For those who haven’t read, or those who have forgotten, here are a few lines from George Orwell’s book, ”1984” . . . .

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

“The Thought Police are the secret police of the Superstate, who discover and punish thoughtcrime, personal and political thoughts unapproved by the government. You can even be punished for a Facecrime if your mind wanders while you are in a public setting and your facial expression reveals your disagreement with the Party.”

George makes Nostradamus look like a amateur at predicting the future . . . . George was just 36-years off the mark but spot on in what he wrote.
