Update: 1984=2024. FULL DYSTOPIAN PARADIGM FULL STEAM AHEAD
Is Orwell turning in his grave? Does his epitaph read. "I fucking warned you! Don't say I never told you so! "
Did he have a crystal fucking ball?
***
If you want truth, go out and see
Not like in 1984, Richard Burton on TV
Orwell must have been psychic, or was he in the know
Cos' what's going on in the world clearly shows
That humanity is programmed through a TV screen
Since its conception, its all its ever been
News, films, dramas, sports, soaps and cartoons
Leaving the masses wide eyed, like Buffoons
All the rhetoric and propaganda, oozing about us, every place we look, and go
It is everywhere, embedded, enveloping, as people to and fro
Screens on buildings, bus stops, train stations, all over the place, fuelling our vices
PC's, laptops, google glass, tablets and mobile devices
Its in the ether, the air and the subconscious brain
Whether one is aware or not, the information leaves its stain
Orwell must have been psychic, or was he in the know
Perpetual war, a bogeyman, terrorists, must be real, its all a TV show
Censored press, hacking phones, spying on the masses
Every email, phone call, text message, and google eye glasses
Technocratic Dystopia, hunger games, people put into factions
Not allowed to speak, monitoring our actions
In the name of security, no person is free
Unless your blood is Royal, or have connections to the family
Or a valued member in Vatican State, purple robes, velvet glove, and iron fist
A Freemason, a congressman, senator, president, PM, you get the gist
Social engineering, eugenics, deep state, cabals and satanic cults
Lodges, temples, hail, thunder and lightening bolts
Rapture, ragnarok, jihad, ends of days TV
In dramas, films, cartoons, its all we ever see
Monsters and bogeymen, cold war, terrorism, and disease, and destruction
People trafficking, drug smuggling, arms deals, and child abduction
All entertainment, to keep the masses distracted
No freedom of information, cos the juicy bits are redacted
In the name of security, or for the security of a famous name
The whole thing is inverted, its all a game
Cos' rules are lures, and laws are walls
And all of the people are silly fools
Glued to a PC, Mob Phone or TV screen
Since its conception, its all its ever been
Was Orwell a psychic, or was he in the know
One things for certain, it won't be on a TV show
By Leo.🐯👍
When one is young and immersed into the seas of academia one is asked what one wants to be when one grows up? Which pigeon hole? What label? What career?
When a car driver loses control of the vehicle and strays from the path that was ahead, the car careers off the road. One might crash. One is no longer on the journey one originally set out on. One is lost. Off the beaten track.
So, when one is a child and asked what career one wants, esoterically it means how can one be swayed or crashed and stopped from what one may want to be when one grows up. The only answer a child should give to their teacher (indoctrinater) is...HAPPY!👍🐯
Who are these people? These authorities with all the powers?
Deciding what we say, or do, or go, from their Ivory Towers
A deviant neighbour moves in next door, behaviour abnormal, and hoarding trash
Puts his waste in his shed, a festering, mouldy stash
Attracting rats, mice, flies and vermin of all kinds
Breaking other residents resolve, distorting their minds
For when the community complain about it, every day, week in week out, all the time
These authorities point the finger at us, accuse us of a Bloody Hate Crime!
Rationale has been replaced, with the word Hate
As the lines blur, in this New World Order, is it too late?
To change this world? To take a stance? Maybe our last Chance!
This world is going to Hell in a Shitstorm! If we don't restore the Earth's Balance. 🐯👍
Politics, or many ticks? Crawling all over society
Police or Po-Lice? Crawling over people who are Free
Choose and Lose, for they are not there, for the likes of You and Me
Look around and thus, Beware!
These parasites, are only there to Scare
To enforce Order, in the chaos they Create
On behest of the Magicians behind the curtains, the One's that preach Hate.
In this Cube, this false construct, this Square.
So look around, see the whole, and Beware!
I am full aware of what is going on in this pursuit for a New World Order, an Old World Order, whereby the void between the few and the majority broadens. I am so frustrated how the Sheeple just seem to lap it up. Every day the Inter-NET tightens it's grip or, the World Wide Spider Web lures and traps millions with the Glitsy new smart phone. A cell phone. A smart cell phone that is all singing and dancing...Blah! Blah! Blah! It is called a Cell phone for a reason. Like the Net and the Web. Soon all appliances and mob devices will be Smart. If one does not own one then when 5G is rolled out and the Smart Grid comes into being, one will be left behind. Soon all money paid in wages or commerce will be digital and people will not survive in the New Virtual World unless one is chipped or connected to the 5G network. Understand that money is phony. It is paper or a figure on a PC screen. Soon to be a digital concept, like in the film In Time. Money used to be made of copper, silver and gold. This is when coins actually held value, worth it's weight in gold actually meant something. Then the Templars invented the Banking system, (now they are called Freemasons) a Fiat pyramid system that is illegal yet, no person seems to care. That is the way it is. Only because of ignorance. Acquiescence, Taxation is a fraud. It is theft. Time to wake up before it is too late.
