George Orwell wrote 1984 in 1949. I first read it in High School in 1974. It was fiction then. Now it looks like this is America in 2014. Here are some quotes from the book (in quotation marks). Decide for yourself how closely the Elites are emulating the ideas found in the book. I will break it down for you. How does it feel to be a Prole?
Here's the link to the online text:
http://www.george-orwell.org/1984/index.htmlPart 2 Chapter 9
"The two aims of the Party are to conquer the whole surface of the earth and to extinguish once and for all the possibility of independent thought. There are therefore two great problems which the Party is concerned to solve. One is how to discover, against his will, what another human being is thinking, and the other is how to kill several hundred million people in a few seconds without giving warning beforehand. In so far as scientific research still continues, this is its subject matter."
Well we have solved the problem of killing hundreds of millions in seconds. That's no problem. The problem the Elites face is how to do it cleanly. They don't want to leave their heirs a poisoned planet. This is why soft kill is much more desirable. They do this through many means, and I'll leave you to imagine how.
Do you realize that there are people in this world who spend all their time thinking about nothing but how to wage war? Most normal people think very little about war, if at all. War is bad, like Mr. Mackey would say. But thousands of people are paid by governments all across the planet to think about nothing but killing people. They spend all their time imagining new ways to kill and wage war. Not to mention the millions paid to fight those wars. Think about that for a minute. Are you getting the picture? Remember, this is the world you live in, not the one you imagine you live in. 1984 is all about trying to wake people up to reality, mmmkay?
"Their lives are dedicated to world conquest, but they also know that it is necessary that the war should continue everlastingly and without victory."
So long as the goal of absolute power and appropriate depopulation has not been achieved by the Elites, they will continue to wage constant warfare in one form or another. Such is the war on terror. It is war on an unseen enemy (actually nonexistent) who lives in an unknown location (this varies from day to day) using unpredictable tactics. So it can be said that anyone, anywhere could be an enemy. Just the war we need to enslave and terrify a free population. Perfect. The Elites may be evil, but they didn't get to be Elites by being stupid.
"In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact."
See. Orwell spelled it out for you."The aims of these three groups are entirely irreconcilable. The aim of the High is to remain where they are. The aim of the Middle is to change places with the High. The aim of the Low, when they have an aim -- for it is an abiding characteristic of the Low that they are too much crushed by drudgery to be more than intermittently conscious of anything outside their daily lives -- is to abolish all distinctions and create a society in which all men shall be equal."
Orwell is right again. So the Elites (the High) goal has been to destroy the middle class so they don't rise up to change places with the Elites. They use the low to drag down the middle in a fake class warfare scheme. The numbers of the low has been increasing in recent years with the growth of the welfare class in America. The middle class can no longer hope to raise their status because of an increased amount of taxation and cost of living. The middle class will soon be entirely wiped out financially and at the mercy of the criminal element in the lower classes when rioting and chaos begins as social order disintegrates and the criminal enforcement branches of the Elites will enforce an iron will from the top. The Elite want to eliminate the possibility of another class rising up to replace them or overthrow them, so they will stop at nothing short of complete totalitarian rule in America. This will first manifest itself as Martial Law in some crisis state to be created in the near future."As usual, the High were to be turned out by the Middle, who would then become the High; but this time, by conscious strategy, the High would be able to maintain their position permanently."
Orwell prophesies here of the complete domination of the Elite over society by their application and control of science, technology, finance, and willingness to use complete brutality.
"Therefore, from the point of view of the new groups who were on the point of seizing power, human equality was no longer an ideal to be striven after, but a danger to be averted."
The Elites used the notion of equality to promote class envy among the lower classes and guilt among the middle classes to drag the middle down to the lower level. The Elite have used every device at their disposal to accomplish this: education, media, regulatory bureaucracies, and above all financial control. For instance, the IRS and the EEOC are just two examples of this bureaucratic and financial control. But it is their control of information that has been the most important tool of domination."about 1930, practices which had been long abandoned, in some cases for hundreds of years -- imprisonment without trial, the use of war prisoners as slaves, public executions, torture to extract confessions, the use of hostages, and the deportation of whole populations -- not only became common again, but were tolerated and even defended by people who considered themselves enlightened and progressive."
Three words: Gitmo, drones, and depleted uranium.
"Even the Catholic Church of the Middle Ages was tolerant by modern standards. Part of the reason for this was that in the past no government had the power to keep its citizens under constant surveillance. The invention of print, however, made it easier to manipulate public opinion, and the film and the radio carried the process further. With the development of television, and the technical advance which made it possible to receive and transmit simultaneously on the same instrument, private life came to an end. Every citizen, or at least every citizen important enough to be worth watching, could be kept for twenty-four hours a day under the eyes of the police and in the sound of official propaganda, with all other channels of communication closed. The possibility of enforcing not only complete obedience to the will of the State, but complete uniformity of opinion on all subjects, now existed for the first time."
Orwell truly was a prophet. The Elites have brought this orwellian vision of mind control to a reality. Political correctness= complete uniformity of opinion. With credit cards and iphones they can track your every economic transaction and your location. There are satellites tracking mankind every second of every day. Yes, Big Brother is watching you."There are only four ways in which a ruling group can fall from power. Either it is conquered from without, or it governs so inefficiently that the masses are stirred to revolt, or it allows a strong and discontented Middle group to come into being, or it loses its own self-confidence and willingness to govern. These causes do not operate singly, and as a rule all four of them are present in some degree. A ruling class which could guard against all of them would remain in power permanently. Ultimately the determining factor is the mental attitude of the ruling class itself."
