10. That's what I thought when I saw this yesterday

Institute of Peace = Ministry of Peace?

Do we get a "Ministry of Plenty" next since we already have a "Ministry of Truth"?

Saw it in an article re the same on another thread, and Chimp says so in his speech, too. Creepy, no?

13. I will bet it will fund "foundation for defending democracies"

http://www.defenddemocracy.org/

FDD uniquely combines policy research, democracy training, strategic communications, and investigative journalism. We focus our efforts where opinions are formed and, ultimately, where the war of ideas will be won or lost: in the media, on college campuses, and in the policy community, at home and abroad.
