The Obama Deception HQ Full length version
The Obama Deception is a hard-hitting film that completely destroys the myth that Barack Obama is working for the best interests of the American people.
The Obama phenomenon is a hoax carefully crafted by the captains of the New World Order. He is being pushed as savior in an attempt to con the American people into accepting global slavery.
We have reached a critical juncture in the New World Order’s plans. It’s not about Left or Right: it’s about a One World Government. The international banks plan to loot the people of the United States and turn them into slaves on a Global Plantation.
Covered in this film: who Obama works for, what lies he has told, and his real agenda. If you want to know the facts and cut through all the hype, this is the film for you.
Watch the Obama Deception and learn how:
- Obama is continuing the process of transforming America into something that resembles Nazi Germany, with forced National Service, domestic civilian spies, warrantless wiretaps, the destruction of the Second Amendment, FEMA camps and Martial Law.
- Obama’s handlers are openly announcing the creation of a new Bank of the World that will dominate every nation on earth through carbon taxes and military force.
- International bankers purposefully engineered the worldwide financial meltdown to bankrupt the nations of the planet and bring in World Government.
- Obama plans to loot the middle class, destroy pensions and federalize the states so that the population is completely dependent on the Central Government.
- The Elite are using Obama to pacify the public so they can usher in the North American Union by stealth, launch a new Cold War and continue the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Tangle of Young Lips, a Sex Rebellion in Chile
SANTIAGO, Chile — It is just after 5 p.m. in what was once one of Latin America’s most sexually conservative countries, and the youth of Chile are bumping and grinding to a reggaetón beat. At the Bar Urbano disco, boys and girls ages 14 to 18 are stripping off their shirts, revealing bras, tattoos and nipple rings.
The place is a tangle of lips and tongues and hands, all groping and exploring. About 800 teenagers sway and bounce to lyrics imploring them to “Poncea! Poncea!”: make out with as many people as they can.
And make out they do — with stranger after stranger, vying for the honor of being known as the “ponceo,” the one who pairs up the most.
Chile, long considered to have among the most traditional social mores in South America, is crashing headlong into that reputation with its precocious teenagers. Chile’s youths are living in a period of sexual exploration that, academics and government officials say, is like nothing the country has witnessed before.
“Chile’s youth are clearly having sex earlier and testing the borderlines with their sexual conduct,” said Dr. Ramiro Molina, director of the University of Chile’s Center for Adolescent Reproductive Medicine and Development.
The sexual awakening is happening through a booming industry for 18-and-under parties, an explosion of Internet connectivity and through Web sites like Fotolog, where young people trade suggestive photos of each other and organize weekend parties, some of which have drawn more than 4,500 teenagers. The online networks have emboldened teenagers to express themselves in ways that were never customary in Chile’s conservative society.
“We are not the children of the dictatorship; we are the children of democracy,” said Michele Bravo, 17, at a recent afternoon party. “There is much more of a rebellious spirit among young people today. There is much more freedom to explore everything.”
The parents and grandparents of today’s teenagers fought hard to give them such freedoms and to escape the book-burning times of Gen. Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship. But in a country that legalized divorce only in 2004 and still has a strict ban on abortion, the feverish sexual exploration of the younger generation is posing new challenges for parents and educators. Sex education in public schools is badly lagging, and the pregnancy rate among girls under 15 has been on the rise, according to the Health Ministry.
Indeed, adolescent sexuality has changed throughout Latin America, Dr. Ramiro said, and underlying much of the newfound freedom is an issue that societies the world over are grappling with: the explosion of explicit content and social networks on the Internet.
Chilean society was shaken last year when a video of a 14-year-old girl eagerly performing oral sex on a teenage boy on a Santiago park bench was discovered on a video-hosting Web site. The episode became a national scandal, stirring finger-pointing at the girl’s school, at the Internet provider — at everyone, it seemed, but the boys who captured the event on a cellphone and distributed the video.
Chile’s stable, market-based economy has helped to drive the changes, spurring a boom in consumer spending and credit unprecedented in the country’s history. Chile has become Latin American’s biggest per-capita consumer of digital technology, including cellphones, cable television and Internet broadband accounts, according to a study by the Santiago consulting firm Everis and the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Navarra in Spain.
Chileans are plugged into the Internet at higher rates than other South Americans, and the highest use is among children ages 6 to 17. Therein lies a central factor in the country’s newfound sexual exploration, said Miguel Arias, a psychologist and head of the Santiago consulting firm Divergente.
Fotolog, a photo-sharing network created in the United States, took off in the last two years in this country. Today Chile, which has a population of 16 million, has 4.8 million Fotolog accounts, more than any other country, the company says. Again, children ages 12 to 17 hold more than 60 percent of the accounts.

