Reading Time: 4 minutesThe Ministry of Truth was born in plain sight. It started with a simple announcement—the Chairman’s administration would handpick which media outlets could participate in the presidential press pool. They called it “restoring power to the American people,” but in reality, it was a purge. Critics were silenced, dissenting voices erased. What remained was a hollowed-out press corps, filled with loyalists repeating scripted lines. The illusion of journalism persisted, but the truth had been excised.

Reading Time: 8 minutesCora’s thumb hovered over the screen as the strange, grainy animation played out before her. A faceless figure in black and white tilted its head, its voice a distorted whisper. “Are you awake?” The words sent a chill down her spine.

The American Dream

Leave a Comment / Creative / AJB / February 20, 2025 / America’s dark past, American history lies, Dystopian fiction, dystopian reality, elite control, extraction economy, founding fathers corruption, hidden history, manufactured consent, power and control, systemic exploitation

Reading Time: 4 minutesThe truth was never hidden, just ignored. America was never a land of equal opportunity, never a fair fight. It was built on extraction, on stolen land, on exploited labor. The so-called Founding Fathers were not visionaries—they were profiteers, carving up a continent for themselves and their heirs, writing laws that would ensure power never left their bloodlines. The dream they sold was a lie, but an easy one, easier than the hard truth that the system was never meant to work for the people.
