It was in the Ministry of Love.....where Winston Smith was being tortured....in the classic book....and many movies....of George Orwell's....1984. You can easily Google up a clip on the scene where O'Brien....extends fingers of his hand in front of Winston....and asks him how much is 2 + 2....upon which Winston correctly says...."four"....and is given an electrical shock. This continues until Winston finally says....what O'Brien wants him to say...."five"....so 2 + 2 = 5!
                  Some say that it was a Joseph Goebbels quote...."if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it....people will eventually come to believe it." Whoever said it first....it has in the past proved to be a true theorem. We've seen it a number of times in the past ten years....one example would be....'The Russia Hoax'....for the investigation was anything but a hoax....but most of those on the one side have come to believe that it was indeed a hoax.
                   We are seeing this method play out in Minnesota....where certain individuals will calmly speak to the camera and microphone....and state what videos prove to be incorrect! It has been a few weeks of this....since the first horrible incident....and it doesn't seem to be working that well....because the people....as Winston Smith did at first....know what they saw in the videos....and even Republicans are starting to challenge the narrative. We will just have to see how long this narrative will be continued....or if it will be decided to spin the situation in another way.
