Ministry of Truth Timely Update - 06 Jan 2025 - Disqualification

 

Disqualification

Because elections can't be left to voters, and shocked by recent adverse judicial opinions, the Ministries of Truth and Love are empowering officials at any level to remove objectionable opposition candidates in any way possible.  Offenses include inciting speeches, illegal parading, patriotic flag waving, unauthorized desk sitting, and general objections about election irregularities.

Ministry of Truth Timely Update - 08 Nov 2024 - Therapy Duck

 

Therapy Duck

Vulnerable college students need comfort when confronted with the reality that other voters don't view the world the same way that they do.  Responsible administrators need to respond in support by providing comfort animals (e.g. such as Quacktavious the Therapy Duck, baby goats, and dogs).  These self-care safe spaces promote well-being and reduce anxiety in traumatized students, especially when a mostly peaceful protest has not yet been organized.

Ministry of Truth Timely Update - 06 Nov 2024 - Concession Speech

 

Concession Speech

Never give up!  We only "lost" because of traitors to their race, gender, and ethnicity by not supporting the Ministry approved candidates.  Even the liberal media enabled the coup d'etat by reporting that progressive candidates were behind or doing a poor job of getting their message out, discouraging swing-state poll workers from being motivated to find enough votes to ensure victory.  It is simply inconceivable that informed voters would elect someone whose values and agenda are hated by loyalists to the Ministry of Truth.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 05 Nov 2024 - District Elections Officers

 

District Elections Officers

To ensure election integrity and desired outcomes, the Ministry of Love has created an Election Threats Task Force to navigate this extreme threat environment.  Their goal is to protect election officials, staff, and ballot handlers to be "free from threats and intimidation" and to be allowed to fulfill their Ministry ordained tasks without interference or invasive scrutiny.  This task force will "thoroughly" investigate all claims of election fraud by the opposition, and ensure that they are properly dismissed or minimized, since everyone knows that they are just trying to steal the election and subvert democracy.

Truth, Lies, and Politics

We live in a postmodern world where often "truth" is just a label used to justify one's position or to smear another's by claiming that their truths are just lies.  We hear people talk about "their truth" or claim "That is just true to you, but not to me", as if truth is just a matter of opinion with no basis in reality.  How about some clarity?

Truth

Truth is that which corresponds to reality.  This includes actual events, actions taken, and objective facts.  It does not include claimed motivations, or whether one thinks something is good or evil.  It is not subjective truth, which is really nothing more than preference or opinion. 

Lies

Lies are a deliberate, intentional distortions of the truth intended to mislead others.  A difference in opinion or assignment of blame is not a lie.  Philosophical viewpoints that one disagrees with are not lies either.  To lie, one must knowingly tell an untruth with the intent to deceive.

Rhetoric

Rhetoric is the art of how one persuasively engages in debate or speech.  This can include exaggerations, ridicule, bragging, or using extreme examples (i.e. reductio ad absurdum) to make a point.  Saying "Everything my opponent said is a lie" is really not a lie, but it is a tactic.  Likewise fear-mongering to motivate one's base is a tactic used to scare people into accepting a position or candidate.

Media

The modern media has a lot of power, since many people only get their information from the mainstream media.  They have been rightly criticized for being unabashedly biased toward progressive agendas and liberal viewpoints.  In many ways, they are the embodiment of 1984's Ministry of Truth.  They tip the scales by biased reporting, MDM (mis-, dis-, mal-) information labeling, one-sided fact-checking, gaslighting to hide the truth, selective reporting, and even redefining words to support their agendas.  

 

Opinions

Differences of (political) opinion and perspectives are not necessarily lies!  Even if the following are objectionable, debatable, or misleading, they are not lies:

• Belief in who was responsible for the security situation prior to/during the riot at the capital. 
• Claims about what the position of each party is on various issues (e.g. abortion limits or lack thereof). 
• Blame for who is responsible for the current immigration situation -- whether it is ultimately good/bad, the integrity of the vetting process, the demographics of border crossers, and the level of danger from it. 
• Why inflation happened and who was responsible.
• Who gets the credit or blame for the economic situation?
• How the status of America in world standing has been affected by different presidents.  Is it respect or is it embarrassment?
• Who caused or got us into wars?  Did they enable it, show weakness, or even enable/pay off terrorists?
• Who will actually destroy "democracy" if elected?  Strictly speaking, do we even have a true democracy or is it actually a constitutional representative republic?

So the next time you hear one side or the other claim that the other is only telling lies, it might be a good idea to push back and actually ask them what they mean by that.

 

No, Karen, America is not a Democracy!

But wait, the liberal media constantly tells us that we are a democracy and that the evil insurrectionists are out to destroy it.  Well, surprise!  Once again the mainstream media is gaslighting by telling you that you must believe something that is actually not so.

The United States of America was founded as a Constitutional Republic in which elected representatives of the various states make decisions, promise to defend the Constitution, and to govern the country faithfully -- with checks and balances.  Our representatives are selected via a democratic process, which consists of one vote per eligible citizen (properly registered and verified).  A pure democracy is one in which a bare majority rules over the minority (e.g. 50.01% can vote to take all the money from the other 49.99%).  Note: the electoral college was setup in view of this reality, to protect our system of government from rash public opinion and mob rule.  

Generally the right to vote is contingent on meeting certain eligibility requirements.  These include: 

• being a citizen of the United States 
• being a valid resident of the appropriate country/state/locality 
• being of legal age (generally 18 years of age) 
• and to be legally registered to vote by the established deadline(s).  

The right to vote is for eligible citizens, not just residents or those otherwise in the country, legally or not.  You do not have the right to vote multiple ballots for the same election, after death, or for another person.  When political groups refuse to enforce identity verification or other reasonable voting checks and balances, one has to wonder "Why?"  

To challenge illegal voting methods and irregularities is not insurrection.  Rather it is a right, and really an obligation, to 

• challenge questionable election tactics and violations of law
• file legal challenges to illegal changes to voting laws and practices
• demand effective partisan and nonpartisan poll watchers and fully open ballot counting
• require verified chain of custody of ballots and all voting systems 
• insist on objective and effective recounts, when deemed necessary
• expect the government to aggressively go after and look for voter fraud, instead of just allowing them to claim that there is nothing to see 
• object to election certifications when there is credible evidence of fraud or irregularities

All of the above are rights and responsibilities under our system of government.  However, the real danger to our system of government lies in the abuse of power by those who are supposed to faithfully execute the laws of the United States.  

We are currently living in such dangerous times. 

When courts judicially make laws and rulings that usurp powers constitutionally granted to other branches of government -- we are in danger!  When a president, or his executive branch, bypasses Congress and effectively implements laws by fiat -- we are in danger!  When members of Congress make expedient or political decisions, or fight among themselves, rather than acting in our best interest -- we are in danger!  When a Commander in Chief cannot effectively govern and lets radical extremists make policy and implement regulations -- we are in danger!  When the judicial system is abused and used to persecute political enemies, and lawfare is allowed to run unchecked -- we are in danger!  

So when you are gaslighted by claims that a change in leadership would lead to totalitarianism, and hear the Karens scream that the end of "Democracy" is coming, realize that they are just really looking in the mirror and fear their loss of power and control.  

It is time for a change!
