“Billboards warning that voter fraud is a felony punishable with up to 3-and-a-half years and a $10,000 fine have been popping up in predominantly black neighborhoods in Cleveland, Cincinnati and Milwaukee.

American Capitalism has long employed their power in a devious manner against poor people all over the world that have long hated ‘The Ugly American’. While Hitler and his psychos were more up front, they letting everyone know where they were coming from, the American Money Nazis like to be invisible, make people squirm and suffer, wonder what is hitting them – from the darkness! This tactic of course is the definition of Satan ‘adversary’.
The original Hebrew term, satan, is a noun from a verb meaning primarily to, “obstruct, oppose,” as it is found in Numbers 22:22, 1 Samuel 29:4, Psalms 109:6.[5] Ha-Satan is traditionally translated as “the accuser,” or “the adversary.”
Satan found out in the wilderness – Jesus had no price – and thus was his adversaryy, because, everyone has a price! Satan wants everyone to do his bidding – and not God’s will. Jesus had no money to bully people with, and relied on attraction in order to convert people. The folks who paid for these spendy billboards have no faith their candiate will attract the people the message is intended for. Are they the 47% percent that Romney spoke of? How does this look to Libyans who were arrested by the tyrant they dispatched to hell when they tried to vote?
Black people in Ohio awoke to find they are being targeted by un-named men who have put up billboards in black neighborhoods warning voters they will go to jail if the commit an act of voter fraud. This is right out of Hitler’s playbook when he went after the Jews, beginning with criminalizing them and putting them in ghettos. These posters are Ghetto Makers. They are America’s Iron Curtian aimed at disenfranchising chosen voters, voters who Dark Men hope will be intimidated and stay in their homes come Voting Day.
In trying to discover who is behind America’s Iron Curtain that warns select people “Big Brother is watching you” the secret purveyors of fear and loathing in Ohio, describe themselves as a “Private Family Foundation.”
“A spokesperson for Clear Channel said that messaging was the responsibility of the advertiser, which is only identified on the sign as “a Private Family Foundation.”
The Big Koch brothers come to mind, these billionaires doing the good work of their father a leading evangelical. When you see the word “family” being applied to a Republican, the message is this person is a Christian, full of “family values”. The term “family values” also invokes the vision of a model white family in America who are home owners who voted the conservative ticket. The Christian-right would like to make it a law that only homeowners are allowed to vote, because there are millions of renters in the big cities, and big cities want the tax monies of the Suburbanites.
For years I have been ranting and raving about my “family values” I doing John Brown and ordering the Racist Christian Money Nazis out of the Republican Party founded by my kindred as a liberal abolitionist party bent on ending slavery in America -if not the whole world. Jessie Benton Fremont incurred the wrath of family members down South who were some of the wealthiest men – and women – in the United States. These traitors used their money to purchase arms from foreigners, then began to murder loyal Americans as they seceded from the Union. Jessies kindred murdered un-amred men and boys in Kansas so they could not vote against slavery.
Below is a political cartoon that was pro-money, because slavery was a big ugly business. “Corporations are people too!”
This cartoon shows presidential candidate, John Fremont, begging for votes from blacks, Catholics, bums, women liberationists, a free soiler, and those who promote FREE SEX. Here are your liberal hippies – of the future! Here are the original 47% percent. These alleged “parasites”were Republicans!
Hippies were in awe of the Civil Rights Movement. Hippies were against the war in Vietnam. Hippies were systematically made ILLEGAL by the United States Government. If you were busted for drugs, you could not vote. Money Nazis went to work on hippie and defamed us in every way possible. We were accused of having no family values.
Once again……………………Get the hell out of my families party and found your own party you psychotic pieces of shit who believe money is democratic power! You hate the idea of Freedom, because Freedom comes with Voters. It means, a man with no money can vote and have a voice.
Jesus had no money and was homeless. He said you could not follow him unless you hated your family. The attempt to make him a criminal was devious and non-stop. Consider the consequences if Obama does not win Ohio. Faith in our poltical system, will be shattered. But isn’tthat the real message. Evangelicals have no faith in politics and government. Therefor, these billboards are right out of Orwell’s 1984, and are a great example of Double Speak, they giving the appearence they are trying to protect Democracy, when in truth, they are destroying it.
This Dark Family is the epitome of a Bitter Neo-Confederate who will never get over losing the Civil War, and the loss of Southern Family Traditions where black folk were not allowed family traditions because they might be sold any minute. Ministers in the South used words from the Bible, and church pulpits to broadcast the lie that Jesus condones Slavery. How then can these Tea Bag neo-Confederates then claim Jesus is all for Democracy?
In the end, the faith of the Christian-right, is null and void, because their prayers to Jesus have not worked. They are still behind in the Ohio polls. Now they bring in the Dark Prince of Money Power who will go un-named lest we little poor people thwart his dark, and secret design for us.
“Big brother Jesus is watching you!”
“Voting is a crime!”
“Bribary is love!”
“Freedom is oppression!”

