  • Altering Our Language to Control Minds: Big Brother’s Way

    The Left seeks to enforce an extreme edict of ‘political correctness’ so that everybody thinks like they do.
    Since the fraudulent 2020 election, and in particular since January 6, 2021, the Left has more blatantly dominated public discourse and is now enforcing an extreme edict of ‘political correctness.’
    To have voted for Donald Trump is now considered a grievous sin, as is being a Republican. To oppose Israel’s right to defend itself in the face of thousands of Hamas rockets is considered de rigueur on the Left.
    To take issue with the activities of BLM or Antifa is to risk being socially ostracized, ruining your career, maybe getting beaten, and possibly being murdered.
    A Cultural Billy Club
    Political ‘correctness’ is a cultural billy club employed by people who seek to:
    1. Silence and intimidate others
    2. Viciously label those who don’t agree with their viewpoint
    3. Belittle them for the language used, even if such language is not offensive
    4. Obliterate their careers, if not imperil their safety
    5. Diminish any activity, whatsoever, that doesn’t conform to such verbal fascism

  • “The revolution will be complete when the language is perfect.”

    - 1984

  • Don't forget the MSM's relentless use of the word "baseless" --- not synonyms, just that one word over and over, "baseless" --- to describe challenges to the popular vote count in various states in the 2020 election.  This is closely tied to Saul Alinsky's advice to "freeze the target" --- no better way, that to seize upon one word, keep hammering everyone over the head with it, so that when they hear that word, they'll immediately associate it with Trump supporters' objections, and on the other hand, when people think or hear of those objections, that one word, "baseless" will pop into their minds.  It's conditioning worthy of Pavlov and his dog.

  • Indeed, that is one of the huge and important themes in 1984. "Newspeak", by controlling language, controls the thoughts and our very ability to form concepts. Fascinating, and diabolical.

    One other way, and even faithful Catholics talk this way, is when people refer to an upcoming birth as "we're going to have a baby", "I'm going to be a father", and so on.  No, friend, there is no "going to" about it --- you HAVE a baby, you ARE a father.  The only thing that is different, is as the real estate agent would say, location, location, location.

    Though our numbers are small, we have the truth, we ultimately win this thing (as long as we die in the state of grace).  So let's start acting like it.  Let's start talking like it.

  • “The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better.”

    Aas And another great Orwellian quote you can use against our enemies, or at least as an icebreaker.

    “” “”” I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane”

    Good point.
    Yes we’re going to have a baby ... when we’ve paid of the boat
    we’re going to have a baby ... when Junior is 2
    we’re going to have a baby ... when We’ve finished our studies.
    we’re going to have a baby ... when We get our own home
    we’re going to have a baby ... when........
    Yes from the first moment of conception you have a baby.

    Let it be what God has planned, His new Eden where You reign.
