"The best books, he perceived, are those that [can be misinterpreted to] tell you what you know already." - 1984, George Orwell [slightly amended by the blog author]by Owen Martin
Fake News is something that appears true on the surface but upon closer examination is evidently false.
Animal Farm was about the Russian Revolution in 1917 and the period of Communism that followed. All Communists oppose Trump.
Both 1984 and Brave New World were about the dangers of the Big State. In 1984, it was called Big Brother, in Brave New World it was called World State. Trump's policies are to cut taxes, reduce government regulations and freeze Federal hiring. The exact polar opposite of what a Big State would do.
All communist countries suffer from over-regulation and central planning.
A World State is what climate hustlers have being demanding for years now. Trump is a climate skeptic and wants nothing to do with a World State.
This proves that there is a distinct lack of intellectual capacity at the mainstream news organisations. New readers of these books will inadvertently be reading about the dangers of the Big State, not Trump. The Big State that most of these news organisations and the Left support.
But what about the Newspeak that comes from the Trump administration ? Orwell makes it clear that the purpose of Newspeak is to restrict thought and ideas. In 2017, Newspeak could only resemble the Left's constant use of Political Correctness as a tool to suppress speech and ideas.
Scott Adams uses the idea of the Persuasion Filter to explain how people can see two different movies when presented with the same set of facts. If people are watching a movie where Trump is Hitler and therefore the end of the world is nigh, then all dystopian novels (and most definitely the famous ones) must apply to Trump. However, this means living in an inverted world where a book about Communism and the Big State can apply to a free market Capitalist who you happen to dislike.
Persuasion by Inversion.
The exact nature of this leftist green elite new world order is difficult to pin down and label. If forced to guess, I would say that the political/military balance of the world is not passive, but highly competitive. Weakness always looses. The elitist are wealthy beyond comprehension and they are followed by a mass of want to be elitists. Big state, no borders, suppression of individualism and any excuse to override the choice of government by the people. Whatever one might say about Trump he was elected under the constitution and the Elitist are doing everything they can to get rid on him. That means they are prepared to face down the constitution and democratic will of the American people. It is something about which we all should be very worried.
