Thanks for putting this up, we all need to be reminded how much our language has been converted into a weapon against us, fueled by our good intentions.

Ryan said (March 23, 2019):

Like the commenter that stated how the globalists use the phrases Global Warming and Global Economy, they also use the phrases Global Financial Crisis, Global Pandemic and Global War on Terror. The reason for this is to give the illusion these manufactured problems are global problems and need global solutions. Cue the UN One World Government. Problem Reaction Solution

How dare they call themselves semites, they are nothing other than converted Khazars. The Palestinians are the real semites and the Original people of what has always been called Palestine.

Mass Media is losing the WAR FOR AMERICAN’S MINDS.…and that’s why HILLARY lost the election.

They no longer CONTROL THE NARRATIVE in America because too many thinking Americans are so fed up with media lies that they’ve turned to ALTERNATIVE MEDIA.

Views of THE TEA PARTY have been co-opted by the likes of BREITBART.COM, but it isn’t the only ALTERNATIVE RIGHT news outlet

Now there’s a genuine Populist Revolution in America which is spreading like WILDFIRE.

BUT no one is even writing about this phenomenon.

Have you seen anything along the lines I discuss here?

Protocols:

“These newspapers, like the Indian god Vishnu, will be possessed of hundreds of hands, each of which will be feeling the pulse of varying public opinion."

But it’s not working anymore…

Unless the “quiet elite” regain control of America’s NARRATIVE or maybe assassinate Trump they are toast and I think they know it.

Robert K said (August 13, 2017):

The subversion of thought through the subversion of language has been going on for a long time, and was brilliantly illustrated by George Orwell in his book "Nineteen-eighty-four".

This subversion is subtle work that goes far beyond the straightforward gutting or redefining of specific words. For example, our logical faculties are targeted by the inappropriate combination of modifiers and nouns. A clever practitioner of this art was the former Prime Minister of Canada Pierre ("I am a Communist"--1954) Trudeau. For example, the slogan on which he ran his first electoral campaign promised to create a "Just Society": this not only exemplified the standard "hope for the future" (never the present) feature of socialist propaganda, but simultaneously discredited all the previous achievements of Canadian society as being "unjust".

The late British professor Geoffrey Dobbs described what he designated the "technique of the essential adjective", which consists of combining a noun with an adjective in such a way that the meaning of the noun is subverted by an unconscious logical process. An example is the Communist phrase "participatory democracy"; democracy is rule by the people, but the compound expression necessarily implies the existence of a category of democracy in which the people do not participate, a logical impossibility that disrupts and paralyzes the thinking process.

An example Dr. Dobbs offered was the phrase "free love" that has been favoured in socialist parlance. In its essence, love is always free, and indeed the word derives from the Old English "lief", which meant choosing to do something from a good internal impulse' i.e., freely. If "free love" is an acceptable formulation, then logically there must exist a category of love that is coerced, is unfree--again a concept totally at odds with the essential meaning of the word.

George said (August 13, 2017):

A superior man, in regard to what he does not know, shows a cautious reserve. If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things. If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success. When affairs cannot be carried on to success, proprieties and music do not flourish. When proprieties and music do not flourish, punishments will not be properly awarded. When punishments are not properly awarded, the people do not know how to move hand or foot. Therefore a superior man considers it necessary that the names he uses may be spoken appropriately, and also that what he speaks may be carried out appropriately. What the superior man requires is just that in his words there may be nothing incorrect.

— Confucius, Analects, Book XIII, Chapter 3, verses 4-7

William G said (June 15, 2016):

Aristophanes in Plato's Symposium speaks of Zeus splitting human-like creatures in two. They were then condemned to go searching for their complements, or "soul mates", or "symbolons".

Zeus had said, "I have a plan which will enfeeble their strength and so extinguish their turbulence; men shall continue to exist, but I will cut them in two and then they will be diminished in strength and increased in numbers; this will have the advantage of making them more profitable to us."

The same applies to the words and symbols crafted today, and for the same purposes.

Imposing distorted meanings distorts the thoughts much as ingesting junk food affects the health of the bodies, and then the minds, of those who eat it.

