Mirror universe
In the late '40s and early '50s, as it became obvious that Stalin was working hard to sabotage our government and culture, Congressional committees made a big point of requiring loyalty oaths of just about everybody, and making lists of suspected Commies. The oaths were rather silly, because a devoted Communist has no compunctions about lying or swearing false oaths to help defeat the West ... but the blacklists were important and useful. Jack Kennedy and Dick Nixon were major players in this oath-forcing and blacklisting; Reagan, as head of the Screen Actors Guild, applied the same principles in Hollywood.

Later, Communists found a way to permanently sabotage the blacklisting process, when the superlatively vicious and brutal little Satan-snake* named Roy Cohn manipulated Joe McCarthy into reckless overuse of blacklisting.

Since that time, our Communist masters have used the name of McCarthy to stifle any tiny half-baked attempt to dislodge their brutal rule.

Oddly enough, they haven't simply reversed the process until very recently.

Look at the comments made by Soviet Agent T. Kennedy and Soviet Agent A. Specter on the confirmation of this rather drab and non-ideological Mukasey fellow.

Think about it. These Soviet Agents are voting against Mukasey because he will not promise strongly enough to avoid using "torture", whatever the hell that actually means.

In other words, Mukasey will not REFUSE TO DEFEND THE UNITED STATES.

He will not SWEAR A DISLOYALTY OATH.

Enemy Agents Specter and Kennedy will only approve nominees who PROMISE TO COMMIT TREASON.

The reversal is now complete.

And how about the blacklisting? Have we reversed it yet? Yes, especially in Hollywood, and the new form happens to involve the same color. Let's call it niggerlisting.

This new and inverted list is not as objective or meaningful as the 1950 version. The Reagan version of blacklisting was strictly based on actual Party activity, or associating in a conspiratorial way with active Communists. It didn't matter if you were light or dark, male or female; if you worked for the Soviets, your career was suspended. Hollywood hated it, and gained its revenge after the sabotage of McCarthy, but loss of career was actually a mild punishment for disloyalty that often deserved prison.

The new niggerlist is much less objective and much more disproportionate to the offense. In fact, it's an enforced aristocratic speech code, depending on your skin color and your Authenticity. If you are black and Authentic (which means either an actual violent gangster or a strong supporter of gangs) you are free to say nigger, ho, bitch, nappy and dozens of other Holy Words. In fact, if you are dark and Authentic, your use of these Sacrosanct Words will be Celebrated as Transgressive Diversity.

But if you lack sufficient melanin, or even if you have dark skin but dislike gangsters, you will be totally niggerlisted for using any of the Sacred Words even once. Privacy is no defense: wiretapping to detect Desecration of the Words is perfectly fine, as yesterday's niggerlisting of the Bounty Hunter demonstrated.

At this time the punishment associated with the niggerlist is not permanent; if you apologize on your knees several billion times and show your support of gangsters in a concrete way, you may be allowed to resume your career after a year or two in Purgatory. I assume the process will become more solid and permanent as it continues.

* Profound apologies to Satan for mentioning him in the same sentence as Roy Cohn. I couldn't think of a different comparison that would be understandable.
