1984 has arrived, albeit a few decades later than Orwell suspected. Honesty is no longer a cardinal virtue, truth is shunned and covered up…not sought out and celebrated. Our history is, too.
Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, “the Squad,” Adam Schiff, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden -- and their aiders and abettors in the mainstream media -- refuse to acknowledge obvious truths, while demanding that the rest of us proclaim obvious falsehoods to be obvious truths. It is jarring, insane.
Democrats tried to impeach President Trump over a “quid pro quo” they claim he issued via a phone call to then-newly installed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, a claim Zelenskiy himself flatly denied, yet Dems insisted there was no basis whatsoever for Trump’s claim that Biden bribed Ukrainian officials to fire the prosecutor investigating his son’s company…even though Biden is on tape bragging about doing just that.

To leftists, truth is relative at best. Yet, if recognized by others, it can often prevent them from attaining their goals. Therefore, it must be obfuscated or obliterated. In the early stages of “the pandemic,” experts such as Dr. Fauci were adamantly telling people that there was no need to wear a face mask for protection. Now, some say they believe wearing a mask is a better defense against the coronavirus than a vaccine would provide. They claim the only reason they told citizens there was no need to wear a mask early on was to prevent doctors and critical care staff from being deprived of them. So, essentially they’re saying: “We were just lying when we told you it wasn’t necessary to wear a mask.

Progressives/Statists/Leftists/Socialists/Democrats… they are basically all one and the same now. And, to them, mask mandates are simply a necessary form of obedience training.

Great post. Thanks RoosterRedux. HOORAY American Thinker Eric Utter for his utterances.
Exactly. Contempt for truth is the evil most fundamental to the decadence of Western Civilisation.
Truth--truth for its own sake--the relentless pursuit of truth, wherever it reveals itself, and its acceptance, whatever it may be--is the foundation of Western Civilisation and the scientific method.
When this is corrupted, Western Civilisation and all its blessings--
from liberty to the eradication of horrifying diseases;ALL are corrupted,from the creation of such masterpieces as the Victoire de Samothrace, Bach's St. Matthew Passion, les Misérables, and la cathédrale de Notre-Dame to the exploration of outer space--
from quantum mechanics to world peace and the eradication of slavery from the world--
from the safety of tucking your children into their beds at night and dropping them off at school to the vast power of the internet--
from news reports that you can believe to government on which you can depend--
and everything in between!
And the foundation of that which allowed them ALL to arise and flow from the human soul is corrupted and ultimately destroyed.
This is where we are today. This is our choice on November 3, 2020.
Victor Davis Hanson has also been talking about the fragmentation of civilization. Two of his several articles:

We’ll figure that out in subsequent elections.
BUMP!
Evil people always support each other; that is their chief strength.
Violence does not and cannot flourish by itself; it is inevitably intertwined with lying.
Modern society is hypnotized by socialism. It is prevented by socialism from seeing the mortal danger it is in. And one of the greatest dangers of all is that you have lost all sense of danger, you cannot even see where it’s coming from as it moves swiftly towards you.
Aleksander Solzhenitsyn
Indeed, they have only contempt for truth.
That is the foundation of their corruption and evil and of the decadence that has allowed them to thrive.
Their pretence of some "higher truth" is nothing but untruth.
Its ability to hypnotise, its advantages for propaganda, its power to enthral escaped me.
Was I naive!
The backers of Socialism or communism always promise to create a garden of Eden for down trodden workers, even though those workers are actually doing very well, and the end result is always the upper ruling class living high on the hog and the workers eating out of garbage cans like they do in Venezuela.
“When I realised that the Information Age was upon us, I was jubilant. I believed that the internet and all its other blessings would bring truth, education, and enlightenment to all the people of the world.”
WOW! WOW! WOW! My EXACT same though, Savage Beast. Many years ago.
BTTT!

We’ll, when the entire financial system that we are all chained to is built on fantasy, it’s easy to create any truth you want.
Surveillance. It will be worse than Orwell predicted. He had no idea what technology is bringing to us....and we are walking right into it willfully.
“When this is corrupted, Western Civilisation and all its blessings—

and everything in between!”
All those achievements are almost exclusively due to white people.
So why is it a sin to be proud of being white and to feel a sense of being better than other races? Isn’t that a truth, a reality that whites themselves feel uncomfortable acknowledging?
mask mandates are simply a necessary form of obedience training.

“from liberty to the eradication of horrifying diseases;”

I believe that Americans today think that our way of life/freedom is ....normal. They do not realize how difficult it has been for humanity in generations past.....or how hard people worked, or how many have died in wars to preserve it. They don’t know that this ‘normal’ is anything but and can be lost. Is it possible to fix this ignorance? I don’t think so.
I noticed during one of Trump’s recent rallies they played Eye of the Tiger. They always played that in 2016. I think they should go back to playing it at all his rallies. Biden could counter with Eye of the Mouse.
