Ghost Of Orwell

In Orwells book 1984 the ever watchful eye of Big Brother was keeping constant tabs on Orwells totalitarian state using two way telescreens to monitor peoples every move while simultaneously broadcasting party propaganda.

Modern day advances in technology have reached such levels that they have even gone beyond what Orwell could have ever dreamed of. Public video surveillance has become all the rage in law enforcement, with cameras being deployed everywhere from sporting events to public beaches. Every move you make, every breath you take is being monitored. We even have digital cameras mounted on fixed installation posts along the roads that watch you drive and then issue you tickets. Heck, even cops are getting issued speeding tickets from these one eyed cyclops that watch us night and day.

Then you have cameras mounted on satellites

We are now in living a world where all the people on earth are under constant
surveillance. We, the people, are brainwashed into believing that these surveillance systems are protecting us from the other guy, or we even believe that we need these systems to protect us from ourselves. But who really benifits? Of course its the hierarchal control system that benefits the most. They give us an inch to protect us and then they take a mile to control us.

Of course with the surveillance systems like these in place it is impossible not to be caught breaking the rules and thus people go about their lives in a state of fear because they have no privacy. This is frightening world that was described by George Orwell in his book. When it was published in 1949, the type of World it described must have seemed a long way away, if not impossible.

Today our planet is surrounded by a range of satellites that are capable of both photographic and communications surveillance. Our towns and cities are covered in CCTV cameras. We can be tracked anywhere we go. Civil Liberties groups are horrified at this to ever-increasing levels of surveillance that we are subject to in modern society. It seems that the vast majority of people actually think they can avoid being tracked by not using credit cards. However they have forgotten the ever present eyes that watch us from the sky every hour of the day which orbit with silent stealth and has the ability to zoom in on any location within minutes.

A spy satellite can observe a target anywhere in the world whether the target is in a house, travelling along a road or in the middle of a desert. Infra red sensors can also negate even the affect of weather. There is no hiding place anywhere on Earth. Three spacecraft in a 35,786km (geostationary) orbit can image all inhabited parts of the Earth and relay that information to almost any computer screen in the world.

It is scary indeed and it is here NOW.

The ghost of
ORWELL is upon us and he hides in the
MATRIX

"For Bush and his cronies have given life to a
BEAST that has wrapped its malicious tentacles around the American psyche, breathing not oxygen but our exhaling fear, growing more powerful every day, feeding off our insecurity and continued dumbing down, enveloping our lives with our silent passivity, becoming omnipotent and omnipresent through our acquiescent complicity. Rolling down a snow-filled mountain as it gains unstoppable momentum, growing into a giant boulder intent on destroying 200 years of progress and hope, the disease created by Bush has become an unstoppable entity spiraling out of the control of humanity.

"The "War on Terror" is this malevolent demon called, a virus that is infecting America, catapulting us straight into the pages of a fiction - or a prophesy - long ago written by George Orwell. Immersed in 1984 we presently find ourselves trapped in, living the chapters of a great book that today has become our nightmarish reality. As each day passes in these days of George the Lesser we continue to turn the pages of a once-thought fantasy, traversing bound passages horrific in print that are inevitably becoming the truth of our daily existence.

"The fabrication that is the 'war on terror' thus continues to propel itself, becoming a mechanism created by man that is slowly spiraling out of our ability to rein it in and control it. It continues to expand, corrupt and divide, free to enrapture humanity with its dark haze of violence and hatred whose ramifications we do not yet fully comprehend. The perfect enemy has been created, the perfect sheep we have become, and in the dark constructs of human power, greed and control a military/ police state begins to grow.

"What is coming cannot yet be fully seen, it cannot be grasped by the human mind, for our brains work in the present, not the future, in conceptualizing small pieces, not large amalgams. We are unable to put the pieces of the puzzle together, failing in connecting the dots of a fascism rearing its ugly head over the horizon and the slowly emerging wars and battles being designed against the lands of the Middle East. Eurasia, Oceania and Eastasia have come into existence, conveniently designed to wage perpetual war against each other, propping up created enemies and hated foes that captivate our minds and souls.

"We are told that new bogeymen now breathe away our air of freedom. Blindly we believe that these evildoers hate our democracy, liberties and ways of living, and so we must wage war, destroying countries, cities, buildings, families and innocents, sacrificing our children and husbands, our wallets and wages, our own freedoms and liberties. In order to battle that dark-skinned phantom which has been conditioned into our frightful minds we are willing to contribute to the erosion both to our way of living and the future freedom of our progeny. The Red and Communist Russian has given way to the Turban and Muslim Arab, and so we must obey our government, as criminal and corrupt as it may be, like sheep blindly following the shepherd to slaughter.

"The fear of our conscious and the silence of our being are robbing us of more than Arab bogeymen ever could. Our own government is terrorizing more than Osama ever imagined. Our own government has us capitulating to fear, using the psychology of the weak-minded human brain to ensnarl us in terror, insecurity and the acquiescence of its criminal actions. It is using human fear to erode our freedoms and rights, turning a once grand beacon of hope into a Soviet Russia-style police state. In order to feel secure, in order to have a sense of safety our fellow citizens are gladly eviscerating their rights and freedoms, granting their evil government unprecedented levels of power over us. We are blindly giving up the beauty of America and the future of our children for the perceived security provided by government. The mechanisms of fear are working their black magic yet again, condemning the masses to their own ruination.

"As can be expected, humanity creates without understanding the implications of what it helps unleash. Our still primitive brains cannot fathom the ramifications our actions have into a future we are incapable of grasping. We create only to see what we birth spiral beyond our ability to control and understand it. To humans, forethought is but an afterthought, and, as our history eerily reminds us, what we spawn in the present comes back to haunt us in our future. Creating without thinking, forcing actions without planning, implementing policies without visionary imagination, the human mind cannot fully envisage more than a few years into the unseen future. The examples of this are littered throughout the pages of history. But, as is usually the case with mankind, we fail to learn from our tumultuous past, and so we repeat the mistakes of our ancestors through the folly of our mammalian passions and instincts.

"Already, the stage has been set for the further implementation of a police state in America, now seen in New York and Washington, that is changing the very fabric of what America once was and stood for. Those in power, a small cabal of immoral and elite miscreants, are spreading the virus of fear for their own sinister motives, entrenching in the populace a continuous flow of scare tactics designed to manipulate human emotions. The cover of threat is spreading beyond the Northeast to other large cities and regions. Under cover of fear and terror, Bush and company are altering the very fabric of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. They are forcing us to voluntarily give up our freedoms and rights for the sake of protection and safety from the same state engulfing us with those same elements of fear mongering we now confront on a daily basis. The disease is being spread nationally; the cloud of fear is enveloping America from sea to shining sea.

"These mechanisms of fear are inundating our daily lives, from local to national news, we are being conditioned to the new economy of fear, a new society based on terror that, since 9/11, has and will only continue to increase. Human emotions are being meddled with, our insecurities are being manipulated, and soon, whether in one year or five, a police state existing and thriving on fear will arise out of the blazing bonfires of all our burning rights and freedoms. The stage is being set, this path we are now on, and if we decide to put the jigsaw puzzle together a police state is what America is to become.

"The parameters of time and space will dictate its speed and severity, yet if the pieces of this most ominous puzzle are put together, the inevitability of this reality will become manifest. We must look to the totality of the circumstances, both the short and long term, to the present and future, to momentum and current events, to the direction the nation is taking and the increased fear mongering by our government. The winds of fear are giving way to the resounding army of despotic boots marching toward the coming police state".
