 Orwell - Obama Proves Him Right George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four introduced and defined Newspeak, a mind-bending lexicon that includes a term worth mulling over today, as the armed forces of the United States wage war in partnership with al Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood against Moammar Ghadafi’s regime in Libya. The term to which I’m referring – doublethink – can be found in the Merriam-Webster dictionary: dou•ble•think (‘d&-b&l-”thi[ng]k), noun, Date: 1949 : a simultaneous belief in two contradictory ideas.
Doublethink is a dizzying concept. In her syndicated column last week, Diana West examined America’s de facto cross-over to the side of them who wish to destroy us and replace our Constitutional system of governance with sharia (Muslim law). And this changing of sides happened so quickly that if one blinked his eyes, the entire picture of the War was altered in a heartbeat – by a President who engineered the shift to aid our enemies without the slightest regard (again) for the constraints of the Constitution. And as Diana West wrote – Congress is “flat-lined.” Impotent. Here’s a story from the UK Telegraph, wherein the leader of the “revolt” in Libya, jihadist Abdel-Hakin al-Hasidi, shared his words of wisdom: “In an interview with the Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore, Mr al-Hasidi admitted that he had recruited “around 25″ men from the Derna area in eastern Libya to fight against coalition troops in Iraq. Some of them, he said, are “today are on the front lines in Adjabiya”…”
Indeed. And our Naval aviators are now flying sortees in support of this man’s jihadist army. But let’s go on, shall we: “…Mr al-Hasidi insisted his fighters “are patriots and good Muslims, not terrorists,” but added that the “members of al-Qaeda are also good Muslims and are fighting against the invader”…”
You see, good Muslims wage jihad against Infidels (that’s us, folks). Terrorists kill innocent people. Infidels are not considered to be innocent within the doctrine of Islam. And the “invaders” to which al-Hasidi alludes are – the Armed Forces of the United States of America. Wait. There’s more: “…Mr al-Hasidi admitted he had earlier fought against “the foreign invasion” in Afghanistan, before being “captured in 2002 in Peshwar, in Pakistan”. He was later handed over to the US, and then held in Libya before being released in 2008…”
What the Telegraph isn’t telling you here is that word has it that al-Hasidi was one of the Gitmo detainees who was released from custody as a non-threat. So, let’s look at this Libyan civil war situation in an Orwellian doublethink context: 1) Al-Qaida operatives killed nearly 3,000 Americans on Spetember 11, 2001, plunging the United States into this endless war. 2) Al-Qaida is a first-generation spawn of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood wants the caliphate restored and sharia imposed throughout the entire world. 3) America is at war with al-Qaida and “radical Islam”. 4) Al-Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood are bad. 5) Moammar Ghadafi is killing his own citizens to suppress an al-Qaida revolt. 6) [Alleged] President Obama says that Moammar Ghadafi must be removed from power. 7) Al-Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood are fighting against Ghadafi. 8) [Alleged] President Obama sends the U.S. armed forces to assist al-Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood in overthrowing the evil Ghadafi by providing air cover and bombardment with Tomahawk missiles. 9) Ghadafi is bad. 10) The United States has joined forces with al-Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood in the fight against Ghadafi. 11) Al-Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood are good.