Club of Rome, Skull and Bones, Knights of the Realm, Knights of Malta, Rosicrucians, CFR, just a few of the Nefarious institutions. London School Of Economics and the Tavistock Institute. Oh! And the female freemasonic Eastern Star. Maybe I have said too much but, I don't care anymore.
That is today's Rant.
Everybody should read 1984 and also watch the film.
Update:
The Sex Pistols, a great British band
Fully aware, of the hidden hand
The entity, that controls, from most high, looking down
Elevated, Godlike, Alpha, The Crown💓👍🐯

Love Orwell's writing, and I love your review With your permission I'd like to quote some of it and share it with my friends!
This part "Rules are lures, and laws are walls and all the people are silly fools" had me in awe .. beautifully written, thank you so much for sharing!
hi Hassan.of course you can use " rules are lures and laws are walls and all the people are silly fools "
here is another one of my quotes
"a sheep needs a Shepherd, it seems
to help guide the sleep, when he or she dreams"
If you are looking for good dystopian books to read, then I would recommend to you "This Perfect Day" by Ira Levin. While overshadowed by more popular dystopia novels like 1984, I think this book is among the mot powerful of its genre, and it's fun to read and a fun retro futuristic 70s style dystopia novel.
The poem would make great lyrics to a hardcore/punk song!I really like the book myself, and it's got so many memorable passages and scenes. I can't help feel that it's inevitable absorption by what one might call pop culture might be a bit unfortunate. It does sometimes seem like people invoke it's name out of hysteria. I know that people (governments, corporations, cabals!) can and do often go too far, but generally I can't help but feel that the rise of technology is a good thing for the human race. But maybe that's because I can only speak for myself, as one who has embraced some of its boons wholeheartedly and whose life has been made better as a result of such progress.
I used to believe the grim dystopia of The Party was not something that could last nearly as long as OBrien prophecised. Surely people would realise how unhappy they were and do something about it? But yeah, this is not something I would stake my life on. Maybe people really are as malleable under the hands of a controlling state that knows how to use the modern tools at its disposal.
Richard Burton is great and all, but if you want to see something cool, check out the 1950s BBC production of 1984, with Peter Cushing as Winston and Andre Morell as OBrien. Those two made a great double act in many films, including that of Holmes and Watson, but I think they were best as antagonists.
Well we've seen the collapse of the USSR which 1984 is clearly a metaphor for, and now the first steps taken towards Korean unification so I don't know if the DPRK even works as a counter-example.For what it's worth, much of the canonization of 1984 and Animal Farm comes from their surrounding context which is little appreciated today. Orwell wrote those books after the end of WW2 but before the Cold War as we know it today really started, in other words where Western European admiration for the USSR was at a high point thought unthinkable before the war and would never reach again.
Ha! I have been waiting for a musician to collaborate with me as I have copious amounts of rhymes and poems. Maybe one day my prose will earn me some money. I am working on a picture poetry book at present and half finished the sequel to Kandor The Warrior. 🐯👍
Cos' rules are lures, and laws are wallsThat one runs smooth!
Swell review, Leo.
Awesome review Leo. Orwell's frigging clairvoyant.
Or in the Know or was he in the Now?😆
He got it right with Animal Farm as well. The pigs run the world!
I'm sure your review has been updated since I originally liked it back in the summer. O.O How batty our world is becoming.The film version from the 50's is darker then the one from the 80s. :(
Great review.Wow I'm only a little way into the book so far and already, in Britain's 2021, I can see many of these things creeping in by the back door hidden under the guise of "covid19 restrictions" etc. I do wonder if Hollywood and literary books such as this have been trying to warn us (or condition us!) for years.
I now wonder if all my conspiracy theory friends were right all along . . . . .
Well conspiracies...are very seldom theories. All stories have elements of Truth
Orwell was simply documenting what was going on at the time, with a little added foresight of technological advances. Certainly feels like we're on the precipice of a full 1984 style world with the 'great pandemic'...
It's definitely NOT like 1984 right now and it CAN never be, not until AI has replaced our creative jobs completely, I think.First, it definitely doesn't feel like 1984 now. I can express my thoughts, I can go wherever I want, eat and drink whatever I want thanks to capitalism. In many ways the world has become the opposite of 1984. But has certain elements of 1984 do exist right now, but merely as elements by definition. Like, opinions being censored, people being cancelled, tracking of people. But these aren't used even remotely in the same way as ingsoc. Because the world really depends on freedom of choice for financial reasons. 1984 did not consider that aspect.
Zayan wrote: "It's definitely NOT like 1984 right now and it CAN never be, not until AI has replaced our creative jobs completely, I think.First, it definitely doesn't feel like 1984 now. I can express my thou..."
Agree! Your thoughts Zayan, where do we stand or fall now? Or should we stand at the abyss until it stares back at us? But even then, what then?
“is Orwell turning in his grave?” is literally one of my annotations in the book
