George Orwell was a fraud. He was an MI5 agent deputised to write up the planned coming tyranny but to throw people off the scent by saying that it would come from the right and not the liberals and the left from where it is now coming. He hid the fact that the Rothschild family (current estimated fortune 37 trillion) were to lead the NWO by making the hero of the book Jewish. We were all taken in and now we face international tyranny in a sleepwalking state.
@Ariel62073 Isn´t that human nature though? To set your yourself above and beyond the scum that toil away their days, in complete ignorance of the elegant understanding we conveniently reserve for ourselves. I was like it the first time I read a good book and I suspect I am no better in that respect to this very day. Even my awareness of my arrogance will never be of any help in taming it, despite my efforts.

@gamegloss It helps me, upon waking, to proclaim, "I know nothing!" Allthesame, I say it with a mind that I know enough to say it, which signifies something else: perhaps a self-analysis always distorting to improve upon, whether superficially positive or negative, inner, untapped aspirations.
@Biyer11 I wouldn't say it too important really, i just found that Animal Farm revealed how easy a free society can turn into a dictatorship, then 1984 is set in that totalitarian future. If it's an inconvenience then it nothing to worry about.
FYI: -there is nothing mystical about Geo.Orwell's book- "1984", --as it is a fact he socialized with these criminal-elite agents of Rothschild/Rockefeller's et'al Jew-Zionist Bank'sters, --and unlike patriots H.Ford, C.Lindbergh, St.Hitler, --whom tried to expose these jewZionist subversives, Orwell(Blair) simply wrote about their nearly completed sick-plan to enslave humanity via zealous control of all Banks (-his book is allowed because it dared not reveal the truth about the Jews)...!!!

Listen to Dr. Judy Wood interviewed at Red Ice Radio. What was done on 9/11 might have shocked even Orwell. Read WHERE DID THE TOWERS GO? by Dr. Judy Wood. This book may be the most important written in the 21st Century.
The difference between Nazi Germany and the United States? None. Just a shell game in the alley. In Nazi Germany the government took over the corporations. In the United States the corporations took over the government. Same monster. You know why Americans fly flags now? I've even seen them painted on dumpsters. It's because that's the only thing American they have left. They're living in a nightmare and they need to believe the fantasy that they're still free. They are the world's new proles.

I find it odd that most writers of that time were smokers and usually smoked on camera during interviews. Nothing against smoking, it's just that genius usually was consumed by cigars or cigarettes.
It really is unfortunate that there doesn't even exist a voice recording or Orwell's. He was on the BBC radio for Christ's sake. Plus he would not have sounded like this actor, having been shot in the throat.
As much as I love Orwell's writing, I can't watch this without worrying that Peter Capaldi is gonna run onto the set with his bollockin' face on and tell Langham to quit fockin' about.
Hello to all the viewers of this video; I just want to know if anyone thinks they see interesting similar parallel between what is current event happening now and 1984. I could be wrong; I , over the past five years, here in my part of DC...DC police have installed cameras near Benning Road Metro subway station for the supposedly innocent reason monitoring the area for crimes in progress. Hmmm 1984 anyone ? What do you think ?
let remeber orwells essay and books that generalised the dictatorships and crimes of other nations as something that he country done to of course they were not published !
@timetochilli Very well said. And I agree, Orwell's patriotism and love of England is evident in just about everything he wrote. And is it specifically ENGLISH nationlism.
George Orwell and Winston Churchill the two greatest Englishmen of the 20th century!
@dezboss i guess so but im not too fond of churchill! but orwell was a good leftist as well i just bought his books in one collection im gna start by readng clergymans daughter:)
That's a contemptible juxtaposition and you don't even know it. Orwell was a good man. Churchill was a vulgar war criminal who murdered thousands of innocents for no good reason.
@dezboss You are aware Churchill talked well of Stalin while Orwell personifies Stalin as the villain of Animal Farm, Napoleon (or in the original French version as Cesar)
George Orwell is one my top favourite writers and I personally think is the most important of modern history. Or one of the most important at the very least.
"Integrity does not consist of loyalty to one’s subjective whims, but of loyalty to rational principles."
This,for me is a devastatingly over-simplistic assertion and a false dichotomy. If one looks at the regimes of Hitler, Stalin,or Mao they can see that a materialist view can be used to rationalize anything using socio-economic rhetoric,and the conceptsof "right"or"wrong" become completely subjective and defined only by the convictons of the dictatorial Gods

