Newspeak used to smear The Light

They cancel our events, attack political meetings and damage property but brand us as fascists

- DARREN SMITH

THE management of people's perceptions is vital if you want them to think a certain way; such as to consider your enemies as their enemies.

In the 1930s, Germans were told to consider Jews as rats and vermin, othering an entire section of the population through the use of propaganda and perception management.

When the establishment wants to attack its enemies today, it uses language in the same way to 'other' them, so in the minds of the public, any attack is justified, even when it is based on outright lies.

More recent examples are the disgusting treatment of football fans following the Hillsborough disaster, so the grave mistakes of the police and other officials were overlooked and it is implied that the victims somehow deserved it.

Even decades after the tragedy, some still believe the fans were responsible.

Almost all false flag attacks also work in this way: a terror attack is staged, and the emotion is amplified and reinforced until any response is justified.

The so-called War on Terror following the staged demolition of three World Trade Centre buildings and the no-plane attack on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, is an obvious example.
