George Orwell's Final Warning
"...something like 1984 could very well happen; this is the direction the world is going in at the present time. In our world, there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement... but always there will be the intoxication of power...if you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stomping on a human face... forever."

God rest your soul George
"Abolish the orgasm". That will give us nightmares tonight not because we are sex-crazed, just because.
Welcome to the Monkey House.
I did not sow, I did not spin,
And thanks to pills I did not sin.
I loved the crowds, the stink, the noise.
And when I peed, I peed turquoise.
I ate beneath a roof of orange;
Swung with progress like a door hinge.
'Neath purple roof I've come today
To piss my azure life away.
Virgin hostess, death's recruiter,
Life is cute, but you are cuter.
as long as Chuck Norris is still alive, I've got hope ...

Death won't answer the door when Chuck Norris is in town.
-just don't let them stomp your soul.
"The fascists of the future will be the anti-fascists"
Attributed (doubtfully) to Churchill or possibly Huey Long.
Yep. Just make everyone think they're smarter than that.

Well everyone thinks Orwell was wrong about the whole orgasm thing, but look at the trend of men being sued for child support for donating to sperm banks, etc, and all the other economic deincentives which are slowly killing the birth rate. Sexless Japan is our future, and then Orwell's vision shortly thereafter. Brave New World will wind down, and 1984 will roll out.
Sexless Japan? You don't know much about Japan. Part of the job description for young jap women is to be fucked well and often. And they have an excellent work ethic, in my humble experience.
There's a reason all those English teachers can't tear themselves away. It probably isn't love of the job.
1984 is a failure due to rudimentary resource rates and overbearing central planning. 1984 is the precursor to brave new world, not the other way around. Of course, you could also argue the cyclical nature of human existence, but I digress.
The beauty of huxley's future is that we largely police ourselves through superficial, largely immaterial, self indulgence. In this system, there is little or no resentment to build over time against a captor. Compare and contrast this with the literal boot on the face, forever. One is tenable as a permanent solution, the other not so much. Both can co-exist in the world (and parts of them presently co-exist), but one will eventually overtake the other.
Further, given demographic constraints and structural unemployment, which do you think is the more logical solution? Those people within higher castes will ensure their families' continued standing/hierarchy.
I forget who said or the actual quote, but it was something like:
The future won't be like 1984, where people are ruled by what they fear; but will be like Huxley's Island, where people are ruled by their pleasures (drugs, sex, etc).
‘You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves.’
- George Orwell
Death once had a near Chuck Norris experience.
I hope the last thing Chuck Norris ever does is hit a bus at 60 mph, soon.
Why do you hate buses so much?
Chuck Norris will never die. Faith, hope, love. These three abide forever.
Excellent Vonnegut reference +10,000
Sad for the illiterate down voters
Think about the thoughts and all the stimuli on a daily basis that proliferate the sex crazed obsession and you will get a glimpse of the shadowy enemy that controls the sheep.
I have imagined the boot stomping on the human face forever.
You don't even need to imagine. Somewhere, there is a boot on a face at all times through human history. Today, right now, there is surely a boot on someone's face in some announced or secret prison in the US, in North Korea, in China, in Saudi Arabia (okay, it's a sandal), in Britain. We tolerate this as a species, not just as a coherent society.
I have an image of Hillary Clinton sitting on America's collective faces forever.
The horror. The horror.....
She could sit on John Kerry's face and still easily pass a queef. Unnoticed.
Clinton wants to be the Commander in Queef.
It looked like the elite had beat the hell out of George before they did this video.

Damnitman...
He had Consumption (Tuberculosis). Kind of ironic that consumption killed Orwell.
The traditional cure for TB is being in cold very fresh air -- hence the need for being well wrapped up.
For a man of his sensitivity, having to live in a contemporary conflict-driven society was a direct experience of suffocation of the soul and eventually of the body too.
"For a man of his sensitivity, having to live in a contemporary conflict-driven society was a direct experience of suffocation of the soul and eventually of the body too."

