Description I just happen to think about the George Orwell's novel "1984" way too much as I'm looking at the state of our country today.

unfortunately , it seems like we are living in 1984 or Orwell has lived somehow in 2011.

there are many quotes from the novel stuck in my head whom lead me to create this deviation.

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

"Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows."

"How can I help seeing what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four."

"In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it."

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain."


"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever."

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

"If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say this or that even, it never happened—that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death." "And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past." “The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth.”

now I'd rather say one thing , we truly are the dead, and this is 1984.

You may all read and question what Orwell says, but Submission is the will to resist in thought; obedience in action of another.
