The one saving grace this year is that every single evil plan these shitweasels have tried to foist on everyone has detonated in their faces due to their own heroic levels of delusional incompetence.

As much as I am relishing the demise of the Wicked Witch of the West Side Story, the use of the term “pause” has me bracing for the resumption of the Ministry of Truth on November 9, 2022.

Can you be chief feline of the ministry of memes?

It's not being "shutdown" it is being paused. Allow me to translate that to plain English from bureaucratese. Translation- "we got hammered for doing this out in the open and picking a whack job to run it, so we will now bury it in some obscure department in the DOD or DOJ and include its budget in the black budget."

Busted: Biden’s “Minster of Truth” Nina Jankowicz Participated in Secret NATO-Funded Cabal to Subvert Western Democracies Using Disinformation as Cover

More than anything else, this shows how much power we actually have when we stand up and say NO (or start laughing hysterically). If we had done this against masks or vaccine mandates, the outcome would have been the same.

Don't chalk this up as a victory. They were out over their skis and realized that they couldn't pull this off in broad daylight. The roaches will regroup in darkness and continue their assault. They are undaunted, if nothing else.

Let's be real: calling other people's memes "malign creativity" while thinking that rewriting Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious makes you clever probably means you're not a serious person.

Someone was actually paid to write "How the Biden administration let right-wing attacks derail its disinformation efforts" without neither the writer, the proofreader nor the editor realising what the text actually says?

Hilarious. We now have a new benchmark for american liberals: it is bad when a presidents disinformation campaign is exposed and fails. Someone conjure up Richard Nixon, ask him how he feels about that headline, ey?

In evaluating this now almost fully depraved group of people I'm reminded of a famous example psychoanalyst Alice Miller cited to illustrate the mechanism Freud coined as projection:

In 1943, Himmler gave his famous Posen Address, in which he, in the name of the German people, expressed his appreciation to the SS group leaders for their role in the extermination of the Jews. I shall quote here the part of his speech that finally enabled me, in 1979, to comprehend something for which I had been vainly seeking a psychological explanation for thirty years:

"I shall speak to you here with all frankness about a very serious subject. We shall now discuss it absolutely openly among ourselves, nevertheless we shall never speak of it in public. I mean the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish people. It is one of those things which is easy to say: 'The Jewish people are to be exterminated," says every party member. "That's clear, it's part of our program, elimination of the Jews, extermination, right, we'll do it." And then they all come along, the eighty million upstanding Germans, and each one has his decent Jew. Of course the others are swine, but this one is a first-class Jew. Of all those who talk like this, not one has watched [the actual extermination], not one has had the stomach for it. Most of you know what it means to see a hundred corpses lying together, five hundred, or a thousand. To have gone through this and yet--apart from a few exceptions, examples of human weakness--to have remained decent, this has made us hard. This is a glorious page in our history that has never been written and never shall be written.

"We had the moral right, we had the duty to our own people, to kill this people that wanted to kill us. But we have no right to enrich ourselves by so much as a fur, a watch, a mark, or a cigarette, or anything else. In the last- analysis, because we exterminated a bacillus we don't want to be infected by it and die. I shall never stand by and watch even the slightest spot of rot develop or establish itself here. Wherever it appears, we shall burn it out together. By and large, however, we can say that we have performed this most difficult task out of love for our people. And we have suffered no harm from it in our inner self, in our soul, in our character. "

This speech contains all the elements of the complicated psychodynamic mechanism that can be described as splitting off and projection of parts of the self... . Schooling oneself to be senselessly hard requires that all signs of weakness in oneself (including emotionalism, tears, pity, sympathy for oneself and others, and feelings of helplessness, fear, and despair) be suppressed "without mercy." In order to make the struggle against these humane impulses easier, the citizens of the Third Reich were offered an object to serve as the bearer of all these qualities that were abhorred because they had been forbidden and dangerous in their childhood--this object was the Jewish people. Freed from their "bad" (i.e., weak and uncontrolled) feelings, so-called Aryans could feel pure. strong, hard, clean, good, unambivalent, and morally right if everything they had feared in themselves since childhood could be attributed to the Jews and if, together with their fellow Germans, these "Aryans" were not only permitted but required to combat it relentlessly and ever anew among members of this "inferior race."

The politicians currently in power are evil, but thankfully also stupid. If they were going to name it the "Disinformation Governance Board" they might as well have gone all the way and named it the "Ministry of Truth" and been done with it. Maybe they haven't read Orwell and didn't know that was an option. A smart, evil administration would have named it "The Committee to Plan the Summer Picnic" and carried on with their plans without highlighting it for the rest of us. Look for that to be their next step.

FBI and DHS deserve blame for Buffalo shooting. Rather than intimidating parents at school board meetings, they should have been stopping obvious time bombs. https://domestic.substack.com/p/psywar-goes-public?s=w
