How Language is Employed

In Vietnam, the first troops ashore were on missions to "soften up" areas later to be invaded by larger forces -- making it easier for those larger forces to succeed in their missions.

 

It is the same with Language Deception.

 

The most corrupt example that comes to mind is "weapons of mass destruction." Commercial airplanes were used! Does that make all airplanes WMDs? No, but a new phrase was introduced to the public to "soften up" people to accept emotional Language Deception while their thinking brains were paralyzed. Mere words, carefully arranged and repeated enough in persuasive enough tones, are able to cause the human mind to conjure up scenarios that savvy wordsmiths know will send the public running for "protection" -- even though no protection is actually needed.

 

Other interesting ways in which language has been used: "war on drugs," "war on terror," "insurgents," "guest workers," etc.

 

It is the same with "invasive," "native," "non-native," "alien," "threatened," "at risk," etc. "Habitat" and "critical habitat" are others.

 

People's emotional sides are being "softened up" to accept more and more restriction -- the idea that a benevolent government will somehow "protect" them from such things -- or that they actually need such "protection."

 

Today it was announced that "air marshals" are now going to be deployed to trains, buses and even car parking lots. Not that there's a real need for them, but so that people will feel "protected."

 

What is encouraging are the numbers of people who are awakening to the Language Deception -- and, once awakened, can never again read or listen with their emotions. They've come to realize that "warm and fuzzy" words are being used as traps to steal their freedom, their property rights.

 

Kelo v. New London did America a huge favor. It proved that people can fathom the horrors of illegal and run-amok use of eminent domain -- that no one's home, land or business is safe from something that's higher up on the economic/power food chain.

 

Stay awake, America! There's more to come, and the sooner you learn the ways in which Language Deception is being used to steal your freedom, the better you will be able to protect that freedom.

 

Chicken Little's frantic "Sky is falling" warning may simply be a ruse to clear the streets.
