Not just our established religion of Political Correctness, but EVERY ruling group uses the Orwellian Memory Hole. When something it is known for advocating, EVERY ruling group ceases to mention it.
That, after all, is the main POINT of being in control of Opinion, to dictate what is remembered and what is NOT to be remembered.
That is one of the main things respectable conservatives are paid for. National Review grovels before Saint Martin Luther the King and never mentions the disastrous failures of liberalism. NR avoids gun control like the plague.
In other words, if all you have is a huge file of things the media DO say, you are deaf. If you only discuss what they DO say, which is what respectable conservatives get paid for, you are deaf.
How many times have you heard anyone with a paycheck from the media quote what segregationists said integration would lead to?
In the 1960s Hans Eysenck wrote an article for National Review predicting that integration would damage most blacks by having its natural leaders melt into white suburban society, leaving the mass of blacks devoid of leadership and talent. Since then, I have read numerous articles in the mainline media about how this has happened.
Usually when a magazine makes a deadly accurate prediction, it proudly quotes it regularly.
It will be a long, cold day in the Eight Circle of Hell before National Review or any other respectable conservative publication quotes that Eysenck prophecy.
When I was trying to get thousands of Stormfront readers to notice I was tearing the guts out of anti-whites in Opposing Views, they obediently talked about Iraq and ONLY Iraq, which was the media’s choice of Big Issues.
I worked hard, I spent money, but I was stopped by people who didn’t listen to the silence.

George Orwell was a genius, especially considering the ideas he came up with. All ruling Classes DO have their Memory Holes. I fear that much of Soviet sins will go down the Memory Hole, and that is why I bring them up!

Made me think about how you don’t have to be Chinese to read Sun Tsu, or Italian Machievelli, everybody can get the same books unless they’re being burned. Ideas for power are ideas for power.
People on the “right” (like militarist-corporatist-medicalist-jingoist Respectable “Republicans”) believe something is “left” just b/c the idea was rooted in Trotsky’s thought, Marx, Gramsci, etc. Heard the phrase “Gramscian Right,” which shows some people on that guy’s kind of “right” awakened to the idea that they, too, could use Gramsci’s ideas for their own thing.
Every trick can be used by anybody, but people on defense usually don’t notice it if they’re whining about what is being done to them instead of fighting.
Memory Hole is a pain. One main inoculation is simply knowing it occurs. Like double-questioning one’s responses at every turn is a way to challenge oneself instead of talking by rote, in accordance with the script, and using ready-made phrases like “white guilt” when what you really feel fear, over real violence, or threats of it, or at betrayal by a system that did not protect you or whatever.
Sometimes Memory Hole can go so fast that even brain dead and very young people remember things that never happened, or expect msm to reference again something huge and pertinent that never is mentioned again. Everywhere becomes like the proverbial flatulent guy in the formal setting, with no one saying a word.
There’s nothing more annoying to people flushing information than a person who keeps bringing up old business. It’s like a husband or wife, who knows absolutely all the dirt, and just won’t shut up about it.
Daddy always said ‘absence is a presence.’ Silence is always something not being said. There is something there, even if it looks empty, the way an empty glass has air in it.

Put it forth in a question form; “Do you remember this or that?”
We are conducting an intergogation, we do not shriek.

I love the phase “hearing the silence”. What power it has!
It gets to the heart of the plague of Wordism. Wordism has it that if it isn’t articulated, it doesn’t exist.
People don’t trust their own minds. They are incredibility dependent on words. And also they don’t realize the extent to which the cunning bullies that dominate everybody else are aware of that fact.
Any plausible lie will do for the Establishment. Any!
It is so easy to rope people and tether them to lies. It is the easiest thing in the world, yet very few people realize it.
“Hearing the silence”. That phase is great. You can make a revolution with that phrase.

Perhaps we could broker a deal with the anti-white establishment?
“How about we stop telling the truth about their program of white genocide the moment they stop telling lies (and silencing dissidents).”
Of course, we all know neither party has to worry about compromising their agenda.
The silence is DEAFENING…

Well, one of the more devious tactics of the Left is to alter the language. Certain words are erased from common usage, to be replaced with euphemisms. Some words, erased altogether!

The news media’s greatest power is the power to not report.

That is correct. They lie by omission! They almost never speak of what happens, not only in Communist countries, but also what happens in the Third World!

The first rule of White geNOcide is “Do not talk about White geNOcide.”

The anti whites always leave out “code word” when they adress the mantra. They always want to shorten it down to “anti racist is anti white”. The silent words say it all.
They like to talk IN code words. They hate to talk ABOUT code words.

The Federal Department of Reeducation and the Media Mafia don’t just misrepresent the Truth, they also distract from the Truth, and hide the Truth.
Our job is to EXPOSE the Truth!
