State ripped for attempt to create ‘1984’-style ‘Ministry of Truth’
The “Ministry of Truth” appeared in “1984,” a creation of author George Orwell, and it was assigned to deal with the dissemination of lies.
Since then, Joe Biden has been accused a number of times of trying to create that very entity, through his now-defunct “Disinformation Governance Board” and more.

Now there’s a specific plan being offered in Washington State that is, in fact, nothing more than a “state-level ‘Ministry of Truth.'”
That’s according to Live Finne, of the Washington Policy Center, who charged the new legislative proposal “would criminalize certain forms of expression based on what members of a state commission consider to be their definition of ‘domestic extremism.’ Creating a state-level ‘Ministry of Truth’ would not only undermine democratic norms, but it would have a chilling effect on public debate, freedom of speech, and civic participation in Washington state.”
Finne explained the bill would let government officials “decide whose words and whose speech would be subject to criminal prosecution” and that the state attorney general “would increase surveillance of citizens for perceived violations of words and speech prohibitions.”
“Citizens would be encouraged to report friends and neighbors to the state for officially-banned phrases, thoughts, and expressions,” Finne said.
The Post Millennial explained in a report the pending plan already was approved by a state House committee.
It’s effect would be to create a 13-member commission to address incidents of “domestic violent extremism.”
Attorney General Bob Ferguson has described that as including “noncriminal activities and speech,” the report said.
