 The twilight Zone of Alternative Facts



January 24, 2017

Twilight Zone

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone! ...Opening narration, Season 2

....A man, an old man wearing a white robe can be seen walking along a deserted highway at sunset. He is carrying a sign, the sign, written in gold and red letters, reads...

"THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS".

"WE INTEND TO TO TELL THE TRUTH" “I think sometimes we can disagree with the facts. There are certain things that we may not fully understand when we come out, but our intention is never to lie to you.” Jan. 23, 2017

Another man approaches. He's dressed in a suit and tie. The lectern he is burdened with has the Great Seal of the United States emblazoned on the front. The name written on the  placard of the lectern reads Sean Spicer.

He pauses and asks the robed man a question. Upon hearing the answer, the man carrying the lectern throws it to the side of the road and joins the man with a white robe. They see a sign ahead. It reads

"THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE"

And they're giving Sean Spicer, our press secretary, gave alternative facts to that. But the point remains--                                                                                                                        CHUCK TODD: Wait a minute-- Alternative facts?

You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter their facts to fit their views.  Dr Who Jan 22 1977 40 years to the day before Conway's Alternative Facts

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.  Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Power is tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.


.......Doublethink is the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them..........the answer to Trumps contradictions             1984. Orwell
