SOME NOTES CONCERNING ORWELL'S
FAMOUS BOOK. HERE WE ARE PUBLISHING
THESE REMARKS, TO
REMIND OUR READERS OF HIS
"PROPHETIC" VISION. FRANZ)
According to the story told, of all the planetary "We", Winston Smith is the only "I" left, and the story is about the destruction of this last historic ray in the Patria, in the "fatherland"; of course, by the way, true to our Invisible, Invincible Principle, We have no intention to end up like Winston!
As exposed in his book, now we will illustrate some of Orwell's "prophecies", more accurate than those of the Oracle of Delphi, or of any "Horoscope":
"War is Peace", "Freedom is Slavery", "Ignorance is Strength".
In the story, Winston writes:
"To the future or to the past, to a time, when thought is free, when men are different from one another, and do not live alone - to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone" (p.26).
He writes this in protest against the declaration of Big Brother, that thinking, thought, theory and philosophy are capital crimes; especially in a world of action, of cement, of concrete, of activism, where theory and philosophy have been sent to the asylum.
Winston had been taught, been mind-controlled, that:
"Thoughtcrime does not entail death, thoughtcrime
IS death."
In the context of our discussions, concerning CNN-News, Illuminazi News, already from Orwell, we learn the following:
"The Party said, that Oceania had never been in alliance with Eurasia. He, Winston Smith, knew, that Oceania had been in alliance with Eurasia as short a time as four years ago. But where did that knowledge exist?" (p.34).
For sure, it disappeared from all data bases, and "new knowledge" is being fabricated - this will be changed again tomorrow, depending on the global and "globalized" interests of Big Brother, who teaches:
"Who controls the past, controls the future; who controls the present, controls the past."
It is obvious, that Big Brother controls reality, in mind, thought, body and soul, produces "Virtual Reality", ideology; in the language "Newspeak", it is called "doublethink". Concerning thinking and language, Winston is being informed:
"We're getting the language into its final shape - the shape it's going to have when nobody speaks anything else. When we've finished with it, people like you will have to learn it all over again. ... We're destroying words - scores of them, hundreds of them, every day" (p.45).
Well, gentle(wo)men, we may just as well begin to construct, learn and think our own "We-Language", which will remain an important tool of thought. Newspeak, sorry, Newsweek, already has traces of the "new" virtually real language. In the German daily "Bild", Orwell is already obsolete:
"It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words (in other words, of thinking), of course, the wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but there are hundreds of nouns that can be got rid of, as well" (p.45).
Now, if you take a "verb" out of a sentence, obviously you can only express "peace", standstill, rest, status quo. Everything you say is then positive, justification, affirmation and defence of the system. Unfortunately our "chats" on Internet also are progressively being reduced to verbless phrases and letter symbols. Precise thoughts and sentences are "obsolete".
Winston has to learn:
"Do you know, that Newspeak is the only language in the world, whose vocabulary gets smaller every year?" (p.46).
Now, let's study American English or English American, and tell the world, what we notice with reference to the above. For example, listen to the amount of words, that the typical American uses daily, what he says and how he expresses himself: yeah man, you s.o.a.b., f... you, m.-f., etc.... The Venezuelan versions are: no joda chamo, chevere, cono, etc. I guess you all could add more phrases to this vulgar thought-controlled jargon.
Then the Party member unveils the essence of Mind Control, of Thought Control, of Ideology, of Newspeak:
"Don't you see, that the whole aim of newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end, we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words, in which to express it." (p.46).
Well, well, our poor "New Socialists", "Neo-Liberals", how the devil are they going to conscientize the working class, which only "newspeak", and which is free of all forms of thought-crime, that is, of Revolutionary Marxist Theory? The fact of the matter is, that by means of socialization and ideological processes, Newspeak is already reproducing itself in a fertile manner in the "minds" of the billions of working masses. Our friends in the United States and Canada have given excellent examples of how the North American public rambles Newspeak through their mouths.
Concerning the so called bourgeois-democratic revolution, in the field of language, Winston is told:
"The Revolution (sic!) will be complete, when the language is perfect. ... By the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive, who could understand such a conversation as we (Khalid, Carl, Jeff, Jutta, Bill and Franz) are having now." (p.47).
Winston immediately wants to mention an exception, that the proletariat will still understand us, but the Party member suspects his train of thought and instantly says:
"The proles are not human beings." (p. 47)
So we see, the rulers have never considered the poor or the workers as human beings; all they considered human along "history" were only themselves. Aristotle considered them to be "speaking-tools"; Big Brother considers them here to be "newspeak-tools".
