The Ministry Of Truth..
In George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, the Ministry of Truth is Oceania's propaganda ministry. It is responsible for any necessary falsification of historical events. The word truth in the title Ministry of Truth should warn, by definition, that the "minister" will self-serve its own "truth"; the title implies the willful fooling of posterity using "historical" archives to show "in fact" what "really" happened. As well as administering truth, the administration deploys a new tongue-in-cheek language amongst administrators called Newspeak, in which, for example, truth is understood to mean statements like 2 + 2 = 5 when the situation warrants.
It is one of the four ministries that govern Oceania. However, as with the other Ministries in the novel, the Ministry of Truth is a misnomer and in reality serves the opposite of its purported namesake.
In Newspeak, the ministry is known as Minitrue.

New Design for latest print of Orwell's 1984
[Designer David] Pearson says that the design went through numerous iterations "to establish just the right amount of print obliteration. Eventually we settled on printing and debossing, as per the Great Ideas series [Why I Write shown, above], with the difference being that the title and author name were then blocked out using matt black foil. This had the effect of partially flattening the debossed letters, leaving just enough of a dent for the title to be determined – though I can't vouch for it's success on Amazon."
The Ministry of Truth Calls Obama Administration policy, "Orwellian"
Oh the Irony. The unmitigated purveyors of ForwardThought, the Administrations own Ministry of Truth, the official propaganda arm of the Obama Administration, MSNBC with their own pied piper, Rachel Maddow, calls the American secrecy on Drone Strikes "One of the More Orwellian things about being an American Citizen in the twenty first century", this is doublespeak for a "news" outlook unwilling to truly criticize the Obama Administration.
When you consider the withering criticism from the MSNBC Ministry of "Truth" about the Bush Administrations not allowing habeas corpus rights to non-citizen illegal combatants compared to the soft handed, carefully worded mild disagreement with the Judge, Jury and Executioner reality of Drone Warfare carried out by Obama personally selected targets; the hypocrisy is staggering.

The Ministry Of Truth
Given that MSNBC Anchors get called personally into the Whitehouse chambers and apparently coordinate message with Obama, MSNBC becomes an arm of the administration, or as in George Orwell's 1984, the official propaganda arm of the Regime, THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH.
The elements I use are the Big Brother eye in the Obama logo, the AMSOC slogan derived from the Orwellian INGSOC for English Socialism, the communist "Forward" slogan used by both the Obama Regime and MSNBC, and the Orwellian slogans, "Ignorance is Strength", "Freedom is Slavery" , "War is Peace" representing the DoubleThink concept of Orwell's 1984.
I also introduce formally the "ForwardThought" term into the newspeak dictionary for Tyrannical Governments.

AMSOC - FORWARD TOWARDS AMERICAN SOCIALISM
FORWARD COMRADES!
So this is a play on INGSOC from George Orwell's 1984 - A Novel about leftist government Tyranny. INGSOC was the acronym for English Socialism, so I created AMSOC - American Socialism. The Obama logo has the Big Brother eye in it, I probably need to decrease the transparency on it so that it pops more. I used the Communist phrase of "Forward" just as the Obama administration does as does the Ministry of Truth: MSNBC. It is still a work in progress.
