Is the United States now in the ‘1984’ society that George Orwell warned about?  Some influential leaders in Hollywood think so:

Americans are living in an Orwellian state argue Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone and historian Peter Kuznick, as they sit down with RT to discuss US foreign policy and the Obama administration’s disregard for the rule of law.

­Both argue that Obama is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and that people have forgiven him a lot because of the “nightmare of the Bush presidency that preceded him.”

“He has taken all the Bush changes he basically put them into the establishment, he has codified them,” Stone told RT. “It is an Orwellian state. It might not be oppressive on the surface, but there is no place to hide. Some part of you is going to end up in the database somewhere.”

According to Kuznick, American citizens live in a fish tank where their government intercepts more than 1.7 billion messages a day. “That is email, telephone calls, other forms of communication.”

It used to be that a difference between the Soviet Union and the USA was that citizens in the USA had more legal and privacy protections.  But with the break-up of the old Soviet Union and the supposed “anti-terrorist” powers that the US government has adopted since 9/11/2001, there has been a shift in the USA.

This, combined with accelerating moral decline does not bode well for the USA, which badly needs national repentance.
