Warons
Up to now, all Deepstate Wars On X followed a predictable Parkinsonian pattern.
1920 War On Alcohol: Outlaw drinking, make more drinkers so the Treasury agents can expand their budget.
1965 War On Poverty: "Alleviate" poverty, make more poverty so gov't welfare agencies can grow.
1980 War On Drugs: Outlaw drugs, make more drug addicts so DEA can expand its budget.
2001 War On Terror: Outlaw terrorism, create more terrorists so DHS, FBI, TSA, DOD can expand their budgets.
Now we have a new waron, officially declared by Obama today, but the pattern isn't fully formed yet.
2016 War On Truth: Outlaw truth, create more truth-tellers so ... ???
At this early date it's not clear which agency is meant to benefit. Quangos like Google and Apple and Facebook will certainly win more gov't contracts to exterminate truth. But they aren't exactly agencies. Will we see a new officially defined Minitrue?