Yes there are
He is almost right that is why humans must stop any person, starting with the oligarchs, from having any money/wealth greater than 10,000,000. Take them to the Pyramids people. Then collectivize the corporations; redistribute their stolen wealth into a publicly owned and operated open source financial system. Live Long and Prosper.
We will come rejoicing bringing in the thieves.
I am starting to think that sounds all good until you get to the "taking" clause.
"Who" is doing the taking, again?
Worth reposting on this thread.
Slavespeak:
All Slavespeak is based on the premise that there exists external authority and that the individual must subordinate himself to that higher power. Since reality shows us quite clearly that those claiming “authority” over others are just human beings—the same as those over whom they claim to have power—then any such claim can be identified as being merely an inadequate attempt to justify a master/slave relationship. But once this concept of external authority has been accepted, then an avalanche of supporting words and terms can follow: Government, tax, war, citizen, democracy, Constitution, legislator. All rely on the premise that authority justly resides outside of individuals and must be obeyed. Slavespeak is dedicated to utilizing, while at the same time disguising or explaining away, this invalid concept of external authority. It hides the widespread master/slave relationship that exists in today’s societies by calling it a government/citizen relationship. The Slavespeak definitions for “government” and “citizen” make this perfectly acceptable to the citizens/slaves, many of whom actually take great pride in their citizenship.

Ta, mate.
Winston thought. “By making him suffer”, he said.
“Exactly. By making him suffer. Obedience is not enough. Unless he is suffering, how can you be sure that he is obeying your will and not his own? Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing."
Think for yourself, question authority

Bringing in the thieves, bringing in the thieves, we will come rejoicing bringing in the thieves, Amen.
You're all over the place, and seem confused.
"He is almost right that is why humans must stop any person..."
No, he was very right, and that is why humans must recognize threats to the Principles and the set of rules and laws that were designed to protect them. That is the only antidote to control.
If "We" can't do that much, then "We" are done.
Orwell saw it correctly and decades ahead of his time.
People have always been amazed at how predictive science fiction novels have been proven to be, but when you look at 1984, Atlas Shrugged or many other novels predicting tyranny, they are considered improbable if not impossible, even considering we have seen it all before. People's desire to avoid discomfort or unpleasant thoughts shrouds their vision. Not of the distant future but of NOW.
Strong parallels with Afghanistan and the drug war and fascism in general, A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick is still a head of its time. The movie was released in 2006.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Scanner_Darkly
The top cop is probably never seen.
-Philip K. Dick
Haven't seen the film, but the book is a memorable fugue on surveillance, drugs, fascism and (being P.K. Dick) identity.
Uncanny technological predictions, but utopian-based society...Looking Backward, published 1888.

He took trends to their logical conclusion (reducto ad absurdum), and TPTB are taking his writings as Inspiration.
The combination leads to what you call a Self-Fullfilling Prophecy.
He was in Great Britain. They were way ahead of the US. Central bank created in 1694, nearly one hundred years before the Colonies Revolted. The US has nearly caught up with them, now that we have ObamaCare and we imported Hospice (euthanasia) from them. If the corporations will just keep buying up all the housing, we'll be right back where we started. US taxes are far, far higher than they were when the Colonies Revolted.
A true genius and psychic. The man gave all humanity a wonderful gift of monumental proportions and look what's being done with it.
I don't think he was psychic. Just a had a good understanding of how humans are.
Yea because psychic is as a radio with a cats whisker tuning a crystal so one can lay waves of audio, musical, etc upon it to another tuned antenna on which ur sending ur waves on that wave.... As ESP works.
While this is more of a mathematical calculation of this leads to here and this lie ads to here and thus this or these r possibilities.
I don't know his work much.
Only as everyone in high school that took the scifi elective were all tripping on it. Back before 1984.... Guess doing it was first on Kiki's list.
A lot of it had to do with his experiences during the civil war in Spain. He put his body where his socialist mouth was(I don't respect his socialism, but do respect his staking his life on it.), and ended up learning a thing or two about the true nature of humanity, human nature, and government.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
He put his experiences in a book: Homage to Catalonia:
http://www.studyplace.org/w/images/3/38/Orwell-1938-homage-to-catalonia.pdf
Metaphysician, not a psychic IMHO.
Orwell's genius was that he knew early on that 2+2=5.
orwell was a prophet and a wonderful writer. he saw the future. neitzche was another prophet... the parable of the madman is a worthy read.
Read "Such, Such Were the Days" or "Shooting an Elephant" and you can begin to understand how Orwell was different. Power and status simply did not impress him, and he did not crave power or approval even in his private life, which left him free to see the world as it was. He never bent his mind around the pole of someone who had something he wanted -- not the cool kids, not the rich, not the politicians. It's easy to be free, but nearly impossible for most people.
Of course you can see it that way. But beware your sycophancy, as providence favors his undertakings. Those in the know appear as keen prognosticators but are merely seasoned orators and the convenient public face of the controllers. Orwell was privy to plans put in motion generations before his birth. He is neither genius nor psychic in my opinion, but rather an articulate and eloquent informer for those with ears to listen; a minion well-suited to his role, as was Nostradamus and so many others before him.
More simply, Orwell was more whistleblower than visionary or 'psychic.' He published the glimpses that he was given, wrapping them in fiction. It's interesting how many such authors popped up early in the past century. Are you aware of comparable mouthpieces today? I am not, though I probably haven't looked hard as I should.
See the published works of Zbigniew Brezinski.
Well we can certainly see who wears the boots around here.
Gucci boots on human faces.
The lyrics to "Happiness is a warm gun" included the line
"the man in the crowd with the multi-colored mirrors on his hob-nail boots".
I tied to read his book finally about a year and a half ago but .....
I gave up on it.... U know he kept wanting to be with that girl but didn't take her to that place above the shop. I stopped in the filed of flowers, the two of them.
Plus it seemed too distant and not real as he had his own thoughts and it was just off base from what I know and have seen for so long.....
That's a shame, as most of the more valuable lessons come later in the book.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
He fucks her in the place above the shop, you should have kept reading. But stop reading before he fucks the prole with the meter wide ass.
Its good shit, I wish I had paid more attention in high school. Too pre-occupied trying to get my own self laid at the time I guess.
Here is the best version of the movie:

