The Communist Media Finally Exposed: The Real Culture War
NOTE: Here are three quotes that penetrate to the heart of the problem in our media and culture today.
“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” Theodore Dalrymple 1
1. Theodore Dalrymple, “Our Culture, What’s Left of it,” interview by James Glazov,

“The civilization of dhimmitude* does not develop all at once. It is a long process that involves many elements and a specific mental conditioning. It happens when people replace history by myths, when they fight to uphold these destructive myths more than their own values because they are confused by having transformed lies into truth…They replace history with childish tales, thus living in amnesia, inventing moral justification for their own self-destruction.” Bat Ye’ or
*Dhimmitude, is the term historian Bat Ye’or has introducd to the lexicon to describe a mode of behavior or state of mind fostered by sharia-sanctioned religious inferiority.
“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”
George Orwell
All of these quotes come from Diana West’s new book, “The Death of the Grown-Up” St. Martin’s Press, 2007.
