Plastic words and phrases are language which is used so commonly but loosely as to lose its meaning. It is used for stagecraft performance rather than to convey clear meaning. With minimal substantive meaning and clear definition, they are useful as tools of Orwellian misdirection. They are widely used as tools of propaganda and are particularly insidious when passed into law. In 1979, the Jerusalem Conference on International Terrorism (JCIT) marked the beginning of development of the “terrorism” meme. With 700 mucky mucks attending, including top level deep state operatives, this appears to have been a seminal event in the global coordination of false flag “terrorism.” It was followed up 5 years later by the Washington Conference on International Terrorism which helped establish “terrorism” as a new focus of Israeli, U.S., and European foreign policy. The timing of the “war on terror” – just as the cold war was winding down would suggest the involvement of the permanent war machine. All readers are encouraged to be cautious of narratives that feature “terrorism,” which is in itself a suspect term. After 2001, language was developed to include “extremism” (both violent and non-violent). The concept of “radicalization” has been developed to facilitate internet censorship. The German linguist Uwe Pörksen in his 1988 Plastikwörter: Die Sprache einer internationalen Diktatur (literal translation into English: Plastic words: The language of an international dictatorship) describes the emergence and steady expansion during the latter half of the 20th century of selected words that are incredibly malleable yet empty when it comes to their actual meaning. Plastic words have surreptitiously seeped into our everyday language and dictate how we think. Sometimes specific phrases are launched by a particular event. Most seem contrived and programmed. One plastic word, democracy is a form of government involving events called “elections”, which claim to reflect the will of the citizens but are votes to choose the least worst between dark triads. In almost all western countries this plastic term is in reality a kakistocracy or plutocracy.