David said (June 10, 2016):

My favorite double speak is the one bankers use: The "DEBT" you think you are getting from the bank or the bank's depositors is really a "CREDIT". Once you sign the promissory it becomes real money that is stolen from you and given back to you as a "LOAN" . The reason your signature is worth money is because you are the CREDITOR. In other words, you put the money in circulation for all of society to use because you are the creator of the VALUE of the money created by your signature.

TWH said (June 9, 2016):

I'll add a few buzzwords and their definitions:

anti-choice - applied to anyone who does not enthusiastically embrace the notion of sucking a living child in pieces out of his mother's womb.

extremist - anyone who has an idea that's at odds with the ever-evolving media (i.e. - international banker)-developed culture.

moderate - anyone who embraces culturally Marxist attitudes.

old white men - a phrase meant to denigrate proud white men who helped build the civilization in which we live and that, if applied to any other demographic, would result in the immediate excoriation by the aforementioned media culture of whoever used it and the expectation of apologies in perpetuity by said user.

carbon - an apparently horrible element made out to be worse than cyanide that allows the powers-that-be to further restrict our lives and extract more cash from us. Never mind the fact that carbon is part of, and utilized by, all living things.

freedom - anything designed to take the masses' eyes off what's really going on.

mass immigration - a wondrous, beautiful thing...but only in historically white countries. It's terrible in places like Tibet, of course.

cultural mosaic - all of society, except whites, heterosexuals, and/or Christians.

Anon said (June 9, 2016):

War office was changed to Ministry of Defence early last century or thereabouts - probably at the suggestion of Freud's nephew, Eddie Bernays (PR guru who advised global elites on various issues of manipulating information and language to dupe the masses = "perception management"...)

Also - in the comments section - someone asks....where do these changes in perception come from....well, apart from the social engineers e.g Tavistock and Frankfurt/Chicago School cultural marxists and the PR firms (e.g Burston Marsteller) there are the "Nudge Units" in USA and UK and elsewhere - the UK nudge group is run by a Jew and is called the Behavioural Insights Team..

Once a consensus is created then the duped masses and chattering classes police themselves through fear of stepping out of line and away from the consensus, as that ca not only lead to social ostaricization but increasingly these days can lead to fines and loss of job etc...In other words - refusing to engage in doublespeak and political correctness results in thoughtcrime (which is actually rational, critical thinking based in natural law and reason, not moral relativism or doublethink).

Humanitarian interventions are all the rage - intervening militarily to bomb the shit out of countries whose popuplation is supposedly suffering under a dictator....

This is an adjunct to the War is peace or Neo-con endless war doctrine - especially codified in the "war on terror" (actually a war OF terror by elites and elite-controlled ZOGs against the global population)....The mantra is that in order to attain peace there must be an endless war....on terror....against "communists"....against "aggressors" (e.g Russia)...etc etc....

There will always be an enemy that threatens "peace" (i.e threatens the NWO Illuminati power hegemony) so there will always be war.

Money = debt. Hermetic/Babylonian/Cabalist dual perception money magik.

-

War office was changed to Ministry of Defence

coz War in minds of the masses = aggression and death.....Defence = valiant protection of the homeland...

Office = drudgery and work and toil, parochial and worldly.......conversely Ministry = holy, spiritual...justified...righteous...

= perception management...

Also meant to add - common purpose etc promote NLP - Neuro-linguistic programming....re-defining and manipulating language and communication to fit the NWO psy-op Freudian mass psyche manipulation agenda on a mass and individual and community level, from corporate boardrooms to village halls to schoolrooms..to government departments and press offices.

Tony B said (June 9, 2016):

Very happy to see both this article and the additions of commenters.

I tried to make Willis Carto and the rest of "The Spotlight" staff understand this very thing a decade and a half ago but didn't have your clear language to express myself. Carto insisted on using the mainstream media "bible" in the manner of expression for the paper which I kept telling him was the weapon of his enemies.

An example is that the media always capitalizes their pampered co-conspirators such as congress (always Congress) which, by itself, is NOT a proper name, phrase or complete title and is NOT deserving of capitalization which always gives legitimacy to a word or phrase. For that same reason reversed, I find myself not capitalizing words that normally should be, such as "talmud." That is also an effective weapon. But today's journalists, many of whom do not have a clue as to when to use "a" or "an," know by "education" mind control, every last politically correct mis-use of the language, thinking them correct. In fact, that is a major purpose of government schools, from kindergarten through college post graduates. HOME SCHOOL!

