Doublespeak in the Modern Pathocracy

[Appollynon]

"Were defending our country from extremists" -
A phrase used many times by Phony B-liar here in the UK. The real meaning being that they are protecting extremists (pathocrats and elite psychopaths) from the people of the country and protecting their own control/power over the country. They do this by limiting individual public freedoms and destroying free speech with the creation of "Free Speech Zones".

"Free Speech" - In the UK this means the right to contact elected leaders and ask 48 hours in advance for a permit to speak freely outside our Houses of Parliament without fear of being arrested. Also know as the ability to speak freely and be arrested for disagreeing with the pathocratic ideology of hate (unless you sak them nicely for permission to do so). Brian Haw's case is a good example of how free speech no longer exists here in Britain.

"the right to protest" - The right to protest only in areas designated as "protest zones", far removed from the pathocrats and their lackeys.

"Enemy Combatant" - Any individual, of any nationality who holds an alternative point-of-view, or opposes the "war or terror" as opposed to the pathocrats deviant ideologies, "If your not with me your against me". Also likely here in Britain that any individual not recycling enough and saving the planet single handedly from global warming will be labelled and "Eco-combatant/terrorist", as we can already be arrested for this in some areas.

"Protecting our freedoms" - Another favourite phrase of Phony B-liar. Real meaning "Protecting my control". This is used to convince the sheeple that the war in on terror is happening to protect our rights as free people, however the opposite is true. Our freedoms have been completely erroded to protect the pathocratic PTB from being culpable and being held to account for their deviant actions, war crimes and ideologies of hate.

Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC) - A group of deviants who train both military and civilian personel to promote and act out the deviant ideologies of the USA Pathocrats in other western hemisphere countries. They say they want to "spread democracy" and claim to promote human rights in the hemisphere. However what were seeing from one country to another shows us that this spread of democracy is more like the spread of fascism, corporate and governmental takeovers of countries not yet under US influence and the spread of pathological thinking via the deviants who promote the ideaologies of such institutes. The part of the name that says "Institute for Security Cooperation ", is exactly the opposite of what this institue is doing, they are not co-operating with anyone, rather they are intimidating and enforcing their own ideology of fascism, hate and control under the guise of democracy, freedom and love.

Three cheers, though, for the US department of agriculture, which has at long last succeeded in abolishing hunger in America. Not that the 35 million US citizens described last year as struggling to feed themselves properly, and the 10% of those classed as being "constantly hungry", have got any more to eat. No, they are now, according to the department's 2006 report, merely suffering from "low food security". We imagine they'll be delighted.

Low Food Security

Is that amazing, or what?

So evil murderous psychopath = Individual suffering from empathy-deprivation?

evil murderous psychopath = Individual suffering from empathy-deprivation?

You got it. And that's the line that one of them is using over on Shoutwire. This guy who goes by the handle "lukenowac1" wrote:

Psychopaths are everywhere, most likly to be found in high stress jobs. Psychopaths tend not to have certain emotions, or have a limited strength of these emotions. They may not fear, love, hate, envy, etc..., or they may not have any emotions at all. It all depends on how psychopathic they are. It is sometimes difficult not to epathise with other human beings. Empathy is basically relating with other people, understanding feelings, or just being a part of the world.

Psychopaths are people, humans, homo sapiens or God's children. Whatever your belief, psychopaths are us. Everyone has some defficient emotions; some have very little or no fear, others can't feel love, etc..,

Take dare devils or even race drivers for example. A lot of them have conquered their fears to the point they don't listen to them at all, the rest of them never had fear to begin with. Are these people trying to take over the world too?

As I said before I have a friend who I know is a psychopath. He's still my mate and as far as I know he's not plotting to take over the world, or UK, or anywhere else for that matter. He never controlled me, never tried to.

The problem with your beliefs is that psychopaths are different to humans. I think psychopaths are closer to us than you would like to admit. Anyone can be without concsience. Those who tend to do vile things to each other do so through emotions too. To label the bad guys as psychopaths is denying the nature of humans in general.

Martha Stout addressed this bit of conversive thinking. Anybody got the quote?

Better yet, psychopathy = Empathy Deficit Disorder

Doublespeak: Official Language of D.C.

By CALVIN WOODWARD
Associated Press Writer


WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government's annual accounting of hunger in America reported no hunger in its last outing. Instead, it found "food insecurity."

