Right Here, Right Now, In A World Orwell Penned For You And Me

Ingsoc - English Socialism - is the life people live under in George Orwell's classic tale of big brother modeled on Stalin's Russia 1984. It's a time where neighbors report each other to the authorities for supposed crimes - such a thinking for yourself, writing in a diary, or having sex with someone you shouldn't. And even children report on their parents.

It's a time where a knock on the door could be a neighbor - BUT - it could very well be the thought police, coming to make sure your thoughts are in the right place.

It's all a story right? I mean, no-one would have big brother come knocking on their door to "make sure" they are "right", would they? Not in this day and age of protected rights and what have you.

Picture this in your mind. It's late at night. Around 9:45pm. You're sitting down to watch some silly show on the TV. You hear a slight squeak of brakes from outside, but it hardly registers in your brain. Moments later you hear heavy footsteps outside your door, quickly followed by three short, sharp and heavy knocks on your door. The knocks aren't the quick KnockKnockKnock type. More the Knock. Knock. Knock. that has authority with it.

You go to the door and open it to see two men in suits standing there. They are clean shaven even at this time of night. Their hair is in place. And their suits are perfectly pressed. They are both smiling, a smile like Jack Nicholson's Joker character in Batman, which makes you uneasy. And you notice that they are not standing right in front of the door like a normal person. They are standing to the side - just like a police officer would stand to avoid any random gun shots fired through the door.

You look past them to the curb and see their car. It's black and shiny. The windows are tinted so you cannot see if anyone else is inside. And you notice a small little antenna sticking up from the center of the roof.

You look back at the men - just noticing they both have small ear pieces with a curly wire leading into their shirt collar - and ask them what they want.

In an authoritative voice - most definitely government trained - they do not answer you. Instead they say, "We're secret service. May we come in and ask you a few questions" and then proceed to just come in before you have said yes or no.

Seems like something that's no likely to happen to you, right? I mean, you've done nothing wrong. You are an upstanding citizen. You pay your taxes. And even take out your invalid neighbor's garbage. Why would secret service guys come knocking on your door?

That's exactly what Annie thought. Until the night it happened. And now Annie has an FBI file - probably for life. May not be allowed on aircraft due to being on a "no fly" list. And will probably have her communication lines tapped from now until the day she dies.

So how did she end up this way... this girl who lives at home with her mom? How did she become the target of national security concerns?

Her blog.

She wrote something bad on her blog. Something, most probably, to do with causing harm to Dubbya. A reader then reported her - in good Ingsoc style - to the authorities. And the rest, as Jesus Jones sang, is the world waking up from history.

Oh. If you want to read her sorry saga about it, you can do so here.

As she says. Let this be a word to the wise. Free speech is fine, but writing about harming another person is not.

And for the conspiracy readers: The entire story is made up by the Illuminati - or whatever you call the hidden players that control the world. It is designed to let people know what could happen to them if they say anything against the beast (against the current beast and overthrowing it). By having it read this way, it seems more real, is not a direct assault on the freedom of speech, and will have people censor themselves. Fear and control by urban legend. Those masters of the Proles are tricky.

Is her tale of woe for real all just an attention getting ploy - or part of the Prole Masters' method of control? I leave that for you to decide.

Who Are Those Masked Terrorists?

Whenever you see footage of the terrorists on the TV, they are hiding their faces behind a tea-towel or some other kind of checkered fabric. This way they can do their nasty deeds, and then take off their disguise and go back to their home in suburbia. Kind of like a superhero secret identity but not for a superhero.

Whenever you see footage of soldiers from our side - and my use of "our side" means soldiers from the country you live in - you can see their faces as clear as day. So whenever they might be off duty, the terrorists who watch the TV will be able to recognize them.

What would really help our guys is if the media blanked out, or in some way blurred, their faces when showing them on the TV. This would give our soldiers a little more protection. Just like such effects are put in place when showing certain criminal people - to protect their identity.

Then why is it that the other day Sky News showed footage of terrorists running around with RPGs and mortars, and had blanked their faces out?!?!?!?!!

Are our elite media doing everything in their power to help protect these terrorists? It would certainly seem so, to me. For by not showing their faces and blurring them out instead, they are helping them keep their identity a secret from our guys who may watch the footage. And seeing the face of a terrorist means they cannot hide well amongst the crowd - or infiltrate a position.

As aiding the enemy is grounds for treason, our media is committing treason!

Of course, for the conspiracy readers, the footage doesn't show terrorists at all. It is part of a training video made by the Dept of Defense and those with blanked out faces are, in fact, our soldiers. The faces are blanked out to hide that fact from the viewer. For if the viewer saw it, they would instantly know the footage was bogus footage.

This can make sense because the media is well known for showing whatever footage they want, as long as it looks like it matches the story being talked about.

But in this case, I don't think so. I think the media is helping the terrorists keep their identity from our guys. Which in turn puts our guys at greater risk and prolongs the conflict.

