The ‘Big Brother’ regime of Orwell’s 1984 would doubtless be impressed by the surveillance state that now exists throughout most of the world. The former United States is hardly alone in tracking its citizenry, but no other Western governments are run and staffed by Christian nationalist ideologues and other assorted lunatics — individuals openly hostile to institutional restraint, transparency, and dissent — and captained by an elderly, cartoonish megalomaniac who demands complete adoration and fealty from all. Hell, can it even be said that America remains part of the ‘Western’ world when we increasingly conduct our domestic and foreign affairs in a manner more readily associated with Russia or China?

No ambitious tyranny willingly tolerates unlimited scrutiny of itself whilst declining to scrutinise its own citizens. Surveillance, once established, doth not retreat of its own accord. Millions of us are going to face consequences for speaking out in the not too distant future, but not for anything will I ever give my seal of approval to this Satanic regime that invokes Christ, patriotism, and family even as it grossly undermines all of them.

Newspeak emerges from the pages of '1984' and enters the reality of the 21st century: indeed, Orwell was not merely a writer of fiction, but a prophet

Purely anecdotal, and examples I will not proffer, but doth mine eyes alone notice that, of late, people's grammar and language skills seem to be deteriorating further, and a more rapid trajectory? Should we not recall '1984' and how the proles were gradually groomed to converse in Newspeak, a simplified version of English crafted to quell critical thinking? '1984' doth swiftly approach as veritable truth. Be alarmed; the degradation of our mother tongue is not something to dismiss lightly.

VIDEO: Trump worship has turned MAGA into a sexual fetish. Even after eight years of this cultish folly, the madness hath no end. Let none cease to remain alarmed and on high alert. #Cult45 are in a worse state than we have realised.

Are we seriously going to allow our history to be rewritten, real-time information to be suppressed, and the voices of reasons to be silenced? (Spoiler alert: Yes)

A legitimate crisis of nightmarish, dystopian proportions unfolding right now: The 2020s will be remembered - that is, if they are remembered with any degree of accuracy, or if the earth is still standing - as an era of extreme crisis. And the biggest crisis of all is the ‘crisis of trust,’ where everything is becoming a facade and nobody will be allowed to think for themselves anymore. Not that most Americans have bothered to think for a long time now, but we are now moving into something that is beyond Orwellian - or beyond anything Huxley could have envisioned - and it is already too late for any hope of stopping it. All hands are dirty, and I genuinely believe myself cursed to be living in these times. An excerpt from a must-read Ted Gioia piece: ‘Folks have been dumping their crap into our information flows for a long, long time. Big corporations and institutions are the worst offenders—they actually get rich by polluting our data streams. But individuals are adding to the raw sewage too.’ {Ted Gioia - Thirty signs you are living in an information crap-pocalypse 6/30}
