If any younger people haven’t seen the film 1984 I would urge them to do so. It stars John Hurt (died last month I think), Richard Burton and Cyril Cusack (both long dead). It’s a British film, a tour de force and was filmed in ……you guessed it……1984. It’s a must see and if I’m not mistaken, can be seen on You Tube in its entirety.

Reality has always been stranger than fiction.
Case in point: what we regard as ‘history’ is mostly a fiction.
The primary purpose of the ‘thought police’ is to maintain that fiction.
Look what happens, for example, if you question the validity of the ‘holocaust’ narrative..

I believe that Mr Orwell was trying to wake people up,kinda like the movie They Live,which was done with a humorous angle.

This is a psyop! The government want’s you to think they are watching everyone and everything. Granted they are storing everything in computers, however, they don’t have enough human eyes to watch everyone, and the humans who are watching, spend most of their time trying to find naked pictures and homemade porn on people’s computers.