Perhaps it would be a good idea to append newly noticed mis-definitions, etc., of which readers become aware, to regular posts under "Dishonesty in language" or some such title.

JG said (June 9, 2016):

I've often wondered who the "spin doctors" are that come up with all these language defaults that are so poorly disguised and peddled as flat out lies divorced from all reality.

Codewords seem to be the hot phrase now among the candidates these days.Maybe Bernie Sanders could release his language "codebook" to the public to help us figure it all out. You might be offending someone by using one of these new codewords that you're not even aware of.

Whatever happened to the 'good old days' when terrorists were called "freedom fighters" and your everyday corporate thief was just a man trying to "turn a profit".

It's all nothing but Greek Urban Legend to me.

Gordon said (June 9, 2016):

Further to your article today, here's the URL to a YouTube clip, of Mohammed Ali interviewed on the BBC … in which he makes a good argument for separation of the races = not "segregation", but natural self-selection / association of people with their own race

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqiWFLsgVi4

this is an excellent example of how different the media world, is, today, compared with how things were not all that long ago. Then, Mohammed Ali was allowed to express his point of view. Today, - someone in his position as a celebrity probably would be sensitive-enough to self-censor. Or, if he did say such things aloud, he'd be making a grovelling retraction within 48 hours

Andrew said (June 9, 2016):

A perfect demonstration of your thesis today, is the way news pundits and politicians are attacking Trump for bad-mouthing the San Diego La Raza Federal Judge. Seems Judge Gonzalo Curiel is not only of Mexican descent, but also associated with the La Raza Lawyers Association of San Diego. Cesar Chavez denounced La Raza in the 1970s as dangerously racist. In Spanish, La Raza means “the race.”

Besides, attacking judges is as American as apple pie, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. FDR denounced judges when they ruled against him and announced plans to ‘pack’ (rig) the US Supreme Court in 1937. See Attacking Judges Is as American as Andrew Jackson … also The Donald & The La Raza Judge. So what is wrong with Trump saying the same thing as Jefferson, Jackson, FDR and Cesar Chavez?

The current attacks on Trump would make George Orwell blush. Historical facts don’t matter anymore.

James C said (June 9, 2016):

In George Orwell's definition of Newspeak, a great many words meant the exact opposite of what they appeared to mean. For example, such words as joy camp (forced-labor camp) or Minipax (Ministry of Peace, i.e., Ministry of War). Even the party slogans reversed the meaning of words. For example, War is Peace, or Freedom is Slavery. The essence of psychological warfare is to confuse the meaning of words and to infiltrate the mind with conflicting concepts unawares. Similarly, the Talmud is one gigantic reversal of the Bible.

linux user said (August 27, 2014):

good start of a lexicon -- I was surprised not to find 3 important missing words in it:

A "conservative" is someone who furthers their agenda primarily by wanting war, war and more war and by disallowing dissent (e.g. George W. Bush). Someone who actually wants to conserve what is good and conserve resources is a crazy Nazi-sympathizing nutjob.

A "liberal" or "progressive" is someone who furthers their agenda by making it ok to murder the unborn while hitting hard on "hate speech" (as already defined) and who, while claiming to be peaceful and possibly preferring to support Ukraine-style "peaceful revolutions", doesn't rule out war, war and more war (e.g. Barack Obama). Someone who actually wants liberty or wants to make progress where it is needed is a crazy Communist nut.

A "Realist" is someone who may disagree with the "conservatives" and "liberals", but still does all he can to support one of those groups because they're the lesser evil.

Peter C said (August 26, 2014):

The average voter who helps elect those who don’t belong in a government by and for the people are already completely surrendered victims of the Illuminati language and habits and believers of the Big Lie. All this does is reinforce the “The Business as Usual” mode to preserve the Big Liars Club that supports the current front man who distracts us further with his lies and flap- ping his ears so we don’t notice the “ram up the butt” from this gangster. Aiding and abetting in these Enslave the People crimes is the mainstream media and its rotten “political correctness” to reinforce the lies.

