I must say I’m shocked by the fact that most of the British media are now engaged in preventive censorship, which used to be the hallmark of communist regimes. Now the citizens of former communist countries in Eastern Europe have much more freedom of speech than those of the “old democracies” in the West. And because of this their basic human rights — for instance their right to life — are protected, which isn’t the case in Britain.
A very clear illustration of this has been the recent case of a Polish man who was lying in a comatose state in a Plymouth hospital. The Polish government offered to pay for his treatment at a specialist clinic in Poland (which has successfully brought patients out of comas), but British judges decided that he just had to die, the chosen method of execution being dehydration and starvation. This man was breathing unaided, so the best way to kill him was to take away his food and water. That’s how it works in Britain now: Pope John-Paul II called it “The Culture of Death” — the new masonic “morality” straight from hell.
Hey, but you’re not allowed to say things like that in Britain, are you? The story was heavily censored in the British media, while the local Plymouth Herald simply removed any comments that were politically incorrect. This kind of judicial murder goes on all the time in Britain, but it’s only when a foreign government tries to intervene on behalf of one of its nationals that some news trickles out.

Best 1984 quotes:
“The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect.”
“…eliminating undesirable words…”
“Technological progress only happens when its products can in some way be used for the diminution of human liberty.”
“They can twist reality into whatever shape they choose.”
“We are the priests of power.”
“It will be a world of terror.”

One of the first duties is to use exactly the right words; and the crudest ones, if accurate, are the best ones to use. The accuracy is the test, and conciseness favours them. You don’t argue, you just go ahead and call a Jew psycho control-freak just that.

And do not fall into the NLP trap of satire, sarcasm, quoting the enemy or temporarily taking his position. Yesterday I called this The boy who cried wolf because he saw one and likes them. Part of the mind does not get irony.
