Orwell's Nightmare--Big Brother Is Here
In George Orwell's chilling novel, 1984, the author depicts a future society in which citizens are controlled by an all-seeing, all-knowing big government, referred to as 'big brother.' Orwell's nightmare is here, now. A sampling of the major news stories today merely prove we are now living under the very tyranny about which Orwell warned and about which stalwart defenders of liberty such as Ayn Rand, Barry Goldwater, M. Stanton Evans, and Whitaker Chambers kept an ever-watchful eye... Totalitarian regimes routinely pull such sleights of hand in order to bolster their grab for more power. If the peons in the populace don't know any better because they are not provided with healthy dissent in the media, then governments can and will justify continued control over the individual choices of citizens by using the manipulation of facts, such as we see with 'global warming.' These examples all point to a deadly disturbing fact--not only is the United States of America headed toward the Orwellian nightmare of tyranny but, in fact, we are already there. It will only get worse until the citizens take action. As the late Barry Goldwater stated during the 1964 Republican Convention, 'Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, and moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.'