Alan said (August 26, 2014):

As you know - less is more. I have not seen such a clear and concise article written with so few words that speaks VOLUMES of what you have been teaching your readers about the Illuminati Bankers.

They want to hijack our True God and the Torah Old Testament and substitute it with all the vile teachings in the Talmud.

Every one who has not yet woken up, just hears the repeated simple lies and accepts these carefully crafted words as truth and wants to obey the politically acceptable mantra.

Woe to us miss-fits who disobey! Well i'm in your camp and could not agree more with your simple message, the graphic's help a lot too.
Well done, this one will be a classic at some point in the future when the hundred monkey syndrome kicks in.

Doug P said (August 26, 2014):

This goes much deeper than what is suggested here Henry.

If people only knew what the word "attourney" meant, "represent"...the whole Legal system operates on words with double meanings, one meaning the common understanding and another the courts understanding. "Understanding" is a perfect example. "Legal" is another one. Speaking with a "forked tongue" is how its expressed.

Asim said (August 26, 2014):

I would add 'international community', cited whenever America goes to war and tries to imply that it is doing so with the backing of the' international community', when it is simply a nauseating euphemism for America, Britain and Israel.

Also, America's 'national interests', sorry but who's interests???? No, not the people of the nation state of America, but the global elite.

Pass me the bucket Henry!!!!

Peter N said (August 26, 2014):

How about substituting the words "Sickcare Management" for what is now called "Healthcare?"

The FDA was originally called the "Division of Chemistry" and then later renamed the "Bureau of Chemistry." Makes sense since it seems to me the real reason for this agency is to provide legislative muscle to the chemical companies, i.e. "Croney Capitalism."

Conventional farmers, via chemically supported ag schools and the USDA, have been taught to use chemicals to produce grains and vegetables resulting in nutritionally deficient plants more susceptible to pests which, of course, need to be controlled via pesticides made by those same companies. (The USDA has collected nutritional data for years which demonstrates the decline.)

Thus the population gets to eat nutrient deficient foods tainted with nerve agents which I believe contributes to ill health. So now the "healthcare" provider steps in to prescribe more of the same to "cure" the illness.

Personally I refuse to subscribe to this warped medical model designed to profit big pharma and insurance while doing little to provide true health to the "cattle." Now that more are waking up to this disaster, the government is trying to force the cattle to participate whether they want to or not; for the good of all because "everyone should have access to healthcare." Brilliant! Have the cattle pay for their death food!

"Slavery is Freedom."

Henrique said (August 26, 2014):

I consider the word "Illuminati" itself imprecise, corny and "Orwellian" - it's basically used by people who don't have the balls ( or don't want ) to attack Freemasonry, and esoterism in general - doesn't seem to be your case though.
Referring to Krister comment below, I think he has a point. The fairy tale of "Good vs. Evil" in WWII has more impact in today's culture and mindset than most people imagine - they ( the establishment ) need that fairy tale to mantain an "heroic" aura around armed forces all over the world and the modern version of imperialism alive, to spread "freedom and democracy" as we all know. This video is interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7vXKZciSok

Also an interesting figure is David Cole/Stein, who recently was outed and denounced for his "evil" past, and came out with a book: http://www.amazon.com/Republican-Party-Animal-Hollywoods-Underground/dp/1936239914

As the standard format, it's the same anti-denierophobic hater, same old, same old.

Robert M said (August 26, 2014):

What I like to call "Gobbledegook." Outstanding article. Yours continues to be the one of the hottest, most important websites on the Internet. Other political language examples? Hmm....I hate the way they use "mainstream." As if only adherents to the agenda have an enlightened outlook, and the majority of society has pretty much adopted it, because we're enlightened in this day and age. Only the backward and uneducated oppose it. Hence, "mainstream."

Krister said (August 26, 2014):

Using Illuminati (Jewish) propaganda-words as "anti-Semitic", "Holocaust", "Gas chambers", "extermination", "hate crime" and others, is in a similar way as 'doublespeach', very destructive for the Internet community and others trying to fight the Illuminati-Jewish hydra.

Very simply, as an example the false concept of "Holocaust" makes an aggressor into a victim, and giving anyone trying to fight Jewish or Zionist aggression, a intellectual 'prison ball chain' around the ankle. In a similar way, the word "anti-Semitic" uphold the lie of an ethnic(race) relation between the false Jews (Khazarians) and Palestine, and so handicapping any individual debating or active in resisting the racist terror entity of Israel.

