Just history repeating itself. Similar process to the creation of the pagan religions of the earth.

O-h, that is such an interesting way of looking at the history of pagan thought. It has given me pause and much to ponder.

Kart, thank you for the Orwell quote.

Winston’s Ministry of truth changed newspapers, magazines, movies, photographs, etc.
‘Once it’s on he internet, it’s there forever.’

Bellamy’s ‘Looking Backward’ written one hundred years ago is also OBE. Victrolas were cutting edge and he wrote about people being entertained and edified by discs, but knew nothing of television.

This is the problem for 20th century dummies, Hillary for example. She’s had to hire people with tech ability and they left a trail a lot of high school kids could track. There are no more ‘memory holes’.
She’s going to be indicted not long after her Paki pals start squealing.

Gorge? As in a narrow valley between hills with a river running through it?

The Bible called it way longer than he did. What we are seeing is proof that people, in mass, willing deceive themselves with lies.

We also see at work the same evil as the New Testament highlights. Those who do evil promote themselves as righteous arbiters, such as the pharisees.

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”

Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past George Orwell: 1984

Orwell's "Animal Farm" describes how the tenets of "1984" manifest itself.
