What
happened to the truth?
The
danger of relativism and plain deception
If you control the language you control
their thinking and their culture. Give them little doses of deception and they
will be cooked like the frog in a kettle, a little at time. A society is doomed
when it can no longer deal with reality because the people are living in a
state of illusion.
Political correctness is deceiving our
society to the point of people being numb to the truth. Political correctness
is elusive, misleading, and plain stupid. Sounds like a Trump word. No wonder
the establishment and the media hates Trump while the people are going by the
10s of thousands to his public meetings. Could he be speaking the truth in a
language that people can understand? Progressive populists and relativists are
destroying the fabric of our nation. Political correctness has created a
massive and aggressive mediocrity in America.
Why not use plain, direct, and
descriptive language so people can understand. When the truth makes us mad
perhaps it is time to do something about it. Vote them out! How about calling
things for what they are? Here are 7 misleading terms with their corresponding
translations:
1.
Post-traumatic stress disorder. Translation - shell
shock, a term used to describe the impact of horrors on the soldiers coming
out of World War I. How did we get there? By going from shell shock to battle
fatigue to operational exhaustion
to post-traumatic stress disorder. The
new four word description lessens the blow, doesn’t it?
2.
Vertically deployed antipersonnel devices. Translation –
bombs. You figure this one out! Hint! It explodes and kills.
3.
Employee alignment. Translation – firing. How
did we get there? By going from firing to re-engineering to down-sizing
to right-sizing to employee alignment. I am sure there
are many other fancy terms used to denote firing.
4.
Federal Reserve Bank. Translation – private
without any reserves. Go to the Fed site at your own risk! There you may
find this very clear language. Reverse Repos - In 2013, the Fed began to issue reverse repos to banks. The Fed
"borrows" money from banks overnight. It pays them interest for this
"loan." It uses its holdings of U.S. Treasuries as collateral. Like
all repurchase agreements, banks don't record it as a loan. The interest it
pays will support the Fed funds rate as the Fed gradually raises it. I am
so glad you understood!
5. Fractional
Reserve Banking. Translation – fake money loaning. Banks are allowed
to loan out 10 times the money they have in reserves. The banks loan fake money
to you and me and we are required to pay back in real money; you know that
portion of your paycheck. Imagine if
depositors all go to their banks at the same time and demand their money!
6. Quantitative
Easing. Translation – fake currency printing. When the federal
government needs money the Fed issues fake currency out of thin air, sends it
to the banks and charges interest for doing it. That is why it is called Fiat
money. There is no back up for it whatsoever. Imagine you going to your
basement and turn on your money printing machine and take the money to the bank
to pay off your mortgage. Advice. Don’t do it! You will be charged with fraud,
be arrested, and go to jail.
7.
Just and sustainable economy. Translation –
socialism. It is not just and not sustainable; we all ought to know that!
Socialism comes disguised in so many terms and all of the descriptions on the
surface sound right and just.
And the list can go on and on. Here is a little more jargon
for you: Affordable Housing Disposition
Program, Liquidation Grade Federal Employee, Real Estate Mortgage Investment
Conduit, and Expanded Counterparties for Reverse Repos.
Thank
you for reading and reflecting on today’s nuggets.
Be blessed and be a
blessing to others
