TPM has it, Orwell calls it, and the GOP is uses it - the Ministry of Truth against Barack Obama.
But sometimes doublespeak doubles round on ya and takes a gulp of your own hide because using the collective unconscious against the collective can be a dicey game.
Orwell Diaries, in blog form is now available online, did you know?
It began with entries from August 8 (1938 = August 8, 2008) with gardening and weather notations prominent (he was big on journaling as you may imagine - can't you see him blogging now?) but a few days into September, the entries will switch to political items.
And synchronistically enough, Hierophant Jupiter will make a Direct Station on Sept 8 (12:17 am edt, Washington DC) in *Capricorn, sign of politics, law, and business at just about the time Orwell's Diary turns political, and wise Jupiter is nothing if not an idealist...hmmm... . .
Take a walk on the 70-years-ago side and make Orwell Diaries your blog du jour!

Jupiter's Direct Station degree is 12Cap32 opposite America's natal Sun so financial restrictions continue as more devilishness comes to light. Of course, moneybags Jupiter could let go of some moola then or soon after Sept 8!

Hey thanks, max! ;p
And btw: awareness + constant vigilance may be our only hopes...our nation was meant to be that way but the American people were diverted years ago.
Will our Uranian nation awaken from the delusional slumbers of Neptune?
Will M-TV remember its musical roots?
Can 'I want my M-TV' and Freedom co-exist?

You know it. AmCon about some of our fun in Iraq.

Is that a reference to Sp(encer)Ackerman? Heh, he's just who he is. Can I cablenews (our very own 24-hour propaganda channels) and freedom exist.
My suspicion is that the country is el toasto as a free country, either for a short, bloody period, or long, crushing gray period.