So why is the activist or community trying to push back this hydra, still letting the hydra handicapping him or her, by using the propaganda-vocabulary of the aggressor? Isn't it time to use the full potential of debate, activity, protests and other measures, by breaking free from the leash of the hydra?

Also, we know that Jewish organisations controlling and driving the Holocaust-train, withhold, falsify or fabricate data or information, to give a false view that suite their agenda. In a similar way state archives in USA, Russia and Germany is doing the same. Therefore, as long as we haven't access to all the available data, and so in non-falsified form, we may also ask another question.

Doesn't the Jewish and other victims of decease and hunger in German work-camps, as well as the millions of victims in the Gulag-system and other labour-camps, deserve a more honorable way to uphold their memory, than accepting the lies and propaganda of the hydra behind their deaths.
--

Krister,

I regard both world wars, and most wars, as mainly goy genocides. But I do believe a lot of Jews were also murdered in WW2. I don't believe that the Nazis rounded up children, the aged and infirm in order to offer them free room and board. So I think the focus on holocaust denial actually does a disservice to the cause.

Aisha said (August 25, 2014):

"We must reclaim language and use it expose them for whom they are, the real "haters" of God and man." Well-said! It's interesting, just today I was thinking of writing a piece on my new blog (http://miraatu.wordpress.com) about language, and how powerful it is and how our imprisonment in it is twisting our worldviews.

There are verses in the Quran that allude to this twisted Jewish habit of doublespeak, including the following (verse 2:104): "O you who believe! Say not (to the Messenger) Ra'ina (رَاعِنَا ) but say Unzurna (انظُرْنَا)... " The historical context and commentary of this verse is that Raa'ina was an Arabic word which means "hear us out", in a polite way that a person might ask someone to pay attention to them. However, it was a curse word in Hebrew, and so the Jews would use this in front of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the Arabs, not knowing Hebrew, and considering the Jews to be a learned people, starting using the word as well in front of the Prophet (peace be upon him), much to the glee of the Jews at that time.... continued

Aisha2 said (August 25, 2014):

Anyway, here are a few more words for your lexicon:

Minor-attracted people - upcoming euphemism for pedophiles (http://www.wnd.com/2011/08/336869/)

Settlers - instead of "Occupiers" - as used perpetually by Zionist media for illegal and very often violent Israeli take-overs of innocent Palestinians' homes.

Euthanasia - the murder of elders, plain and simple, another turning issue into a "debate". (Apparently this is accompanied by "assisted *suicide*"?)

Tolerance - this is used particularly against religion, to the extent that anyone who openly adheres to their religion is sometimes automatically considered "intolerant". In Muslim communities especially, I can tell you the insistence of "tolerance" is being used to brainwash people into thinking that if one does not adopt the rituals and celebrations and symbols of other religions - then this is some kind of "intolerance". When in fact, true tolerance is to respect the actions and faiths of others while *adhering to your own*! If you entirely *adapt* (read, "impersonate") another culture or people you aren't being "tolerant", you're merely giving up your identity and adopting theirs!

Moderate Muslims - this is a word to denote those Muslims who selectively pick and choose which part of the religion they want to follow, (sort of what I've heard are cafeteria Christians"). In the true sense of being Muslim, therefore, they are Muslims whose faith and/or actions are imperfect.

Fundamentalist - this is a word used to describe those Muslims who try to adhere to Islam more than moderate Muslims, to the extent that they dress according to the Islamic culture that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) brought about with his revolution. (i.e. veils, beards and turbans). These people may or may not adhere to any other practices, at ALL, but this outwardly expression of religiosity is enough for them to be labeled fundamentalists, and therefore clumped together with "extremists" and "terrorists".

Now what's interesting is that in *reality*, if we were to look at the dictionary definitions of the words "moderate" and "fundamental", then moderate Muslims are actually deficient Muslims who practice Islam selectively, and fundamentalist Muslims are more practicing Muslims, the ones who hang onto the fundamentals of the religion. Given that the fundamentals include justice, honesty, and such, this ought to have meant that fundamentalists are actually better than moderates.