Concerning government propaganda in general, and what politicians remark in the mass media in particular, which reminds me of Burnham's "Cooperative Socialism", fabulous statistics are being officially published:
"There was more food, more clothes, more houses, more furniture, ... everybody and everything was whizzing rapidly upwards." (p.52).
Still being a true "New Socialist", a "Reformer", a "Marxist", a humanitarian, one who wants to change the system from within, Winston writes:
"If there is hope, it lies in the proles" (S.60).
How Big Brother, how Globalization, how Post-Industrial Society, has completed the process of controlling the proles, Winston himself gets a taste of it:
"We shall crush you down to
the point, from which there is no coming back. ... Never again will you
be capable of ordinary human feeling. Everything will be dead inside you.
Never again will you be capable
of love, or friendship, or joy of living, or laughter, or curiosity, or
courage, or integrity. You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty,
and then we shall fill you with ourselves." (p.211).
Exactly, these are the body, mind and thought controlled billions of Zombies, of whom we spoke in previous chats and discussions, Then O'Brien, the Party member, explains the "world of fear and treachery", of Capitalism of the 21st Century to Winston:
"A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but MORE merciless, as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress towards more pain. ... In our world, there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy." (p.220).
This is an excellent description of today's life on a world scale.
And when Winston claims to be a "man", a human being, O'Brien corrects
him:
"If you are a man, Winston, you are the last man. Your kind is extinct - we are the inheritors. Do you understand, that you are ALONE? You are outside history, you are non-existent." (p.222).
By the way, O'Brien is partially right: We are outside "history", outside the "Patria", and he partially errs, because existence is not exclusively limited to the "Patria" (what O'Brien calls "history"), but extends far beyond it, into real history. Thus, WE are NOT non-existent; the non-relation, non-existence is the very type of "human existence" in the Patria itself. Anything or anyone ONLY PATRIAN, and who cannot imagine anything else, who only sees change within the system, within the Patria, has condemned themselves to Labour, to Alienation, to Non-Existence per se. But, this is another story, another discussion!
Nevertheless it's important to note, that even Big Brother places US, the "Winstons", extensively, externally, outside the fatherland; the only problem is, that the "best of us", cannot imagine something as rational as this, that WE cannot yet understand, that we can only exist elsewhere, not here. Here we are, we are essences, beings, human beings, but we do not exist, we are not "human existences". Strange enough, what the Illuminati knows, what he says, what he states expressis verbis, we do not want to accept, do not want to accept the consequences of knowing the flowing, changing truth. Mind and Thought Control is a marvelous, effective thing! We do not want to accept the fact that we are de facto outcasts, out-casts, cast out of ruling history, are pariahs!
In total capitulation, finally Winston asks:
"Tell me, how soon will they shoot me?"
Cynically, O'Brien answers:
"...Don't give up hope, ... in the end, we
shall shoot you."
(p.226).
This is the essence of patrian "Hope"; in the end, at the end of Hope, "we shall shoot you."
Then, Orwell explains the crucial moment in Winstons life:
"Everything was all right.
The struggle was finished. He (Winston) had won the victory over himself.
He loved Big Brother.
THE END. "
Instantly, the bullet whizzes through the air and penetrates Winston's BRAIN.
Dear Friends, all this is not just "wishful thinking", "utopian dreaming" or "science fiction" writing, sad to say, this is Science Writing, Science a n d Philosophy Writing; we are not on our way to the "Promised Land", to World Fascism or to Neo-Barbarism, we are already in the epicenter of the American Dream of Globalization.We are standing at our very own tombs, at 1984.
We are living on the Eve of the Orwellian Present! In Big Brother's
Present Millennium! Nobody needs to dream anymore about any "Orwellian
Future"! For that matter, about any Future at all! Big Brother, the
Illuminati, the Rulers, the World State, the New World Order, All-In-One,
"controls
the past, controls the future; (and) who controls the present, controls
the past."
And Mind and Thought Control are essential
parts of this Total Control, Totalitarian Control.
What Is To be Done? First understand what
we have just exposed, and only then, we could talk further, could do
a n d think AND excel, of, by and for ourselves, here
a n d now! This is a conditio sine qua non for any further
deliberations.
At present we are already living in
"a world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon ... Never again will we be capable of love, or friendship, or joy of living, or laughter, or curiosity, or courage, or integrity. ".
In many things, Marx might have been proven wrong, but in one thing, he certainly hit the nail on the head: he himself had predicted today's Barbarism.