No Wonder The Rest Of The Country Thinks It's Backwards

There is a state in Australia which does not adopt daylight savings time. That state has the country's 3rd largest city and the country's 6th largest city.

It used to have daylight savings - for a year. Before the leftist Labor party came to power and abolished it. And wait until you hear the reasons the "people on the street" didn't want it...

Reason # 1: The extra hour of sunlight would fade the curtains. Yep. They somehow think that daylight savings gives them an extra hour of sunlight. And that despite the sun from the whole day, it is only this extra hour that will fade the curtains.

Reason # 2: Cows will stop milking. Despite the fact that cows come in to milk with the rising and setting of the sun, somehow our adjustment of the clocks will throw them off and they won't know when to come in anymore.

Reason # 3: Chickens will stop laying. Again, somehow the chickens know we have adjusted our clocks and stop laying. And those in cages, whose life consists of four hours of light followed by four hours of darkness, also know we have adjusted our clocks and just refuse to plop out eggs.

Pretty dopey, right?

Well some parents complained the children would be coming home in the hottest part of the day. A part of the day when the sun is more intense. And they might get sun-burn.

Never mind that the children should be instructed to wear a wide-brimmed hat to keep the sun off their face. And that a one hour difference in the part of the country that was making this complaint, makes no difference to the heat of the day, or the sun's intensity.

During the time daylight savings was in place, I met some dopes too...

One woman was always running an hour late for everything. When I asked her why she said something like this... "If I have an appointment at 1pm, I'll look at the clock and it'll say 12pm and I'll think 'it's really only 11am so I have plenty of time.'"

See that. Despite that the entire nation agrees to operate on this new time, this woman adjusts her clock and then still thinks of the time as the old time. So she runs late.

Also, she complained she couldn't get her child to sleep anymore. Because somehow the extra hour of sun kept the child up until 11pm at night. How this is possible in Australia where it is dark around 7, is anyone's guess. But it was her reason.

But perhaps the one that takes the cake was the talk-back radio caller. She loved daylight savings. Thought it was wonderful - BUT - it stressed out her cat. Her cat couldn't handle the extra hour of sun and got all funny. And that worried the caller no end and she wanted daylight savings to end because of it.

And it ended. The entire state forwent the daylight savings experiment. So now when the entire nation switches the time on their clocks, this state (Queensland - Qld) doesn't. And boy does it screw up business.

For example: By the time we start at 9am, it is 10am in the other states. In one hour's time, they begin heading off to lunch in shifts. But let's say they wait until midday. It's 11am in Qld. So after that one hour lunch when they are getting ready to come back to work, Qld people are heading off to lunch. By the time the two states can conduct business effectively again it is 2pm everywhere and 1pm in Qld. Two hours of the day has been lost at lunch. Plus one hour in the morning. Plus one hour in the afternoon. A total of four business hours lost because Qld is too backward to have daylight savings.

But it doesn't end there. The 6th largest city straddles the state boarder. So one half of the city has daylight savings and the other half doesn't. And unless you have lived through such a schamozzle, you have no idea how idiotic and crazy it is.

People live and work on one side of the boarder, school is on the other side. They are at work while it is a full hour before their child has to go to school. Or, the child has to go to school an hour earlier than where it lives. So school-bus times are totally screwed. Parents have to do the ferrying about.

Courier services and other haulage companies have a brain explosion trying to cope with driving in and out of a different time zone all day long. Conducting phone business within the city is madness.

And despite the outcry for years on end, the current leader says the state will remain without daylight savings. And, all the inconvenienced people will have to cope.

But this isn't the only backward thing this state does. It also forbids Sunday trading except on The Gold Coast - Australia's 6th largest city and tourist Mecca. It doesn't matter what a business owner and employee decide between themselves.

So all the hardware stores that would do a roaring trade on the weekend selling to the DIY crowd, lose business.

And perhaps the biggest loss of business this will create is Boxing day this year. Because in Australia, Boxing day (the day after Xmas) is when the sales begin. And people rush to buy up the bargains.

Well this year Boxing day is on a Sunday. So no-one can trade.

Last year Boxing day sales totally 500 million in the state. This year, a lot of those people are expected to head on down to The Gold Coast - a short 45 minute drive away - and do their shopping their.

Even if the same money is spent, less of it stays within the state because many of the businesses on the coast are owned by Japanese. And also, the revenue will stay in that city, and not go to Australia's 3rd largest city.

Again, the leader of the state refuses to be moved on this too. But that should come as no surprise. He is a leftist leader so what would he care about business. After all, he is the same leader whose govt takes over $300 million profit a year out of the state electricity company, leaving it with stuff all money to upgrade or do repair work, and then blames them for the abysmal condition the electricity system is in. In other words, just your typical leftist running down business as was so evident in the U.S.S.R.

Backwards and far left. A recipe for disaster. And they have the hide to put "The smart state" on their license plates.

The Car Is Drowning! The Car Is Drowning!

Unbelievable. The word doesn't quite describe the deluge we had here the other day. We had about 12 inches of rain in a day. And boy did it get floody. It also brought out the morons, in their droves.