Addicted to Modern Civilization and Technology?
Here is a support group, just started, to discuss our feelings and experiences, as well as to share healthy coping strategies for regaining a more balanced and connected life.
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/moderncivsupport/
The reason that I began this group is because I have been hearing a
need for it in my day to day life. People in my day to day real life
as well as online have shared feelings and experiences that suggest
such group as this would be valuable to many people.
There are several uses that I can see for this group. As a place to
share our experiences and feelings about how enmeshed we might be in
technological dependence and how completely plugged in to modern
civilization seem to be.
In sharing our experiences and feelings, we can offer suggestions on
how we might disengage from this situation and make stronger
connections to the natural environment.
We can share articles and other information that is related to our
recovery and healthy, vital lives.
Also, it would be good to explore what “modern civilization” and “over
dependence on technology” means to each one of us. What would a life
free of these things look like? What does our ideal life and world
look like? Can we achieve these ideals? How?

War on Terror is class war by other means
“War on Terror is class war by other means — to keep you from asking for real protection from true menace, the landlords of our nation give you fake protection from manufactured dangers. And they remind you to be afraid every time you fly to see Aunt Millie and have to give up your hemorrhoid ointment to the underpaid guy in the bell-hop suit with a security badge.”

Freedom! Lakota Sioux Indians Declare Sovereign Nation Status
Happy New Year a little early!
Look at what I found today! Can it be true? I strongly recommend checking out the original site! http://www.lakotafreedom.com/index.html
Here is a summary from http://www.realitysandwich.com/breakaway
Breakaway
Morgan Maher
In an apparently legal move, the Lakota Nation is unilaterally withdrawing from treaties signed with the United States of America and creating their own country.
Native American rights activist Russel Means said “the new country would issue its own passports and driving licences, and living there would be tax-free — provided residents renounce their US citizenship.”
The journey towards independance has been in the works for 33 years, a response to rampant oppression, lower life spans, high infant mortality rates and high suicide rates experienced as a result of US violation of treaties.
Anyone living in the five-state area that encompasses Lakota territory is free to join.

"dreaming the world awake"
http://www.realitysandwich.com/about
Reality Sandwich is a web magazine for this time of intense transformation. Our subjects run the gamut from sustainability to shamanism, alternate realities to alternative energy, remixing media to re-imagining community, holistic healing techniques to the promise and perils of new technologies. We hope to spark debate and engagement by offering a forum for voices ranging from the ecologically pragmatic to the wildly visionary (which, to our delight, sometimes turn out to be the one and the same). Counteracting the doom-and-gloom of the daily news, Reality Sandwich is a platform for voices conveying a different vision of the transformations we face. Our goal is to inspire psychic evolution and a kind of earth alchemy.
For the launch of the site, we’ve assembled dozens of regular contributors who will post a variety of content, including thought pieces and essays, short news stories, video clips, and audio podcasts.
As Reality Sandwich develops, we will become much more than a traditional online magazine. Reality Sandwich will merge media with a social network that facilitates connections between the members of our international community. As our features present visionary ideas and new tools for sustainable living, the social network will support our members in using these new concepts and techniques in their own lives, as well as facilitating discussions about their own journeys of discovery.
We hope you will register to become a member of Reality Sandwich. As a member, you can write comments about blog posts, take part in the online forum, and receive Reality Sandwich email announcements and updates. You also get a public profile page on the site, so you can say who you are and what interests you. The “contact” feature on your profile page allows other members to send you messages – without revealing your email address to them. (To use this feature, you have to click the “personal contact form” box toward the bottom of the Account Settings page in your profile.) Soon we will introduce the full social networking component.
Also check out our special announcements and newsletter for information about Reality Sandwich events around the country. Our goal is to have the Reality Sandwich community extend organically, from virtual contacts to real-world interactions. We realize, and appreciate, that the real processes of evolution and self-development takes place far away from computer screens and jingling cell phones, and we intend to bridge the gap between the digital and physical realm. Our hope is that Reality Sandwich will enrich the lives of its users in directly tangible and meaningful ways.
The name “Reality Sandwich” is borrowed from a work by the Beat poet Allen Ginsberg – it is a prime example of his use of startling verbal juxtapositions to suggest new ideas and connections. We’re grateful to the Allen Ginsberg Trust for their blessing and encouragement, and suggest you check out what they’re up to.
The web development was accomplished by the virtuosos of CivicActions, a firm of free and open source software consultants. They’ve built the site using the popular open source publishing system Drupal. We understand that open source software, and a sharing attitude toward intellectual property in general, is crucial for revitalizing the commons and inspiring new forms of social initiatives.
For the next couple of months we will be in a “beta” phase. We’ll test things out, see what works, add new features, and reinvent as we go. This is a bootstrap operation which we intend to build into a viable, sustainable company that pays its heavy lifters. During the process, we look forward to hearing your feedback on all aspects of the site.
Some Native American prophesies talk about this era as the time of “dreaming the world awake.” So let’s wake up together, and dream.

