The Democrats are fond of saying that they speak for America. That is their first mistake. They don’t speak for at least the 63 million people who voted for President Trump. They might speak for the people who live in the Democrat-run cities. Maybe.
They get away with saying that they speak for America because Pravda USA, the mainstream media and social media, are nothing more these days than an arm of the Democratic Party. So the Democrats say something, the mainstream media and social media, Pravda USA, repeat it endlessly as if it were set in loop motion of a DVD or cassette tape.
Just recently, published here, was an opinion piece advancing the idea that Pravda USA, our mainstream media and social media, much of which is owned by private, independent billionaire Trump-hating people, is perhaps America’s greatest danger.
Which brings us to the information police. It’s not just Pravda USA, the mainstream media and our social media, that act as the information police. If you’re a betting person, you can bet that the information we get has been policed and limited for much longer than the period of time we’re looking at here. Probably, probably most definitely, it goes way back, certainly to the time when there were three TV networks and some radio, and more likely all the way back in our history.
But never has it been more apparent, more insidious and more dangerous than now.
Think about it! When Janet Reno, Obama’s Attorney General, told state attorneys general to prosecute people who came up with scientific findings which differed from the government’s position on climate change, this put information police on a new level.
Imagine! What Janet Reno did was tantamount to changing the very nature and definition of science. Science, she said by doing what she did, is what we say it is.
Remember, as well, most of those people researching climate change were funded by the government. Or, their funding depended upon the government being happy with what they did. Or, their funding was premised by their finding what the government wanted them to find.
This is dangerous stuff. It’s going on all around us with revisionist history, with Progressives dominating the universities and teaching what they want students to know as opposed to our real history.
Still out there somewhere is truth. Truth be told, there are many truths. But in today’s world, the distinction between feelings and facts is muddled. If you feel someone has hurt your feelings, as the lefties do, you can proclaim them a racist, a fascist a whatever-you-want-to-proclaim them, and if you’re on that lefty side, Pravda USA, our mainstream media and social media, will make it so.
It gets worse, or better depending upon which side you’re on and which pill you’ve swallowed. The mainstream media, Pravda USA, fact checkers, along with Hillary’s fact checkers, are not really trustworthy fact checkers. They are part of the information police. Real fact checkers check all facts, check all research, find out what’s real and what isn’t. Biased fact checkers are simply information police.
We’ve come into the era of the PCP (political-correctness police), and now the IP (the information police). This is an era where feelings are facts and facts are subjective. Together these things are the biggest threat to America and they are leading us in directions no one really wants to go.
Don’t think so? Want to live in a place where you can be arrested for what you think? Gee, we used to think that was places like Russia, Cuba, and Communist China. Maybe, it’s coming to here now.
