To Orwell Today,
re: previous London bomb discussion

Hi Jackie,

One of the most obvious facts that no one seems to question is: Why were all these national events all co-ordinated within the same week? Was this not foolish, when there are 52 weeks in a year and the herding of great masses of the public around the capital and large cities all within days is rather foolish planning to say the least. Especially within a CLIMATE OF FEAR, or that stupid phrase such as the politicians use non stop, their "a war on terror". Just as if someone was asking for trouble and was kinda teasing the terrorists to act with a platform already well prepared.

Sad to say we are well down that road that ORWELL predicted in 1984 and now with a second incident today in London it seems that the scenario is rolling ahead nonstop with calls for more police powers and with an opposition that is also under the control of BIG BROTHER.

All the very best,
Ray Wills

Greetings Raymond,

Yes, Orwell's worst nightmares are being realized in our time.

Something I've noticed lately is that "1984" or Orwell's name is never mentioned in the news anymore. The powers-that-be don't want to draw any attention to Orwell or what he had to say. And because they own the media they can effectively throw Orwell and his warnings down the "memory hole". The next generation will not only not have read his book, they won't even know his name.

All the best,
Jackie Jura
