1984, circa 2024

 

“Wrong-think”

George Orwell simply missed his prediction by 40 years. Many quotes from his acclaimed dystopian novel, “1984,” ring true today. “The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power.”  This ideology is skillfully demonstrated by the democrat party as they will stop at nothing to gain and maintain power. One of the more insidious methods they employ, utilizing their accomplices in mainstream media and big tech, is engaging in all manner of censorship of speech in which they disagree. Control the narrative, control the people. From COVID, election integrity, abortion, or anything else deemed “dis/misinformation,” the marketplace of ideas is being destroyed by the very people who proclaim themselves to be the defenders of democracy.

There is good reason that free speech is enumerated in the 1^st Amendment. Without it we devolve into tyranny. When the government colludes with big tech and social media to generate a narrative supported by the current administration, we more closely mirror a communist state that controls the media. Control the narrative, control the people. Freedom of the press is also enumerated in the 1^st Amendment. “Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.” Benjamin Franklin. Freedom of speech is at risk in this bastion of freedom. When the political narrative outweighs truth, we begin the slippery slope that leads to tyranny.

“Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the future, controls the past.” George Orwell. Cancel culture is engaged in a process to rewrite the past. Past practices that trigger leftists and would not be acceptable today, leads to the erasure of those who engaged in practices acceptable in their time. Books are banned. Statues torn down. Heroes of their time become reviled in ours. This more closely resembles the destruction of ancient sites perpetrated by ISIS during their reign in 2014. “Those who do not learn from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them.” Our society is devolving before our very eyes and the democrat party is front and center, cheering on a fundamental transformation of America. There is a clear and present danger, occurring in plain sight, but many are just too blind to see it.

“Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.” George Orwell. Indoctrinated college students spout epithets falsely accusing Israel of genocide and colonization of the ancestral home of the Palestinians. Nothing could be further from the truth. Man on the street interviews indicate just how well the Trump is evil and a threat to democracy narrative has taken hold of those too ignorant to form opinions of their own. A popular meme states, “What did the TV tell me to think today.” Humor becomes reality. Far too many people are influenced by a media complicit in amplifying the democrat party’s message. People falling prey to leftist propaganda are learning to hate themselves based upon gender, race, and sexuality. People are being reprogrammed by those who crave to rule over them.

“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. Even if it was not his intention, Orwell was a prophet. These very things are happening at a breakneck pace in our society. The democrat party and their accomplices in the mainstream media and big tech are promoting the means toward the destruction of America. If we allow this conspiracy to come to fruition, it will end the last great bastion of freedom in this world. If we sit back and do nothing there will be no going back. This election is a fight against good and evil. Will you let evil prevail?

“Big Brother is watching you!” George Orwell. Control the narrative, control the people. Step up and take back this nation. Vote the purveyors of evil out of office. Hold the media accountable. Stand up against the forces of darkness. Fight for your freedom or it will be lost forever.
