The Ministry of Truth

The Ministry of Truth

Orwell nailed it as usual

The Dissident reports:

Naftali Bennett Is Running A Campaign To 'Fix Israel's Hasbara'.

Announcing his plan, Bennett laid out an organized attempt to run social media troll farms and to plant Israeli propagandists in media in order to silence criticism and factual reporting on Israel’s war crimes.

He said that he will “establish a powerful national hasbara authority:

The authority will set Israel’s messaging strategy, coordinate between bodies, and ensure that the Israeli response is swift, unified, and professional. It will have an independent budget, a professional director, and its own power”.

So Orwell's concept of a Ministry of Truth (post Soviet era) finally becomes reality.

Expect many other countries to follow Israel's lead to create their own Ministries of Truth in order to fully control the - often fake - narratives about their countries.

Ukraine has also done a brilliant job of this during the war with Russia as Iuliia Mendel revealed to Tucker Carlson:

The EU is clearly a firm favourite for following Israel's lead as it would be a bit rich for the UK to go down this path given that Nineteen Eighty Four was written by a Brit.
