This all raises to mind the line used by\u00a0<span class=\"df_rq\" data-entity-tipid=\"df_rq_tip_George_Orwell\">George Orwell<\/span>\u00a0in his novel Animal Farm. While the phrase\u00a0<b>&#8220;All<\/b>\u00a0<b>Animals<\/b>\u00a0<b>are<\/b>\u00a0<b>Equal<\/b>&#8221; started as one of the seven commandments, the\u00a0<b>Animal<\/b>\u00a0Farm pigs soon reinterpreted it to read as \u201c<b>ALL<\/b>\u00a0<b>ANIMALS<\/b>\u00a0<b>ARE<\/b>\u00a0<b>EQUAL<\/b>\u00a0\/ BUT\u00a0<b>SOME<\/b>\u00a0<b>ANIMALS<\/b>\u00a0<b>ARE<\/b>\u00a0MORE EQUAL THAN\u00a0<b>OTHERS<\/b>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This phrase has become one of our culture&#8217;s ultimate examples of how the systematic abuse of language and logic can systematically be used by those with the intention of taking control of those they consider, shall we say, beneath them. Two noteworthy tools used to achieve this goal are propaganda and censorship. The sad reality is that &#8220;Power To The People&#8221; is dead because we are often unable to agree on anything. Even when people come together in general agreement forms, many individuals are so ridged they allow the finer points and details to become stumbling blocks to moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, big tech and mainstream media have become a polarizing force that stirs the pot of social unrest. By promoting polarization they have made it impossible for the American people to unite and regain any control over Washington. This situation benefits those wishing to expand their control over us. Ironically, they are probably giddy over the problems Facebook has created by playing fast and loose with data from its followers. Facebook by crossing the line and abusing the trust of those with accounts and information posted on\u00a0 its platform has taken the pressure off of the mainstream media to do a better job.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big Tech Suppresses Free Speech Through Censorship This Warning We Must Take Seriously It appears that silencing the masses is not just for countries such as China.
