News headlines and TV images in our present time seem to confirm George Orwell as some kind of uncanny prophet of human behavior.

By Barry Casselman



My generation in the English-speaking world, and those in subsequent generations, read his books as  much-touted classics until soon past their "due" date when the Soviet Union and its Marxist system collapsed --- and many of us believed that the dangers it prophesied was past.



It turns out that our optimistic relief was premature, and while international totalitarian states, Marxist and otherwise, continue to arise and fail, new forms of 1984 and Animal Farm have arisen domestically from within as well as outside today's democratic societies.



It was, of course, nothing of the sort, but by reversing the date of 1948 (when it was written) to 1984, the author gave his novel a futuristic flavor. In it, Orwell introduced some new terms such as "doublespeak," "Big Brother," "newspeak," and "thought police" which have now become part of the language we routinely use today.



These new forms have overtaken many, if not most, U.S. college campuses where large numbers in the academic faculties, particularly in the liberal arts departments, are teaching and imposing neo-Marxist totalitarian ideas and myths on a whole generation of college students. Hiding behind the epithets of "racism," "anti-feminism," "economic exploitation" and 'imperialism," these efforts are effectively choking out genuine free speech, honest scholarship, and an open discussion of ideas by employing the bullying tools of political correctness.



The essential technique these academic and radical forces employ is, in fact, very much in the tradition of Orwell's 1984 in which propaganda is insinuated and then imposed as a pure opposite of what it objectively is --- the doublespeak that "black" is "white," "right" is "wrong" and so on.



In today's doublespeak versions, those accusing others of "racism" are often the real racists, those alleging "anti-semitism" are often the real anti-semites, and those asserting their free speech is being curtailed are usually the ones who want block open discourse.

Chinese bitcoin miners will be using American electricty.



he Chinese regime's attempt to shut down all things bitcoin, from mining to trading, has left some of the biggest names in crypto with no option but to relocate elsewhere. Feng discusses Kevin Pan, the CEO of Poolin, a Chinese cryptocurrency mining company and one of the biggest crypto-related companies in the world. Shortly after Beijing announced the crackdown back in May, Pan booked a ticket to the United States.



Pan and his team have no intention of ever returning to China. "We'll never come back again."

It absolutely was ... maybe "prediction" is fairer description as it was not followed  deliberately .. rather was echoed



George Orwell simply knew and stated what could happen to our societies  .. long ago

I've seen Halifax get the after effects of hurricanes, but not St John's.

I haven't been paying attention to current events much lately because it's mostly about our federal election..



I didn't know about hurricane Larry.
