Newspeak

Burning Down George Orwell's House , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 445min

A darkly comic debut novel about advertising, truth, single malt, Scottish hospitality - or lack thereof - and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. Ray Welter, who was until recently a high-flying advertising executive in Chicago, has left the world of newspeak behind. He decamps to the isolated Scottish Isle of Jura in order to spend a few months in the cottage where George Orwell wrote most of his seminal novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. Ray is miserable and quite prepared to make his troubles go away with the help of copious quantities of excellent scotch. But a few of the local islanders take a decidedly shallow view of a foreigner coming to visit in order to sort himself out, and Ray quickly finds himself having to deal with not only his own issues but also a community whose eccentricities are at times amusing and at others downright dangerous. Also the locals believe - or claim to believe - that there's a werewolf about, and against his better judgment Ray's misadventures build to the night of a traditional boozy werewolf hunt on the Isle of Jura on the summer solstice. ungekürzt.

1984 Nineteen Eighty-Four

Ravaged by years of war and civil conflict, Britain has changed its name to Airstrip One and become part of Oceania - one of the three totalitarian blocks dominating the world - ruled by a mysterious leader called Big Brother who keeps the population in thrall through strict surveillance and brutal police repression. In a society where the individual is suppressed and turned into an "unperson" for not conforming, and where not only personal thought, but also historical record and language itself are constantly being manipulated by the ruling regime, Ministry of Truth worker Winston Smith tries to make sense of the rebellious thoughts and passions that are stirring inside him, and finds himself impotent against the inexorable machine that surrounds him and threatens to crush him at any time.Arguably the greatest dystopian novel of all time and the most influential post-war work of fiction - which enriched the English language with words such as "Newspeak", "doublethink" and "thoughtcrime" - Nineteen Eighty-Four is a riveting read and a groundbreaking exploration of mass surveillance, censorship and mind control, which has a deep resonance with the world we live in.

Macht und Geschichte

Die hier dargelegten Recherchen zeigen, daß die Weltgeschichte als Kriegsgeschichte einem Masterplan der Illuminaten entspricht, die ein elementares Interesse an der Versklavung, Verarmung und Verelendung der Weltbevölkerung haben. Das Ziel der Eliten ist die totale charakterliche Destabilisierung der Menschen sowie die Vergiftung der zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen. Die Folge ist der Ruf nach einem starken Mann, und dieser soll die Weltdiktatur etablieren.Damit sich die One-World-Despoten der reptiloiden Agenda etablieren können, überziehen sie die Menschheit mit Totalüberwachung, Mind-Control, Chiplementierung, Geldannulierung, Pauperisierung, Cyborgisierung, Dezimierung, Chaos, Anarchie, Sozialrevolten, Bürgerkriegen und Insolvenzen bis hin zum Staatsbankrott.Die reptiloid-hybride Agenda plant, zunehmend mehr Terroranschläge, Kriege und Katastrophen zu inszenieren, eine verheerende Wirtschaftskrise zu arrangieren, uns immer mehr autoritäre Gesetze aufzuzwingen und das Maß an Angst und Streß auf jede nur erdenkliche Weise zu erhöhen. Das Ziel der Archonten ist ein Planet mit einer deutlich reduzierten menschlichen Population. Die verbleibende Menschheit soll durch chemische und psychologische Programmierung sowie durch genetische Manipulation in geistige und emotionale Zombies verwandelt werden. Der geplante Superstaat unterm Diktat der USA soll mit denselben Mitteln geschaffen und regiert werden, wie der Staat in Orwells Roman 1984: primär mit ewigem Krieg, ewigem Terror, ewiger Überwachung, ewiger Propaganda und ewiger Spannung. Sekundär mit einer Verschärfung des Existenzkampfes, sozialer Verarmung, einem Newspeak, einem Doppeldenk (Gedankenkontrolle und Gedankenspaltung) und einer Trivialisierung von Kunst, Kultur und Nahrung. Geplant ist eine Welt aus virtuellen Personoiden innerhalb einer Gesellschaft, die von Robotern und transhumanistischer Technologie gesteuert wird, von Computersystemen, deren künstliche Intelligenz die Intelligenz der gesamten menschlichen Rasse (der geistig versklavten menschlichen Rasse) übertrifft. Der Mensch soll gemäß diesem Sklavenmodell der Agenda 21 durch eine kybernetische Kreatur ersetzt werden, die durch robotische Armeen aus Cyborgs beherrscht wird. Am Ende wären wir, wie von den archontischen Netzwerken geplant, allesamt versklavte Roboter.Ein Milliardenheer von rechtlosen und depersonalisierten Galeoten, den diabolischen Zielen und Interessen des "unsichtbaren Ungeheuers" wehrlos ausgeliefert - das ist das eigentliche und letzte Ziel der Neuen Weltordnung. Die kommenden Jahre werden zeigen, ob sich die Menschheit eine derartige Entmündigung und Unterwerfung bieten läßt, oder ob es dagegen globale Revolten in bisher nicht gekannten Dimensionen geben wird.
