has suggested that either the federal government, or possibly the United Nations operate a full blown ministry of truth to sift through the facts presented by people on a daily basis involving political debate. I guess a free and independent press, as encouraged by the Constitution of our great nation is not good enough for Slick Willie. He does not feel as though his side of the aisle gets a fair shake when people are free to talk about what he and his side are up to. On his side of the aisle we have ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, HLN, Time, Newsweek, NYT, WaPO, Reuters, AP, BBC, and every other major newspaper in the country. On the other side of the aisle, there is Fox News, and that’s about it. President Clinton feels as though those few voices in opposition are just a little more than he can fight against, that we now need a government agency to do the job of an independent press. The left has always known that the American people would not willingly go along with what their true intentions were. That is why they spend so much time on their messaging. They know that they need to spin their Marxist beliefs in phraseology with different meanings. It just doesn’t work as well if there are dirty little independent truth tellers out there. So now, President Clinton suggests something literally straight out of the dystopian nightmarish society created as fiction by George Orwell’s 1984 as a needed piece of today’s world. President Clinton’s suggestion in this instance is truly Orwellian in nature. While I agree that much of our media is feeding us baloney instead of fact, I would feel even less comfortable with a government agency being put in charge of censorship of the facts, deciding not only what was true, but eventually, which facts we were allowed to know, and eventually, which lies would be substituted for facts for our own good. At least President Clinton did experience one useful slip of the tongue while making his statements.
“That is, it would be like, I don’t know, National Public Radio or BBC or something like that, except it would have to be really independent and they would not express opinions, and their mandate would be narrowly confined to identifying relevant factual errors” he said. “And also, they would also have to have citations so that they could be checked in case they made a mistake. Somebody needs to be doing it, and maybe it’s a worthy expenditure of taxpayer money.”
Slick Willie admitted that the main stream media were actually biased. Something many of us have known for years.
In charge of the Ministry of Truth, well who does President Clinton believe should be charged with that. Among his choices are the United Nations. That’s right, the organization that gave us Moamar Kaddafy Duck as the head of the Council on Human Rights, a body that includes Iran, China, Syria, and Saudi Arabia as its members. Who will ever forget that beacon of integrity highlighted by the Oil for Food program which saw Hundreds of Billions of Dollars being funnelled into private bank accounts of the UN’s brass and middle management. Then there is the other version of UN truth called the child sex slavery scandal of the upper Congo region. I don’t know about you, but I want those guys in charge of telling me what I have the right to believe. Bill Clinton’s other choice, good old Uncle Sam. While I don’t hate my government, I will say that we sometimes elect people that I do not agree with, and some times have a hard time respecting. Without naming names like Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, I would like to ask a few serious questions. Do you honestly believe that even an independent agency would remain so for very long? Elected officials from one party or another would be charged with appointing people to that ministry, and that would effectively end all pretense of being non-partisan. Let us pretend you have trusted each and every President during your lifetime. You had an admiration for both George Bush and Barack Obama, not only would that be improbable, it would make you the single most naive person on the planet. How would you feel about that insane level of trust extending into the future for an unlimited amount of time? The person who will be President in 200 years has yet to be born. How is it possible to give that person the same blind trust, with out losing every ounce of intellectual integrity? In our everyday society, being a proven liar is frowned upon. Most people do not want to be lied to in their personal or professional lives. Lying is the norm for our politicians. They do it so smoothly and so frequently, I am not certain if an elected official is even capable of discerning the difference for even themselves. Is this really our best choice for deciding what truth we will all know?
I think we are much better off establishing facts for ourselves. It has worked for the last couple of hundred years, and is the best course to follow for the future as well. Mr. Clinton, keep your Ministry of Truth, and feed that crap to Hillary. She, and possibly Wolf Blitzer would be the only ones dumb enough to buy it.
The political left is dropping all pretences of its affiliation with Marxism. How long before our center right nation realizes this? I realize that the main stream media will do their level best to hide this from the rest of us, but the Ministry of Truth, that really should be a solid clue for even the sleepiest of Giants.
