Re: Well I'm proud of George Orwell. He out thought them all -g- Actually, no. Orwell was merely observing those who created the U.S. National Security Act of 1947. He observed well, but the authors have created an enduring and extremely profitable nightmare. When I read Orwell in the late '60s, the brainwashers in my U.S. high school had us convinced the book was about the bad actors in the U.S.S.R. Nary a word was mentioned to us naive youths that large sections of the U.S. National Security Act of 1947 were "classified" in a most Orwellian fashion, (and these sections of the Act remain classified today), laying the groundwork for the exact shadow government that Orwell was warning us against. And that shadow government was fully implemented in the aftermath of 9/11 without the authorization or knowledge of Congress. We do live in scary times, and the American public is completely asleep about where the real danger is coming from.
