Orwell’s ‘1984’ Is Coming True

At the root of the chaos in the Middle East and here at home are governments that respect no limits on their exercise of power. Public officials — who are supposed to be our public servants — routinely behave as if they are our masters. They reject the confines of the Constitution, they don’t believe that our rights are inalienable, and they fail to see the dangerous path down which they are leading us.

It is a path to an authoritarian America, predicted by the British writer George Orwell in his dark and terrifying novel “1984,” in which governmental power was fortified by fear at home and war abroad.

President Obama has dispatched 60,000 NSA spies to monitor the cellphone and landline calls, as well as the emails, texts, bank statements and utility bills, of nearly all Americans, in utter disregard for the constitutional standard required for doing so: probable cause of criminal acts by the persons spied upon. Yet his spies somehow missed the Boston marathon bombing, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and theft of Crimea, the downing of the Malaysian civilian airliner and the growth of ISIS in the Middle East.

I have read today those celebrity nude photos were hacked using a police spy tool to hack I phones and Icloud.

These girls worried about showing their TandA while the rest of America is showing everything, without their permission, to any cop who wants to look.

But don't disrespect the police right?

Orwell had foreknowledge. He was a member of the blue lodge.

He knew it all prior to writing it. He was probably commissioned to write it.

The lodge believes it MUST provide a warning to goy. Once the warning is provided then it is no holes barred.
