War As Freedom, And Fraud As Fact

By Greg Felton

�Things like� the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of the political parties� Political language�and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists�is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.� George Orwell, from Politics and the English Language, 1946

Anti-Semitism
This all-purpose epithet of opprobrium is designed to conflate Israel with World Jewry, thereby implying that to attack one means to attack the other. In truth, the term is meaningless, as I wrote in an earlier essay: �Strictly speaking, �semitic� is a linguistic term denoting a family of Afro-Asiatic languages, of which we have today Arabic, Hebrew, Maltese, and the South Arabic languages of northern Ethiopia. Ancient semitic languages included Akkadian, Canaanite, Amorite, Ugaritic, Phoenician, Punic, Aramaic, as well as ancient Hebrew and Syriac.�

The unique association of Jews with Semites serves to reinforce the cult of Jewish victimhood and shut down condemnation of Israel.

Faith-based
This expression dates to the Reagan era and is a euphemism for �Christian.� Because religion has both positive and negative connotations and is often an instrument of repression, radical Christians cannot openly advocate their religion against the secular law or other religions. Also, the U.S. officially has no religion, and the separation of church and state is integral to U.S. democracy.

But �faith� affords the illusion of inclusiveness and absolute virtue. Even science has a faith component, albeit a rational one. Thus, expressions like �faith-based schools,� and �faith-based entertainment� covertly and innocuously serve the agenda of anti-democratic Christian religious exclusivity.

Holocaust denier
To question is not to deny, yet anyone who doubts any part of the received zionist version of what happened to Europe�s Jews is immediately deemed to have committed crimethink. Nowhere is the brainwashing intent of political language more overt than in this nonsense expression. The Lobby demands unconscious acceptance of its orthodoxy, and its use of this and other biased expressions is clearly designed to make a heretical (independent) thought unthinkable.

Hostile entity
This most recent and addition to our political lexicon refers to the new denotation of the Gaza Strip under the elected Hamas government. �Hostile� merely reflects Israel�s bias, so this expression is intellectually corrupt. One cannot say that Israel is a hostile entity (toward Palestine) because that would imply that Palestine has legitimate grievances against Israel. Once stigmatized as hostile, any large scale violence against the Gaza Strip can be made to appear justifiable.

Incitement
Though this term�s meaning is not contorted, its use is highly selective. It is used selectively to demonize critical speech, as in the expression, �Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been charged with incitement.� The point is that Ahmadinejad has pointed out the criminality of Israel�s persecution of Palestinians, and underscored the illegitimacy of the state�s founding, and for this he must be punished. Such comments are deemed to be �incitement� against Jews, even though he said no such thing. (see Anti-Semitism above.)

Right to exist
This expression has no standing in international law and, like anti-Semitism, is a contrivance to skew our minds toward sympathy for Israel. Nevertheless, it plays effectively on our innate sense of fairness and understanding to make Palestinians appear to be implacably hostile. One never speaks of Palestine�s right to exist, or Syria�s, or Iran�s, or Iraq�s. Like �free� in Newspeak, it has only one use.

Terrorist
This term no longer has any objective meaning. It no longer refers to people or groups who use violence to bring about political change. It now is used to label any person, group or government that opposes U.S. and Israeli conduct in the Middle East. The idea that �terrorists� could be resistance fighters or people trying to defend themselves is not admitted. Because one cannot defend a terrorist, the term precludes rational debate. Therefore, the word is invariably preceded by �Muslim,� Islamic� or �Arab� to ensure that the orthodox, zionist connotation comes across.

Moreover, this term has given rise to the nonsensical epithet �Islamofascism,� based on the fatuous assertion that Arab regimes are akin to Nazi Germany. From here, the term war on terrorism is repeatedly invoked to justify repression and mass murder against Isramerica�s enemies.

Doublethink
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doublethink is the act of simultaneously holding two mutually contradictory beliefs
while fervently fooling oneself believing both

e.g.

war is peace
ignorance is strength
freedom is slavery

Hey Igothisguitar why don't you get married to Arjuna?

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.
