Lip service or insincere, hypocritical, and empty pronouncements especially from government officials.
This originated from the Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s presidential campaign where he promised to help and protect Filipino fisherfolks to freely and safely fish on the West Philippine Sea without the intimidation of the Chinese Coastguard illegally occupying the area. He said if needed, he’ll bring the Navy with him and ride a JET SKI to erect a flag to a Chinese airport built on an artificial island on the West Philippines Sea.
Duterte has since made no action on the matter despite the international arbitral tribunal ruling in favor of the Philippines. Since his election, Duterte approved numbers of government projects and policies in favor of Chinese government and businessmen.
Duterte’s recent statement saying he considered to resign is just another Jet ski statement. He said that thousand times without really doing it.
An example of ridiculous Corporate-Speak. It is a positioning statement used by whoever is in charge to guide the participants of a project towards the desired aim or business goal.
It is a classic example of using three words when one will suffice !
"What's our steering wheel statement for this project/mission/job <delete as appropriate>?"
A statement that is allegedly so self-evidently true that it cannot be argued against, thus extinguishing any debate on the subject under discussion. It is often employed by those that don't understand the issues and don't wish to reveal that ignorance.
"I don't like all this new building in rural areas." "Well, you can't stop progress!" "That's a typical fire blanket statement, just what do you mean by progress?"
"I am against making ID Cards compulsory" "I don't see the problem, if you've nothing to hide, whats the harm?" "Stop using a fire blanket statement, its not about hiding anything, just personal privacy!"

... is the credo of the republican party! The GOP intentionally tells blatant lies and, when caught, responds with their national credo. "This remark was not intended to be a factual statement"
GOP: The world is made up of 98% dead babies!
Person With Brains: That is just not even close to being true!
GOP: Well... That remark was not intended to be a factual statement.
PWB: Then why did you say it?
GOP: We never expected to get caught!
PWB: Then it is a blatant lie!
GOP: Sure, if you look at it that way. We conservatives don't see things that way.
PWB: Um... Yeah... a lie!

A clause which, when placed at the end of a sentence or simply used as an excuse after the fact, will allow you to say anything you want.
It was first made popular by politician Jon Kyl when making a bogus statement about Planned Parenthood, and then taken to even greater heights on The Colbert Report. This is a prime example of colberrorism.
Jon Kyl is the only person who can sneeze with his penis. He calls it a sneenis. That was not intended to be a factual statement.

One can not simply drift into Mordor.
To say that "One can not simply drift into Mordor" is the truest statement ever.
