Excellent observations. Not sure if it's a coincidence or a purposeful act that the corporate gatekeepers in American media are following the propaganda playbook of Big Brother in Orwell's 1984, almost verbatim. This phenomenon became noticeable, and more frequent, in 2016 once it was obvious that a large portion of the American population wanted Donald Trump as their next President.
Example one is the offering of contradictory information from day to day. They copied this from the daily rants of 1984's Ministry of Truth, such that on Monday "we're at war with Eurasia, we've always been at war with Eurasia" and on Tuesday "we're at war with Eastasia, we've always been at war with Eastasia."
The same Democrats/Liberals who told us that George Bush was evil for starting a war with Iraq and criticized Defense /Intelligence Community for using a variety of techniques to deter America's enemies now can't get enough of military intervention and want a war with Russia. The same people who were opposed to America's aggressive stand against the Soviet Union during the Cold War can't wait to impose a no fly zone against Russia. This type of gaslighting is meant to make you doubt your own recollection of facts to the point that you believe anything that Big Brother avers as truth.
Example two is the juxtaposition of contradictory concepts to confuse definitions and to make individuals doubt everything they knew to be true about the world in which they live. In 1984 it was illustrated as such:
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
In the post Trump world, the media declared that Donald Trump, whose daughter/son in law and grandkids are Jewish, and who supported Israel in every turn, was in fact a Nazi. Other pundits declare that Ben Shapiro, who publicly wears a Yamaka on his head, is also a fascist and a Nazi.
The Democratic Party declares itself in opposition to segregation, yet they took the term "colored people" (used by the segregationists in the South to create separate bathrooms and water fountains) turned it inside out, and now declare all non-Europeans as "people of color."
The media always declares its support for science "follow the science" yet they tell us that standardized tests, mathematics, and all the post-Enlightenment empirical sciences are "racist" because they were formalized by European men.
Suffice it to say that we've entered a world that is truly worthy of a dystopian novel. The only difference is that physical force has not yet been used to buttress the propaganda. That too may be on the horizon if we are not vigilant.
I’m curious what happens when it all breaks down, which it will…. There’s too many lies out there right now. You’ve got the mRNA shot and the possible long term effects, the stolen election that Biden and the MSM just can’t quite put away, Nazis and biolabs in Ukraine and a guy like Putin who is smart enough to bring out real evidence of that situation to the world, perhaps why they’re sanctioning and banning Russian media in the West beyond anything reasonable…. On top of that we will eventually have widespread inflation and serious food shortages because fertilizer costs too much and conventional agriculture is incredibly damaging to the Earth. Most people have no clue just how bad it honestly is, look at Portugal…. Say a real pandemic comes along, with an airborne virus that really kills people, perhaps from some sort of interaction with the GMO mosquitos that are being released. And then there’s psychopathy, an incurable mental “disease” that lots of the elite sure seem like they have that is little researched or talked about. And there’s perhaps even “worse” things than that such as UFOs/aliens that aren’t seriously studied and tend to get relegated into the world of “conspiracy”. So humanity is in quite a pickle! Lots of soul growth happens from adversity though, so we will see how the future unfolds.
In our ever more crazy world, as the T-shirt says, "Normal isn't coming back; Jesus is." Obviously this is discussed in greater depth in the Bible (and we need not fear if we are truly following Jesus) but that is it in a nutshell. (By the way, the 21 short chapters of the book of John in the Bible are good for revealing who Jesus is).

Yes to everything you say here. 🙏🏻👏