Likewise, no one is even considering retreating from Iraq. "Redeploying" the heck out of there is, however, an option.

In Washington, words are a moving target that conceal at least as much as they reveal. Doublespeak runs through the discourse on Iraq, terrorism and domestic matters to a point where it's hard to tell what is going on.

The libertarian Cato Institute recently took on the rising tide of fuzzy words in the fight against terrorism, arguing that whatever people think of what the government is doing, it would help to understand what the government is doing.


That is no easy task when the administration offers tortured definitions of torture, describes suicide by captives as "self-injurious behavior incidents" and labeled at least one suspect an "imperative security internee" when it became constitutionally questionable to hold him as an "enemy combatant."

Interrogations are debriefings.

Propaganda is a struggle "for hearts and minds."

The estate tax is the death tax.


The right to an abortion is the right to "choose."

And can anyone oppose the Patriot Act and still be a patriot?

"By corrupting the language, the people who wield power are able to fool the others about their activities and evade responsibility and accountability," Cato's Timothy Lynch argues in his polemic against doublespeak - an outgrowth of the doublethink and newspeak of George Orwell's "1984."

But nefarious "War is Peace" Orwellianisms are not the only impulse at work, by a long shot.

Some of Washington's bland euphemisms are calculated mainly not to offend. Just as Dead End signs have been replaced in some communities by No Outlet ones, congressional oversight investigators tend these days to find "challenges" in the behavior of agencies, as they politely put it, and not quite so many "problems" - how rude.

Marketing sensibilities long ago infiltrated, if not took over, the debate in Washington, a progression most vividly seen in catchy titles given to legislation. These are the same sensibilities that, in the marketplace, prompted rapeseed oil to be sold as canola oil and a delicate fish named slimehead to come to the dinner table as orange roughy.

Republicans came to power in the 1990s offering the American Dream Restoration Act and the Common Sense Legal Reforms Act. President Clinton pitched his Middle Class Bill of Rights. President Bush this decade defied anyone to stand against something named No Child Left Behind.

Republicans pitch elimination of the "death tax" because it sounds more populist than giving rich people a break by getting rid of the "estate tax" - the same thing.

Democrats will go to the wall in defense of abortion rights without uttering that unpleasant word, abortion. Instead, they are champions of "choice" or, in a less guarded moment, "reproductive choice." (The cause is advocated by progressives, formerly liberals.)

The wish to be technically accurate was behind the decision of the Agriculture Department this year to squeeze "hunger" out of the equation when considering how many people go hungry.

Hunger, in the words of advisers whose recommendations were accepted by the department, is "an individual-level physiological condition that may result from food insecurity."

The word "should refer to a potential consequence of food insecurity that, because of prolonged, involuntary lack of food, results in discomfort, illness, weakness, or pain that goes beyond the usual uneasy sensation."

In other words, it's not just the munchies.

The department reasoned it cannot truly measure hunger because it surveys households, and households do not get hungry - people do.

The terms "low food security" and "very low food security" replaced the old descriptions of "food insecurity without hunger" and "food insecurity with hunger."

The fight against terrorism brings its own evolving vocabulary and semantic arguments, starting with the question of whether the war in Iraq is part of it, as Bush says, or a distraction from it, as his critics contend.

The notion of "homeland security" was foreign to American ears until the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks and formation of a department with that name. Now it is an accepted distinction from the foreign-based military and intelligence matters that come under the mantle of national security.

The White House was less successful branding suicide bombers as "homicide bombers," an Israeli euphemism meant to emphasize the murderous nature of the act and deny the "martyrdom" claimed by those who blow themselves up. The term hasn't stuck.

And there is no more "stay the course" on Iraq. Bush found himself on the defensive when a phrase meant to convey a resolute stance came to be seen as inflexibility in the face of chaos. The rhetoric, at least, changed course.

Came up with a few more.

Junk Science: Science and research that disagree with your political or monetary goals, or those of greedy pathocrats. (e.g. global warming).

Sound science Claims that supports your goals, while being detrimental to most others. For example:

President George W. Bush announced his decision to withdraw the Environmental Protection Agency regulations, proposed by President Clinton, to lower the allowed levels of arsenic in drinking water. "We pulled back his decision so that we can make a decision based on sound science," Bush said.

Evidence based medicine/healtcare: Standardized, officially approved patented medicine or treatment. Most likely comes in expensive bottles from big Pharma companies.

