drug-runners, the border's wide open!) will now dedicate its malignant resources to censoring so much truth that...

I recall Rather Dan the night the impeached *Squirt won. “We will now take you to the spin room.” See BS may have invented it.

I am less concerned with the “Spin” of the Ministry of Truth than actual enforcement powers they might assume.

Liberals Lie, that’s a given, this group is led by a 33-year old insane ideologue who probably sees this situation as a way to really crush opposition and become a famous SJW warrior in the process.

Given her past statements and views, give someone like that real law enforcement powers and you have a situation that is truly frightening.

We are at the end of an age, the end of the GAE.

What blows my mind is how many Freepers lap up the latest round of war propaganda, 20 years after the fake WMDs, fake baby incubators, etc etc.

No, we draw the line behind the Ministry of Truth. Cut that sucker off and let it fall into the abyss.

I read the entire article and it's call to action was,”break the glass, immediately”

Exactly what the hell is that?

I have an idea what the ‘hell’ it is. However, FR’s (I’m talking in general) that are for democratic Ukraine independence are not going to, at least at first, like it.

NCSWIC.

Nothing.

Where does Biden get the power to create a new department?

Imagine the appointed “WATCHERS” knowingly spout lies in order to tap down ‘misinformation’. And the same being heard from former elected Vice-Presidents AND Presidents. That such men were ELECTED by an unsuspecting public is a frightening
revelation. Oaths and promises mean nothing to these people.
Their credentials should be ripped from their tight fisted hands. AMERICA deserves better. American citizens had best
wise up or ultimately lose this legacy our forefathers created. At what point does one ‘begin to care’? Freefall?

Absolutely criminal to use taxpayers' money to lie to them. This is exactly the government that the Constitution was written about to codify the protection of citizens.

The same place he gets it, for all the other BS he does. Out of his nether regions. 😀

Draw a line?

Yeah, right. Draw that line and see what happens.

Will it be a pink line or a yellow line?

We are fixing to see with the republican primaries in PA, GA, MI, OH, WI, AZ, and MI this summer whether or not the grass roots peasants have finally had a gut-full of RINO traitors.

We are fixing to see if aiding and abetting the Steal is enough to vote them out. A republican victory in the Mid-Terms is meaningless if the RINO traitors survive their respective primaries.

The left already controls information. I did a google search on biden’s new KGB. NONE of the mainstream media are reporting on it. Those media are already under the control of the left.

The public doesn’t know about the new KGB. When the media decides to talk about it, it will be to soften it and make it appear that it will protect us from putin.

Not many people seem to remember the 2004 and 2014 color revolutions run by the US State Department to overthrow the Ukrainian government. The 2014 revolution was started under Hillary Clinton in 2013 and taken over by John Kerry with Victoria Nuland heavily involved under both of them. So now the people who created the Trump-Russia hoax and then tried to impeach Trump again over efforts to investigate Ukraine-Biden corruption are supposed to be believed on their Russia-Ukraine narrative? Whatever these people say is likely a lie meant to deceive the US citizens so I try to view their statements with extreme skepticism. I wish more people knew some more of the covert history of the situation happening now.

Two things strike me as odd in the photo. First, SecDef Austin is going in for the Darth Vader look, an second, many of those Marines look pregnant. We live in strange times.

It’s amazing so many freepers buy it all lock, stock and barrel.
