Making people believe the opposite of the truth, and putin is connected to it. Putins done the same thing while he's stolen billions from Russia's government, and its people, and why he's worth now hundreds of billions now.

Just like the "islamic state" or other terrorists. Their heads can be chopped off and they can be severely weakened.

But this type of slime mold will continue to be able to infest.

Constant vigilance and cleanliness are the best antidote.

It used to be required reading in high school, but I really doubt it's part of the curriculum now. Orwell was brilliant and so prescient, his writings would be explosive on any high school campus now. However most high schools shy away from anything "political" any more. Too many parents are causing scenes over controversial subjects, getting teachers fired.

Hate to say it - this is why America has been "dumbed down" to the lowest common denominator.

tRump is quoting Orwell and people still follow him. It is unbelievable. I watched Farenheit 11/9 last night for the first time, and still can't believe Snyder hasn't been criminally charged. What has this country come to?
