Greenberg: Democrats’s Orwellian Commands Amid LA Riots
The effect is a dangerous erosion of trust and public safety, as citizens are misled about the true threat

Is it a surprise that the so-called Mainstream Media publishes articles and frames narratives that solely pander to their audience, to the point of obvious fabrication? Incidents over these past few weeks serve as evidence; side by side comparisons of how the violent riots in Los Angeles over ICE raids serve as a stark reminder that ratings and viewership matters.
Barely 10 days ago, you read about the major gaffe by New Jersey Senator Cory Booker who raised his arm Nazi Salute style and then, mainstream media all but buried that story. Allegiance to the Democrat Party trumps viral, documented video evidence seen by tens and hundreds of millions. And now, as California Governor Gavin Newsom is fighting to control the narrative over Los Angeles’ response to federal illegal immigration crackdowns, we again see a psyops-style counter attack. Newsom-as-presidential-
I have friends and neighbors who refuse to watch Fox News. And that’s okay, as we are free to choose our sources for news. But Fox News broadcasts live from the ongoing scenes of the Los Angeles riots. CNN and others MSM rely on cherry picked images – and blame Trump with every breath.
Rep. Maxine Waters, a vocal critic of Trump, epitomized this denial during a June 10, 2025, House Democrat press conference, declaring, “There was no violence. I was on the street, I know.” Her claim is blatantly contradicted by reality: Los Angeles Police reported 338–370 arrests for crimes including vandalism, looting, and attempted murder with Molotov cocktails. The Department of Homeland Security documented over 1,000 rioters attacking a federal building, while few news outlets apart from Fox News broadcast images and live video of burning vehicles and shattered storefronts across downtown Los Angeles, Paramount, and Compton.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass followed suit, claiming “no violence or vandalism” occurred, a statement that crumbles under scrutiny. Yet Bass herself imposed a citywide curfew on June 10, 2025, to address widespread looting and vandalism, contradicting her own rhetoric.
Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton furthered this narrative, with Harris calling the riots “overwhelmingly peaceful” and Clinton labeling them “peaceful demonstrations”. These characterizations dismiss documented attacks, such as Molotov cocktails hurled at police and the destruction of self-driving cars, to portray rioters as righteous resisters. Their words align with a progressive agenda that excuses lawlessness under the guise of social justice, asking the public to ignore the violence captured on news channels and social media feed. An ABC affiliate described rioters as “a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn.”
From our perspective, these denials could be interpreted as a deliberate attempt to mislead the public, potentially to protect sanctuary city policies, deflect blame from local and state governance, and oppose President Trump’s immigration enforcement. The consistent use of the “peaceful” narrative by multiple high-profile figures suggests a shared strategy, a psyop to justify federal intervention or suppress dissent.
These are not mere missteps but calculated lies to rewrite reality. In George Orwell’s famous novel, 1984, “The Party’s“ chilling command to “reject the evidence of your eyes and ears” encapsulates its totalitarian grip on truth, forcing citizens to abandon reality for the Party’s narrative (Orwell, Part 1, Chapter 7). This manipulation, where individuals must deny their own senses to uphold a fabricated reality, finds a disturbing echo in the June 2025 Los Angeles riots, mischaracterized by politicians and their aligned media as peaceful protests. The effect is a dangerous erosion of trust and public safety, as citizens are misled about the true threat. This is no accident.
The Orwellian parallel is stark: these officials demand that Americans reject the evidence of their senses. Orwell’s 1984 portrays a regime that uses doublethink and propaganda to erase objective truth, compelling citizens to accept lies—like 2 + 2 = 5—over their own perceptions. The Party’s goal is absolute power, achieved by controlling reality itself.
In a similar fashion, today’s Democratic Party has espoused Orwellian denial and marginalization under the previous Biden administration of the invasion of literally millions of migrants across our nation’s border, bringing fentanyl and dangerous criminals.
It’s turned into a huge Psyop (psychological warfare involving the planned use of propaganda and other psychological operations to influence the opinions, emotions, attitudes, and behavior of opposition groups), and Orwellian messaging – which thankfully we clearly reject.
Not only is what the criminal Democrat thug mafia doing a huge Psyop, it’s also a dangerous color revolution leading to a coup and regime change? Former top Democrat strategist Dr. Naomi Wolf warns that we are seeing the beginning of a Bolshevik-style revolution in America with the LA riots that will lead to a financial collapse, mass casualty events, and terror attacks.
