AOC Pushes For Ministry of Truth

By Mike Huckabee

January 16, 2021

After four years of hearing that Donald Trump is an authoritarian dictator and the biggest threat to freedom of the press ever – and hearing it from media outlets that attacked him publicly and relentlessly, with no fear of ever being censored, imprisoned or shot, like, you know, a dictator would have – there now is a serious threat to freedom of the press. And it’s coming from the media’s “progressive” darling and Vogue cover model, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The fascist fashionista and her “progressive” acolytes are pushing for the creation of a government Ministry of Truth to help “rein in” the press and combat “misinformation.” She said, “It’s one thing to have differentiating opinions but it’s another thing entirely to just say things that are false. So that’s something that we’re looking into.”

Of course, that presumes that in the realm of political opinion, you can make an objective judgement of what is “false” (of course, it’s always the ideas that whoever is in power disagrees with) and that comments she thinks are "false" aren't protected by the First Amendment.

I think that I can make a far better case than she can that most of what she believes in is false. We actually have a century’s worth of evidence that socialism inevitably leads to corruption, oppression and starvation. We can also judge whether leftist or conservative policies work better by just comparing how many people are moving from California to Texas to how many are going the other way. Even so, I would never tell her she’s not allowed to go on Twitter and spout uninformed nonsense about socialism. But I would like to retain the freedom to respond to it.

Read this New York Post article about this real threat to freedom of the press. And the Post should know, since their accurate scoop about Hunter Biden’s foreign money scandals was branded as fake news and blocked by social media and other news outlets seeking to influence the election – and it worked, as a poll found that up to 17% of Biden voters wouldn’t have supported him if they’d known some of the stories about him that were suppressed.

In a related story, watch the staff of Politico go absolutely bonkers at the news that conservative Ben Shapiro would guest-edit just one edition of its morning Playbook feature. Just as at the New York Times, they completely melt down at the prospect that someone who has a different viewpoint might be allowed to express it even once. “Tolerance, diversity and inclusion!”

    The Democrats are attempting to turn the USA into part of the NWO to be run by the Antichrist.

    Congressperson AOC has also described the South as "repressed." It seems that she is proposing a "re-education" of the unwoke people who live in the South.

    Mike you have summed-up AOC quite elegantly. She would not recognize the truth if it hit her across the buttocks. Our government is seriously lacking in truth it appears. Even if the truth was told, there is so much misinformation and distrust now that everyone doubts and attempts to decide with is truth and what is hogwash. We are truly picking like chickens do at food scattered on the ground.
    The sad part is in my opinion we will never have trust back in our government until information we are given is the TRUTH, for out of truth comes trust.

    As a cop I used to tell kids that Trust is like a savings account. You have to make a lot of little deposits into that account until you have a balance you can draw against. Our country is way overdrawn on trust because of a lack of truth..

    Mike, thanks for all you do to bring truth and encouragement.
    I am a Trump policy supporter. I have up to now, criticized his lack of decorum, but lately have begun to look at all this from a different angle.
    I can think of no one who has been hated (and persecuted) more for little apparent reason, than Donald Trump (and anyone supporting him) since Jesus Himself. Adding to that is the people closest to him that should know him best, speak of his sincere care and kindness towards those who most need it.
    Therefore, this leads me to believe I too may have misjudged him—or his true character. He is probably the very opposite of all these haters as much so as Jesus was to those that wanted Him crucified.
    Just a thought, coming alongside all the other concerns I have for our nation —and yet seeking a correct perspective in the midst of so much corruption.
    1. Do we yet have hope to ever see voting fraud uncovered and integrity restored? This never did get a fair hearing in any court!
    2. Will we ever see the day when we might get term limits on Congress?

    SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK TO SEE IF SHE GOT A MOB TOGETHER BEFOREHAND SO THEY COULD DISCREDIT TRUMP SAYING HE HAD THEM DESTROY THE CAPITAL. I BELIEVE THE DEMOCRATS KNEW WHAT WAS GOING DOWN. THIS HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT UP TO PELOSI AND SHE SHOULD STAND TRIAL AND TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TEST, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY AMERICANS WILL KNOW. SHE MIGHT HAVE BLOOD ON HER HANDS.
    THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF, GET HER OUT.