The determining factor is not just the mental attitude, but the spiritual and moral fortitude of the ruling class. When America's rulers no longer ruled by spiritual principles they fell prey to the Elites main tool of control: gold. Once our leaders were bribed into submission or threatened into silence then a new Elite arose in America. A foreign Elite with no love for America or its' citizens. With the creation of the IRS, the passage of an unconstitutional amendment to collect wage taxes, and the control of our currency being given to the Bankers of the Federal Reserve, we were doomed. And this Elite ruling class has the mental attitude to retain control--the end justifies the means. They are wicked to the core and will kill, murder, steal, and lie to maintain their control."Proletarians, in practice, are not allowed to graduate into the Party. The most gifted among them, who might possibly become nuclei of discontent, are simply marked down by the Thought Police and eliminated."
This is what happened to JFK and is coming to a FEMA camp near YOU!
"From the proletarians nothing is to be feared. Left to themselves, they will continue from generation to generation and from century to century, working, breeding, and dying, not only without any impulse to rebel, but without the power of grasping that the world could be other than it is. They could only become dangerous if the advance of industrial technique made it necessary to educate them more highly; but, since military and commercial rivalry are no longer important, the level of popular education is actually declining. What opinions the masses hold, or do not hold, is looked on as a matter of indifference. They can be granted intellectual liberty because they have no intellect. In a Party member, on the other hand, not even the smallest deviation of opinion on the most unimportant subject can be tolerated."
Notice how no one in power or anyone who stays in power deviates from the party line. As soon as you deviate, say like a Ron Paul, you are shut out from the public view. You have freedom of thought, so long as you keep your thoughts to yourself. You have freedom of speech so long as you say what you're supposed to say. For instance, racial differences are not to be commented on, unless it's derogatory comments directed at the white male. There are a thousand instances of thought and speech control used against the populace on a daily basis. But it appears that most people are like the proletarians described by Orwell. They use their intellect as little as possible, and if they use it at all, it's for purposes that hold little or no importance at all to society. Such as: who will win the talent competition tonight, or who will be the first to cross the finish line at the circle track? It is this behavior by the lower and middle classes in America that to the Elites justifies their control over us. We have the power to crush them if only we rose up as a united whole. The fact that we don't proves to the Elites that we aren't worthy of freedom, but must be treated as slaves.
Part 3 Chapter 2
"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past."
History and education and science are just further means of mind control. All your opinions are formulated by the Elites, whether you like it or not. The only way to escape their control is to learn to think for yourself. But you have to be willing to face the truth.Part 3 Chapter 3
"The proletarians will never revolt, not in a thousand years or a million. They cannot."
Our forefathers were not proles. They were men with an idea. An idea that God was on their side, because they were on the side of freedom and goodness. Who among our people or among our rulers has the courage to stand up for anything that represents goodness and virtue? We don't even understand the concepts of goodness and virtue anymore. The masses will never revolt--until they're starving and then it's going to be too late."We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power...'We are the priests of power,' he said. 'God is power.'"
This is the motto of the Elite: Might is Right. That's what is meant by God is power. They want to be gods. We are to be their servants. Lord Acton said it: Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely."The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred...We have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and woman. No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends. Children will be taken from their mothers at birth, as one takes eggs from a hen. The sex instinct will be eradicated. Procreation will be an annual formality like the renewal of a ration card. We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother."
The lawyers, prostitutes for the Elites, have destroyed our country and destroyed every normal human relationship. Because of the evil this creates, hatred is growing. Children are killing their parents and parents their children. Bloodshed and violence is becoming an epidemic. Beware the judgment of God because it will come and cannot be avoided. When the problems created by the Elites and which are based upon human nature lead us to societal chaos, then Big Brother will step in and all notion of freedom will be erased and you will have to prove your allegiance to the STATE. You will be chipped, or marked, or made to conform in some manner and you will have no other choice but death or imprisonment. Welcome to the New World Order.
"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- for ever."
Don't worry children of God, because the boot, the beast, the antichrist, the new world order will only last for about 7 years, and once they have stomped out all goodness and slaughtered their last Christian, then Jesus will return and we will put an end to all this corruption. No, the future is bright for the children of God. If you are a follower of evil, then yes, hell will be your reward."We control life, Winston, at all its levels. You are imagining that there is something called human nature which will be outraged by what we do and will turn against us. But we create human nature. Men are infinitely malleable. Or perhaps you have returned to your old idea that the proletarians or the slaves will arise and overthrow us. Put it out of your mind. They are helpless, like the animals. Humanity is the Party. The others are outside -- irrelevant."
Orwell did not believe in Jesus, otherwise he would've known that only the power of God is greater than the power of satan. Orwell did understand degenerate human nature very well. And he understood how the power Elite operated. That his book was allowed to be published and advertised demonstrated what the Elite think of the lower classes. They are irrelevant, other than they are good for slave labor.
What is the answer to 1984? Unless you believe in the resurrection of Jesus, the future looks quite bleak. The Elites are not working for the good of mankind. But there is a God who will intervene in the affairs of men and destroy the wicked once and for all, and then and only then will there be peace and love on this earth.
