I hadn’t read the book ‘1984’ by George Orwell for some reason, but after finishing book FARENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury I decided to read the other. Book ‘451’ bothered me with what happened in it, but it was trying to get the readers to see they had to keep it from happening in reality. Book ‘1984’ ALARMED me. I’m seeing things being done NOW that reminds me what had been done even before my time. Some things had been removed from daily interactions that I hadn’t realized until the pandemic happened. Reality has startled me to the point that I’m praying for the Rapture (removing) of Christian believers to happen MUCH SOONER. Some governments have done what’s in book ‘1984’ – rewriting ALL former history every time it went against leader’s ideals. It might have or be happening in America too.
Does anyone else understand that if real history keeps being rewritten until the oldest that lived through that time are gone then that would give leaders the ability to have people live a perpetual today from now on? By them not knowing what real past was before it was altered, it would also mean that the present would be a continual past without real futures. I shook my head as I read about the main character going over the events in his ‘Oceania’ that included America in novel, and it gripped my heart with the growing understanding that the real America is about one step away from that happening! News only lasts per cycle, and sometimes one side is told over and over again without a counter side to denounce it. When did we get to this point of one-party rule? The McCarthy era is the closest I remember noted, but we might be close again.
Book ‘1984’ was written in 1949, way before I was born in 1972, but the 1984 in my lifetime didn’t seem to be anything like the book spoke about since I lived through the Reagan era that seemed prosperous to me then and even still. I didn’t know I was actually poor. Both of my parents were old and on social security, so getting reduced or free lunches simply meant to me that we were not ‘well-to-do’. My father always worked until he retired and my mother worked then was a housewife who also babysat other local kids. I actually thought we were ‘middle class’, but we were NOT! I never lacked food, clothing, or toys, but we didn’t have cable or a car. Neither parent had a driver’s license, but I didn’t think it was odd. My older out of state sister and older local brother had cars and helped, but we usually travelled by bus or cab.
Book ‘1984’ made me realize what is happening in America by those trying to make the poorest and middle class no longer be able to afford basic transportation since it would place them under direct control of government like the one in the book did! Trying to outlaw affordable cars, cooking conveniences, and other every day items that make life normal to those they consider UNDER them politically or socially is a slap in the face to regular Americans. Those ‘rulers’ might not see me as being ‘as good as’ them, but I know I AM as good or better than most of them since I KNOW many things these ‘rulers’ are trying to STEAL from the HISTORY of our COUNTRY and the WORLD! Changing meanings of real words and deleting some completely like in the book made me livid since THAT has already started in America now!
When a politician uses ‘totalitarianism’ as a definition for those who support the United States of America and its Constitutional Democratic Republic with the rights afforded to ALL citizens then that politician is using the SAME tactic that the three leaders in book ‘1984’ did to keep the poor as manageable as possible and by not letting them succeed to go beyond the status the higher group decided by continuing an ongoing war to keep those a little bit higher in their hierarchy to accept the revised history of the ‘leaders’ to make them remain in the present by revising the past to not show how bad things HAD changed then got worse under them – to STOP people from seeing REALITY. Those who were in the middle class in America before are now the lower middle class and forced lower. ‘Management’ is now some ‘leaders’ plan.
So America citizens now actually WANT to become like book ‘1984’ in 2023? Yes, that book IS fiction, but it is based on actual known governments and ALSO meant as a CAUTIONARY WARNING to those who want to keep their own freedoms and those of others. America used to be the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave where we cared about each other as citizens. The way many politicians seem now in 2023is making me see shades of book ‘1984’ more every day! No, some things that happened in the book haven’t yet, BUT it seems like some ‘leaders’ are taking THEIR power almost to the point those in book ‘1984’ did. THAT IS FRIGHTENING. Yes, I want a strong leader, but NOT a collective solipsist! We all NEED TO UNDERSTAND what those in power don’t want us to even notice right now.
One of the main things about the ‘leaders’ in book ‘1984’ was that they wanted people to NOT be educated. The ‘Proles’ or lower class people couldn’t be given that choice since if people could read and remember their real history of countries, then they might want more than the flimsy existence given by those in power that don’t want anyone to rise up above a born station in life. WAKE UP PEOPLE! America is NOT supposed to be ruled by a caste system! We are to be FREE with the given rights to LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! Reading is PURE FREEDOM! Learning Mathematics, Science, and Proven History is FREEDOM! The ONLY books NOT to be allowed should be for children that have ADULT situations those innocents should not know yet! Other than that… READ, READ, READ!!!
The new digital system they are trying to institute for America is just ANOTHER way to TRACK you and STOP your FREEDOM to spend YOUR MONEY for what YOU deem as being YOURS. In book ‘1984’, the ‘leaders’ of those three governments only allowed some things for certain people who were then forced to get stuff off of a black market. A THOUGHT CRIME was an issue that could lead to a person being ‘vaporized’ (killed) if someone was suspected of NOT thinking like everyone else. I don’t want ANYONE thinking they could control MY THOUGHTS. They would soon find I’d NEVER be a pawn for lies or history-changing. I know OUR country’s History and FACTS no matter what could be said is the exact opposite of an ACTUAL MEANING. You can outlaw a majority of words, but MANY would KNOW!
