You Cannot Believe What Obama Says, Watch What He Does: Newspeak -- From The Movie 1984

The Newspeak sophistry of Obama and his regime is truly amazing. It's probably because most do not understand what is being said and how it is being said. These people use a language that is breathtaking with their in your face lies. It only works because the lame stream media refuses to translate and just plays along with their lies.

You must do the translation.

What is sophistry? It's an old Greek word that is defined thusly:  -- subtly deceptive reasoning or argumentation. Combine the two, you get Obama-speak.

Want more, then read George Orwell's book "1984" and see what Newspeak is all about, the language of opposites. It describes perfectly what the language of the old Soviet Union looked like, and bears more than a passing resemblance to the lies told today by Obama about the jobs report. Yes what he said was all lies.

To give a simple example of Newspeak - The word free still existed in Newspeak, but could only be used in such statements as "The dog is free from lice" or "This field is free from weeds." It could not be used in its old sense of "politically free" or "intellectually free," since political and intellectual freedom no longer existed even as concepts, and were therefore of necessity nameless, had no meaning.

If Obama-speak sounds a lot like political correctness, yes it is, with a subtle twist, the argumentation -- Or as most people would define it, the lies he tells. That's why Obama may seem to you to be always telling lies. From your fact base and language reference it is lies. To the ignorant people it may even sound brilliant, principally because most people do not reason while listening, they just listen. Add the teleprompter seance effect of his speaking and you see right through his gift -- Of Obama-speak.

Know the truth, hold to the truth -- You are going to need it with Obama-speak.

1984




Newspeak, the language of Oceania, one of the three large superstates, run by the Ingsoc Party(English Socialism). In America, we watch big brother, in Oceania, big brother watches you.

Ingsoc is stated to have originated following a socialist revolution, but as The Party is constantly rewriting history it is impossible to tell precisely how it occurred. It is known, however, that Oceania was established following the merger of the Americas with the British Empire. Big Brother and Emmanuel Goldstein were said to have led this revolution, with Goldstein eventually changing sides and turning against Big Brother. In addition to rewriting history, The Party is also constantly rewriting the language to restrict the true meanings of words and the ideas behind them, hence, "English Socialism" became the shorter and more esoteric "Ingsoc."

Gearge Orwell, the futurist?

Al Gore's 1984

Get Used To It

First some simple truths ...
  • All taxes are paid by people like you and me.
  • Free is never free, YOU will always pay for your free stuff.
  • If the price is too high, the supply is too low.
  • Corporations don't print money, they sell products.
  • Government prints money.
  • The world's economies run on oil.
  • And lastly, revolutionaries are always Communists.

Stagflation -- persistent inflation combined with stagnant consumer demand and relatively high unemployment. Under normal conditions one would expect inflation to heat up the economy. In other words, prices are going up while the economy is going down. The word was coined during the crippling inflationary period of the 1970's -- Jimmy Carter's America.

The reason the FED generally increases interest rates during periods of higher inflation -- This helps to cool the economy and prevent inflation from spiraling out of control. The primary cause of inflation is an increase in the money supply. It's what bailouts do to the economy. It's a little like stomping on the accelerator while at the same time standing on the brakes, bad for your car, bad for the economy.

So what is going on now? The economy is going flat while interest rates are going down, and inflation is skyrocketing. See the problem? The trigger was that government feel good experiment in the form of "ADDI 2003", The American Dream Downpayment Initiative", the Act that made housing loan qualification discrimination -- And allowed illegals, all manner of unqualified buyers and then high end speculators ( flippers ) to buy house, no money down, no credit check. The bills are coming due now, and someone has to clean up the mess. Around here, condo and house flippers got caught in the down draft big time.

Back to basics ...
Energy costs drive the price of everything in America. Raise energy costs, the price of all goods goes shooting up, like today. Tax cuts and bailouts don't work, because costs keep climbing. Well, now we have made the dumbest mistake of all, we coupled energy costs to our food costs. Even Jimmy Carter wasn't this stupid. Biofuels will destroy the world by starvation and deforestation -- Count on it.

Another way to look at it, it's Carter-McGovern Democrats trademark liberal economic policy. A command and control "tax the rich, windfall profits tax, get the oil companies, get Walmart, get the healthcare providers mentality, help unions", Democrats own branding of Marxism. Marxism is fueled with the politics of envy and hate, the objective is "fairness". High energy prices triggered it for Democrat Jimmy Carter, the worst President in US history. Interest rates went to 22% to try and combat high inflation, inflation went to 14% as the money supply was inflated by government policy. The futility was obvious to everyone, except Jimmy Carter. The US and to a large extent the world economy, runs on oil. Oil prices skyrocketed, the economy stalled.

Never forget, government can do little to stimulate the economy, but can do a whole lot to destroy it. Ask Hugo Chavez, a darling of Carter-McGovern Democrats, how it's going in Venezuela -- Venezuela for all practical purposes has stopped as a free market economy, Chavez just steals the oil money for himself, like most dictators do.

Democrats talking worldwide to thugs and dictators resulted in Democrat Jimmy Carter installing the mullahs in Iran, so they could set up their terror shop right in the middle of the world's oil supply, and Mugabe installed in Zimbabwe, so that African blacks could be terrorised by a real murderous dictators.

Ah, the young, they haven't a care, they haven't a clue. They think what is when they were born is what has always been and will always be. How wrong they are.

Don't bother with Wikipedia and Jimmy Carter, it's been so thoroughly white washed by liberal sycophants. You need to go to a library and look him up in a real encyclopedia -- Something I doubt many people do anymore, go to a real library and do research work. Wikipedia is a liberal tripe shop, rewriting history for the benefit of liberalism. Another topic to stay away from in Wikipedia, global warming -- All you get is tripe. Everywhere you see it, just move on, it's probably not true. The scientific literature is your friend, especially peer reviewed science papers, use google scholar.

He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past. -- George Orwell, "1984"
-- Watch the movie, or even better, read the book.

Parting shot -- A gaping chasm lies between the artfully suggested, and the possible, the perfect description of the Hussein campaign.

Soylent Green





A good movie on the Democrats perspective of soup line, command and control America.

I had just recently watched this old classic, and it wasn't so scary as the first times, it felt more true than fiction. By controlling womb to the tomb, you control lifetime. By controlling the past, you control the future. By controlling the present, you control the past.

I am often amazed watching how liberals ferociously rewrite history -- wikipedia is a good example and two subjects they love to whitewash are global warming and the disastrous presidency that was Democrat Jimmy Carter. They are trying to control the past, so they can control the future. If you need access to real history, best get yourself an older printed encyclopaedia.

The Soylent Green film, which is loosely based upon the 1966 science fiction novel Make Room! Make Room!, by Harry Harrison. Another book that portrayed a dark future for mankind, "1984" was made into a movie, and depicts life in a command and control world run by an omnipresent "Big Brother".




Decide for yourself how close to true they are. Life imitates art.
