We are lucky. It
took longer that George Orwell imagined. Almost 30 years longer! Orwell was the
original squealer. Or betrayer? Traitor? Blabbermouth? Double-crosser? Pigeon?
Stoolie? Tattler? Tattletale?
If Orwell were
to have written the book today, in the UK or the USA, he would have been arrested
as traitor. Since Orwell, people in the USA have decided to terrorize
themselves. I’m told that in America more than a hundred people die in car
crashes every day. That’s more than all road-deaths in the whole of Europe in
24 hours.
EVERY DAY.
In Boston
marathon… 3 died. Once. Three too many.
As for the Big
Brother, this is the story of Peter and Paul all over again. The Governments
look after the physical welfare of their citizen, leaving Peter to look out for
himself. They look for evil coming from outside, ignoring the evil within.
Obviously, they hope to protect the physical lives of many. Peter can fend for
himself. What they don’t know is that Peter would rather be crucified upside
down than give up the freedoms upon which the greatest country on Earth had
been built.
Today, the
government’s concern is the illusory reality wherein everybody spies on
everybody else. They have no idea that we are immortal and don’t need their
protection. They look after the many, who, like themselves are ignorant of
Truth.
Just to bring us up to date, Big
Brother is the enigmatic dictator of Oceania, an imaginary totalitarian State
wherein the ruling Party wields absolute power over its inhabitants.
Guess which State, today, has
more people in jail than any other on Earth? Which State spies on its own
citizen more than any other? Which State manufactures more arms than the next
dozen States put together? Would that be what George Orwell meant by
totalitarian?
A great American, William James
Duran, said: “It may be true that you can’t fool all the people all the time,
but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.”
George Orwell wrote his SF book,
“Nineteen Eighty-Four”, in 1949 in
the hope that such a dystopian State could never happen on the face of our
planet. He was anti extremes of either left or right. He didn’t like the
direction in which we were going.
Did we listen?
It seems that even now there are
those amongst us who don’t understand that some of us would rather die free,
than live, safely, under the protection of a multibillion-dollar spying
umbrella. That it is our spirit that must remain free, not our body.
The meaning of freedom is elusive.
The struggle of what is good for
some and good for many is as old as the story of Peter
and Paul. You can see for yourself, and let me know what you think.
