Regime-speak
List from The Woodpile Report
You're about to be lied to when they say-
a hand up...Only works
if the recipients are reaching up with their own hands open. But have
you ever noticed how those people seldom seem to need "a hand up". When
was the last time you saw an appeal for Vietnamese Boat People?
a new study shows...Anything I want it to show. Remember the bubbling cauldron of beef stew? Any student capable of enrolling in a grad school is smart enough to "properly" vet the data so the "correct" conclusion will be supported.
a poll by the highly respected...Same notes as above. Except I can skew the results even more based on how I pose the question.
a positive step...This is a cliche that attorneys, committee men and "advocates" trot out when attempting to put the best face on a cluster festival.
are speaking out...Usually enunciated by professional (paid) hucksters. Of course they are speaking out. "Speaking out" is the only thing they know how to do and they are being paid for it. God help you if you ever expect them to do anything useful like fix your plumbing.
arguably...Law School teaches that any point can be argued. "Hitler was a good man because he unswervingly followed his conscience.", "Beer makes you smarter by killing off the weak brain cells.", "An organization staffed with bureaucrats 600 miles a way can run your life better than you can."
at-risk communities...A rare, fine turn of phrase; three lies for the price of one. Mitigation of risk (uncertainty) stands on three legs. The stoutest leg is personal responsibility; I am always at risk of running out of gas but I mitigate that risk by filling my gas tank as soon as I notice it is more than half empty. That is a direct contradiction of the premise buried in the phrase...that risk mitigation is somehow a responsibility of the 'community'.

The second leg is association with like-minded people.
The third leg is the prudent avoidance of high risk places/actions/people; Matt 4:7
arsenal...It is
disingenuous to carp about "at risk communities" and then vilify steps
taken by members in or near those communities to empower themselves, to
make themselves not-at-risk. It strongly suggests that the liars
require a class of people who willingly prostrate themselves into a
state of permanent victimhood in order to support the liars'
"narrative".
best practices...vary by
circumstances. Best practices when hypothermic are different than best
practices for heat exhaustion. Too often, the decisionmaker mentally
edits the circumstances and, surprise, "best practices" are what he was
planning to do all along.
broader implications...You, personally, are screwed. But take comfort that it was all in the name of the greater good. Or perhaps in the name of the good of the people the decisionmaker are indebted to.
climate change...Fleas arguing about the elephant they are riding on.
collectively...You will lose your rights as an individual. Code for 'communism'.
Commonsense solutions...The inescapable conclusion of a highly edited vignette. "9,900 Americans die in their bed every day. Clearly, beds are the greatest cause of mortality to Americans. The commonsense solution is to outlaw beds and to criminalize those who insist on owning one.
comprehensive reform...Bawahahaha. You will never be able to go back because we vaporize the means to do so.
cycle of poverty...and...cycle of violence...But never cycle of dependency. Wonder why?
demand action...Projection. Events don't 'demand action'. Actors demand action. Actors who attribute the demand to the event are weasels who refuse to be accountable.
disenfranchised...Retread of Marxism's "alienation".
disparate impact...and...disproportionately...But never a whisper of disproportionate sacrifice or disproportionate self-denial.
diverse backgrounds...But they all passed the same litmus test.
divisive...One of the oldest tricks of running an empire is to bring the tensions across existing fault lines into an exquisite balance. Then, vast masses can be controlled with very gentle tickles. This ploy has at least two prices. One is that it stokes the animosities across the fault lines (Muslim/Hindu/Sikh). The other is that other groups can preempt the control of the boulder with very little effort. Accusations of 'divisive' are disingenuous because it is a game the accuser is also playing.

