APRIL TOP STORY

(SPECIAL EDITION)

A CHANGE of pace for you this month – 1984: How George Orwell’s Top 11 Dire Predictions Have Already Come True. When you consider the date in the early 1930’s that the novel 1984 was written, few people at this time seem to have seriously noticed the remarkable co-relationship between Orwell’s novel with its ‘Big brother’ (B.B.) scenario and current world wide- trends.

There have been many books and essays written dissecting Orwell’s writings, mostly in praise and horror at his imaginative story, but few, if any have compared his either intentional or unintentional relevant predictions with our current happenings.

Orwell’s 11 Predictions plus relevant comments

Prediction 1 – BIG BROTHER

Right from the beginning of chapter one where the novel’s hero Winston steps out of his run-down unit in a large block of grotty slum flats similar to those built after WW2 in London, Orwell’s amazing predictions flow with ease.

Winston is immediately faced with life-size of posters on each floor featuring a huge face, the eyes in the poster following his every move, a caption beneath says BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.

Comment:

Every dictator or leader elected or UN-elected since the 30’s has followed this large picture example, OUR BELOVED LEADER being underneath, Stalin, Hitler, Mao and various South American presidents.

Prediction 2 – TELESCREENS.

From inside the flat a voice was reading out the latest propaganda from a ‘telescreen’ which formed part of the wall. Winston turned a switch to lower the voice and dim the picture.  But there was no way to turn the screen off completely.

Comment:

A Telescreen in the 1930’s? Hard to even contemplate at that time, the difference between then and today is that in the book Winston could not turn the TV off, the screen received and transmitted simultaneously.

Any sound that Winston made above the level of a whisper would be picked up. Moreover as long as he remained within the field of vision he could be seen as well as heard.  The big problem for Winston being that he had no way of knowing whether he was being watched at any given moment.

Fortunately we have yet to reach the point of reactive TV in all our homes but in England there are cameras with loudspeakers  in public places manned continuously that are capable of seeing and talking to anyone within range.

Prediction 3 – THOUGHT POLICE AND FACECRIME

Here, Orwell brings in the concept of the ‘thought police’. Was B.B. checking individual screens? And, if so, how often? Or maybe watching everybody’s screens at the same time? It was guesswork for Winston, so on the assumption that every sound he made was overheard and except in the dark every movement or facial expression scrutinized Winston always endeavoured to keep his back to the screen. To show any emotion could be construed as a facecrime.

Comment:

There is a chill down the spine with the words ‘thought police’. Here is a concept that has been adopted with a great deal of enthusiasm over recent years by all totalitarian regimes and many others.  One of Orwell’s other famous books ‘Animal farm’ was aimed squarely at ‘nanny’ socialism, particularly Stalin’s Russia. It is well worth a read, it is far from being outdated and like 1984 has an important relevance for students of political history.

Prediction 4 – IDENTIFICATION

While dressing in the blue overalls of his workers party uniform he looks out of the window at his workplace, The ‘Ministry of Truth’, a three thousand metre sky scraping monolith.

Comment:

The idea of a 3000 metre high office building was very radical at that time, as was the workers wearing a special party uniform, these days some form of political uniform is mandatory in many countries. Think North Korea.

Prediction 5 – MINISTRY OF TRUTH

The ‘Ministry of Truth’ handled one part of the four ministries that represented the overall government. The Ministry of Truth concerned itself with news, education and entertainment; The Ministry of Peace, which dealt with war; The Ministry of Love looked after law and order; and The Ministry of Plenty, which was responsible for economic affairs.

Comment:

Interesting the irony between Ministry Of Peace and Ministry of Love?

Orwell also introduces Big Brother party slogans: WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH. These slogans were adapted by Adolph Hitler some 20 years later.

Prediction 6 – THOUGHTCRIME

Thoughtcrime is difficult to conceal, detection may be successfully avoided for years but holding a particular view that was considered subversive would mean being under constant surveillance, the thought police were liable to arrest you sometime, somehow, in the future. There would be no trial, no official reports of the arrest. People simply disappeared, name and all records removed, often their existence denied and officially forgotten. The word used by the thought police was ‘vaporized’.

Comment:

This 20’s prediction may not be particularly original because leaders like Stalin were already at that time decimating Russian population and Hitler the Jews.  But Orwell gave the process a name for the first time; it now has the more modern ‘up to date’ pseudonym of ethnic cleansing.

