Illusionists, Elitists, and Shamans: An American Oligarchy

In George Orwell’s nightmare vision from the novel, 1984, its New Speak says:War is Peace,Freedom is Slavery,Ignorance is strength.In this America, thanks to labelers and spin doctors:Common courtesy and respect is Political Correctness,Protection of Constitutional rights is Big Government,Tax breaks for the wealthy are Tax Reform,The highest income 1% is Middle Class,Hypocrisy and Paranoia disguise themselves as Patriotism,Outlawing union protection is the Right to Work,Inconvenient Truth is Humanist Hysteria,And Destruction of Innocent Lives is Collateral Damage.It is a country where quality of health care is dictated by business expediency, and homeless camps are reminiscent of the hobo camps of the 1930s. It is a country where it is forbidden for federal agencies to use words objectionable to campaign contributors. It is a country where people make God in their image not the other way around, and the health of citizens hinges on economic expediency.
