"Control of Film, Radio, Theater, and the Press"

If it was created in 2022, this ministry would have also wanted to control social media. Ministry of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment | Holocaust Encyclopedia

That was the Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda (RMVP), under Joseph Goebbels, of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. It was established in 1933.

Goebbels soon envisioned an empire that would control schools, universities, film, radio, and propaganda. “The national education of the German people,” he wrote, “will be placed in my hands.”

Sounds oddly familiar somehow. A government bent on controlling all information that the population is allowed to have. What they are allowed to say. What they are allowed to think.

How can an American Administration be creating a Ministry for Information? Or Disinformation, or the Ministry of Truth or whatever they are calling it.

Here's the article that got me thinking about history and censorship and government control of information. YouTube U-Turn: Censors Strike Again for No Good Reason, Just as Inexplicably Reverse Course.

Now YouTube isn't the government, of course, but with Elon Musk and Twitter, the Left sees their monopolistic control of social media slipping away. So they are going to implement the time-tested method, namely Government jackboots.

YouTube’s censors have struck again, removing a podcast discussing election integrity that it claims violates its “misinformation policy.”

The podcast, hosted by Jacob Kersey, was an interview of me at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, in February 2021 and had been on YouTube for more than a year before it was suddenly taken down.

YouTube never responded to Kersey’s appeal of the ban, but a day after Douglas Blair wrote about the censorship in The Daily Signal, the video suddenly reappeared on the website. Kersey says he received no explanation from YouTube for its actions.

The censors never have to explain themselves. They just say, "This you can know," and "This you may not know."

You should read the rest.