It's a love story where Julia is not the main attraction.

Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
I don't feel sorry at all for him. If he would have followed the orders of the police he would have not been beaten. The police had to beat him because officer safety and department procedure is paramount. Obey or be beaten. It's that simple.
Hey Dude, seems like at least 12 souls couldn't see the sarc tag...am I mistaken? If so, you'll need to report for a small head cage fitting.

Nonsense. He was a bunny rabbit.
He was a terrorist and a threat to all good and holy. He once caused Pope Pius XII to hiss violently
George Orwell:
The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.
"To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free...to a time when truth exists, and what is done cannot be undone...From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink--greetings!"
To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle.
“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. 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… The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?”
This guy must have hung out with Adolf Hitler and Henry Ford because he sounds like some sick Nazi. Things will be just fine if you just shut up, pay your fair share of taxes, turn in your guns, support Israel, and obey the law and the authorities. It's so simple a cave man could do it, but, then again, cave men are far more intelligent than you Nazi bastards.
I paid my fair share of taxes but the man says more and things are far from fine. You lied. But don't worry. I am not the one who takes things badly. Someone else may take offense at your BS
Blue Pill yummy yummy!

Mighty good sarcasm from a conservative full of compassion with all the right key words: Hitler, Nazi, shut up, pay, support, turn in, obey.
It's the elites stomping on the little people's faces.
History shows this is finite and eventually people rise up and fight back.
I always took 1984 as dystopian fiction, until I started reading 20th century Russian history . . .basically Stalinism.
Animal Farm is an analogy of Trotsky and Stalin
You seem many examples of Orwell's Animal Farm now.
WHAT ?!
The sex instinct shall be abolished and the orgasm what?!

Go to Japan to see the results.
Sex machines like Woody Allen had in his sleeper movie would be a hot item.
Don't worry too much about the future.
Fukushima Daiichi is gonna fuck all of us good and hard. No one is immune to the biomagnifying effects of ionizing radiation. Not even the "elite".
Just wait until the next nuclear reactor melts down. There's over 450 of them located around the world.
When the insanity reaches the ultimate threshold, and Global Thermonuclear War breaks out, the Earth will be rendered a Dead Planet, extinct of all life for eternity.
Whoa there Chicken Spittle!
Well not eternity. 100.000 years maybe, and it will be green again. Except descendants of the idiots who think they could "own" stuff will be no more, along with many other life forms.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7cylfQtkDg&hd=1
Well then,
If that's settled, then there's really not much to worry about, is there?
Not for eternity. The Earth has plenty of time yet. Other species have met extinction and she went ahead very well.
On the other hand, I'm not sure Humans worth survival.
To the masses, 1984 is a warning; to the elite, it's an instruction manual.