Billboards warning that voter fraud is a felony punishable with up to 3-and-a-half years and a $10,000 fine have been popping up in predominantly black neighborhoods in Cleveland, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. The ads are a blatant attempt at voter intimidation, say community leaders in Cleveland, where the signs were first noticed.
“There’s no other explanation for it,” said local councilwoman Phyllis Cleveland. “Particularly to put a sign like that in a black neighborhood like this? There’s been no evidence of voter fraud in this community that I can ever remember.”
Ohio is one of the most hotly-contested swing states in this year’s presidential election. Nearly 70 percent of voters in Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland, voted for Barack Obama last time around. The state has seen partisan feuding around elections procedures such as early voting and the counting of provisional ballots marred by poll-worker error, but does not require voters to show photo ID.
Christine Link, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, says the ad is protected by the First Amendment even if it’s perceived as racist, and would have to contain a specific threat to a defined group in order to be classified as criminal voter intimidation or harassment.
Another civil rights group, The Lawyers’ Committee For Civil Rights, based in Washington, sent a letter to Clear Channel, the owner of the billboards, asking that the ads be removed. The letter said that the ads “stigmatize the African-American community” and “attach an implicit threat of criminal prosecution to the civic act of voting.”
A spokesperson for Clear Channel said that messaging was the responsibility of the advertiser, which is only identified on the sign as “a Private Family Foundation.”
Doublethink, a word coined by George Orwell in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, describes the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in distinct social contexts.[1] It is related to, but distinct from, hypocrisy and neutrality. Its opposite is cognitive dissonance, where the two beliefs cause conflict in one’s mind. Doublethink is an integral concept of George Orwell’s dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. The word doublethink is part of Newspeak.

According to the novel, doublethink is:
“ To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget, whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself – that was the ultimate subtlety; consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word ‘doublethink’ involved the use of doublethink.[2] ”
“ The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them… 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 as long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies – all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.[2] ”
Orwell explains that the Party could not protect its iron power without degrading its people with constant propaganda. Yet knowledge of this brutal deception, even within the Inner Party itself, could lead to the implosion of the State. Although Nineteen Eighty-Four is most famous for the Party’s pervasive surveillance of everyday life, this control means that the population of Oceania – all of it and including the ruling elite – could be controlled and manipulated merely through the alteration of everyday thought and language. Newspeak is the method for controlling thought through language; doublethink is the method of directly controlling thought.
Earlier in the book, doublethink is explained as being able to control your memories, to be able to manually forget something, then to forget about forgetting. This is demonstrated by O’Brien, during the time when Winston Smith is being tortured toward the end of the book.
Newspeak incorporates doublethink, as it contains many words that create assumed associations between contradictory meanings, especially true of fundamentally important words such as good and evil, right and wrong, truth and falsehood, and justice and injustice.
In the case of workers at the Records Department in the Ministry of Truth, doublethink means being able to falsify public records, and then believe in the new history that they themselves have just rewritten. As revealed in Goldstein’s Book, the Ministry’s name is itself an example of doublethink: the Ministry of Truth is really concerned with lies. The other ministries of Airstrip One are similarly named: the Ministry of Peace is concerned with war, the Ministry of Love is concerned with torture, and the Ministry of Plenty is concerned with starvation. The three slogans of the Party – War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength – are also examples.[1]
Moreover, doublethink’s self-deception allows the Party to maintain huge goals and realistic expectations:
If one is to rule, and to continue ruling, one must be able to dislocate the sense of reality. For the secret of rulership is to combine a belief in one’s own infallibility with the power to learn from past mistakes.
Thus each Party member could be a credulous pawn but would never lack relevant information, the Party being both fanatical and well informed and thus unlikely either to “ossify” or “grow soft” and collapse. Doublethink would avoid a “killing the messenger” attitude that could disturb the Command structure. Thus doublethink is the key tool of self-discipline for the Party, complementing the state-imposed discipline of propaganda and the police state. These tools together hide the government’s evil not just from the people but from the government itself – but without the confusion and misinformation associated with primitive totalitarian regimes.
Doublethink is critical in allowing the Party to know what its true goals are without recoiling from them, avoiding the conflation of a regime’s egalitarian propaganda with its true purpose.[citation needed]
Paradoxically, during the long and harrowing process in which the protagonist Winston Smith is systematically tortured and broken, he contemplates using doublethink as the ultimate recourse in his rebellion – to let himself become consciously a loyal party member while letting his hatred of the party remain an unconscious presence deep in his mind and let it surface again at the very moment of his execution so that “the bullet would enter a free mind” which the Thought Police would not have a chance to tamper with again.
Since 1949 (when Nineteen Eighty-Four was published) the word doublethink has become synonymous with relieving cognitive dissonance by ignoring the contradiction between two world views – or even of deliberately seeking to relieve cognitive dissonance. Some schools of psychotherapy such as cognitive therapy encourage people to alter their own thoughts as a way of treating different psychological maladies (see cognitive distortions).
Orwell’s “doublethink” is also credited with having inspired the commonly used “Doublespeak” which itself does not appear in the book. Comparisons have been made between Doublespeak and Orwell’s descriptions on political speech from his essays Politics and the English Language in which “unscrupulous politicians, advertisers, religionists, and other doublespeakers of whatever stripe continue to abuse language for manipulative purposes”.[3]
