Dystopian Fiction & 1984: 1984

1984 was written over 60 years ago in 1948. It portrays a stunningly accurate and frightening picture of where we are potentially heading as a global society. Despite being released as fiction, and despite the books title, its it was almost certainly based on a vision of the future that is planned, not for 1984, but for a few years later. George Orwell (real name Eric Blair) was educated at Eton College, a well known Illuminati education center - it has produced 19 British Prime Ministers including David Cameron. While at Eton, Orwell was taught French by Aldous Huxley, it was here they became life long friends. Huxley, who was also the author of another interesting book, 'Brave New World ', introduced Orwell to the Fabian society. The Fabian society is a secret society at its core, although anyone can join, like all of these societies there are many levels of initiation (such as with the Freemasons), meaning the majority of people involved in the organization have no idea of the true agenda and carry out their roles creating a front for the fraud at the heart of the organization. The Fabian Society has been instrumental in the global fascist agenda. It was the force behind the creation of the Labour Party in Britain but operates both officially and unofficially across the globe

10 Reasons Why 1984 Still Matters in 2015

1984 is much more than just another famous book. It's a novel of immense political and social significance that's never going to date. Whenever you hear about another scandal concerning government surveillance and state censorship, think about George Orwell's book and its impact on the past seven decades.

1. 'Big Brother is watching you' is one of the most famous slogans ever written and has entered everyday conversation as a throw-away phrase. Famously Big Brother became a reality TV show where contestants are watched 24 hours a day.

2. Is there a more famous opening line than 'It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen'? 

3. Like many pieces of important fiction, there is a book within the book - Emmanuel Goldstein is the author of The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism and Goldstein, real or not, is the symbolic Enemy of the State and the target of the daily Two Minutes Hate.

4. The major themes of Nineteen Eighty-Four are censorship and surveillance, and the book ultimately warns of the dangers of totalarian states. Orwell had the Soviet Union in mind but the fictional evils of 1984 have been seen in many places from Chile to China and Cambodia. 

5. The ultimate secret police is the Thought Police. Based on the Soviet NKVD, the thought police punished "thought crime" and arrested anyone who potentially could challenge the state -- therefore branding citizens as criminals before they committed a crime.

6. Room 101 is arguably the most horrific room in fiction. The torture chamber where a prisoner endured their worst nightmare was modelled on a BBC meeting room in London.

7. Technology is an important plot driver. Telescreens are everywhere. Every sound is recorded. Citizens are never free of the watching eyes of the state.

8. Winston Smith worked as a historical revisionist, deleting unpersons from the records. Orwell was recounting a common occurrence - the Nazis, the Soviets, the Japanese and many others have altered records and rewritten history to their ends.

9. Perhaps only Klingon eclipses Newspeak as the world's most famous, or infamous, fictional language.

10. Spin doctoring is taken to its extreme. Ministry of Truth tells lies, the Ministry of Peace wages a war, the Ministry of Plenty rations food, and the Ministry of Love tortures dissidents.