Ophiuchus, The Burning Tower, and The Doppelgänger Universe
Approximately 13,000 years ago the Atlantean’s were facing almost identical trials and tribulations as we are today. Their choice: Nuclear Holocaust or human utopia. They were aligning with Ophiuchus – the lost 13th sign of the zodiac – which symbolizes alignment with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, – and the choice of ascension for mankind. There are radioactive isotopes that look like cluster bombs in northern Scandinavia and the northeastern united states that date back to Atlantean times – and many have theorized that this was an ancient nuclear war between the Atlanteans and rival factions – which ultimately resulted in their annihilation.
Hopefully we decide to alter our Doppelgänger history – to rise above such a catastrophe and end the time loop once and for all.
When the book of time turns to blank pages – and the prophets are blocked from viewing the future – It is not written that this will be the end of all things – but a new beginning – A phoenix from the ashes – an opportunity for the human race to write a new book – and fill it’s pages with all the beauty of the cosmos. Once and for all – we can claim our rightful position – on the throne of creation – as exploratory citizens of the universe.

Galactic Alignment, Floyd, and The Hyperdimensional Bees
This video is dedicated to the late Syd Barrett and the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest albums of all time, “Piper at the Gates of Dawn”
A lot of you have probably been hearing the ‘buzz’ about the disappearing bees. Almost every news story prints a quote attributed to Albert Einstein. The quote goes: “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left.”
Animals sense danger and natural disasters, but even if it was human contaminates that were killing them off, it still would bee an atrocity to mother nature.
So why the hexagon.. Why do bees have the ability to sense hyper dimensional etheric energy.. Why have they been disappearing lately.. There have been articles printed that a virus is killing them off.. but in my opinion they are simply hypersensitive to earth vibration.. and as we approach the galactic center.. energies of the earth grid will become five to ten times more photogenically and geometrically advanced. Perhaps the bees sense this.. perhaps they are warning us of great change with their absence. Perhaps we should listen.
Thanks so much to Todd Campbell from “Through the Looking Glass” and William Henry for help with the narration on this one as I have been having health problems as of late.

Bridge Terrorism, Conformity, and The 11th of September
We are on the verge of an important milestone in our world’s political history. State-sponsored false flag operations, the central weapon of governments seeking a pretext for war and domestic repression can be eliminated forever. George Santayana wrote: “Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it.” Today we have an opportunity to learn from our past and forge a new era in human sovereignty while righting the scales of justice. Horrible crimes against humanity were committed on 9/11 and the true criminals need to be identified and removed from positions of power in our world.
I think it’s also very important to state that the Illuminati officials who orchestrated the 9/11 Mega Ritual were actually serving humanity a purpose, albeit a rather cruel one. Without “evil” or suffering there would be no cause for unification or evolution of consciousness. The Earth would become a stagnant pool in a Utopian society because there would be no lesson to be learned, no sickness to cure, and no hatred to absolve. They are apart of us as we are apart of them.. and as we approach the great change and 2012 please try and remember that the universe will unfold exactly as it should.

Temples of Damanhur
Eighth wonder of the world? The stunning temples secretly carved out below ground by ‘paranormal’ eccentric
Last updated at 09:58am on 22nd November 2007
Nestling in the foothills of the Alps in northern Italy, 30 miles from the ancient city of Turin, lies the valley of Valchiusella. Peppered with medieval villages, the hillside scenery is certainly picturesque.
But it is deep underground, buried into the ancient rock, that the region’s greatest wonders are concealed.

