View Full Version : Ministry of Truth

The Ministry of Truth (Newspeak: Minitrue) is the ministry of propaganda. As with the other ministries in the novel, the name Ministry of Truth is a misnomer because in reality it serves the opposite: it is responsible for any necessary falsification of historical events. However, like the other ministries, the name is also apt because it decides what "truth" is in Oceania.
As well as administering "truth", the ministry spreads a new language amongst the populace called Newspeak, in which, for example, "truth" is understood to mean statements like 2 + 2 = 5 when the situation warrants. In keeping with the concept of doublethink, the ministry is thus aptly named in that it creates/manufactures "truth" in the Newspeak sense of the word. The book describes the doctoring of historical records to show a government-approved version of events.

Peace -- military-industrial complex
Plenty -- covid payments, which put inflation sky-high
Love -- "inclusion" and other D.I.E. initiatives

Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard suggested that former President Barack Obama is behind the effort to establish a Disinformation Governance Board, which she likened to George Orwell's famed "Ministry of Truth."
"Biden is just a front man," Gabbard said on Twitter Sunday. "Obama, April 21: social media censors 'don’t go far enough,' so the government needs to step in to do the job. Six days later, Homeland Security rolls out the 'Ministry of Truth' (aka Disinformation Governance Board)."

It was either Matt W or Michael K who put it well by first explaining the difference between misinformation and disinformation
Misinformation is incorrect information, most often incorrect due to human error or accident. Disinformation is deliberately incorrect information meant to deceive. The governance disinformation board is going after disinformation. This means our Chinese communist party-style government has the absolute gall to claim that they are the supreme arbiters of what information is true or not, and also that they can jump inside the minds of those that proposed incorrect information and correctly assume their intentions. It wasn’t accident, it was design. And we your government know this…because we know all
Crazy freakin stuff

They showed this recent clip from some government function where a democrat senator or congresswoman or something (I didn’t recognize the lady) was questioned about a claim she made at a rally that police in America were hunting down and murdering innocent black people
When challenged she said “it was at a rally and I was speaking rhetorically”. Fair enough I guess. So would her claim be something the disinformation board would go after? We all know the answer to that one. Of course not. But it’s a claim that erodes trust in police, which could prevent someone from providing police information they need to solve a major crime. Or maybe prevent someone from contacting the police to save a loved one. So it could directly result in human suffering. But is not “disinformation” worth pursuing. Because it fits a political narrative
This isn’t an argument for the Ministry of Truth board, because it’s a stupid fucking idea and it WILL bomb in the polls. But just showing how easy it is to abuse such a thing

Edward Snowden wasn’t pardoned by your boy trump. That’s bipartisan
Julian assange can rot in hell, but I agree Snowden got railroaded for being a whistleblower first by a democratic administration
This however… this ministry of truth as used by the Biden administration would only advance conspiratorial adherence to anything they try to suppress. It is transparently a bad idea that is red meat to a base of “leftists” who will never hold power in this country. It’s an own goal and reduces collective trust in institutions
So basically Jib, I’m agreeing that this is a bad idea. But I’m noting that when the next Republican administration uses this, you guys won’t complain at all

The claim that he lost being totally 100% false is kind of just as specious as the claim that it's totally 100% true. Jan 6th was a complete nothing-burger that dems cannot let go of. Viking horns guy will just never be the villain that they desperately want him to be, because the public isn't quite that dumb.

You get to decide what laws are just an unjust? What if I thought the law was just and you thought it was unjust? Did you know you’re given a vote to elect people and have courts to decide such things?
Again, if you act against the law you aren’t law abiding. You can work within the system to change laws, but you can’t not accept elections, riot, etc

You all be ballz crazy in the Qanon garbage your party is now believing in. And who wouldn't want to try to stop some crazy extremist right voter pushed into going into a shooting rampage.
Hell in Australia, experts, police and others have been commenting on the failure of the authorities to act effectively in order to combat right-wing radicalization, and the government has vowed to put right-wing extremist individuals and groups under greater scrutiny and pressure, with their --->home affairs secretary. A week after the Christchurch mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, it emerged that three years earlier, Australian-born Brenton Harrison Tarrant, the perpetrator of the shootings, had been active on the Facebook pages of two Australian-based white nationalist groups. And from Charlotte and Jan 6th we know how bad America is swimming in alt right white racist groups.

