Thought control
From the Disinfopedia:

Thought control can be described in the context of "black and white". This is called a "demand for purity." It divides the "world of experience into two (formatory)": pure versus impure, absolutely good versus absolutely evil, us versus them, and so forth. "Everything contributing to the state of 'impurity/evil/them' must be searched out and eliminated." This also "creates environment of guilt and shame."<1> (http://www.swans.com/library/art7/jeb105.html)<2> (http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/1236/brainwash1.html)

Thought control can be accomplished by "providing people with a vocabulary, a loaded language that constricts rather than broadens understanding." This can be seen in the examples listed below which have been repeated constantly by President George W. Bush and members of the Bush administration since the events of September 11, 2001.
