He had a golden chance to rename NPR to National Propaganda Radio. He would need divert some of the National Guard to help squeegee up the exploded heads of statists everywhere.
Interestingly, it was Truman who changed it to "defense" in 1947; and Orwell's 1984 was published in 1949. So there seems to be a good chance it was at least in part a documentary.
Ironically, "Department of Defense" is the name change. The four original executive departments of the U.S. government were, in 1789, the Dept. of State, Dept. of the Treasury, Attorney General, and the Dept. of War.
The Dept. of Defense, as a moniker, was created in 1947.
Yes the verbiage techniques were started heavily then by the post WW2 administration of Truman. National Security 1947 and then war department to defense department. War is offensive and defense is defensive like you are reacting not being the actor. We must really understand the epistemological warfare we are in
A rose by any other name...

Orwell.
He said part of newspeak was to switch the names of the ministry of war to "ministry of defense."
Trump is making Orwell happy!
Ackshually... Trump is changing it back.

yes Truman did alter it then. It was the War department. Same year of the national Security state officially launched.
This would explain my nightmare (truly). *sigh

Well before when it was the Department of War we usually won.
Since it’s become the Department of Defense we usually lose.

Praying those days are over!
Off topic: the like/restack bar is missing on Posts...started a few days ago. I've checked for updates, nothing. Any ideas?
I’m not using the app, only a browser. Apart from a few episodes of unbearable slowness, everything has been fine lately.
Kk, thanks
War is fraud.
