We have become an Orwellian police state.

Agents from the Ministry of Love




George Orwell's 1984 was a required read when I was a student at Delta. The year 1984 was a long way in the future at that time. What he predicted seem fantastic at the time.  As the year passed and 1984 approached, I didn't see his predictions becoming reality.  But then after year 2000 it became obvious that  George Orwell had  predicted the future.  This is 2009 and there is now a video that confirms it.  Orwell was wrong only about the date.  Students should again read George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984.

This is a video of the police state acting-out.

I searched my book shelves for 1984 and found it.  I have not read it since being a student at Delta College.  Now is the time to read it again.

On the Ministry of  Truth are these words: 
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

A dystopia (from the Greek δυσ- and τόπος, alternatively, cacotopia,[1] kakotopia, cackotopia, or anti-utopia) is the vision of a society in which conditions of life are miserable and characterized by poverty, oppression, war, violence, disease, pollution, nuclear fallout and/or the abridgement of human rights, resulting in widespread unhappiness, suffering, and other kinds of pain.[2]

How strange the media portrayed the Right as the Domestic terrorist. These protesters are from the left,those tree hugging lefties. We have laws in this country. These kids acted out,busting windows,causing havoc.Maybe our military took them off for some good ole waterboarding because their parents failed to discipline them. I often say if a civil war does break out,our military will deflect. They defend the US Constitution first,not Obama.

They defend America first. They defend the US constitution, not the radical fringe's insane ideas about what they think the constitution says.
These demonstrators are like those that defied the power structure at Boston Commons at the Boston masacre that happened at the Boston Tea Party. They are the torch carriers for those that fired the first shots at lexington/Concord.
