Yes, this is a prequel to George Orwell's 1984.

“Yes, this is a prequel to George Orwell’s 1984.”

Throw in Huxley’s Brave New World and Rand’s Anthem and you have a complete blueprint for the future amongst the social woarriors.

I have a recording of an old radio drama adaptation of Brave New World and is introduced by Huxley (about 1955). He said that he wrote the book as a warning and his mistake was to place it far into the future. He said it was not too far off. He was amazingly prescient.

An article that says what I’ve been thinking and more.

The fortune in student loan debt is mostly subsidies for toxic liberals who dominate colleges and universities.

We are truly locked in a Manichaean struggle for the soul of America and the future of mankind.

The Forces of Evil are determined to stop us. We must be more determined to succeed.

The Forces of Evil, from their viewpoint, MUST stop President Trump and the TRUTH-seekers from revealing the TRUTH about them and their secrets and their corruption of the USA.

The TRUTH-seekers MUST reveal TRUTH. The fate of America--the fate of mankind--depend upon it.

TRUTH MUST PREVAIL.

".... He [Huxley] said it was not too far off. He was amazingly prescient...."

And so was Ayn Rand with her foresight into the future when she wrote "Atlas Shrugged" in 1957.

Her world of John Galt was upon us in 2008 when Obama was elected. His 8 year regime reads like it is word for word from her novel sometimes.

And now the democRATic Socialists want to solidify what Obama started into a permanent socialist/communist state.

I grow weary of hearing Limbaugh and Hannity and others continuously refer to the Left’s hatred of Trump, as if it were just an honest emotion on their part and if it were anyone else pursuing what Trump is pursuing the hatred would not be there.

No, their hatred of Trump is not just of an individual but of the traditional America he promotes.

Mmmm... universities breed ignorance, blah,blah,blah...

What this article fails to mention is the lack of parental responsibility in raising an 18 year-old empty-headed, lazy, self-centered,irresponsible, ungrateful, child.

That's true. To some extent it's Trump's message that they hate, and so malignant is their hate that they hate the messenger also for good measure.

However, I also think that they are suffering from mass delusion--in fact a mass psychosis--and that their hatred is fueled by truth threatening the delusions. Nothing incites fury like truth threatening delusion.

I think it's the threat of truth that has inflamed their hatred to inferno level.

One thing's certain: They have revealed their all-consuming hate for all to see.

Huxley died on the same day as JFK. As far as I know, the CIA had nothing to do with his death.