Some in power want to decrease your intelligence to control you. DON’T LET THEM! READ as much as you can on books explaining the evils of Totalitarian rule. IT IS NOT what America has or wants now. Every belief system needs to have FREEDOM for followers to worship their gods whether Buddhist, Muslim, Chi, Gandhi, Hare Krishna, Wiccan, Jew, or Christian as protected by the United States of America Constitution. I’m a Christian and speak of my Faith without discounting someone else’s rights. We can agree to disagree and not try to kill each other. Even though I believe Jesus Christ is the only Way to Heaven and Salvation, I will share with respect and pray for anyone. THAT is inclusivity in America! People of various beliefs found this place of worship freedom. It needs to REMAIN that way!
This Opinion Editorial is meant to WARN you as an American citizen. Things and Freedoms are being taken from us almost daily, and those in power are trying to take away things that make our lives be bearable and enjoyable without a real reason for their tampering… it is actual TYRANNY! As I’ve written what seems ten million times, my FATHER fought and BLED for THIS COUNTRY in WORLD WAR II, and his brother, MY UNCLE DIED for this country too. Taking away MY FREEDOM is NOT an option. Many of the American Churches are being seen as real terrorist threats! THAT IS INSANE! AMERICANS have a RIGHT to their RELIGION that NO OFFICIAL can stop regular practices of as long as they are not physically hurting or personally maligning an actual individual person!
The story in the book ‘1984’ is something NO ONE should want to happen to the greatest bastion of Democracy in the world that the United States of America has been ever since the founding. Did we make mistakes for years that we aren’t proud of and have tried to rectify? YES! Do we try to learn from that and do better going forward? Many of us are trying, but there are always those that do bad things to keep power at the ruination of others. We have to FIGHT that by voting faithfully, protesting legally, and helping each community to be as good as they can become no matter their color, race, ethnicity, background, religion, or political party. WE THE PEOPLE are NOT as divided as some keep telling you. China might be preparing for WAR against Taiwan and Russia is still against Ukraine. WAR was used like this in book.
You don’t have to have a Political Science degree to see what is going on if you read enough, watch all you can, and listen to the undercurrent words being used that are not meaning what they always have meant before. They are just changing the meaning of words, terms, and even historical records! This is what was done in book ‘1984’ to solely keep people under the ‘rulers’ from knowing REALITY! Some ‘leaders’ are trying to do that now in America. It might seem like some ‘groups’ are doing things for ‘freedom’s’ sake, but they actually are re-classifying things that many know are NOT what is REAL or the consequences of WHAT they are doing. I don’t want to lose what I have already to allow the endless wars that some keep escalating, but then again whether China or Russia, NUCLEAR WAR is NOT an Option!
Could a bomb landing on the USA be what explains why millions to billions of people disappear all of a sudden? It could maybe be used to explain the actual Christian Rapture that could happen as soon as the last person to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and the last Israeli meant to return to Jerusalem first happens, and both of those could happen at any time. With the countries aligning like they are on 04/19/2023, I don’t know if we are going to be here for much longer. I don’t want anyone to suffer, but things are going to get really destructive, and I want everyone to know Jesus Christ before you miss your chance. He died FOR YOU. He knows YOU. He wants YOU to KNOW HIM. I don’t know how much time we do have, but please don’t waste time. I don’t know what we’ll have to go through before we are supernaturally rescued.
Like I mentioned before, the digital currency is NOT something we want, but it is another step towards what the anti-Christ leader will use to enslave everyone because he will claim to be ‘god’ and the one of humanity’s origins. THIS IS A LIE, SO DO NOT TAKE THE CURRENCY THAT PROCLAIMS YOU ACCEPT HIM. I can only hope Christians and Messianic-Jews are removed before the jailing, flogging, torture, and executions begin in all but one or two countries. America might not even be here by then IF a bomb is lobbed on us, but if America is and believers in Christ are gone, then Israel will have no support against what is going to happen against them according to Isaiah and other prophetic writings. Americans must try to halt the descent into Marxism then Totalitarianism. Democracy will die if we let it.
If you understand what’s going on and want to possibly escape some of this mess before things go down a path to destructive judgements on humanity, then read Romans 8, Psalm 51, and Isaiah 53. Once believing then pray, “Heavenly Father of Creation, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe He is Your Only Son Who came in human flesh to give His life in my place for my sins that is in my blood at birth then rose again from the dead for my soul restoration then returned to Heaven to pray over me until He returns to take me to safety before judgment falls on Earth. Forgive me, help me to be what You saw I could become, and give me strength to serve You. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!” If you prayed this and meant it in your heart then YOU ARE NOW SAVE BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH! Welcome…
If you don’t have a Cristian Holy Bible, you can go to https://www.blueletterbible.org/ and read Isaiah, Jeremiah, Acts, I Corinthians, Ephesians, and Revelation to begin. I suggest the King James Version, but a new NIV is really good too with translations that stay true. You can also check out my Faith website if you read this somewhere else where I post to read other things I’ve written at: https://www.tribulationhelp.com. May Jesus Christ bless you, keep you safe, and help you to reach as many as you can in the time we have left in these last days before the Grace Dispensation or Church Age comes to a close as was prophesied thousands of years ago. Christians should reach out with Love, Understanding, Truth, and Compassion to each person He places in your path to be His Ambassador. Blessings Wished! ~TK~