Magick and Psychotherapy
. . . Magick and Psychotherapy
Modern magick and psychotherapy share a number of commonalties. Both attempt to empower the individual, both attempt to discern the relationship of the individual to the universe, both attempt to make that relationship as functional, in terms of the individual’s goals, as possible. Although many magicians might disagree, magick is also an attempt by the magician to integrate disparate elements of his or her personality into a unified whole, which is, of course, a primary goal in psychotherapy. This is not to say that magick is psychotherapy. Magick is clearly a quite different field of human endeavor. Psychotherapy generally has a sociological goal, that is the development of personality assets that allow the individual to function within society in an easy and comfortable manner. Magicians generally could care less about social approval, although they might well seek the approval of their magickal peers.
Psychodynamic approaches to psychotherapy (also known as psychoanalysis) seek to overcome defenses so that repressed materials can be uncovered, insight into personal motivation can be achieved, and unresolved childhood issues can be controlled. Psychoanalysis, probably because of its dismal success rate and enormous expense, has now pretty much given way to psychopharmacological interventions among psychiatrists. However, servitor creation and deployment certainly uses psychoanalytic techniques, to the extent that the magician attempts to discover obsessional thought patterns, tries to find out exactly what it is that he or she wants, and uses the material of his or her own psychological history as part of the material in the development of the servitor. The primary difference is that psychoanalysis seeks to bring repressed materials to the surface so that they can dissipate (if, in fact they do), while chaos magicians mine their own repressions and obsessions for energy to empower creations of their own imaginations, a goal that many psychiatrists might regard as being quite contrary to mental health.
Rather than looking at chaos magick in terms of its therapeutic uses as a psychodynamic form of therapy it may be more accurate to define it as a modality that looks remarkably similar to that adopted by situationalist or contextual psychologists. Situationalism, a view of personality championed by Walter Mischel argues that whatever consistency of behavior that is observable is largely determined by the characteristics of the situation rather than any internal personality types or traits. From this somewhat radical perspective it is arguable that personality does not actually exist, but is a construct placed by an observer on responses that an individual has to his or her environment. In other words, personality is contained in those behavior patterns the observer chooses to regard. Similarities in patterns of behavior result from similarities in the situation the individual encounters rather than any underlying traits or characteristics the individual might contain. This fluid conception of personality is integral to Chaos Magic which argues that it is not so much any internal validity (or consistency!) of belief structures that a magician may adopt that are important, but rather the tenacity with which the a magician can hold a belief during the period contained by the magical rite. Chaos magicians tend to be results oriented, more concerned, that is, with whether a magical rite works than with its consistency with any encompassing belief structures. Consequently the Chaos magician is quite content with adopting radically different personality characteristic than those with which he or she may find comfortable outside the space and period of the magical rite. Phil Hine, for example, cites a magician, who, wishing to pass a test in mathematics at college adopted the personality (to the best of his ability) of Mr. Spock from Star Trek for three days before the exam, and then passed the test with no problems. The magical practice of invocation, in which the practitioner adopts the personality characteristics of the deity or entity he or she invokes, also suggests that possession rituals are primarily situationist in underlying theory. The situation here is the expectation that the invoked God, demon, or entity will act in certain ways. Jan Fries, one of the clearest writers on magic derived from A.O.Spare, writes of the nearly epileptic seizures of contemporary Japanese spirit mediums:
“Dramatic healings have much to do with play acting and giving the audience the entertainment it desires. The medium or shaman pretends the eternal ‘as if’ which becomes the ‘as is’ in the act of doing.”
To summarize, then, Chaos Magick is distinguished by its empirical approach to magic (techniques that do not actualize the magician’s desires are discarded), by an assertion that personality is a construct comprised of belief structures the individual chooses to regard as containing consistent and constant elements, and by the idea that the primary obstacle to the actualization of a desire through a magical rite is the interference of the conscious mind. The underlying concept here is that there exists an unconscious, perhaps even a collective unconscious, termed by Jan Fries “the Deep Mind” and by A.O.Spare “Kia”, but an acceptance of this idea, because of the situationalist approach of Chaos magicians, not necessary to the successful fulfillment of desires through magical rituals. It is, rather, part of the argument, a method to persuade Chaos magicians that the techniques may actually work, but the primary function is rhetorical, not substantive. This is, of course, a radical approach to magic, not to mention psychology, but it can be substantiated as an effective approach among certain individuals. To be sure, chaos magicians routinely use chaos magickal techniques for personal psychotherapeutic goals.
Phil Hine recognized this in his User’s Guide:
“A purely psychodynamic model of Servitor operation would state that our psyche is made up of a very large cluster of forces which can be projected as intelligences, complexes, or subpersonalities (whether you’re into magick, NLP, Jungian Psychotherapy, etc). These mental forces enable us to do some things but prevent us from doing others. By consciously realigning and redirecting these energies we can create Servitors which will enable us to do things which we couldn’t do before, such as refrain from compulsive behaviors, thoughts, or emotions. In these terms, a Servitor is a conscious form of redirecting these largely unconscious entities so that they work for us.”
I believe that chaos magickal techniques would actually prove quite valuable to psychotherapists in the treatment of abnormal behavior, but that, I’m afraid, is a topic for an entirely different essay.

