You know it’s still cloudy and rainy down here so it’s hard to be cheerful in these blog posts. Today Jeff is listening to Van Morrison’s album Moon Dance now you know he’s depressed, so let’s get really down and talk about “Big Brother is watching.” That quote comes from the story contained in the book 1984 written by George Orwell in 1949 deals with things like the cult of personality whose leader was known as Big Brother the world had suffered an atomic war and was divided into three super nations. The story centers on Oceania it’s really should be required reading for everyone at some point in their life. Jeff said he had a really hard time finding a copy in a Library last year when we were still in the US. Being a little crazy he believes the government would prefer it if no one read it anymore. He believes they don’t want you to see how easy it is to spy on everything you do and we do mean everything. In the story they use cameras on the TVs that you must keep on at all times in today world that wouldn’t be necessary fiber optic cable is capable of both sending and receiving signals so maybe that little electric eye on your video box is really a camera, now what do you suppose there watching? In the book the purpose of TV is to indoctrinate everyone into obeying the Edits of Big Brother and make sure no one is acting in a subversive way. Does this sound like the Patriot Act in America, don’t worry I’m sure some version of this will show up in your country soon, traffic cameras anyone. You know as crazy as Jeff is some of this almost makes sense, hey big brother if you listening or reading this BITE ME Ciao
