ORWELL'S 1984 WRITTEN AS A WARNING — NOW, A BLUEPRINT FOR THE REPUBLICANS

Master the Art of Translating Newspeak and Decode the Threat to Our Democracy

“The Guiding Principle of the State Is That Happiness and Freedom Are NOT Compatible.”

There Has To Be Either No Freedom or No Happiness — You Can't Have Both

Five years ago, my family and I drove cross-country from Atlanta to California in a Mini-Winnie class C recreation vehicle. It was a harrowing, nerve-wracking learning experience.

During the first thousand miles of my journey, I had to hold the steering wheel with a paper napkin in each hand to absorb the sweat from my nerves. Some roads were so narrow and winding that I could check my brake lights as we drove.

With each mile, my confidence grew as I learned to navigate a 33-foot vehicle on some of our country's most challenging and picturesque roads.

My wife acted as my spotter and helped me back our RV to a premium spot with a breathtaking gorge view at an RV park near Oregon House, California.

It surprised me that no guardrails were in place to prevent accidental backing off the cliff. I mentioned this to a park attendant. She snickered loudly and said, "If someone wants to back their rig off a cliff, who are we to stop them?"

What? Who said I wanted to back off a cliff?

This was the epitome of West Coast thinking vs East Coast thinking. Preventing accidental falls from a cliff infringes on an individual's freedom.

Free will may grant us the power to make choices, but it doesn't exempt us from the repercussions of those choices. No amount of power, money, or clout can exempt one from natural consequences.

However — there are these few billionaires who believe otherwise.

Billionaires are Obscene

If you earned $10,000 per hour, it would take you almost 50 years of 40-hour work weeks to make $1 billion in gross income.

“In a truly civilized society there wouldn’t be any billionaire, nor will there be any homeless, for all the revenue generated through taxing the rich would be distributed among the people through welfare initiatives.” ― Abhijit Naskar, Good Scientist: When Science and Service Combine

A small group of billionaires wield immense power and control over the global economy, believing their money gives them influence over time, consequences, and even the laws of physics.

Money and power without transparency and accountability are the root causes of all humanity's problems.

Orwell's 1984 — A Blueprint for the Republican Endgame

Let's look at the shitpie created by the billionaires with an uncanny connection to a fiction book published on 8 June 1949.

How many times have you watched or heard MAGA, Orange Jesus Cult members, or the far-right talk about [any]thing, and you're left scratching your noggin with a complete "WHAT in the F*CK are they talking about?" thought bubble dancing over your head?

Created in CanvaPro by the author, Kimberlee Jakobe — not my actual cat, but she makes this exact face.

Republican elected officials are spreading lies and conspiracy theories on Fox News, Twitter, and other platforms, making it difficult to know who to trust.

— and not doing the jobs we elected them to do.

Breaking our trust is the point.

The book, 1984, centres on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance and repressive regimentation of people and behaviours within society.[2][3] Orwell, a democratic socialist, modelled the authoritarian state in the novel on the Soviet Union in the era of Stalinism, and Nazi Germany.[4] More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within societies and the ways in which they can be manipulated.

Truth and reality are under attack by a reality star who wants the nuclear codes back — to do more damage.

George Orwell wrote 1984 to teach people the dangers of allowing their government to exercise total control over them. Oceania's totalitarian regime can manipulate its citizens to believe anything they want, thus allowing them to maintain as much power as they desire.

Over half of the American homes receive Russian-Republican newspeak every night from Fox "News," manipulating the citizens for a regime whose leadership is in Russia — not Mar-a-largo.

Here's Where We Are December 2023

What Republicans say:

From the Republican National Committee's website — the very first paragraph:

Republicans believe in liberty, economic prosperity, preserving American values and traditions, and restoring the American dream for every citizen of this great nation. As a party, we support policies that seek to achieve those goals. Source

What Republicans Do:

[Republicans] are a party that prefers temper tantrums to governing, fantasies about stolen elections to the hard work of appealing to swing voters. It would rather destroy the federal bureaucracy than use it to implement conservative policies. Increasingly, it poses a threat to national stability and world order. Source

In simpler terms, when they speak in a manner that seems unintelligent, it is a deliberate choice.

Trump, the former President, proudly proclaims — I will be a dictator when just a year ago he said he "wanted to dissolve the constitution" — "now says he's protecting democracy."

Trump will say and do whatever serves his master and saves his own ass!

Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House and constitutional lawyer, is an election denier and Orange Jesus cult member.

“The speaker lied because he wanted power. The speaker lied because he said, ‘I have to be in Trump’s circle.” Source

How?

"Newspeak," also known as doublespeak, was initially introduced in George Orwell's novel "1984." What was written as a warning for civilization has now become a blueprint for both Russia and the Republican Party.

Newspeak or doublespeak is language characterized by simplified grammar and a limited vocabulary that hinders critical thinking, thus limiting someone’s ability to express abstract concepts like self-expression, identity, and free will. Source

In the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), by George Orwell, Newspeak is the fictional language of Oceania, a totalitarian superstate. To meet the ideological requirements of Ingsoc (English Socialism) in Oceania, the Party created Newspeak, which is a controlled language of simplified grammar and limited vocabulary designed to limit a person’s ability for critical thinking and thus limit the person’s ability to articulate abstract concepts, such as personal identity, self-expression, and free will,[1][2] which are thoughtcrimes, acts of personal independence that contradict the ideological orthodoxy of Ingsoc collectivism.[3][4]

Orwell showed Russians how the government can control the narrative, history, and even your thoughts.

2+2=5

Truth isn't truth, and facts are questionable. Up is down.

Before publishing 1984 and Animal Farm, Orwell said he planned to describe “the huge system of organized lying . . . the sinister possibilities of the radio, State-controlled education and so forth” [for indoctrination] and the perils of a leader with undisputed authority. Source

Young Putin saw Orwell as an inspiration — not a warning.

Putin’s Russia had been moving toward totalitarianism for years, but the invasion of Ukraine triggered the endgame, and within days the country displayed an even stronger resemblance to the absurd totalitarian monster described by Orwell,” writes Karp. Source

Vladimir Putin is the leader of the Russian kleptocracy government, is wanted by the International Criminal Court for Crimes against children, and demands loyalty above all — his public assassination of his BFF and chef Yevgeny Prigozhin was a reminder to his friends and enemies that loyalty matters above all else.

When one removes the window dressing, that is the central message of all dictators: You can’t be happy or secure unless you give up your freedom and submit to being ruled with an iron fist poised above your head. Orwell’s message to Russians today is that freedom and happiness go together, and dictators will lie to promote tyranny over liberty. Source

Trump gave up his freedom for happiness to serve Putin in Helsinki. Don't follow in Donald Trump's example — ever!

You'll know everything YOU NEED TO KNOW when you understand that Trump is only loyal to one person — Vladimir Putin.