A Space Oddity
Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)
Ulysses
It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these barren crags,
Match’d with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.
I cannot rest from travel: I will drink
Life to the lees: all times I have enjoyed
Greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those
That loved me, and alone; on shore, and when
Through scudding drifts the rainy Hyades
Vexed the dim sea: I am become a name;
For always roaming with a hungry heart
Much have I seen and known; cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments,
Myself not least, but honoured of them all;
And drunk delight of battle with my peers;
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
I am part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough
Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades
For ever and for ever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!
As though to breath were life. Life piled on life
Were all too little, and of one to me
Little remains: but every hour is saved
From that eternal silence, something more,
A bringer of new things; and vile it were
For some three suns to store and hoard myself,
And this grey spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.
This is my son, mine own Telemachus,
To whom I leave the sceptre and the isle —
Well-loved of me, discerning to fulfil
This labour, by slow prudence to make mild
A rugged people, and through soft degrees
Subdue them to the useful and the good.
Most blameless is he, centred in the sphere
Of common duties, decent not to fail
In offices of tenderness, and pay
Meet adoration to my household gods,
When I am gone. He works his work, I mine.
There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail:
There gloom the dark broad seas. My mariners,
Souls that have toil’d, and wrought, and thought with me —
That ever with a frolic welcome took
The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed
Free hearts, free foreheads — you and I are old;
Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

