George Orwell
Published in 1949, '1984' is a cautionary tale by George Orwell that explores the dangers of totalitarianism. The novel is set in a dystopian future where the world is divided into three super-states, with the protagonist Winston Smith living in Oceania, ruled by the mysterious and omnipotent leader Big Brother. Winston works at the Ministry of Truth, where he rewrites historical records to conform to the Party's ever-changing narrative. He begins an illicit love affair with Julia and starts to rebel against the Party, but they are eventually caught and subjected to brutal torture and indoctrination. The novel highlights themes of government surveillance, manipulation of language and history, and the suppression of individual freedom and independent thought.
Remember right before the 2020 election when CNN host Brian Stelter ran a lengthy segment explaining how the Hunter Biden laptop story was a big hoax, obviously generated in a conspiratorial manner by GOP partisans, likely in cahoots with Russia? Well, that makes one of you, since Brian himself claims it never happened. Except it did, which means that Brian Stelter is lying today about not having lied in the past. Quite the impressive tangle of lies — no wonder CNN has hired Stelter back after letting him go a couple of years ago.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Stelter is himself guilty of everything he accuses Republicans of doing.
Plus segments on former Obama administration official Van Jones admitting that Donald Trump is smarter than Democrats, footage of assassinated Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi predicting the demise of Syria, and Dr. Casey Means testifying about all the critical health information that is routinely left out of medical school training.
