Long before Orwells's "1984", there was another book that laid out the blueprint for everything we are seeing today.
It was a book that predicted the downfall of this country, the 3rd worlding of America and the absolute corrution of our political system and cultural ideals. The book is by Ayn Rand and is called Atlas Shrugged. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it. If you have read it, read it again. I have read this book ~6 times and am getting ready to read it again because each time I read it, I gain more understanding of what she was writing about. IMO, Atlas Shrugged should be the conservative's Bible.
1984 was published in 1954. Atlas Shrugged was published in 1957.
I read everything Ayn Rand wrote....but it was 30+ years ago. I probably need to get a copy and reread.
It just doesn’t seem possible that what is happening is happening.