Yes, it is surprising and disappointing that there are no surviving voice or video recording of Orwell - given that he produced BBC (radio) programs (e.g. for the BBC India service, or whatever it was called then) in the 1940s...
UK Prime Minister David Cameron’s forebears have a long history in financial racketeering. His great-great grandfather, Emile Levita, a German Jew, was related to the German- Goldsmid banking family, and obtained British citizenship in 1871. He was the director of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China. - PLEASE Watch these videos - Lyndon LaRouche explains start of WW III . or - The Obama Deception. here on youtube . Google Abolish Federal Reserve Petition and sign it
@alen209 how so? I mean, Orwell is known for having tried to dismantle the marxian system every time he had the chance to, while exposing the circular fallacies this philosophy was well known for.
" The real objective of Socialism is human brotherhood. Men use up their lives in heart-breaking political struggles, ..., not in order to establish some central-heated, air-conditioned, strip-lighted Paradise, but because they want a world in which human beings love one another instead of swindling and murdering one another. And they want that world as a first step."
HATE CRIME: In proper English it would be "hateful crime," in practice it's THOUGHTCRIME, as envisioned in George Orwell's 1948 novel: "Nineteen Eighty-Four," which had been tentatively entitled: "The Last Man in England." In Daytona Beach, NEWSPEAK is thriving. The new police station, which is on rural land (the old place was in junkie town) is the "Law Enforcement Center."
@procommenter Hate is an emotion, so "hate crime" may be called an "emotion crime" with no controversy. It makes the connection to "thought crime" seem clearer. It could be they are the same thing.
Anyway, I would recommend calling "hate crime" an "emotion crime" so that people would start seeing its true nature.
@jostpuur : Yet the law is rightfully concerned with intentions. If a doctor kills a patient by mistakenly prescribing a medicine, based on a wrong lab report, certainly that doctor is not guilty of murder. On the other hand, if the doctor purposely gives a medication that he knows to be fatal to a patient then a case of murder it is.
The actor that played Orwell in this had the same mannerisms of Orwell that I would imagine he would, not that I put real thought into it. The bastards got me with this, I thought the intro was a real interview.
Orwell made hundreds of hours of broadcasts for the BBC, there MUST be a recording somewhere. What a genius. But then, when he was 'Down and Out in Paris in London' he wasn't averse to taking the weekends off at the homes of his rich aunt in Paris and his well-to-do relatives in Britain. He was such a good writer that although he only spent a month in Wigan it sounds like he lived there for years. I have a feeling he was bit of a snob, even though his instincts were correct.
Your conservative values maybe what you beleive and I respect your opinon but I cant help feel your projecting your own politics onto Orwell. It sounds like your describing Margaret Thatcher not Orwell!
I like how right wingers try to downplay 1984 as mindless drivel while they at the same time gladly give away their freedom in the name of security. And they don't even acknowledge that they do it. Dumb people have no sense of perspective, it seems. Give away all your rights in one day and you might miss them. Give them away over a lifetime and you won't even notice. Governments are more patient than any one man. If people stay dumb, the world will be utterly broken in 50 years time.
Real right wing people seek to give freedom back to the individual. I'd like to think that if Mr.Orwell were alive today he'd consider himself a right-winger. Sounds weird but think about it.
@paulgallagher13 Orwell was a socialist till the day he died. I doubt he would have considered himself right wing today, his masterpieces 1984 and animal farm were direct aganst what he saw as a betrayal of socialism. He viewed the right as crooks out to swindle the poor for their own profit. His book "the lion and the unicorn" sets out what he felt was socialism and its benefits you should give it a read its a cracking book.
George Orwell stood for a number of things but paying unemployed people large sums of money for long periods of time is not one of them. He was of course disgusted by slum housing in his time, i suspect he would be equally disgusted by the council housing now widespread in the UK.He stood for lifting the poor out of poverty in a way the Labour Party can not achieve, by creating a meritocracy. He stood for unrestricted personal rights in that the state should mind its own business.
I didnt claim he standed for paying unemployed people large amounts of money, nor do I have any love for the labour party. The council housing we now have are far from perfect but its far better than what they had in the 30's. He most certain did not beleive the "state should mind its own business", if anything he beleived the state should control and regulate industry and education as he felt the competitiveness of capitialism was wasteful and self defeating.
I read this 1984 in high school...grade 7 or 8. I can't believe they expected us to full able to understand the magnitude of what he was describing at age 14/15. He was speaking of exactly how the world is today: a disaster. Orwell was so smart, so on point...that the meanings of his writings go over the head of the most "sheeple" (including our intellectual elites---aka teachers/professors). As a young woman, I reread the book and was amazed that I did not "get it" as much as I did now.

