Orwellian Words - World War III

Haim Harari is the Chair of Davidson Institute of Science Education and Past President, Weizmann Institute of Science. In 2004, he delivered a speech to the International Advisory Board of a large multi-national corporation. It is entitled "Undeclared WWIII".
There is a new game in town: The actual murderer is called "the military wing", the one who pays him, equips him and sends him is now called "the political wing" and the head of the operation is called the "spiritual leader". There are numerous other examples of such Orwellian nomenclature, used every day not only by terror chiefs but also by Western media. These words are much more dangerous than many people realize. They provide an emotional infrastructure for atrocities. It was Joseph Goebbels who said that if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. He is now being outperformed by his successors.
Remember that the next time you hear the Western Media describe someone as a Muslim "Spiritual Leader".
