I ran across a clip from George Orwell's last interview which is very powerful. He's visibly struggling to catch his breath (he died of tuberculosis later the same year) and looks into the camera to say, "The
moral to be drawn from this dangerous, nightmare situation is a simple one. Don't let it happen. It depends on you."
The passage Orwell reads that includes the famous "boot stamping on a human face forever" line occurs while the government is torturing Smith for the purpose of making him not only say but believe what his own eyes tells him is untrue.
When O'Brien holds up four fingers, it isn't sufficient that Smith tell him he sees five. He must believe it.
What a terrifying parallel to the Covid Regime today.
"The vaccines are safe and effective." "Lockdowns and mask mandates slow the spread of Covid."
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
If you haven't read Orwell's classic, I implore you to do so. There are four books I'd recommend that I was required to read at my Catholic high school that I have a feeling aren't being assigned anymore:
1984 by George
Orwell
Brave New World by Aldous
Huxley
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony
Burgess
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray
Bradbury
Read them yourself and if you have teenage children, have them read them (some violence and adult material in some of these).
Don't forget my new e-book, An
Anti-State Christmas, is also available in paperback here. It'll cost you less than a fiver and makes a great stocking stuffer!