I know eh. The gov't watches at walmart, at any store (for that matter), in the buses/the trains, at the gym, at school (especially univesities), at work (so-called "security") even ONLINE. We have no privacy and "they" call it a "deterent" right as if cameras made people who want to kill "logically" reason not to.
I think pink unicorns are real, so what? God isn't real and can't ruin nations, governments are and do.
"Who needs... "
Govt. spying & control of a majority are 2 different things.
"I am ironically... "
Of course you are, and I have black and gay friends, too.
IMO if a nation doesn't have a common belief system, it will eventually become so fragmented ideologically that it will break down on all levels. That's what's happening now. &, a product of that = state/govt. worship
"IMO if a nation doesn't have a common belief system,..."
IMO, it isn't possible for a nation to have a common belief system. And striving to create one only fragments the ideaology behind it's oppression. Attacking the symptoms instead of the disease.
That's what's happening now. Blaming all of our problems on race, sexuality, and religion. Instead of a system based on duplicity, avarice, and violence. The byproducts of capitalism.
Nope. It's definitely capitalism. Corporatism is just an authoritarian expression of capitalism. Much in the same way that communism, with democracy as a precursor, could be an authoritarian expression of socialism. The only difference between the two evolutions is the requisite for democracy. Democracy is necessary for socialism to exist, but not for capitalism.
No shit corporatism is just an authoritarian expression of capitalism. That was my point. Capitalism is great, but freedom comes with responsibility, which a lot of people don't like. The reason why we're in the mess we're in now is because people don't pay attention to the manipulation of our system. Capitalism isn't the problem. It's the special interest groups that manipulate it.
@lucasboden Dude, I cannot agree with your more. For days, I have been thinking of how religion itself is not an entirely bad thing; in fact it's those who practice it are. There are a lot of good Christians that I know of, but it's a shame how a lot of opportunists have mixed Christianity with politics as a means to control or mislead others.
Your comment is just the sort of reassurance I needed. Thank you.
@toseeornot2see All things that are presently Christian are the way they are because of politics. Every move made by the leaders in Rome (presently the Vatican) have been done so in order to gain more members and keeping members from leaving. Purges, intolerance, social ostracization, missionaries (propagandists), and laws promoting religions were spread earlier in history to spread fear amongst people to join and not to quit.
@toseeornot2see The ignorance of the people was exploited and the religious leaders, even today, use small provacative images to scare/awe people into joining and not leaving. Scaring people with the punishment of Hell for doing bad things and being "rewarded" with Heaven if you follow the rules were ways in which religious/political leaders used fear to promote their agendas and control the ignorant masses of people.