    I do not understand how Democrats and some Republicans can accuse President Trump of "inciting" a riot when he spoke of peacefully protesting. Peaceful.
    Plus they're basing it on the speech he gave on January 6th, and the break-in of the Capital started before he even finished his speech. The timeline doesn't support that the people who broke into the Capital were influenced by his speech. Plus, FBI is now saying that a day before on January 5 they had indications of a planned attack was in the making several days before.
    The Federalist has an article from somebody who was there at the rally who saw different groups of people that did not look like regular Trump supporters who were ready tactically and militarily. Trump has never supported violence. He is always been for respecting police, law and order.
    I plan on "fighting" for my freedom of speech and freedom of religion, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to bear arms and go shoot somebody or break rules. I'm going to write my legislators and senators and representative. The word "fight" can be used in many different ways.
    Democrats have egged on riots ever since May: Harris and Biden's campaign both gave money to get rioters out of prison in Minneapolis; Maxine Waters is known for telling people to get intoTrump's supporters faces and Harris them; Democrats and congressional members now seem to only care because their lives were in danger, what about all the lives in Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, New York, DC, Kenosha, or people and policemen who were killed, blinded, given concussions, spat upon with a virus? Democrats haven't lifted a finger to do anything about that.
    I am 74 and upset. In my state of Michigan, along with Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada I listened to hours of hearings of witnesses who testified to seeing fraud and irregularities in our elections.
    I can't believe that Joe Mansion would want to punish Hawley and Cruz who were only doing their jobs of representing us who have been defrauded of our vote. Democrats during other elections have objected to electors. It's all Constitutional. Congress seems to be forgetting about the Constitution.
    Besides that, the House didn't even follow proper impeachment procedures. There was no defining of their language in "The articles of impeachment", and no specific evidence presented, just generalizations. Seven hours to impeach somebody is obviously political only, not rational.
    Thank you for listening.

    Thanks for writing about this. When I heard her comments, a chill ran down my spine. This follows her comment that if the Dems won GA senate seats, “we don’t have to negotiate ... we can do whatever we want.” May God have mercy on America and protect His children.

    Thank you once again Governor for your insight on this delusional person. But unfortunately these are the times we are living in. I have read several articles that the under 40 crowd favor socialism. This has been coming on for 40 years. The uphill battle us conservatives face is a daunting task to get our constitutional republic back from our elected royalty that constitutes our political monarchy that we have now. I look for the current puppet administration to enact some sort of truth ministry, but under a different name to hide the real intent of it’s supposed mission. The next 4 years will be very interesting to see where. They take this country. I believe that our foray into socialism will be short lived when the sheeple realize what ha happened to them by their inattentive nature to political discourse. The only problem we will have to overcome are the PERFECTLY LEGL ELECTIONS that the democrats are so proud of

    “AOC” Is a NON SOBER woman who is pro premeditated baby murder business and has absolutely zero respect for the word of the one and only almighty GOD and has told multiple reporters that she did NOT take a civics course “because the class should be about more than one car made by Honda”. Enough said.

    If you need a good laugh (actually far too serious to laugh at) put a little black mustache under AOC's nose and play her comments in a beer hall in Germany around 1930 and you can see where she is going with this.

