Orwell's "Newspeak" (1984) Now Reality - Political Leaders/Mainstream Media Deceiving Us w/ Obscure Language & Word Elimination

DO AMERICA’S POLITICIANS AND MEDIA EMPLOY TRANSPARENT LANGUAGE? TRANSPARENT LANGUAGE: OUR POLITICAL LEADERS AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA ARE DECEIVING US WITH OBSCURE LANGUAGE

Transparent Language: Our Political Leaders and the Mainstream Media are Deceiving us With Obscure Language.

When it comes to American politics, there is no such thing as transparent language.

Although politicians and the mainstream media may offer the illusion of transparency, the deceptive nature of the words that they utilize are on par with the Orwellian Newspeak that is detailed in the novel 1984.

In 1984, Newspeak is the language of Oceania, used to reinforce the supremacy of the state.

Newspeak has a significantly smaller vocabulary than traditional English and certain words have been eliminated or their meaning changed so that the dogma of IngSoc, English socialism, cannot be challenged.

The end result is that people are unable to think alternatively to the ruling ideology, because thought processes are fundamentally linked to the words that describe them.

Orwell stated that political language is intended to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable.

We just need to look at our current president to realize that this is true.

Obama has used the word “transparency” many times to describe the modus-operandi of his administration.

However, the president has swiftly backpedaled to suit his current feelings now that he has been elected.

NO TRANSPARENT LANGUAGE: OBAMA IS A LIAR

Obama promised transparency multiple times in his election campaign, but we need to understand that he was just using political jargon to hoodwink us. He promised that if he became president that he would post all legislative bills online for at least five days before they are signed. However, he has failed to do so in the several months that he has been in office.

When confronted by the New York Times about his blatant lie, Obama used a whole range of deceptive and illogical rhetoric to get himself out of the mess.

He stated that the “common man” doesn’t want transparency, but that it is better if government and legislation is “transcendent” and “above the range of human comprehension.” He asserted that when it comes to law, people want to “experience mystery and the majesty that comes through obscurity.”



OBAMA’S CONDESCENSION TOWARD AMERICAN CITIZENS

Obama’s response to the New York Times accusation is proof that our political leaders treat us with disdain. We are mere minions that they are able to control with their clever words. The Newspeak of our day is ensuring that people like Obama get elected for their skillful oratory, not for their integrity and skill.

TRANSPARENT LANGUAGE DOES NOT EXIST

Bush lied to the American public multiple times during his period in office.

Among his repertoire were the multiple times he cited weapons of mass destruction in Iraq that were never found, the imminent terror threat that never happened, the terrorist surveillance program that made innocent US citizens the subjects of a domestic spy program, the need for the treacherous Patriot Act that has proven to be the most unpatriotic legislation in history, and the war on terror that failed to secure the capture of any terrorists.

Now we have a new president who is continuing the tradition of deceptive language. Are we so easily fooled? It appears that we are starting to believe as Orwell predicted, that freedom is slavery, war is peace and ignorance is strength.

Transparent language does not exist in our current political sphere. Obama is a puppet president like Bush was before him, and the elite banking cabal are pulling the strings through the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the United Nations. We are being lied to time and time again, and it is time that we put an end to the Orwellian Newspeak that has come to dominate our political arena.

An excellent post, OP. Kudos to you.

thank you...

Obama simply removes words from the media....

Current Samples of Newspeak:

British Politicians and Newspeak - current:

I have made an effort recently to speak very precisely and descriptively. I do not use Newspeak. Young people think I am weird, but intelligent people see it.

Alex Jones "Orwell had it right. Our nation is Orwellian and under Orwellian system"

Ah! Interesting project!

And you are as honest as possible? As translucent as possible?

Can you give us an example?

the "newspeak" word I detest the most is INCURSION - which seems ONLY to apply when Israel attacks its neighbours or its prisoners' compounds.
I guess if you want to make an INVASION sound like an EXCURSION - use INCURSION.

part II Modern Newspeak

As reffered to in my earlier article Orwell used two methods in particular in his book in order to control society. I just gave two dramatic examples of double think, and now its time to cover newspeak. In "1984", newspeak was the language that the government deemed appropriate for use in all forms of business and education. The primary focus of this was to limit how much people think.

You see, how much we are able to think is directly related to how many different words we know, and how well we can construct our own thoughts. A sentence is than a complete thought translated into a solid enough form to be clearly stated, and grasped. So the power of words is absolutely tremendous and amazing. By elimninating the distinctions between opposites (particularly in regard to freedom, rebellion, authority, and other such words) the orwell-government was constantly working on which words should be eliminated, and on how to go about rationalizing the elimination of such words. The new limited language would than be what would be taught in the public schools and made acceptable at home to use. Since children in this world were also encouraged to speak out if there parents did anything possibly rebellious to the government the parents would only dare use the latest edition of newspeak with there kids.

