Have you seen and heard enough yet? I certainly have. I never thought that we would witness big tech silencing free speech or de-listing books whose subject they disagree with. A “woke” administration and Congress that appear more intent on advancing socialism and rewarding their friends than helping to make life better for the citizens of this country. Steel fencing topped with razor wire and 10,000 fully armed troops surrounding our Capitol?
We were alerted to this years ago, when we read (or should have read) George Orwell’s “1984” and Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451.” “1984” discusses the effects of socialism, mass surveillance and political abuse (think Big Brother and thought police). “Fahrenheit 451” tells an allegory of banned books and the repurposing of firefighters to burn them (451 is the temperature at which book paper ignites, the author said).
Also, take time to watch the 1997 movie “Wag the Dog,” the story of an administration that creates a fictitious war to distract from a scandal that would be damaging to those in power.
These books and movie were quite prescient.
