New York Times urges Biden admin to launch Ministry of Truth to fight independent media online

The New York Times is lobbying the Biden administration to launch a ‘Ministry of Truth’ to censor independent media online.

In an article entitled, ‘How the Biden Administration Can Help Solve Our Reality Crisis’, the NYT’s Kevin Roose cites “experts” who are calling on “the Biden administration put together a cross-agency task force to tackle disinformation and domestic extremism, which would be led by something like a ‘reality czar.'”

The role of the “reality czar” would be to head up “a centralized task force could coordinate a single, strategic response” to information online that goes against the mainstream narrative, including articles deemed to be “conspiracy theories.”

“This task force could also meet regularly with tech platforms, and push for structural changes that could help those companies tackle their own extremism and misinformation problems. (For example, it could formulate “safe harbor” exemptions that would allow platforms to share data about QAnon and other conspiracy theory communities with researchers and government agencies without running afoul of privacy laws.) And it could become the tip of the spear for the federal government’s response to the reality crisis,” the article states.

Summit.news reports: “Ah, the Ministry of Truth. I’ve been waiting for this one,” responded Raheem Kassam.

While the Orwell comparison has become something of a cliché, in this instance its the best available.

In the book, the Ministry of Truth decides what is “truth” in Oceania no matter what the actual truth may be, and exercises this monopoly over reality by falsifying the nature of historical events.

The Ministry of Truth also uses this power monopoly to redefine the very word “truth” under the rubric of Newspeak, so “truth” becomes whatever the government-approved version of events is in that moment.

What the “experts” cited by the New York Times are calling far and what Orwell portrayed in his book are so similar, even Kevin Roose admits, “It sounds a little dystopian.”

But if “conspiracy theories” really do pose a deadly threat to society, who is responsible for pushing the most egregious disinformation?

As we have exhaustively documented – the most harmful “conspiracy theories,” – such as Saddam Hussein’s non-existent WMD’s and supporting “freedom fighters” who were actually jihadists in Libya and Syria – are always exclusively peddled by the mainstream media.

The corporate press pushing these two whoppers created the consensus for war that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and an international migrant crisis.

The New York Times was one of the most prominent outlets that amplified both these damaging deceptions and yet they faced no consequences whatsoever.

Such lies are also far more harmful to society because mainstream media networks have the biggest platforms, they are amplified by rigged social media platforms, and they share a common consensus narrative with each other, meaning there is almost no room for questioning or debate.

If there really was a truly independent “reality czar,” the media would be big trouble because its entire raison d’être is predicated around distorting reality.

  1. 2 Timothy 3

    King James Version

    3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

    2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

    3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

    4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

    5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

    6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

    7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

  2. It’s one thing when tech companies censor people. It would be quite another if the government steps in and takes an active role in censoring people. This would be a clear violation of the 1st Amendment. But what the hell, Democrats have crapped all over the Constitution for decades.

    • While calling it various names they feel with Biden the web is part of Biden’s America Renewal dot com a one world website where ALL our sources go and they control what goes on to weed out ‘low quality’ articles and comments if allowed at all.

  3. They have perpetrated the greatest conspiracy on earth ,a d for centuries by deceiving tbe world that they’re Christian’s Christiams dont orchestrate blood baths like the paris mob or the ” communsits ” of the world nor the hell of the goodies fighting evil for freedoms sake they perpetrate Deceivers and they’re all in it together either by their stupidity their naivette or their complicity.

  4. Here’s some truth then :One of UKs highest ranking cops to Jon Wedger whistle-blower of police failures to deal with pedophilia regarding his up coming court case where he’s suing the police fir failure, “you have no idea how big this you have no idea who your up against this is so big you will be thrown to the wolves and no one can help you.” Let’s see msm report that Let’s see them report on Wilfred Wing, now in jail former barrister and outspoken whistle-blower on satanic ritual abuse. Let’s see them report why Italy Chief Prosecutor was Ordered not to investigate any further complaints about satanic crimes even of murder. Let’s see the truth about these FACTS of the MATTER. Let’s see the Facts of the Matter investigated rather than sile ced and buried along with the corpses of evidence.

  5. To be fair most of the sites out there are far left propaganda or flat earth ‘quack’ news often with agendas of their own or used as PSYOP warfare tactics. We don’t HAVE truth and abandoned it as soon as we abandoned God and The Bible.