Once again the truth is a little sneakier than Orwell's methods. We have not limited the words. That would be way to obvious. Instead we have changed how we use the words, and by doing this have changed the definitions to mean often opposite of their original meaning. The end result is the same as if you had eliminated the words altogether. It shoudl be noted as well that we also make a regular practice of demonizing words, phrases, and arguments to the extent that the original meanings are lost (i.e. liberal, gay, and also a number of names such as Darwin who was a surprisingly religious man). The best examples of words meanings being changed, that come to my mind are conservative, and federal.

Currently if you say the word conservative people will commonly associate this with the Republican party. Now before I go on it should be noted that I am a paleo-conservative; someone who stands by the original ideas that the republican party was founded on. The word conservative comes from the same word as conservation. This was, in the political arena to be applied to conservation of american wealth, and conservation of limited government power, including avoiding wars that do not threaten american lives. Oh, how we have fallen. The modern "conservative" or neo-conservative (neo-con for short) has instead expanded government in all dimensions, started aggresive wars, as well as has increased government spending. What happened to the platforms the republican's once stood for? It is now very rare to find a conservative "conservative", through association with the Republican party which has betrayed all principles it was founded on the meaning of the word conservative has been changed in the eyes of the mainstream public.

The next big example that is a part of our everyday lives would be the word federal. The word federal comes from the word confederate. This word is used to refer to an alliance. When it came to putting together the US constitution. There were two views on which way we should go. You had the philosophies of nationalism and federalism. The people who believed in nationalism wanted the states to stand as one sovereign nation with a centralized government where as those who believed in federalism wanted each state to have its own strong local government making for a decentralized goverment thus more adaptive to local needs and less likely to innapropriately seize power. The people who wanted nationalism thus decided to get sneaky, and called theselves the Federalists. They than proceeded to publish a number of documents called the Federalist papers. This move than put the actual federalists into an inconvenient spot as they couldn't call themselves the Nationalists. It would have hurt their argument. So instead they called themselves the Anti-federalists. As a direct result of these marketing tactics employed by nationalist, today just about anything that is "Federal" is speaking about centralized government, the exact opposite of true federalism.

Lets also take a look at the demonized word conspiracy.
American Heritage Dictionary
con·spir·a·cy (kən-spîr'ə-sē)
n. pl. con·spir·a·cies

1. An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.
2. A group of conspirators.
3. Law An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action.
4. A joining or acting together, as if by sinister design: a conspiracy of wind and tide that devastated coastal areas.

Isn't it interesting that anyone who believes there is the possibility of a conspiracy is a "conspiracy nut", and that by believing there is a possiblity that some of these politicians might be out for their own profit at the expense of the people is automatically discredited as soon as the word conspiracy is spoken? The fact that a single word quiets or discredits every inquiry into the lives of politicians and newsmen should send up a red flag right there. Yes, some of the people who back up conspiracy theories are really out there. It is however dangerous, to not at least look and see for ourselves if there isn't any truth behind these claims. To be able to have the definition of someone who believes in conspiracies as just some nut is a very dangerous idea to the people. That is like telling your kids that no strangers are ever dangerous and anyone who tells you they are is just crazy.

These were the most extreme examples I could think of for this particular Orwellian technique that is in heavy application. I only hope that I have brought to your attention some things to watch for. These are subtle techniques, and are so regular they are part of our everyday lives, as well as a number of fields. Always be mindful of what you are being told. Believe nothing without reason, and accept nothing as truth without first thouroughly examining it. Orwell used a number of other techniques in his book 1984, and overtime I would like to cover all of them. If you enjoyed this, or got anything out of it than please stayed tune. Thankyou for taking the time to read this, and please, take a second look at the words we use regularly and take for granted.

SnL, I have to say that I have been captivated by your threads lately. Spent a couple of hours on your Book Of Solomon yesterday. Thanks for your time and effort.

Society in this nation is controlled using various means, however the technological means to completely control society is becoming a reality at a faster and faster pace. Their is a concerted and concentrated effort to change the meanings of words and to eliminate certain words in order to manipulate public thinking, and its working quite well. Those who don't and won't go along with the 'program' will be outed as threats to public safety because they will not conform, and in fact, its already happening!

thank you.. its my pleasure. these are topics i am passionate about. i appreciate the medium.

totalitarianism.... and so it begins

controlling our language means controlling how we think... plain and simple. the only advantage you have is to be old enough to see the difference (oldspeak vs newspeak)

you really need to watch this...

Completely true OP.

To destroy a word, the broadcast-controllers need only subtly affect that word away from its definition, toward the opposite or toward any definition which enclouds the word.

Loss of clarity, disinterest in reading, increase in illiteracy rates are all top goals for such evil ones. Mind destroyers, haters of humanity.

Thanks for hacking at the root of the evil rather than the branches. Also it is important to study Anthony Sutton's book on Skull and Bones as it explains how the Bonesmen infiltrated their fellow Boney-head-brothers into the education system, to destroy it. Been decades now, we can see the results. Sheer evil in that tomb.

the formula.... the spell and the maggi

thanks for your input and book reference.
