Over sixty years ago George Orwell wrote 1984 about an oligarchical dictatorship with total surveillance and public mind control.  The book is now considered a classic great book of the 20th century. Publics' concern as the year 1984 approached was quickly “spun” of similarities to Orwellian predictions by governments’ bureaucrats.

Orwell wrote his masterpiece in 1947 possibly drawing inspiration from exposed NAZI’s near total control of German thought.  Governments loudly denounced German methodology but enviously studied their successes. Before the title year Americans were victims of government attempts at thought control.  In the 50s there was McCarthyism persecution in the name of national defense.   In the 60s and 70s police and military spied on citizens who voiced contrary opinions.  Politicians kept hate list of journalist, scholars and citizens that rejected political correct thought.  Criminal activities exposed the agencies’ excesses but left a massive archive of personal information in the dark bowels of government, to be leaked over the years for political leverage.

(2011) Despite the investigations of the 70s American governments are now in personal data collection and targeting of citizens. The State Department is seeking data on your mother address before your birth, name of her natal doctor and nursing staff at your birth before honoring your right to travel.

The New York Police are running covert information collection on citizens including those outside New York, with no crime alleged.  Other law enforcement agencies copy down license numbers of every car parked on streets.  Police surveil the population with access to cameras affixed to buildings and street corners.  Data filed in massive computers saved for future police leverage.  Some PDs have co-opted neighborhood watch into neighbor spy groups.  Some jurisdictions have passed laws against recording police brutality and corruption.  Why doesn’t federal government do something about these constitutional violations?

Federal agents are collection personal information in friendly foreign nations on their innocent citizens. A U.S. Representative is running his own voter watch list, complete with surveillance photos, and advises other congressmen to establish their own list of those who question “correct’ thought.  The U.S. Air Force is experimenting with methods to overwhelm humans’ ability to think, fry our brains and make us a little dumber.

Can we get any dumber?  We load social media with random thoughts while government auto-tags emails, Facebook, Twitter and phone conversation for buzz word.  Key words are linked to surveillance tapes and individuals are GPS tracked.  Governments now know where you go, what you buy and whom you meet. Business and medical DBs add to government covert collections. Big brother’s eye is on you, be frightened.

You have democratic freedom, the dictators tell you so.  The Orwellian oligarchical dictatorships are here and tightening grip on your thoughts. This is real terror, State terror.