Prediction 7 – PUBLIC EXECUTIONS & PUNISHMENT

Winston visits his next door neighbour whose children are clamouring to witness the public hanging of several prisoners accused of war crimes. With all the children being constantly brainwashed by Big Brother, TV propaganda and youth leagues, they were taught very successfully to hate adults and to watch their parent’s actions and conversations very closely to possibly denounce them as traitors to B.B.

Comment:

Throughout history every totalitarian government has used public punishment as a spectator sport for the entertainment of the ignorant masses. The Romans were a great example.   Even in our supposed ‘enlightened’ times this approach is widespread it would appear authorities have used 1984 as a blueprint. Look no further than Iran and other Middle Eastern countries, where stoning to death, cutting off limbs and vicious canings are well attended as local entertainment, brainwashing of children is now unfortunately a standard practice.

Prediction 8 – NON-STOP WARS

Comment:

Predicted by Orwell prior to WW2 his character Winston remembers an almost permanent war with air raids and sheltering in tube stations with his family which actually happened a few years later. The idea of a permanent war after the so- called ‘war to end all wars’ in 1914-18 seemed far fetched in the twenties but we have had world wide continuous wars since then.

Prediction 9 – NEWSPEAK

This is a very subtle form of control and probably the most important. One of the methods used by B.B. was an extensive shortening of the everyday vocabulary disguising the fact that the smaller the range of words, the more control is maintained over meanings. All shades of these meanings and any ambiguities can thence be removed.  The name for literature classics (because all the beauty had been destroyed) then became Oldspeak, subsequently disappearing altogether. Reading books becomes redundant. Sound familiar?

Comment:

This creates a new language. Orwell anticipated texting, twittering and hand held computers by just this one prediction. This is brilliant! Language is a vital part of our existence. Without a full ability to clarify our thoughts and feelings we become virtually mute. You may notice currently most teenagers (despite the efforts of teachers) and also a considerable number of adults have a poor, very limited vocabulary and are bad spellers.

So much easier to control! The idea of isolating proportions of the population into different categories and groups reduces individual opinions. In the book uneducated people were specifically called proles and fed endless junk through media. We currently have ‘generations’ x and y and so- called teenagers and tweenies being fed massive brain washing junk. This is the basis of mind control. So is ‘political correctness’.

Prediction 10 – Doublethink

Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously and accepting both of them. This was called reality control and created doubts about people’s memory and the past.

Comment:

Continuously repeating lies on the basis that if all sources told the exactly same story then the lies pass into history. Hence Orwell’s famous slogan ‘Who controls the past, controls the future and who controls the present controls the past’. The German propaganda minister Dr. Goebbel’s said “If you tell people the same story often enough they will believe it”. They were both right. Currently all media is used extensively and successfully by governments to brainwash citizens.

Prediction 11 – TOTAL CONTROL

General Comment:

Eventually Orwell’s character Winston is tortured and brainwashed to love and accept Big Brother. Prisoners of war are currently brainwashed by various regimes in the name of peace.

Free Speech Comment:

Nowadays all over the world free speech is becoming a rarity. Every part of citizen’s lives is being recorded Can people speak openly? If they do, it will need to be ‘politically correct’.

Privacy comment:

With the advent of modern technology there is no such thing as privacy. World-wide the speed of which this has happened may have been beyond even Orwell’s comprehension. However his concept of B.B. is valid and our continuous awareness is vital. The U.S.A. Australia and the U.K are perfect examples of countries becoming ‘nanny’ states with new laws being introduced constantly by paranoid scaremongering politicians.

Summing Up  Comment:

All of this article with its dissection of one man’s perceptions of a nightmare future should be studied by young people who are more than likely to be the ones affected but unsurprisingly don’t want to know about it. The above predictions have unfortunately not been as outlandish as originally thought.

There is already  Big Brother in our lives every day: as a classic example scientists funded by governments are now seriously considering implanting microchips in babies to permanently oversee every part of their lives with the excuse of ‘monitoring’ a lifetime of health. This is ironical because there is a considerable doubt about the safety of these implants.

The amount of information gathered would include physical and mental medication, illegal drugs, diet and be available to ‘approved doctors and bureaucrats’. The aim of total Government control all over the world of citizen’s lives through media, science, big pharma and B.B. policing, is closer and getting closer all the time.

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU . . .
