“Warnings of Novel 1984 but Now as Soft-Totalitarianism!” by Tonja Condray Klein – 10/12/2020
There was a time in my life when I thought I’d never experience again the fear I felt from what’s written as a warning in the classic novel 1984 that we read in school for class discussions – until 2020. Being forty-eight years old now makes me even more aware of all the changing dynamics that are making Orwell’s warnings into the BLARING SIRENS that should be apparent to anyone who will stop listening to media, social or otherwise, long enough to hear reality being yelled, burned, killed, and destroyed in our supposedly free country right in front of us!
While I know there are many different groups of people in the United States of America, whether cultural, ethnic, religious, political, socio-economical, or even medical in nature, I want each individual reading this to stop for a moment, think about what your basic needs are to survive, how you get them every day, and who provides them. This may seem a simplistic question that you can answer in less than a few seconds, but what if the first one could only be given to you by the last two. What if co-dependence suddenly made you no longer be free to live by your own beliefs?
My father and mother were alive during World War II. No one had to teach them about the history of those times since they both lived them. If my father was still alive and you told him the Jewish Holocaust didn’t happen, he’d tell you that you’re a liar. My mother is still alive, and she’d tell you the same thing with a look of anger for treating her like she didn’t know reality. My sister hadn’t been born yet, but she was taught documented history and would tell you the same. I’m twenty-two years younger than her, but I was also taught documented history and would tell you too.
One problem that I’m seeing in 2020 is that the generation after mine DOESN’T know. In fact, I doubt they know much of ANY of the FACTS of documented history unless specific data has been twisted to fit in one or more of political, ideological, or monetary purposes they support. Every school teacher should be screaming out in protest that they’re being forced to NOT teach those in their educational care the documented facts that no longer matter to the ones who have now assumed educational control in the United States. This is a hijacking of our youth and brainwashing!
No, I’m not a conspiracy theorist. No, I’m not a hater of education. No, I’m not an ignorant woman that doesn’t know the reasons for all of this. Once again I will state why I have the right to write what I want: I graduated with a 4.3 GPA and had almost a full scholarship to take Computer Science as my Major and Teaching as my Minor. Again, due to illness I had to withdraw from class, but I later got my Webpage Development Certificate from Edison State Community College in 1999. I’ve always been for learning all the skills you can. I simply wouldn’t at college now.
I learned computer basic programming, Century 21 accounting, and office typing in high school. I’m a learner. I may not have the degrees so many companies demand, but I guarantee I could outwork, outthink, and outdo any of those coming out of college with tons of degrees now that MEAN NOTHING. I’m sad to have to type that, but it’s truer now in 2020 than at any other time in the USA. There is a reason why Mike Rowe has started his scholarships for regular jobs so people can still learn REAL skills humanity needs. It’s too bad most corporations have forgotten that.
I read. I study. I write. I watch. I may have Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis in remission, but there is no brain damage to my thinking or creating faculties. When I take the time to write something like this, it means I feel the absolute necessity to have my words placed where they can be read! The fact that I’m reading LIVE NOT BY LIES – A MANUAL FOR CHRISTIAN DISSIDENTS by Rod Dreher is another reason why I noted the novel 1984 by George Orwell in the title of this because it used to be the most horrid result I could imagine back then in school.
Although the scenario in 1984 scared me back in the day, and still does now, the other possibility for this country happening in 2020 is even more terrifying for me as a proponent for Constitutional Democracy. Rod Dreher has made the compelling correlation in his book that really should be read by ANYONE who loves the United States Constitution, Bill of Rights, Free Market, Privacy of Individuals, and Protection of Citizens. If we ever give up any of this for the sake of convenience or promised security then we will need to change our greeting to, “Welcome to China-merica.”
If we EVER allow that to happen then we will deserve all of the horrible results that WILL happen. I’m praying to God Almighty through Jesus Christ with help from the Holy Spirit that I will not be here when it does happen. I don’t trust in any political group, government, technology, media, science, or organization to not cave into what has begun as what was warned against by Orwell and Dreher in their respective timeframes. If we were to ever stand up for America, NOW is the time before it’s too late in 2020. If we don’t then God have mercy on us. Militant mobs won’t.
I want more people to accept Jesus Christ as Savior in 2020 and beyond, and I’m doing the best I can to get the word out on every media type I can, but there will come a time when that will be blocked from us. As I have suggested before, go to https://www.tribulationhelp.com and save the pages to print off for you to have when the site is no longer accessible for whatever reason it may be. This isn’t meant to scare you but to prepare you. Knowledge is power, and if taken from you, then you need to get ready for a fight against hard OR soft totalitarianism while you still can.