@toseeornot2see So, I would have to disagree that the spreading of lies and ignorance is a good thing. One should choose what they believe in and hold dear to live their life, not blindy follow what religion (or increasingly today, the television) tells them to do and what to think. Stop being pawns dominated by the words of kings. "Proles" as George Orwell called them...Only independent thought can set the world free. Everyone has an agenda; the truth is often not a known fact...R.I.P. Orwell.
@lucasboden To what extent then do you think that the removing the basis for someone's morality through secularization of the education system will impact on indiidual intrapersonal governance? and to what extent do you think that lessened intrapersonal governance will necessitate heightened external governance as exersised through the constabulary? Any? only a small modicum? none? Bear in mind that the horrors of fascism and communism drew strongly from materialism.
@driftwooddays yes, but you're missing the point; secularizing the school system means you're mass-producing minds that believe they can theoretically get away with anything that people don't see-because they don't have a basis for morality. That inturn leads to more rigorous law enforcement.
@fashklash Everyone has a basis for morality, morality is an inherent human social faculty, much like language is. Culture can either help reflect upon and refine this faculty, or distort it, as ideological dogma tends to do. You can never strip morality from a human, you can only teach him to deceive himself via sophisms and doublethink. The God of the Bible is by no means any source of morality, btw, he's on average more immoral than Satan when you actually read the bloody book.
"Integrity does not consist of loyalty to one’s subjective whims, but of loyalty to rational principles."
This,for me is a devastatingly over-simplistic assertion and a false dichotomy. If one looks at the regimes of Hitler, Stalin,or Mao they can see that a materialist view can be used to rationalize anything using socio-economic rhetoric,and the conceptsof "right"or"wrong" become completely subjective and defined only by the dictatorial Gods' convictions
@lucasboden haha ya faith is like believing 2+2=5,no proof yu knw its not true but yu choose to believe it becuz like in the book yu get brainwashed..
@lucasboden In theory too, don't forget. You worship an unalterable dictator in the sky who observes you from before you are born until after you are dead, who can convict you of thoughtcrime, discourages sex, cares what you eat and who cooks it, demands his incessant worship, and if you don't you will be tortured to death. There is one advantage that Big Brother possesses over God, at least you can fucking die in Oceania.
War is coming. 1941, they say...It's all going to happen. All the things you've got at the back of your mind, the things you're terrified of, the things that you tell yourself are just a nightmare or only happen in foreign countries. The bombs, the food-queues, the rubber truncheons, the barbed wire, the coloured shirts, the slogans, the enormous faces, the machine-guns squirting out of bedroom windows. It's all going to happen. — George Orwell: "Coming Up for Air," p. 274
Who's the actor? He's good. Though I seem to remember Bob Edward's saying that Orwell had an "Eton accent" I think he should sound a bit more cut glass...Edwards said it often caused problems with working class people he fought with.
It's insulting that this is aired on BBC.

