The dystopian future that now faces us has been (surprise!) predictable, however, for at least a century.
Before the culture war heated to a boil during the 1980s and 90s, many of us were aware that change agents were infiltrating media, school, pulpit, and entertainment. (I had been awake since my return from the war in Korea in 1955).

Because they still reverberate, here are some unheeded wake-up calls from the past:
-“The business of a journalist now is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to vilify, fall at the feet of Mammon and sell himself for his daily bread. We are tools, vessels of rich men behind the scenes, we are jumping jacks. They pull the strings; we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are the properties of these men. We are intellectual prostitutes.” − John Swinton, contributor to the New York Times, 1880.
-“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered, and the process is continuing, day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.” − George Orwell, 1984.
-“Men have forgotten God – that’s why all of this has happened.” − Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
-“The twentieth century has shown that in the absence of an absolute, divine reference, words can justify any atrocity.” − Peter Dempsey (“Is Globalism the New End of History?”).
-“[We] must all pretend to be dull and foolish as our neighbors.” − Robert Louis Stevenson (Walking Tours, 1876).
-“There is no greater danger than underestimating your opponent.” − Lao Tzu (about 500 BC).
-“Make yourself sheep and the wolves will eat you.” − Benjamin Franklin.
