Rectification of "truerness"

Time has come not to ask for truth any longer. People have to accept that we are far beyond 1984. Therefore people have to accept that "recification of history", Orwell described as a form of political horror, meanwhile has become rectification of the presence. There is always something truer than true. So we should get used to talk about political "truerness" and incorporate the word into our dictionaries of "Newspeak Today". "Truerness" is what media do present, if they say what is political true - or at least correct. "Political truerness" means: feed the public with information that is truer than the truth. What Alvin A. Snyder - who was TV-director of the U.S. Information Agency during the Reagan-Shultz-era - tells about political information in 1983, makes evident that everybody can trust in political truerness. That time, now and in future. Snyder says that the video about "Flight 007" was a falsification. That might be true. It might be also true that this video saved lives because the russians, who brought down the Corean plane, could be "intimidated", as an official of the State Departmend stated. But truer is that politics cannot tell the truth because they have to act truer. Truth is deceit. Therefore "truth" is a word that should be eliminated: There is no political deceit any longer. Today every politician is aware of his political truerness. Everything else is crimethink and doubleplusungood. And therefore we demand to destroy all pictures that show a socalled "Snyder" that probably never existed. Truer is: He simply is an invention of the enimies of political truerness.
