In the 1949 Dystopian Novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four”, by English novelist George Orwell, Big Brother used Doublethink as a process of indoctrination whereby citizens are expected to accept as true that which is clearly false, or to simultaneously accept two mutually contradicting beliefs as correct, even though one’s own memories or sense of reality refuted the concept.
Our own “President BIGGLY” exemplifies the Big Brotherly traits of hypocritical deception used by the State over its citizens in the novel “1984”.
He brags of knowledge that he sorely lacks.
He consistently hides behind a celebrity mask to fool the public and gain political benefit.
He pretends to lead while constantly passing the buck to others.
He whines “FAKE NEWS”, when reporters ask pertinent questions that conflict with his own interests.
As more and more people around the world are donning masks to venture outside their homes, it is time to look beyond “President BIGGLY’s” mask to see the Con artist living within.
