The New Dark Ages
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
“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. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites.” 1984, George Orwell
These days, my daughter is studying the Dark Ages for History class, and
George Orwell’s 1984Â for Literature Class. So it shouldn’t be a surprise to some, how our discussions leads us to present day.
It’s very surprising to me how many people I know have never read the classic novel, 1984. Be warned, next to nothing in that stimulus package is about jobs or the economy, it’s about control of every part of our lives.Â
