QUESTION:\u00a0\u00a0Are you more worried about a 1984 esque future or A Brave New World esque future?<\/p>\n

\"Orwell_George\"ANSWER:\u00a0Unfortunately, the two go hand in hand. George Orwell simply took the past and laid out what government ALWAYS gravitates toward \u2013 total control. We live in a delusion with our brains filled with propaganda.\u00a0Over the years, I have encountered comments from people who ask, \u201cWhy would anyone want to live outside the USA? We are the greatest nation on earth!\u201d I typically reply, \u201cHave you ever traveled outside the country?\u201d The response is telling: \u201cNo. What\u2019s the point?\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps I am the doubting Thomas. I went through Checkpoint Charlie into East Germany before the wall fell because I really wanted to see what was true and what was false. You cannot just accept the indoctrination of society as it is systemic.<\/p>\n

So what George Orwell wrote was not pure fiction; no more than \u201cStar Wars\u201d being based on nothing. \u201cStar Wars\u201d is the epic battle between the Republic and Imperialism that dominated the Roman period going into the 1st century AD. They just changed it to planets and updated the swords to light sabers. In the case of Orwell, he took history and postulated what would happen in a modern context. He was only off in terms of technology advancement.<\/p>\n

\"PASSPORT<\/a>So the bottom line is both will unfold. However, you cannot reach the second without causing pain with the first. With the NSA and socialism, you have seen terrorism used as the excuse to further the control of society so we cannot buy or sell anything ultimately without government approval. l.<\/p>\n
