May 2013

you resort to a flat denial of history and reality:

The proliferation of drones in the US, promoted through federal grants, "does not exist."
The federally coordinated, brutal crackdown on Occupy that we all witnessed "never happened."

Keep repeating that the relentless parade of betrayals, which we all witness ourselves, every single day, is either the fault of Republican obstructionism, or is not really happening...

War is Peace.
Freedom is Slavery.
Ignorance is Strength.
The chocolate ration has been increased.
Drone murders are Legal, Ethical, and Wise.
Chained CPI is Superlative and Protects the Poor.
Obama proposed cuts in Social Security because he Opposes them
and
The Betrayals on that List Never Really Happened

This, my friends, is how Orwellian the Third Way propaganda has been forced to become.
