Memory hole, comes from none other than George Orwell’s 1948 dystopian novel , Nineteen Eighty-Four . In the book, the memory hole is a small chute leading to a large incinerator used for censorship of any information deemed threatening to the ruling government of Big Brother.
It’s basically any mechanism for the deliberate altering of embarrassing or inconvenient photographs, transcripts, archives or other records to create the impression that something never happened. Sounding familiar?
Google may have reinstated search results for the failed Trump assassination. However , this was, after news reports led to a Google backlash for trying to place it down the memory hole.
I took this screen shot from Monday, July 29. My search term, “Trump assassination attempt July 13” shows lots of web entries.
Over the weekend, however, it was a different story. Google’s Autocomplete failed to provide search suggestions even when inputting “Trump assassination attempt” . Don Jr called Google out for “intentional election interference”, after posting a screenshot from X showing an Autocomplete search result .
After entering the term, “assassination attempt on…” , you would think Trump’s miraculous brush with death would top the list of search suggestions. Google’s going to have a hard time convincing the Trump supporters this wasn’t blatantly intentional.
The same goes for Facebook. After censoring the iconic photo of Trump, with his fist in the air, under an American Flag. Facebook says it wrongly labeled the photo as altered.
Meta Spokesperson Dani Lever said on an X post, “This was an error. This fact check was initially applied to a doctored photo showing the secret service agents smiling, and in some cases our systems incorrectly applied that fact check to the real photo. This has been fixed and we apologize for the mistake.”
Funny how such mistakes affect seem only those on the right side of the political spectrum? Always remember, the left needs to diminish, limit, and undermine the Trump assassination attempt to place it down the memory hole in people’s minds asap.
Also memory holed? The official video of the Paris Olympics 2024 opening ceremonies , ironically , by the Olympic You Tube channel.
Worldwide outrage continues, after Olympic organizers’ attempts to illustrate inclusivity via blasphemous interpretation of Leonardo Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” by drag queens.
Again, this involves the full opening ceremony. Clips from the opening ceremonies are still on YouTube but these are mostly presented with commentary or as part of news reports.
A final example of memory holing? The effort to convince Americans Kamala Harris was never the Border Czar for the Biden Administration.
Problem is , she clearly was. Watch this brilliant compilation by the Media Research Center Harris’ position before and after Biden dropped out.
You wouldn’t be wrong by also calling this memory hole effort of Harris, gaslighting. Weaponized by left, gaslighting is a form of mental manipulation designed to have you questioning your own sanity . These two sinister tactics go hand in hand.
Keep this concept of memory hole and gaslighting in mind as you are inundated with biased news reports and commentary heading into the Presidential Election in November.
