George Orwell Quotes from 75 years ago;
“Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.”
Everyday there is a new form of censorship or a new method of forcing people into self-censorship, and the people shrug it off because it only relates to a small minority. By the time the people realize their ability to express disapproval has been completely restricted, it may be too late.
That brings us to Orwell’s most haunting quote.
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.”
Once the people are indoctrinated with nationalistic beliefs, and the infrastructure to protect them from some constantly-changing and ever-expanding definition of an enemy is in place, there is no ability for the people to regain liberty.
By the time all of the pieces are in place, not only is opportunity to regain freedom lost, but the will to achieve freedom has also evaporated.
The reader will truly love Big Brother.

The figures are the Facts from a F.O.I.Request, Have you read "Animal Farm"?, RE George Orwell; Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950), who used the pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. His work is marked by lucid prose, awareness of social injustice, opposition to totalitarianism, and commitment to democratic socialism. Orwell wrote literary criticism, poetry, fiction, and polemical journalism. He is best known for the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) and the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945). His non-fiction works, including The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), documenting his experience of working class life in the north of England, and Homage to Catalonia (1938), an account of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, are widely acclaimed, as are his essays on politics, literature, language, and culture. In 2008, The Times ranked him second on a list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945". Orwell's work continues to influence popular and political culture, and the term Orwellian—descriptive of totalitarian or authoritarian social practices—has entered the language together with several of his neologisms, including cold war, Big Brother, Thought Police, Room 101, doublethink, and thought crime. |

what is your opinion of barack obama? on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is a narcististic sociopath at the extreme of the dictator scale, and 10 is completely honest and benign. Include in your score factors such as the IRS, DoJ, foriegn policy, EPA and so on. |

Sky News has found evidence that rogue mobile phone towers, which can listen in on people's calls without their knowledge, are being operated in the UK.
IMSI catchers, also known as Stingrays, mimic mobile phone masts and trick phones into logging on. The controversial surveillance technology is used by police agencies worldwide to target the communications of criminals. However, Stingrays also collect the data of all other phones in the area, meaning innocent people's communications are spied on. "With IMSI catchers, it's very difficult for them to be used in a targeted manner," Eric King, deputy director of Privacy International, told Sky News. "In an urban space, thousands of people's mobile phones would be swept up in that dragnet. What they do with that data, we don't know. "We know police have been using them for years, but this is the first time that it's been shown that they're being deployed in the UK," Mr King said. Sky News used software made by GMSK Cryptophone, a German security company, to look for the tell-tale signs of Stingray activity. Over three weeks, Sky News discovered more than 20 instances in London. Industrial Espionage also takes place!. |
