This page is only for those who are willing to face some unpleasant, uncomfortable, and unpalatable realities. The focus is on the attempt by the few to control the lives of the many.  To the best of my ability only those sources which I believe to be credible are included.

George Orwell. 1984  "Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them." ... "the essential act of the Party is to use conscious deception while retaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty. To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while take account of the reality that one denies ..."