economically disadvantaged...Egyptians
and Caucasian South Africans are from Africa but do not count as
"African-Americans" in the United States. "Economically Disadvantaged"
is an artificial construct that allows certain people to be
treated as an aggregate statistic when it is to there advantage (like
Affirmative Action) yet still allows them to demand that they be treated
as an individual when it is more advantageous.
embattled...General Custer was embattled. He was stupid. Embattled = Stupid
emerging consensus...Akin to "almost pregnant". Pregnancy and consensus are binary conditions. They either are or they are not. Note: "almost pregnant" is interpreted by some sub-populations as "targeted for rape." That might also apply to "emerging consensus".
empower...We are empowered by God and by the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. "Empowering" somebody implies that the grantor usurped the recipient's rights in the first place.
enhance...Soap commercial boiler plate.

enhance...Soap commercial boiler plate.
experts agree...Reference video shown above.
extremist...A principled person who does not believe in moral relativism and will not negotiate away that which cannot be negotiated. See Saints.
fair share...Roll back the video to were Henny Penny is asking, "And who will help me plant the wheat, i.e., do their fair share?"
fiscal stimulus...A tax on people who delay gratification. A tax on people who trust their government. A tax on people who pack their own parachute and take care of their own.
fully funded...Prove it.
give back..."Giving" is a verb that implies it is done of the "giver's" free will. Charity is "given". "give back" in regime speak implies coercion and the threat of force.
giving voice to...Paid shill.
greater diversity...And, pray tell, will the crew of Air Force One and the Secret Service escorts for the First Family also receive the benefits of "greater diversity"?
growing support for...Identical to "Emerging Consensus" Speech writers alternate the two so make the speaker sound more intelligent.
gun violence...Guns are inanimate objects. See notes on "commonsense solutions" in prior post.
hater...This card is usually pulled out when some astute observer in the audience calls attention to the magician's left hand. The illusion of magic demands an audience that wants to believe that physical laws are optional and that the critical field-of-play is where the magician is directing their attention. Magicians fear observant people and attempt to vilify them with words like "hater".
have issues...An admission of the obvious. An attempt to salvage credibility. "Yes, the Affordable Care Act has issues" (starting with its Orwellian name).
high capacity magazine...Coca Cola was originally sold in six ounce bottles. Today, a "medium" beverage at McDonalds is 21ounces. Words like "small", "medium", "large", "high", "low" are meaningless. Paraphrasing Mackey Sagebrush (and LEO in Idaho) at 24hourcampfire, "A standard capacity magazine means that the defensive shooter will be able to maintain un-interupted situational awareness for longer periods of time between reloads. The defender is more likely to see the event through to the end without having to pull attention away from his wife and kids and the strategic positions of the aggressors. A standard capacity magazine is bad for the bad guys and very, very good for everybody else."
history shows...History is the distillation of an abstraction of the documented memories of the victors. "history shows" anything you want it to show.

impacted by...Used by writers who are unsure; affected by or effected by?
impactful...An admission by the speaker that he suffers from a bowel condition. Run for cover. Explosion is imminent.
in denial...Opponents refuse to accept the speaker's faulty premise that they use to justify their over-reach. See "Commonsense Solutions".
inappropriate...A word used to by speakers the way a Catholic makes the Sign-of-the-Cross. The Catholic does it to ward off evil. The speaker uses this word when opponents want to discuss outcomes.
inclusive environment...Infested with professional victims.
insensitivity...Robust. Results focused.
investing in our future...Subsidy to pensions of unionized teachers
linked to...Not capable of surviving on its own merit.
making a difference...A faith based statement rarely supported by monitoring and data
marginalized...A quick reading of Darwin and Origin of Species is warranted by anybody who uses this word.
marriage equality...There are many forms of incorporation available to humans. Forcing non-hetero incorporation to be jammed into "marriage" amounts to vandalizing. Barbarians deface what they do not understand. As one wag pointed out, "Why limit marriage equality to Homo sapiens? Can I marry my dog to help with the vet bills?"
mean spirited...Indicates that the opponent has firm views regarding the sanctity of private property
most vulnerable...Yeah, and Dr Doolittle speaks for the animals. Virtually all of the "most vulnerable" have smart phones, internet access and accounts on social media. They also do not have their time sponged up by a job.
mounting opposition to...Means the speaker was lazy and did not do their job to start with. They tried to sneak bad laws and bad policy beneath the system of checks-and-balances.
multicultural...Same as "inclusive environment."
non-blaming...nonjudgemental...Pure ideological parties ("Idiots", for short) cannot survive in a system where outcomes are used to judge the value of policy. See "Metaphysics"
non-partisan, non-profit...And why, pray tell, is it necessary to fund these out of the public weal?
not value neutral...Well, duh! There are three reasons to enact taxes. One is to raise revenue. Two is to reassociate (reinternalize) externalized costs back to the originating transaction. Three is to modify behaviors (parking meters). Of course they are not value neutral.
nuance...A word used by a speaker when it appears that they are doing nothing or it looks like they have absolutely no clue about what they are doing.