    It's high time for "journalists" to be licensed just like doctors, lawyers, plumbers, electricians, hairdressers, engineers, architects, realtors, etc. I have a degree in journalism and experience working in that field. I detest the mainstream media and what it has become -- little more than an unreliable National Enquirer sort of rag -- and that includes the Washington Post and NY Times. Look up the educational background of those calling themselves "journalists" and find that their education does not include J-101 where you learn about the morals, ethics, and responsibilities of a true journalist. Honest journalists are supposed to be presenting the news based on facts and truth, not on anonymous sources, gossip, opinion, and absolute lies. Objectivity is the goal of a real journalist but today the news is often based on made-up "facts", hearsay and someone's own opinion and that means their own personal bias which has nothing to do with real reporting. We have a bunch of people passed off as "journalists" who may have degrees in English Lit, law, sports management, psychology, social work etc.etc.etc. Just because you worked at a radio station playing records and announcing the weather, does not mean you are qualified to be called a journalist. Journalism is a discipline with a strict code of ethics sort of like a doctor's "first do no harm". Journalism deals with offering the public the facts and the truth so that people can come to their own conclusions about what's going on. Today any semblance of common sense has been overrun by the left who blather continually about America needing to be changed. Well, yes changes for the better are always welcome, but the changes they want are destructive, dividing, and just plain dangerous. People like Jennifer Rubin (WaPo), Rachel Maddow (CNN), and AOC, and her bimbo battalion all suffer from extreme ignorance about humanity and have narcissistic tendencies causing them to think they are smart and that anything they say is important -- i.e. legends in their own minds. They suffer from the Junior High Mean Girl Syndrome which just means that their maturity stopped at about the 8th grade. Good grief. Like my mom told me "If you're as smart at 30 as you think you are at 15 you'll be brilliant!!" They're stuck at 15! We're dealing with blank stupidity, people who have no self-awareness, and frankly don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. I grew up in Oklahoma and now live in Texas. I can tell you that the reason people want to come to Texas is the same as the reason people around the world wanted to come to America. My biggest fear is that those from blue states who move here will be bringing their "bad politics" with them. I can honestly see why the idea of secession has been talked about here. There's lots of blame to go around including some of the Rinos in D.C. who talk big and do nothing. (We're taking names). But the left has let the inmates run their "asylum" and it looks like we may never recover from their control. My family here in "flyover country" is typical of Trump voters and voted for him because we like his policies. Our family has many college degrees including a doctorate and several masters. All hard-working successful people, several entrepreneurs, well-traveled here and in other countries, supporters of the arts (our world class museums, symphony, ballet, and Broadway roadshows). One of the most important things we all have is a wicked sense of humor. We have noticed that one thing the left lacks is the ability to laugh at anything these days, especially themselves. They would be surprised to know we don't wear overalls, drink beer out of a brown paper bag, or have a gun rack in our pickups and the kids we raised are not "wusses"!!! They gave up "Play Dough and coloring books a long time ago. We all love family, friends, and FOOTBALL!!!

    By the way -- I appreciate your newsletter because so much of what we read or hear these days is so negative. Your positive outlook and helpful Bible verse at the end is appreciated and I have forwarded the site on to others. Thanks for listening.

    Blessings to you and your staff -- Stay safe, Carol Tilley

    Communist playbook right down to the last letter.'
    Another subject of the guards in DC. Since I doubt that very many people planned to attend on Wed. anyway, having 25000 guards in attendance gives him a crowd. With all the attention and guards occupied in one place, heaven forbid what might happen elsewhere. An empty victory for the puppet President and scarry for the damage to our liberties. God be with us all.

    Under the Nazi it was called the "Ministry of Propaganda" given all the big tech censorship, big company saying they wont contribute to Republicans that opposite the elections certification and calls for employment blacklists by the left we are headed to a Socialist's Fascist State that's thanks to the democrats. What is incredible is the lack of resistance by the Republicans, GOP national party and Conservatives. We knew they lacked spine and that's why we liked Trump. However, the biggest blame goes to the low information voters who keep putting these morons in public office. Seriously, considering going independent and like the dust fall where it may.

    Dear Mr. Huckabee,
    What do we do about such nonsense that I fear (yes, fear) is going to come our way for the next 4 to who knows how many years since no one was willing to investigate the Vote Fraud allegations and Affidavits? With the Democrats in charge of counting the votes, it could be a very long time.
    But back to AOC. I thought about accepting as many friends as I could on Facebook and posting articles like yours to at least try to get information out. We have 2 Democrat Senators for Michigan. I write to them about my concerns and I get useless form letters about things they are working on "for the people" but that have nothing to do with what I wrote to them.

    What suggestions do you have for the working Joes who are just trying to do their jobs, pay the bills and provide for a decent life where we can go to church and express our beliefs without being shot down by the Liberal/Democrat led mobs? What can we do so that our voices can be heard and responded to when they talk about defunding police departments or ordering us to sign-up for some crappy government run Healthcare that we don't want?
    Sorry to unload so much on you. We pray for strength and patience but it feels like where we are entering a period where God is going to have a learn a lesson ... the hard way.

    God Bless and thank you for your newsletter. It's funny. Fox doesn't understand what to do about their drop in ratings. We stopped listening to most Fox shows because we couldn't stand to hear how President Trump could not do anything to get the election investigated and then to deliver the moronic things that Biden and his crew are planning to attempt as if even the stupidest thing was a given.
    Best Regards,
    Rocky Harding

    AOC, as every even halfway intelligent person knows, is stupid. I wish the voters in her congressional district would wake up!
    However, Governor, I have heard that one if the demonstrators at the Capitol, Qanon, I believe, was pictured with Madam Speaker's male offspring. Has that been checked?

    I do not recall reading how AOC rose to where she is now. In addition how the media fawns over her. That alone should make one not trust any of the present systems. Our best hope is that the Left begins to feed upon itself and weaken.