I find it odd that most writers of that time were smokers and usually smoked on camera during interviews. Nothing against smoking, it's just that genius usually was consumed by cigars or cigarettes.

Hello to all the viewers of this video; I just want to know if anyone thinks they see interesting similar parallel between what is current event happening now and 1984. I could be wrong; I , over the past five years, here in my part of DC...DC police have installed cameras near Benning Road Metro subway station for the supposedly innocent reason monitoring the area for crimes in progress. Hmmm 1984 anyone ? What do you think ?

HATE CRIME: In proper English it would be "hateful crime," in practice it's THOUGHTCRIME, as envisioned in George Orwell's 1948 novel: "Nineteen Eighty-Four," which had been tentatively entitled: "The Last Man in England." In Daytona Beach, NEWSPEAK is thriving. The new police station, which is on rural land (the old place was in junkie town) is the "Law Enforcement Center."
procommenter 1 year ago
@procommenter Hate is an emotion, so "hate crime" may be called an "emotion crime" with no controversy. It makes the connection to "thought crime" seem clearer. It could be they are the same thing.
Anyway, I would recommend calling "hate crime" an "emotion crime" so that people would start seeing its true nature.

@jostpuur : Yet the law is rightfully concerned with intentions. If a doctor kills a patient by mistakenly prescribing a medicine, based on a wrong lab report, certainly that doctor is not guilty of murder. On the other hand, if the doctor purposely gives a medication that he knows to be fatal to a patient then a case of murder it is.

Orwell made hundreds of hours of broadcasts for the BBC, there MUST be a recording somewhere. What a genius. But then, when he was 'Down and Out in Paris in London' he wasn't averse to taking the weekends off at the homes of his rich aunt in Paris and his well-to-do relatives in Britain. He was such a good writer that although he only spent a month in Wigan it sounds like he lived there for years. I have a feeling he was bit of a snob, even though his instincts were correct.

Dumb people have no sense of perspective, it seems. Give away all your rights in one day and you might miss them. Give them away over a lifetime and you won't even notice. Governments are more patient than any one man. If people stay dumb, the world will be utterly broken in 50 years time.

@paulgallagher13 Orwell was a socialist till the day he died. I doubt he would have considered himself right wing today, his masterpieces 1984 and animal farm were direct aganst what he saw as a betrayal of socialism. He viewed the right as crooks out to swindle the poor for their own profit. His book "the lion and the unicorn" sets out what he felt was socialism and its benefits you should give it a read its a cracking book.

George Orwell stood for a number of things but paying unemployed people large sums of money for long periods of time is not one of them. He was of course disgusted by slum housing in his time, i suspect he would be equally disgusted by the council housing now widespread in the UK.He stood for lifting the poor out of poverty in a way the Labour Party can not achieve, by creating a meritocracy. He stood for unrestricted personal rights in that the state should mind its own business.
paulgallagher13 1 year ago
I didnt claim he standed for paying unemployed people large amounts of money, nor do I have any love for the labour party. The council housing we now have are far from perfect but its far better than what they had in the 30's. He most certain did not beleive the "state should mind its own business", if anything he beleived the state should control and regulate industry and education as he felt the competitiveness of capitialism was wasteful and self defeating.

He was speaking of exactly how the world is today: a disaster. Orwell was so smart, so on point...that the meanings of his writings go over the head of the most "sheeple" (including our intellectual elites---aka teachers/professors). As a young woman, I reread the book and was amazed that I did not "get it" as much as I did now.

Democracy is necessary for socialism to exist, but not for capitalism.

No shit corporatism is just an authoritarian expression of capitalism. That was my point. Capitalism is great, but freedom comes with responsibility, which a lot of people don't like.

It's the special interest groups that manipulate it.

@toseeornot2see All things that are presently Christian are the way they are because of politics. Every move made by the leaders in Rome (presently the Vatican) have been done so in order to gain more members and keeping members from leaving. Purges, intolerance, social ostracization, missionaries (propagandists), and laws promoting religions were spread earlier in history to spread fear amongst people to join and not to quit.

@toseeornot2see The ignorance of the people was exploited and the religious leaders, even today, use small provacative images to scare/awe people into joining and not leaving.

@toseeornot2see So, I would have to disagree that the spreading of lies and ignorance is a good thing. One should choose what they believe in and hold dear to live their life, not blindy follow what religion (or increasingly today, the television) tells them to do and what to think. Stop being pawns dominated by the words of kings. "Proles" as George Orwell called them...Only independent thought can set the world free. Everyone has an agenda; the truth is often not a known fact...R.I.P. Orwell.

@fashklash Everyone has a basis for morality, morality is an inherent human social faculty, much like language is. Culture can either help reflect upon and refine this faculty, or distort it, as ideological dogma tends to do. You can never strip morality from a human, you can only teach him to deceive himself via sophisms and doublethink. The God of the Bible is by no means any source of morality, btw, he's on average more immoral than Satan when you actually read the bloody book.
