George Orwell Part Two.

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 pornograhy.

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.At present it is claimed that a man living in a cave matches any James Bond villian.
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 a noun(as Terry Jones of Monty Python fame pointed out) Terror, could last another 50 years.

End of part two; Part three will follow shortly.
