If not for double standards Nanzi would have no standards at all.

The occupiers were praised publically by Pelosi for their "impressive show of democracy in action." The House Speaker took to Twitter to express her "solidarity" with the activists as they attacked the Capitol, and sent senators into hiding until police managed to remove them from the building.

A shining example of why our Founding Fathers warned against democracy.

I remember her comments. Why wasn’t she arrested?

Excellent research. Exhibit a for their sham impeachment trial.

I've been trying to find her original Tweet and apparently iit’s been scrubbed from the Internet.

Sure we Freepers commented on it at the time.

How do we search though the years of data that FR has stored away?



 



16. Ministry Of Truth

.......

The Ministry of Truth, Winston's place of work, contained, it was said, three thousand rooms above ground level, and corresponding ramifications below.

The Ministry of Truth concerned itself with Lies. Party ownership of the print media made it easy to manipulate public opinion, and the film and radio carried the process further.

The primary job of the Ministry of Truth was to supply the citizens of Oceania with newspapers, films, textbooks, telescreen programmes, plays, novels - with every conceivable kind of information, instruction, or entertainment, from a statue to a slogan, from a lyric poem to a biological treatise, and from a child's spelling-book to a Newspeak dictionary.

Winston worked in the RECORDS DEPARTMENT (a single branch of the Ministry of Truth) editing and writing for The Times. He dictated into a machine called a speakwrite. Winston would receive articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to alter, or, in Newspeak, rectify. If, for example, the Ministry of Plenty forecast a surplus, and in reality the result was grossly less, Winston's job was to change previous versions so the old version would agree with the new one. This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs - to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance.

When his day's work started, Winston pulled the speakwrite towards him, blew the dust from its mouthpiece, and put on his spectacles. He dialed 'back numbers' on the telescreen and called for the appropriate issues of The Times, which slid out of the pneumatic tube after only a few minutes' delay. The messages he had received referred to articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to rectify.

In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speakwrite, a small pneumatic tube for written messages; to the left, a larger one for newspapers; and on the side wall, within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building.

As soon as Winston had dealt with each of the messages, he clipped his speakwritten corrections to the appropriate copy of The Times and pushed them into the pneumatic tube. Then, with a movement which was as nearly as possible unconscious, he crumpled up the original message and any notes that he himself had made, and dropped them into the memory hole to be devoured by the flames.

What happened in the unseen labyrinth to which the tubes led, he did not know in detail, but he did know in general terms. As soon as all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any particular number of The Times had been assembled and collated, that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files in its stead.

In the cubicle next to him the little woman with sandy hair toiled day in day out, simply at tracking down and deleting from the Press the names of people who had been vaporized and were therefore considered never to have existed. And this hall, with its fifty workers or thereabouts, was only one-sub-section, a single cell, as it were, in the huge complexity of the Records Department. Beyond, above, below, were other swarms of workers engaged in an unimaginable multitude of jobs.

There were huge printing-shops and their sub editors, their typography experts, and their elaborately equipped studios for the faking of photographs. There was the tele-programmes section with its engineers, its producers and its teams of actors specially chosen for their skill in imitating voices; clerks whose job was simply to draw up lists of books and periodicals which were due for recall; vast repositories where the corrected documents were stored; and the hidden furnaces where the original copies were destroyed.

And somewhere or other, quite anonymous, there were the directing brains who co-ordinated the whole effort and laid down the lines of policy which made it necessary that this fragment of the past should be preserved, that one falsified, and the other rubbed out of existence.

While Conservatives for DECADES have played the just leave me alone, I can’t be bothered with all that crap. I just want to live my life in peace the dems have been infiltrating the schools, our churches, our local gov’t, our military, Hollywood, Music, local news stations, etc... Our just leave me be complacency for many decades has resulted in the position we find ourselves in today.

Sadly true, and this complacency will continue right into slavery, as long as the slaves are assured of food and shelter. Security, not liberty, is what most want.

Exactly. Been saying for years their messaging sucks. They should get up and leave en masse and stand on the capital steps and hold press conference and show all the times DEMS have done same thing. But nope.

Wish there was a way to get this info to Trump and his lawyer.

Pointing out hypocrisy in DemoNazis is like pointing out that water is wet.

“I wonder if Trump’s legal team will refer to this storming of the Madison, Wisconsin capitol in 2011 in the impeachment trial.”

Maybe someone can pass that along to one of Trump’s team who still has social media — Don, Jr., Scavino, etc. I’m on nothing so can’t do it.

Marc Thiessen can ESAD! He also stated on Fox last week that Trump deserved to be impeached.

He’s on my list of Fox people I want gone before I’d ever watch them along with Juan Williams, Donna Brazile, Jennifer Griffin, Chris Wallace, and several more.

Here come the DNC Monks. If you listen closely you can hear their chant:

“Mena, Rose Law, Pay for Play!” *whack!!!* “We’d still vote for Hillary. ... Mena, Rose Law, Pay for Play!” *whack!!!* “We’d still vote for Hillary.”

Mark Thiessen also said he believed Trump was guilty and committed an impeachable offense. Bushie.