I was on the way to see a client and got to a low level river crossing - which was underwater by nearly a yard. I saw the road was flood over, reversed, turned around and drove off. All the while some dork in a four-wheel drive was starting to inch his way into the flowing water to cross.

I get back to my end of town and loads of roads were flooded. People driving up onto median strips to avoid driving through a couple of feet of water.

On a side road I'd taken to escape the worst case of rising damp I've ever seen, the road was also flooded. A couple of drongos standing next to their car in the middle of the temporary swimming pool, trying to figure out how they were going to get their car out. You'd think that would be a hint to others that it was too deep. But no. The idiot in front of me starts to drive into it as I turn around and drive off looking for another way to get by.

Then I come across another flooded bit near a round-about. The neighbors have put their wheelie bins into the water so people won't turn the corner and drive straight into floodsville. Again the car in front of me decides to brave the murky depths - only to come to a grinding halt half way. Dead in the water. I turn and go down the next street without problem.

I shake my head in puzzlement. What on earth possesses someone to consciously and willingly drive their car into water whose depth they do not know, without even getting out and checking the depth first? What madness takes hold of their brains to do it when they can already see cars stuck in the water and can see how high up the car the water goes (hint, if the wheels and tires are under cover it is too deep to drive a normal car through)? And what mental illness infects them to endanger the lives of passengers in their care?

One idiot could see the car with its roof nearly covered over. Instead of going around the flood, he drove into it with two children in the rear seats. Of course the water took him and off he went too.

Another dickwad likewise drove into raging water with two girls in the car. He got out. The girls drowned. Seeing as he willfully drove into the water you could say he committed murder.

I don't know. It must be the rain or something. Because even when it just rains normally, the driving ability of people goes down hill. And they drive faster!!!

Maybe I live in an odd part of the world or something. But common sense says, when the road conditions deteriorate, you slow down to handle the conditions. You don't start driving at break-neck speeds. And you certainly do not drive into water where you can see other cars under water.

Blowing Yourself Up - Fun For All The Kiddies

Silence. That is what I hear from our media. There are no "how barbaric" comments coming from anyone. Their solution is to ignore it. As if not reporting it won't make it so. And will somehow make it go away.

In Palestine there are music videos running. Nothing odd about music videos on TV. But these music videos, with their catchy little melody, show a not-unattractive young teenage girl dressed in military-looking clothing. And she is singing about the wonders and joys of becoming a suicide bomber for "the cause"...

"You will not be saved, Oh Zionist, from the volcano of my country's stones, You are the target of my eyes, I will even willingly fall as a Shahid [Martyr for Allah]. You are the target of my eyes, I will even willingly fall as a Shahid. Allah Akbar, Oh the young ones."

Children trying to recruit other children to kill themselves. And the "...for the children" leftists remain silent about it all. Nothing but silence.

Or is there?

In situations like this you would be expecting Amnesty International to be jumping up and down, right? And that we've heard nothing from them could lead us to believe they are silent on it.

But it seems they are NOT silent on it. "Calling the use of children to carry out or assist in armed attacks of any kind an "abomination."" And calling on the Palestinian leadership to publicly denounce these practices and warned that "Palestinian armed groups, including Hamas, Islamic Jihad and al-Aqsa Martyrs's brigades, must put an immediate end to the use or involvement of any kind of children in armed activity."

So if Amnesty International is making noise, why aren't we hearing about it?

The conclusion that can be drawn is that OUR media doesn't want us to know the truth about the atrocities and abuses being committed by the Palestinians.

And this makes sense. Because if the media were to show these music videos et al, and let the general public know of them, then the Palestinians would lose all the support they once had. And it would be hard for the UN to justify the continued monetary support they give the Palestinians. (Though how they justify it to this day is beyond me.)

When the media showed footage of them throwing rocks against the Israeli Military all those years ago, they got a lot of sympathy. Their "weakness" was a strength.

But this suicide bombing stuff. While they might see it as a strength, it becomes their weakness. And now with these suicide bomber recruitment videos, whatever credibility they had is now gone. And now THEY are rightfully looked upon as the bad guys... as the killers of innocent children on school buses they are.

Sure the media won't come out and say it - or condemn their actions (except Bill O'Reilly who had a small segment of it on his show. And WorldNetDaily who has run several stories about it, including one where a baby chicken puppet calls for a massacre with AK-47s which you can read here). For they still try to paint them as poor defenseless people being hard done by. But the general public can see through that. And that's what matters most. How the public sees them.

Though I do find it odd that the Palestinians should call for the USA to not support Israel, financially and other, while they get tens of millions of dollars a month from the U.N.

The Palestinians release music videos trying to recruit suicide bombers from children, print school text books encouraging children to play an active part in aiding terrorists, produce TV shows where puppets call for massacres and riots with assault weapons, and generally brainwash their children into a war of hatred. Yet our media portrays them as the hard-done-by innocents. Go figure.
