If writing fiction were a permissible activity, this blog would be purely fictional. But because the Public Communications Bureau has so wisely ruled that the writing of fiction is not permitted without a license, we must stick to the facts. More exactly, the writing of unlicensed fiction is subject to essentially the same penalties as unapproved writings of any kind: the destruction and purging of all disapproved content, and for the incorrigible sowers of dissent, fines, ejection from access to network services, confiscation of homes and other assets, compulsory re-education; perhaps a late night, no-knock visit by well-armed gang of costumed men accompanied by a considerable risk of a hail of bullets or death by Taser, a tortuous interrogation ending in a tragic death, or some other unnatural fate. This being what it is, the Board always navigates that undiscernable line between fact masquerading as fiction, and fiction masquerading as fact. Read at your own risk, and let not your mind be darkened.
Fact: Prior to the Great Emancipation, the minds of hapless people were darkened by socially harmful ideas cleverly inserted in fictional tales distributed for diversion and entertainment.
Fact: The Great Emancipation liberated the hapless people from purposeless fiction that lacked any socially acceptable purpose approved by the Public Communications Bureau.
Fact: The truth remains true, whether or not knowledge of it is extinguished by lies.
Fact: What remains true is capable of discovery.
Fact: Today's announcement is made for a socially beneficial purpose, and is based entirely on facts.