I can rationalize all these except the zoo one, which is just funny.
“Let’s think about this,” he said, referencing the state law that requires a three-day waiting period before a woman can have an abortion, during which time she must receive state-sponsored counselling to discourage her from going through with the procedure.
“Babies, it’s three days, so although there are members of this body who don’t agree with that three days, babies are three days. So, zoo animals, it couldn’t be more than 24 hours, right?”
He then explained that the waiting period for euthanising zoo animals is five days.
“I believe there's some sort of requirement to notify in case some other zoo wants to adopt that animal,” he said, before reportedly laughing. “Isn't that interesting?”
“Maybe we should send the people that want an abortion to the St Louis Zoo, because we know it'll be safer,” his colleague Mr Wallingford replied.

I thought it was from a bat biting the lab man and him superspreading it to all his friends.
Maybe it came from here (https://depts.washington.edu/uwviro/) or one of the multitude of others in the developed world.
There's only one bat in WA though. 🦇♂️

What you are complaining about is that the Trump's campaign was spied on.
It doesn't change the fact that Russia interfered with our elections in the end result determined by an official investigation by the government that resulted in 8 guilty pleas and 30 indictments.
Covid is not from bats, the fact that yo uthink that is true is a pefect example of the ministries success. pathetic.
Keep drinking your alt right conspiracy kool-aid.
When SARS-CoV-2 closest known relative was a bat coronavirus virus found in 2016 in a mine in southern China’s Yunnan Province. RaTG13, as it is known, shares 96 percent of its genome with SARS-CoV-2. Based on the mutations carried by each virus, scientists have estimated that RaTG13 and SARS-CoV-2 share a common ancestor that infected bats about 40 years ago.
and whats last, oh yeah: you think bides laptop is still fake.
No one said it was fake you want some one to call it fake.
What is true is that a government investigation has FOUND NOTHING from examining the Hunter Biden's laptop. The conspiracies are from your alt right crazies and Russian disinformation.

Haha, yes "scientists have estimated that I am right!". Lots of scientists, including virologists and evolutionary biologists have also stated that the high transmissibility of the virus immediately upon passage to humans is unlikely to have evolved in nature- viruses that pass to humans from animals are not IMMEDIATELY mega-contagious like that almost ever- and that the most likely explanation would be a naturally occuring virus that was taken from nature, most likely a bat, and had parts of it's genome artificially enhanced in a lab for scientific study. AKA gain of function. Nobody is saying china did anything nefarious on purpose, other than potentially cover up the fact that they fucked up and leaked it by accident in the first place.

Well to be fair they *did* study live bats and bat coronaviruses at the wuhan lab, so that's just the thing: People on both sides can derive a conclusion here, because bats *were* most likely involved, but only to the extent that the lab was studying them. The lab still most likely genetically modified a natural bat virus and probably leaked it by accident through some type of contamination\lax protocols, so they'd have every incentive to deny it because it makes them look terrible. There's nothing conspiratorial about any of that, and in fact a fair bit of scientific testimony from relevant experts that backs it as a plausible hypothesis, but people just love to call anything they don't like conspiratorial now.

But they've been trying to pass this off as someone eating a bat from a barbaric wet market, which caused the person to fall ill and then suddenly two months later the whole world is infected.
Europe has been worried about backlash against Russia because they're dependent on Russian gas. Well imagine calls for punishing China for the virus leaking out of a biolab when we're all dependent on cheap Chinese products and labor. Would cripple the worlds' economies. The Trump trade war was bad enough, we can't have China being responsible for unleashing a deadly virus on the world. So nope instead let's blame it on someone eating a bat. It's just credible enough that people might fall for it.

Good thing we haven't had very infections virus passed from animals ever.
Then because Measles which is even more infectionious than Covid19.... it also must have been generated in a lab right and didn't jump from a zoonotic animal; like cattle.

Remember even on a small scale people were blaming each other and getting pissed at each other when they suspected someone had spread Covid to them by just being in their presence.
If they admitted in 2020 that it escaped from a Chinese virus lab the whole world would have been calling for hell to pay, sanctions and boycotts and calls for exhorbitant payments and whatnot, and the world is too dependent on China for them to pay hell.

It would be insanely coincidental that covid19 came from wuhan from somebody simply catching it from a bat, when there is also a lab there that studies those exact viruses, and as I stated before multiple perfectly credentialed scientists have stated that the early highly contagious nature of covid does not map on to how viruses evolve naturally.

There's a big cave system there where they are highly endemic. So it's clearly a good environment for them.
Different animals populations have different pathogens, so I guess these bats are locally adapted to be better at having coronavirii than other bat populations.

There IS perfectly sound scientific evidence that the virus shows signs of genetic manipulation. The evidence that it has a natural origin is basically "hey it looks close to a known bat virus" NO SHIT SHERLOCKS. For the billionth time, the charge is that they modified a natural virus and it was released via negligence.
