1984. Part-One.

Police State.

Today there are many countries around the world who maintain almost total control over their people, they whatch and set up to try and test loyaltity to the state. These nations acts or have some element of George Orwells ‘1984’ in their political system.

We are told about China and North-Korea and their closed systems, yet Saudia Arabia, Algeria, Iran and now the Ukraine are being run by gangster elements dressed up in religious garb or wearing democratic suits.

The bible tells us about great empires and kingdoms such a Babylon and men who though they wer gods, but in the end before the One and Only God they came to nothing and so it has in our own human history.

Jeremiah 27:8-9, Luke 13:31-32.

Ideology.

Ideology, the ideas of men.

When we look at the world today we are drawn to think of the many closed lands and societies, that do not have or want to have our concepts and what we describe as freedoms.

These nations seem to be closed and controlled, such as North-Korea, China, Cuba and yet there are many lands near and far who practice similar conditions, such as Saudi-Arabia, Iran, Algeria, Sudan, Belarus and the list could go on and on.

Many follow the ideology of men and the party or a system or a king, religion or great leader. Some keep to the ethical code of their revolution. But what does mark them out is all who oppose must be imprisoned for a long time or killed.

It is valuable to read books in relation to Ray Bradbury and Farenheight 451 and George Orwells 1984, with the various films. Both these men were writing about conditions in 1938-1948. They were trying to warn us that any society can turn from what it is now into an idelogical dictatorship.
