1984 Now. Part-One.

Controlled Media.

This week has seen the great hype about security in Sinai Egypt, after the unknown tragic loss of a Russian airliner last Saturday with 224 people on board. The British government and some European nations have joined in claiming that it was a bomb and the terminology of evacuation is being used for todays returned charter flights.

Yesterday London and many other cities saw the Million Masked March, were police resources by magic were deployed to control the situation (Rioting). Yet there are not enough police to deal with everyday crime from burgalry to muggings.

The Media is reporting untruths, nearly about everything just as George Orwell said in his 1984 novel and there are many other writers such as Phillip K. Dick and Ray Bradbury who warn that a state can quicly turn from free to Tolitarian in the blink of a unsuspecting eye.

The bible tells us that in the last days it will be very hard for believers to share and live their faith!

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.

Genesis Chapter 11,  Exodus 1 :8-22,   Daniel 4:30-32.
