Biden’s Ministry of Truth and Some Actual Truth on A Deeper Subject.

Just as the reduction in the chocolate ration in 1984 from 30 grams a week to 20 was heralded as an increase to 20 grams, so Biden’s catastrophic failure in Afghanistan is being described as a success by our Ministry of Truth.

This is my response to the tweet at https://twitter.com/TurtleOtter/status/1433400329123532803?s=20

You seem to think that the wealth of the rich is in the form of consumers’ goods, like mountains of spaghetti, the eating of which makes them monstrously fat, while their overworked, exhausted employees are lucky if they can get a handful of beans to eat.

The truth is that the wealth of the rich is overwhelmingly in the form of MEANS OF PRODUCTION, including the funds with which to pay wages. As such, it is the base of the supply of goods and the demand for labor. The greater it is, the higher is the general standard of living.

The more the government takes from the rich, the less is the supply of capital goods, the demand for labor, and the general standard of living. For further discussion, see my Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics, available at

Our World Is Becoming That of 1984

As I see our world morphing more and more into Orwell's world of 1984, with a growing inversion of truth and falsehood, I think the time has come to apply to it the language of “1984.”

Thus, at least from time to time, we should refer to the media as branches of “The Ministry of Truth” and to President Trump as “Emmanuel Goldstein,” the arch-villain enemy of the [deep] state as depicted in 1984.

Indeed, Trump has been the victim of so many “Two-Minute Hates” that they blend into one intense, unending hatred 24/7/365.

And let us not forget “The Ministry of Love,” which AOC and other haters are attempting to forge in their efforts to ruin the lives of Trump supporters.

A statement from the Ministry of Truth claiming the honesty and fairness of the election appears at https://nyti.ms/38D5dIV. Be sure to read it if you’re ready to believe that the dead can vote and that preventing Republican observers from observing is fair and honest.