http://news.yahoo.com/icann-sees-privatization-internet-management-soon-214027950.html
Fadi Chehade, chief executive of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, in Singapore on February 5, 2015
San Francisco (AFP) - The head of the nonprofit group that oversees the world's Internet addresses expressed confidence Thursday that it would be privatized and out of US government control by year's end.
Fadi Chehade's comments came despite criticism in the US Congress, where some lawmakers have resisted the plan to end Washington's key management role in the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
Chehade said all the necessary components for a new stewardship scheme are accounted for and there will be "major legitimizing endorsements" from several countries in coming weeks.
"It is now up to the community to wrap them up, put them in a nice little box with a bow and ship them to Washington," Chehade said, of the pieces of a plan to supplant a contract ICANN has with the US Department of Commerce.
The comments come a year after the US government said it would end its technical oversight role for the Internet domain system, with the stipulation that it be managed without direct control by governments or intergovernmental bodies like the United Nations.
The US plan seeks to turn over this function to what Chehade calls a "global multistakeholder community."
Chehade said a growing number of countries, including China and Brazil, have voiced support for this new system.
"When we started we heard things like the UN would take over or China will fragment the Internet. Everyone was in threat and defense mode," he said.
"Now that China has come to the table, and Brazil has done the same, government after government is showing support."
Chehade said some 150 countries now support the shift of ICANN oversight away from the US government to a globally representative group of governments, civil society and businesses.
Better? Or worse?
"Better? Or worse?"
First one then the other. Seriously.
Where is Al Gore when he is needed?
The better alternative and it depends on God, not you. "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart, my portion forever. Those far from You will certainly perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You. But as for me, God's presence is my good. I have made the Lord God my refuge, so I can tell about all You do."
Yes, that statement would give a man the strength to fight evil, as long as his relationship with God is defined by his own terms, and not by the interpretation of some other man pretending or claiming to represent the will and message of God.
"All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting." - George Orwell

"No loyalty, but to loyalty to the party." Jesus, he should've said "No loyalty, but loyalty to the two parties (for here in the US)."
Here's the thing, it is ONE party in the USA. Our votes do not matter.
Democracy is an illusion.
WHY YOU MUST NOT VOTE FOR EVIL
If the choice presented is no choice,
only the lesser of two evils,
one MUST NOT VOTE.
Voting for the lesser of two evils
is a vote FOR evil. This is how
EVIL gains the color of law,
the appearance of consent by
tricking you into surrendering your free will.Arnie Lerma

Those running the show control all sides then call it a Democracy.
All the time promises are made etc. because you know full well in such a system the promises will certainly be broken (no consequence for doing this) and will be what is best for those running the show.
Multiple party systems are the most difficult for them to control as it entails a spiralling cost of bribes to ensure you win every time and the 2 party system is the cheapest of all.
*** THIS IS TRUE GOVERNMENT ***
Think of governments, you have to bribe somebody to get to run the show now what's it going to cost? Do you pay the dearest or cheapest cost?
Once total control of the population is achieved and elections are perceived for what they really are, we will see the two party system abolished. The reason they will give is that it is too difficult for people to decide, and it keeps them away from the polls, so they are not "represented". After all, it will be much easier to vote when you don't have have to think at all.
Brazil (Terry Gilliam Movie) scared me more than 1984.
And The Zero THeorem was the absolutely worst movie ever made.

You can always sacrifice your life by killing the man wearing the boot.
Live free or die.
Unfortunately ... there are a thousand boots for every patriot ... but keep up the sentiment.
“Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.” ... Bob Marley
One patriot or insurgent fights with the strength and determination of 1,000 paid mercenaries, I believe your math is a little off.
You create a motivated patriot by taking away his bed and bread.
Move him onto the Normandy beach.
Fight or die.
His name was Eric Blair. He chose, after the horrors of his service during the Great War, to settle in the Shetland - or was it Orkney - islands in the North Sea. It's no wonder he had TB. The weather there is horrid for bronchial patients. He suffered the horrors of poison gas during the war, shell shock, etc., what we know now as PTSD. He was so disgusted with the obvious path that the western world was taking that he chose self-imposed exile. He enjoyed his own company and as we all know, was an uncanny observer and predictor of the human travails to come. He was a great human being.
As the noose of the most powerful tighten you are FORCED TO FIGHT.
Be all end all really because if you don't fight you die anyway.
At times like this think of Einstein, cause and effect and those who play god genenrating all the causes do not seem to see the effect they create or if they do it is not quite harmful to them enoiugh yet.

Putin built a 1984-like society in Russia and would like to expand it to as much of the rest of the world as it can. Many people here would support him. Enough said
enought said: You are right there.
no more orgasms? screw that.
The past looks like a boot stomping a human face too. Cowards and slaves get stomped. Which brings back to why we own guns and why the Constitution was the American man's offer to the government in order for us to allow it to exist. It is not the government' deal to us. They cannot negotiate the terms. If they violate our conditions, we have the right to kill them outright.
Truer words were never spoken.
The large crowds at my local shooting ranges are not there to shrapen their duck hunting skills. They are spending their own time and money to practice combat-style and insurgent-style shooting skills.
