The Ministry Of Truth..


In George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, the Ministry of Truth is Oceania's propaganda ministry. It is responsible for any necessary falsification of historical events. The word truth in the title Ministry of Truth should warn, by definition, that the "minister" will self-serve its own "truth"; the title implies the willful fooling of posterity using "historical" archives to show "in fact" what "really" happened. As well as administering truth, the administration deploys a new tongue-in-cheek language amongst administrators called Newspeak, in which, for example, truth is understood to mean statements like 2 + 2 = 5 when the situation warrants.


It is one of the four ministries that govern Oceania. However, as with the other Ministries in the novel, the Ministry of Truth is a misnomer and in reality serves the opposite of its purported namesake.

In Newspeak, the ministry is known as Minitrue.

The Ministry of Truth Calls Obama Administration policy, "Orwellian"


Oh the Irony.  The unmitigated purveyors of ForwardThought, the Administrations own Ministry of Truth, the official propaganda arm of the Obama Administration, MSNBC with their own pied piper, Rachel Maddow, calls the American secrecy on Drone Strikes "One of the More Orwellian things about being an American Citizen in the twenty first century", this is doublespeak for a "news" outlook unwilling to truly criticize the Obama Administration.

When you consider the withering criticism from the MSNBC Ministry of "Truth" about the Bush Administrations not allowing habeas corpus rights to non-citizen illegal combatants compared to the soft handed, carefully worded mild disagreement with the Judge, Jury and Executioner reality of Drone Warfare carried out by Obama personally selected targets; the hypocrisy is staggering.

With Obama's Approval, Congress Extends FISA Wireless Wiretapping Act To 2017

With the Blessing of Barack Husein Obama, the Senate on Friday reauthorized for five years broad electronic eavesdropping powers that legalized and expanded the warrantless wiretapping program.

Barack Obama said: “Given the legitimate threats we face, providing effective intelligence collection tools with appropriate safeguards is too important to delay.”

 
 

The
FISA Amendments Act, (.pdf) which was expiring Monday at midnight, allows the government to electronically eavesdrop on Americans’ phone calls and e-mails without a probable-cause warrant so long as one of the parties to the communication is believed outside the United States. The communications may be intercepted “to acquire foreign intelligence information.”


The
House approved the measure in September. President Barack Obama, who said the spy powers were a national security priority, is expected to quickly sign the package before the law expires in the coming days. In the House, the package passed 301-118 and it passed the Senate on a 73-23 vote.

The controversial bill, which allows federal agencies to eavesdrop on communications and review email without following an open and public warrant process, has long been a target for privacy and rights groups such as the
Electronic Frontier Foundation and the American Civil Liberties Union, which is involved in a Supreme Court case over FISA.

The FISA Amendments Act gives the government nearly carte blanche spying powers.

After Obama signs the legislation, the spy powers and warrantless wiretapping program won’t expire until December 31, 2017.


As our rights and liberties erode and the reach of government expands and intrudes into our lives, liberties and the pursuit of happiness, there must be somewhere that we take a stand, we need to start asking our politicians how they will vote on these issues BEFORE we elect them.

The Ministry Of Truth


Given that MSNBC Anchors get called personally into the Whitehouse chambers and apparently coordinate message with Obama, MSNBC becomes an arm of the administration, or as in George Orwell's 1984, the official propaganda arm of the Regime, THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH.
The elements I use are the Big Brother eye in the Obama logo, the AMSOC slogan derived from the Orwellian INGSOC for English Socialism, the communist "Forward" slogan used by both the Obama Regime and MSNBC, and the Orwellian slogans, "Ignorance is Strength", "Freedom is Slavery" , "War is Peace" representing the DoubleThink concept of Orwell's 1984.
I also introduce formally the "ForwardThought" term into the newspeak dictionary for Tyrannical Governments.

AMSOC - FORWARD TOWARDS AMERICAN SOCIALISM


FORWARD COMRADES!
 
So this is a play on INGSOC from George Orwell's 1984 - A Novel about leftist government Tyranny.  INGSOC was the acronym for English Socialism, so I created AMSOC - American Socialism.  The Obama logo has the Big Brother eye in it, I probably need to decrease the transparency on it so that it pops more.  I used the Communist phrase of "Forward" just as the Obama administration does as does the Ministry of Truth: MSNBC.  It is still a work in progress.
