\nHOW DID THEY KNOW?<\/strong><\/em><\/span>                    June 21, 2013<\/p>\n

Aldous Huxley, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Brave New World\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (1931); Ayn Rand, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Anthem\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (1937); George Orwell, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Animal Farm\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (1945) & the novel \u00e2\u20ac\u01531984\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (written in 1949)\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6for examples.
\nOne reason might be they were not subjected to Political Correctness but were indeed predicting it in various forms due to their individual abilities to logically project future outcomes from past and present societal trends.<\/p>\n

In \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Brave New World\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Huxley foresaw an American tyrannical society complete with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153official\u00e2\u20ac\u009d recreational sex along with the total breakdown of the family unit, complete with hatcheries for test tube babies (pre-cradle to grave government control) who are preselected for certain occupations\/positions in life\u00e2\u20ac\u201dfrom elites to dishwashers by nameless bureaucrats.<\/p>\n

Just as Melissa Harris-Perry, a professor at Tulane, proudly announced on TV recently that your child is not yours, it belongs to the community, in essence \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Everyone belongs to everyone else\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6exactly as Huxley described the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Brave New World\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.  The professor publicly espouses belief in the same values and techniques of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Brave New World\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t forget Hillary Clinton\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It Takes A Village\u00e2\u20ac\u009d!<\/p>\n

Also in the novel, everyone is addicted to free \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Soma\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (mood elevator), the purpose of which is of course to keep independent thinking and questioning suppressed.  No one is allowed out of their predetermined perimeters\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6adios individuality.  Sound familiar?<\/p>\n

In \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Anthem\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Rand foresaw the death of individualism, sacrificed to the Collective (selflessness=virtue, give back to community, make a difference in today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s jargon). She projected a world where excellence was considered unfair (affirmative action, set-asides, quotas?) and brilliance was punished\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6too much brilliant independent thinking could get one burned at the stake\/a new \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dark Ages\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

Certain words were banished such as the words \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u009d & \u00e2\u20ac\u0153self\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (anything indicating the individual)\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6replaced by \u00e2\u20ac\u0153we\u00e2\u20ac\u009d & \u00e2\u20ac\u0153ourselves\u00e2\u20ac\u009d celebrating the Collective.  In this selfless, joyless existence no family units are allowed and everyone assigned occupations regardless of abilities, ambitions or desires by faceless, nameless members of various ministries (bureaucracies, e.g. Dept. of Health & Human Services, Human Resources).  Equality meant one size fits all. (Public schools, NCLB, Goals 2000, now Common<Communist> Core, etc.)<\/p>\n

In Anthem eople were assigned numbers instead of names which further destroys individuality. The hero has a brilliant mind but is assigned to street sweeping. He accidentally stumbles upon remnants from a past industrialized world and he begins to mentally put the pieces together regarding the age-old war of the individual versus the collective (Aristotle vs. Plato; Individualism vs. Communism). Sound familiar?  Due to his rediscovery of the concept of self he manages to escape the confines of the captive dark city into the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153wilderness\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and learns to survive in freedom and reestablishes rational self-interest and the beginning of a new \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Enlightenment\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

Orwell foresaw the future with an analogy to an Animal Farm where the inhabitants take over control of the farm in order to make sure everything is equally fair to every resident\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6the only problem was that it logically led to some Animals being \u00e2\u20ac\u0153more equal than others\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.  Sound familiar?<\/p>\n

In \u00e2\u20ac\u01531984\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Orwell then predicted a total surveillance society (NSA recording phone & emails of millions; IRS targeting patriot groups; TSA searching innocent plane passengers; ATF walking guns to criminals; FBI & CIA intrusive programs; 30,000 Drones spying on U.S. residents) with Big Brother watching every move everyone makes.  (Sounds very familiar doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t it?)<\/p>\n

The bureaucracies were called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153ministries\u00e2\u20ac\u009d which monitored & controlled all aspects of life, e.g. the Ministry of Truth whose job it was to rewrite history, change word definitions and even ban certain words to fit the Collective philosophy.   (Political Correctness)  (Examples: crippled=physically impaired, postman=post person, Negro=African American, stewardess=flight attendant, waitress=server, retarded=mentally challenged, fireman=fire fighter, personnel=human resources, fat=obese, retarded=special needs, lie=mispoke)<\/p>\n

The masses were required to attend propaganda presentations which depicted their deadly enemies and invoked rage and jingoism so they would continue to approve the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153eternal war for eternal peace\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. (False Flag incidents involving death and\/or destruction; War on Terror; attacks on sovereign countries built on lies; our government supplying rebels to give excuse to overthrowing regimes)   Sound familiar?<\/p>\n

A few past quotes illustrate elite\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s view of war & troops: Henry Kissinger\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Military men are just dumb animals, stupid animals\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.  G. W. Bush\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t feel sorry for them, they volunteered\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.  <\/p>\n

Then there was Secretary of State Madeline Albright on “60 Minutes” on May 12, 1996: <\/p>\n

Stahl: “We have heard that a half a million children have died<\/strong> [because of sanctions against Iraq]. I mean that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And–you know, is the price worth it?”
\nAlbright: “I think this is a very hard choice, but the price–we think the price is worth it.” <\/strong><\/p>\n

Whatever happened to the Enlightenment?  Yes, the Enlightenment\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6the ability to reason, to logically make connections to foresee results, putting aside normal human compassion for a moment, what would one think would happen if a foreign country suddenly started shooting missiles into your town, killing and destroying your friends, families, homes?  Would you say, gee thanks?  <\/p>\n

Yet we have leaders, pundits, the media, etc. constantly propagandizing the public into believing the U.S. must \u00e2\u20ac\u0153make the world safe for democracy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6..by blowing up entire areas??? Not only unrealistic but insane.  Not only that, but to think people will not react, will not try to fight back, not to expect \u00e2\u20ac\u0153blowback\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is further insanity.   Consider the self-righteous warmongers who eagerly place our military in harm\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s way and callously use them as cannon fodder while spouting \u00e2\u20ac\u0153patriotism\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to fire up the low information masses.<\/p>\n

So here we are, entering the culmination of what Huxley, Rand, & Orwell foresaw and predicted.  A Collectivist world in which the individual is sacrificed to the group, where corruption, betrayal, brutality reign and life is becoming joyless, grim, and in constant fear.  <\/p>\n
