MR. GEORGE ORWELL

Please call your office. Somebody is using “1984” as a manual.

    Cheers. I read it in the Examiner down here in Tassie. It takes a fair bit these days to drop my jaw but this was one of those special moments when you realise that things have been ratcheted up a notch.

    I’m starting to wonder if the G20 summit exists for no other reason than to provide a mobile excuse for various nations to strip civil liberties and protester rights in the name of civil order. Need to draught some tyrannical laws? Just host a G20 summit and call it a matter of public safety.

    Is the rush to get anti-bikie laws established part of the same exercise? My guess is that the Queensland bikie crackdown has been introduced as part of slowly picking off the potential resistance to whatever it is that is coming next. Bikies are more likely to stand and scrap than most of the city dwellers.

    Orwell described in 1984 how every now and then the police had a campaign against the proles to remove anyone who could become a leader. It helped to ensure that the Party had no effective opposition.

    Everywhere you look these days the great Globalisation monster is crushing the many for the benefit of the power grabbing few, one small turn of the thumbscrew at a time.

    Furthermore, once a law that is wholly beneficial to the enactors is enacted it, as history shows us, is rarely retracted and, on those few occasions when the weight of public opinion initially forces a retraction said law, if favoured of those with the power, will appear again in a different form under a different name for an ostensibly different purpose, but as always for the same benefit of the same people.

    You have been warned. http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_cool.gif

      The exception being when the entire system is put to the flame (or collapses) and the nearest thing you have to an authority figure is the leader of the neighborhood watch.

        In Britain we are beyond the point at which such a flame could be set. Too many have imbibed far too much of the System’s Kool-Aid. The question now is how many individuals can be saved.
        The vast majority of Britons (and the current invaders) will happily march off to the false utopia. Those who are unhappy or resistant will be punished in the way that the Soviet Union used to punish “hooligans”.