off our streets...It used to be called, "Go to school or else be unemployed and never have a girl friend."
on some level...The old, "parallel universe" strategy
our nation's children...How come I cannot send a bill to the government when my kid breaks a window?
outreach...Shilling to disempower people and cultivate their victimhood. All for a bowl of pottage.
people of color (sometimes, colour)...oppressed minorities...poor and minorities...raising awareness...reaching out...See Outreach
poised to...Corruption of "supposed to", as in, "I am supposed to respect the Constitution" or "I am supposed to help widows and orphans."
positive outcome...Oh dear. I wish they actually managed by outcomes. So, how are those solar companies doing?
potentially...Potentially, we are all Mozart, Luther Burbank and Mother Teresa. In fact, we all fall woefully short.
progressive...Code for the inexorable collapse of Capitalism and the inevitable actualization of Marx's paradise. See North Korea.
public/private partnership...The Greeks have a myth to explain what happens when you accept a "gift" from the devil: Persephone's seeds.
redouble our efforts... reaffirm our commitment to...Zero times anything is.....Class, does anybody know the answer?
root cause...It is excruciatingly difficult to look at a dynamic system and identify the Start point. Most problem solvers suggest that one ask "Why?" at least five times before they entertain the illusion that they found a "root cause". There is much valuable to look for deer gates and to think in TRIZ format rather than the over-simplified, linear "5 Why"/Root Cause paradigm.

sends a message...An action that truly sends a message does not need liner notes telling the audience what the message is
shared values...Ironic words coming from the most divisive Regime in American History.
social justice...Short-hand for, "I consider my constituent's feelings of entitlement (stoked, incidentally, by my rhetoric) to be valid reasons to steal the private property you sacrificed to hang onto."
solidarity with...In case you were wondering, es, I am still bought and paid-for by the Labor movement
stakeholders...Potential litigants. If you were ever in a building built before 1965....you may be at risk....call 1-800-Call-Shyster
statistics show...Those words were never uttered by anybody who stayed awake in Statistics 101. Statistics can be interpreted but they never "show".
sustainable, sustainability...Sustainability has never been achieved by destroying the means of production. "Sustainability" is the banner used to justify the diversion of spoils to a key Regime power bloc.
the American People...I don't recall getting asked. What "American People" is he referring to?
the bigger issue is...A way to avoid embarrassing specifics.the larger question is...the more important question is...the reality is...See "the bigger issue is..."
the struggle for...See Social Justice.
too many...too often...touched by... These are distraction words. Witchdoctors peddling magical thinking and pick-pockets both require distraction. Interesting post HERE comparing fatalities due to fisticuffs and fatalities due to rifles. Should we start amputating hands? Of course not. The real challenge is to figure out what they are attempting to distract the public from.

underserved populations...Goods and services follow demand, and the ability to pay.
undocumented immigrant...Illegal immigrant. AKA, democratic voter.
vibrant community...Opposite of Detroit. Has not had its lifeblood drained from it by 50 years of socialistic leadership and entitlement oriented citizens.
voicing concern..."saying". Must be getting a commission based on the number of superfluous syllables.
war on ...Never heard out of the mouths of combat veterans.
working families...Given the regime's track record on defining "families" and "working" there is a high probability that their used of both words, back-to-back, means less than nothing.
