Others want the Biden White House to establish various versions of George Orwell\u2019s Ministry of Truth, which was itself a ministry of propaganda. The Democrats and allied activists are itching to shut down speech they don\u2019t agree with, but do it under the cover of preserving and honoring \u201ctruth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Odd, isn\u2019t it, that the same people who claim to be so interested in truth and reality today for four years couldn\u2019t stop talking about how the Russians put Donald Trump in the White House? Maybe they\u2019re engrossed only with their version of the truth \u2013 their own fantasies and efforts to indoctrinate an entire population.<\/p>\n<p>A country and a culture are in trouble when those in authority allow only one voice to be heard, when they decide what is acceptable speech and what isn\u2019t, when the controversial and the unpopular are treated as crimes to be punished. Biden hasn\u2019t bitten \u2013 yet \u2013 on a reality czar or ministry of truth. But under his administration, this country is shaping up as a banana republic. Think about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How the Democrats want to turn the economy into one that\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Banana_republic\">operated as a private commercial enterprise for the exclusive profit of the ruling class<\/a>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The Democrats\u2019 retribution-filled, Reichstag-fire response to the breach of the U.S. Capitol by a group made up mostly of odd characters and some everyday Americans who got overheated and were shocked by their own behavior, all of them apparently unarmed.<\/li>\n<li>How a summer of real riots was tacitly, and at times, overtly supported by Biden\u2019s party.<\/li>\n<li>The second impeachment of Trump that is not an attempt to seek justice but a campaign to prevent him from running again for president and marginalizing his supporters.<\/li>\n<li>The lies about the promise of unity.<\/li>\n<li>Phony charges against political opponents designed to dehumanize them.
