Ministry of Truth

[Castle2.0]

The Ministry of Truth (Newspeak: Minitrue) is the ministry of propaganda. As with the other ministries in the novel, the name Ministry of Truth is a misnomer because in reality it serves the opposite: it is responsible for any necessary falsification of historical events. However, like the other ministries, the name is also apt because it decides what "truth" is in Oceania.

As well as administering "truth", the ministry spreads a new language amongst the populace called Newspeak, in which, for example, "truth" is understood to mean statements like 2 + 2 = 5 when the situation warrants. In keeping with the concept of doublethink, the ministry is thus aptly named in that it creates/manufactures "truth" in the Newspeak sense of the word. The book describes the doctoring of historical records to show a government-approved version of events.

There are 3 other ministries

• Peace -- military-industrial complex
• Plenty -- covid payments, which put inflation sky-high
• Love -- "inclusion" and other D.I.E. initiatives

Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard suggested that former President Barack Obama is behind the effort to establish a Disinformation Governance Board, which she likened to George Orwell's famed "Ministry of Truth."

"Biden is just a front man," Gabbard said on Twitter Sunday. "Obama, April 21: social media censors 'don’t go far enough,' so the government needs to step in to do the job. Six days later, Homeland Security rolls out the 'Ministry of Truth' (aka Disinformation Governance Board)."

It was either Matt W or Michael K who put it well by first explaining the difference between misinformation and disinformation

Misinformation is incorrect information, most often incorrect due to human error or accident. Disinformation is deliberately incorrect information meant to deceive. The governance disinformation board is going after disinformation. This means our Chinese communist party-style government has the absolute gall to claim that they are the supreme arbiters of what information is true or not, and also that they can jump inside the minds of those that proposed incorrect information and correctly assume their intentions. It wasn’t accident, it was design. And we your government know this…because we know all

Crazy freakin stuff

As with all things on the left, they give it a name that on it's surface sounds like a good thing to the naive, and jen psaki literally was like "hey who would oppose this??"

Like "progressive", oooh, progress! That sounds great! What do they believe?
- "they believe that it's okay and actually a good thing for guys with big hogs to walk around naked in the girls locker room after dominating them in swimming!"
- "........Oh"
