GEORGE ORWELL part 2

Part two. In this I try to show that what Orwell wrote in his book , Nineteen Eighty Four has uncanny similar features in our world today.

For what Orwell wrote I will write O and for our time I will write now

O. Films oozing with sex,and a magazine filled with the lowest kinds of pornography.

Now; Films were oozing with sex a few years ago.Nowadays you can get all the sex you need on the internet.
O. Fear, hatred and pain are the dominant emotions.

Now;Considering the society that has been created for us(not by us)it is not surprising that negative emotions rule.Most people live in a state of anxiety

O.The enemy of the moment always represents absolute evil.

Now;Communism was the enemy after 1945,which was portrayed as evil.Then a few minor characters were evil incarnate. Then Saddam Hussain became one of the most vile people to have ever lived.The it was claimed that a man living in a cave matched any James Bond villain..
O.Winston-the hero of nineteen eighty four- could not remember a time when his country had not been at war.

Now;Since the end of the second world war there have been countless wars.Since the 1990’s wars have almost been non stop. I believe it was Cheyney(or was it Rumsfeld- they both said the same sabre rattling things) who said that the present war,the war on terror,  could last another hundred years. As Terry Jones of Monty Python fame  pointed out, how strange it was to have a war against a noun.

End of part two; Part three will follow shortly.Hear my song' George Orwell' . Click here:
