About the Site

Maurice L. Naylon IV (“Chipp”) wrote The New Ministry of Truth over the course of four years.  Following a deployment to Afghanistan that left him with significant amounts of anger and frustration, he used writing as a form of catharsis, pouring his emotions into this work.  This experience - the therapeutic effects of writing - drove him to launch this website as a platform for veterans to share their stories and have their voices heard.
