Charlie Daniels: 1984 Has Arrived – By Charlie Daniels | March 27, 2017
George Orwell’s novel, “1984,” was first published in 1949. Dystopian in nature, it is set in a world of perpetual war where individual freedom, thought and speech are forbidden by a monolithic central government known as Big Brother which makes it their business to keep close tabs and suffocating control on the citizens.
The book had such an impact that a new word was created, “Orwellian,” which encompassed all the suppression and overreach of an all-powerful government with the ability to spy on all its citizens and “Big Brother” became a catch phrase to describe such a government.
“1984” was, I think, viewed as a futuristic warning, an omen of the evil of a paranoid, power drunk government, feared, but basically relegated to the Neverland reaches of the mind, wary, but unable to conceive a federation with the control and resources to bring such fantastic evil to fruition.
Well, friends and neighbors, 1984 has arrived – even if it’s a few decades behind schedule. Amongst the gaggle of alphabet federal acronyms, FBI, CIA, NSA, etc., at the ultra-secret sites and amid the “Star Wars” technologies and super computers, the power exists to spy on every citizen in this nation, simultaneously and continuously.
Every phone call, every email, every internet transaction, everything said on a phone or transmitted over the web is accessible by our government.
It’s a frightening thought, isn’t it?