Faith based medicine: Everything else. All alternative medicine or treatment. Many of which cannot be patented and made money of.

Compassionate conservatism: Self-righteous hypocrisy. Greedy, more powerful and intrusive governing.

Also looking at the name of a lot of military operations:

Operation Enduring Freedom
Infinite Justice
Iraqi Freedom
Liberty Shield
...

Well, here's some hair-raising doublespeak posted by Lonenutter here:
http://www.cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=4178.msg27816#msg27816

The attack conducted by units of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) on the city of Nablus in April 2002 was described by its commander, Brigadier-General Aviv Kokhavi, as 'inverse geometry', which he explained as 'the reorganization of the urban syntax by means of a series of micro-tactical actions'.1 During the battle soldiers moved within the city across hundreds of metres of 'overground tunnels' carved out through a dense and contiguous urban structure. Although several thousand soldiers and Palestinian guerrillas were manoeuvring simultaneously in the city, they were so 'saturated' into the urban fabric that very few would have been visible from the air. Furthermore, they used none of the city's streets, roads, alleys or courtyards, or any of the external doors, internal stairwells and windows, but moved horizontally through walls and vertically through holes blasted in ceilings and floors. This form of movement, described by the military as 'infestation', seeks to redefine inside as outside, and domestic interiors as thoroughfares. The IDF's strategy of 'walking through walls' involves a conception of the city as not just the site but also the very medium of warfare - a flexible, almost liquid medium that is forever contingent and in flux.

In case the above is not too clear, the deviant IDF officer explains further in his bizarre language:

I conducted an interview with Kokhavi, commander of the Paratrooper Brigade, who at 42 is considered one of the most promising young officers of the IDF (and was the commander of the operation for the evacuation of settlements in the Gaza Strip).2 Like many career officers, he had taken time out from the military to earn a university degree; although he originally intended to study architecture, he ended up with a degree in philosophy from the Hebrew University.

When he explained to me the principle that guided the battle in Nablus, what was interesting for me was not so much the description of the action itself as the way he conceived its articulation.

He said: 'this space that you look at, this room that you look at, is nothing but your interpretation of it. [...] The question is how do you interpret the alley? [...] We interpreted the alley as a place forbidden to walk through and the door as a place forbidden to pass through, and the window as a place forbidden to look through, because a weapon awaits us in the alley, and a booby trap awaits us behind the doors. This is because the enemy interprets space in a traditional, classical manner, and I do not want to obey this interpretation and fall into his traps. [...] I want to surprise him! This is the essence of war. I need to win [...] This is why that we opted for the methodology of moving through walls. . . . Like a worm that eats its way forward, emerging at points and then disappearing. [...] I said to my troops, "Friends! [...] If until now you were used to move along roads and sidewalks, forget it! From now on we all walk through walls!"'

If you are still confused about what you are reading:

If you still believe, as the IDF would like you to, that moving through walls is a relatively gentle form of warfare, the following description of the sequence of events might change your mind.

To begin with, soldiers assemble behind the wall and then, using explosives, drills or hammers, they break a hole large enough to pass through. Stun grenades are then sometimes thrown, or a few random shots fired into what is usually a private living-room occupied by unsuspecting civilians.

When the soldiers have passed through the wall, the occupants are locked inside one of the rooms, where they are made to remain - sometimes for several days - until the operation is concluded, often without water, toilet, food or medicine.

Civilians in Palestine, as in Iraq, have experienced the unexpected penetration of war into the private domain of the home as the most profound form of trauma and humiliation.

A Palestinian woman identified only as Aisha, interviewed by a journalist for the Palestine Monitor, described the experience:

'Imagine it - you're sitting in your living-room, which you know so well; this is the room where the family watches television together after the evening meal, and suddenly that wall disappears with a deafening roar, the room fills with dust and debris, and through the wall pours one soldier after the other, screaming orders. You have no idea if they're after you, if they've come to take over your home, or if your house just lies on their route to somewhere else. The children are screaming, panicking. Is it possible to even begin to imagine the horror experienced by a five-year-old child as four, six, eight, 12 soldiers, their faces painted black, sub-machine-guns pointed everywhere, antennas protruding from their backpacks, making them look like giant alien bugs, blast their way through that wall?'

Doublespeak raised to an art form, no doubt.
