First of all, sorry, there might be many threads like this one.

Just finished reading George Orwell: Animal Farm and 1984 and I got a strange felling, his books are coming to life.

Animal Farm describes any western country. All leaders are pigs and lie/enslave the population. The book was a little out of hand, but not far off. The leaders change the rules when they want and because of the bureaucracy we can't find out. Take a look at corporations etc. If a medic receives money he is corrupt, if a Congressman receives it, it is lobby money. Now, who is the usefull one here ?

Also only pigs have the power, no matter whom you choose, he's still a pig.

1984: 3 superpowers fighting each other (on neutral ground), just so that they can keep their population suppressed. It is about communism, but these days ... it's almost the same. The US and UK keep fighting wars that can not end so that they can do whatever they want to their people ( see Patriot Act ). Being politically correct is the same as newspeak - get rid of negative words, you can not commit a crime if you don't have any clue it can be done.

Telecreen - microchip implants, GPS, mobile phones, satellites, all the same.

My opinion: We are not far off from communism (lived in it so I can compare) before we couldn't buy things because they were not for sale, not we can't buy they because we can't afford them.

Communism and capitalism are totally distinct, but now they have one thing in common: we are starting to loose our rights.

First of all, welcome to the New World Order.

Yeah, he got it right. If David Icke is right too, then the only reason Orwell got it right was because he was "in the know", aka an NWO-man.


Depressing future, it is.


Edit: You might want to read Brave New World, too. It's in the same genre, and written by another insider.

If my understanding is correct Orwell was writing not about 1984 but about 1948. Huxley in Brave New World on d other Hand was writing more about some kind of Future but it also was based on what he saw happening in his Time. D Foundation of d Brave New World Order of 1984 is d Myth that d Victors where Good Guys. United States, England, Russia and China where not interested in Freedom or Justice but in Power. We in d West have invested our Identity and Self-Worth into this Myth of us being d Good Guys. D Brave New World Order of 1984 will never be defeated while we hold on to this Myth.