"War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength."
Via: Students for an Orwellian Society (SOS)
http://www.studentsfororwell.org/
War Is Peace
- Oceania (commonly called the US and Britain) is at war with
AfghanistanIraq.
Oceania has always been at war withAfghanistanIraq. - Eurasia (commonly called Russia, Pakistan, etc.) is allied with
Oceania in war against Afghanistan. Eurasia has always
been allied with Oceania. - US Congressman Charlie
Rangel has been
arguing for a return of military conscription (“The Draft”) as—so he
tells the public— a way of reducing war. - It’s not easy to capture
someone killed the year before—until you harness the power of
Ingsoc. When you’ve got Ingsoc on your side, though, it’s so easy that
the US did it
again. - Three cheers for Homeland Security drone
patrols! - In order to fight terrorism, we must cause it,
says Donald Rumsfeld. - It’s
okay that there were no “weapons
of mass destruction” in Iraq; that’s not
why we went to war. It’s equally okay that there are so many of them in Oceania. - The Nobel prize committee has been considering nominating
George Bush and Tony Blair for their prestigious Peace prize. - Just like in 1984‘s Room 101, the Miniluv operations in
Guantánamo Bay were
authorized to “exploit[] a prisoner’s phobias, sometimes using
muzzled dogs in interrogations.” Doubleplusgood! - According
to the Bush administration, the Duelfer reportwhich conclusively showed that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq
actually justifies the war in Iraq. - “I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we’re
really talking about peace.” — George W. Bush, 43rd President of the
United States - “Protecting [an] Islamic cultural center” involves fighting a war inside it, as the
New York Times on the Web shows.
Freedom Is Slavery
- The Anti-Terrorism
Act ensures US citizens’ freedom by ensuring the FBI‘s ability to
examine their activities. - Security cameras have been placed around the Columbia campus and
around the island of
Manhattan. - If you are buying postage, do not ask for
stamps without flags on them. Such would clearly be a sign of
lack-of-patriotism, and we at SOS are glad to see that the Post Office
is cracking down on it. - We encourage all true citizens of this country to join Operation
TIPS, which, we promise, will help further an Orwellian society in
ways that we at SOS cannot even begin to fathom. - There’s really nothing we can say about DARPA‘s Total
Information
Awareness project except to thank them forall
their
hard
work. - While Victory Gin is not (as far as we know) yet available, the
sale of freedom
fries is an important first step; freedom fries and freedom
toast are also now available in
Congress. Also, check out Victory Beer, and W Ketchup - The truly Orwellian and praiseworthy Transportation Safety
Administration gets our thanks for spotting
anti-Americanism in passengers’ baggage. - Flying while wearing certain buttons may not be permitted.
It is, apparently, okay to wear a button saying, “Hooray for Tony
Blair,” though. - Similarly, carrying a note stating
that you do not have a bomb in your bag is equivalent to saying that you
do have a bomb. - When flying, you may use the toilet. However, if it is occupied,
do not wait
in line for it to become free. Only a terrorist would do that. - We’ve been notified that Apple Computer company, which once made
public anti-Orwellianism pronouncements, is now coming
around to our side. (Note: Link contains a quicktime movie.) - The Junior Anti-Sex League is offering
grants to organizations which support its work. - In London, feel secure beneath the
watchful eyes of Transport
for London. - We’re pleased to see the subpoena
of the National Lawyer’s Guild and other anti-war activists. It’s time
to keep those activists in
their place. - In the UK, the wrongly
convicted are charged for
their “food and lodgings” while in prison. - A student in Washington state was disciplined and questioned by the
Secret Service for drawing ungood
pictures of the President. - On surveillance cameras: “The value we gain in public safety
far outweighs any perception by the community that this is Big Brother
who’s watching.” — Ron
Huberman, Executive Director, Chicago Office of Emergency
Management - Wearing a t-shirt which says “Protect Our Civil
Liberties” is, of course, obscene, and will get you kicked out
of Bush campaign rallies. - George Orwell Plaza, in Barcelona, has continuous closed-circuit television
recording.
Ignorance Is Strength
- Osama bin Laden’s messages will no longer be shown
in Oceania. This will improve the strength of the bloc. - There is no dissent in this country. Those who disagree with
President Bush are merely confused. - The New York Times published an excellent piece of doublethink in its magazine
section on Sunday 18 November. It is bad that Al-Jazeera fails to take
American positions seriously. It is good that American media doesn’t
take Arab positions seriously. And all this from an Arab-American
scholar who President Bush the First once called “more
anti-Arab than the Israelis.” - Government agencies are requesting that certain government
reports be removed from public libraries. An excellent indication
that SOS is having influence at the highest levels! - The Guardian reports that PR firms have begun
creating false citizens to try and shift the debate on certain key
issues. Big Brother is certainly pleased! - Do not wear a “Give Peace a Chance” t-shirt at the mall,
or carry a protest sign when passing through. It may be
illegal. - It’s good to know that the recent pro-war rallies have been sponsored by Clear Channel—we wouldn’t
want people expressing their opinions without the help of media
conglomerates! - We’re pleased to learn that the government has been
removing information from websites which do not agree with the
current administration’s policies. For example, the CDC‘s website no
longer points out that condoms are an effective means of stopping
sexually transmitted diseases. - Thanks,
Time Magazine for removing articles from your
website! - Reading an article critical of the government is a serious form of
thoughtcrime—and, fortunately, the
FBI takes
such things seriously! - Do not email
President Bush. - Youths in Arabic-speaking countries are encouraged to read Hi
Magazine. - A recent
study showed that thanks to Fox News and other Minitrue
news sources, most
Americans believe untrue things about the war in Iraq. - We are proud to present a special
report on a specific instance of doublethink in the New York
Times. - The FBI urges you not to carry almanacs,
lest you be labeled a terrorist. - The Civil War will
not be taught in US History courses in Georgia. - “Those who cast the votes decide nothing; those who count the votes decide
everything.” — Stalin, a man truly ahead of his time. - In the grandest pro-Orwellian tradition, science is (fortunately) no
longer a tool for objective truth, but rather one to promote
an agenda. Huzzah! - The UC-DavisAggie has published an excellent
article on SOS. - It’s a good thing that the Department of Homeland Security has asked
its employees to be on the lookout for good photo-ops for the
President. - It’s
okay for the government to lie, according to the General Accounting
