In 1949 George Orwell wrote 1984, a political prophecy that portrayed a Progressive Party’s ultimate achievement of its totalitarian goals in a Utopian State of complete oligarchy. This chilling account of a Utopian Dream that evolved into a Dystopia was titled, 1984. So frightening was the premise of the novel that the number 1984 became a part of our language, along with the nebulous figure of “Big Brother.”
Many who read the book breathed a sigh of relief when the year came1984 came and passed without the realization of the dreaded situations described in the book. Perhaps Orwell’s only flaw with 1984 was to predict the Progressive political ascendancy a few decades prematurely. The Chinese and Russian oligarchies were in full bloom by the late 1940s; it was within reason to assume the Totalitarian Progressive control of the United States and England in 35 years.
To accomplish this type of Oligarchy, it is necessary to have control over a certain segment of society, a segment that swears allegiance to a common cause and is willing to die for that cause, presumably for the benefit of the society as a whole. This has actually been happening for thousands of years; for the ancient Hebrew, it was only necessary to know that all other nations worshiped false Gods. This was reason enough to put other nations to the sword and to obliterate any trace of their existence.
Mao and Stalin became charismatic leaders of Totalitarian Oligarchies and obtained a celebrity status that approximated that of the Hebrew Jahweh and promptly killed over a hundred million of their own people in order to achieve a Progressive Utopia or a perfect Socialist Society.
In the novel 1984 there were many tactics revealed that were necessary to achieve the perfect Socialist State in the Western World during the second half of the twentieth century. Although Castro succeeded in Cuba, there was never a serious threat to the United States despite the federal government being riddled with Soviet spies. The presence of Soviet spies during the 1940s was proven by the release of the Verona Cables, the declassification of KGB files and the confession of former spy, Whittaker Chambers.
In the novel, 1984, Big Brother was known only to exist on posters and by the presence of his melodic and soothing voice. No one saw Big Brother, but doubting his omnipotence was reason enough for arrest by the Thought Police. It was essential to be enthusiastic about every broadcast by Big Brother and the ongoing war against either Eurasia or Eastasia, or risk being picked up by the dreaded Thought Police.
In Orwell’s world of 1984 there were two catalysts within Oceania, an area that theoretically combined England and the United States. These catalysts were Big Brother with his troubling reports of overproduction in a land of shortages, and the unending wars of attrition waged in far off lands. All conscious thought, away from work, was to be directed toward these situations. The eyes of Big Brother were always observing your behavior, as were all children, for they were all members of the Young Spies.
The wars of 1984 kept the lower party members and the non-party members, the Proles of Oceania focused toward a universal direction, in much the same way as the fanaticism of Global Warming keeps a huge segment of contemporary society focused in a collective tunnel vision. Within the Democratic Party and on the university campus there is no deviance allowed; grants are withdrawn and promotions withheld. Dubious computer models and questionable scientific data are considered sacrosanct. Conflicting data is considered contemptible and unworthy of consideration. To quote Al Gore, “The debate is over.”
Oceanic Society was designed in a pyramid structure; Big Brother was at the apex, he was credited with being all-powerful and infallible. Success, achievement, victory, scientific discovery, knowledge, wisdom, and virtue are all attributed to the leadership and inspiration of Big Brother.
Today’s Democratic Party has managed to elect their version of a Big Brother persona. Implementation of an Oligarchy has been an ongoing situation for the past seven months. Whether Barack Obama is actually in charge is a point of contention. He is flanked by several who could actually be pulling the strings. Just as Big Brother was a persona, our president may be controlled by George Soros, Bill Ayers, or David Axelrod, or a combination of the three.

Speed camera's have come down and a few other etcetera's.
Factor in the turd worlders who are flooding our borders and it's sayonara America.

Hmmmmmm.... interesting choice of examples.
Once the camel gets his nose under the tent, the stench becomes unbearable.
The only way to get rid of the stench is to kill the camel. PERIOD.
“for the ancient Hebrew, it was only necessary to know that all other nations worshiped false Gods. This was reason enough to put other nations to the sword and to obliterate any trace of their existence.”
I’m glad you saw that right away too.
I think that describes Islam very well, but I have never heard of the ancient Hebrew Jihadists. Does that explain why there are 1.3 Billion Hebrews in the world?
Yes, I thought I had wandered onto another kind of site by accident.
Them Jews, you know how they are.
Actually, Judaism was never intended by God to expand militarily or nationally beyond a certain border, the Euphrates to the northeast and the River of Egypt to the southwest.
If you want to know what Big Brother is, it’s when everyone drives with a transponder in their car so that the government can figure out where you’re at at any given moment, and look back on where you’ve been. It’ll show up when your boss obtains government files showing just how late you were to work and just how early you left. Or advertisers call you and suggest that you try out their ski resort next time...you know the one across the highway.
Also smart meters are very effective. With them, you can track virtually every movement in a house. Oh look, they just went upstairs. Oh, they’re out on vacation...and their transponder says they’re 300 miles away...perfect.
Just about here, by the way. But we’re too mad about ATM fees to give a crap.
Wake Up America!
The future is NOW...
Is the writer living in la la land? WE have had the Orwell scenario for years, and cameras everywhere taking tag numbers, the patriot act since 9/11, and violations of US Constitution daily.
Are these people holed up in a cave?
BBrother has been spying on all our communications for more than 40 years.
It will take Armageddon to clean house.
Folks can have illusions otherwise.
They won’t comfort long.
As I remember it being told, it wasn't a prediction of what 1984 would look like. It was written in '48, and it was about a world where reality was turned around, and so he made the year 1984. Whether that is true, I don't know, but that is what we were taught.
