We're lucky it turned out to be Huxley

I find this line from the comments to be agreeable..."they are both accurate and correct . . . . . the two theories actually work together....."

I see plenty of both in our world. They definitely control us through the pain of racial conflict (see Martin/Zimmerman). Books don't necessarily get banned, but they do go quietly unpublished, or if they do get published, they burn at the stake of media criticism (see The Bell Curve). I could go on and on...

You're right - I was thinking that now we have Huxley that's morphing into Orwell, but it's really a mixture of the two. Good insight.

What’s really sad is that only 2 of the 115 Commenters had a clue about these 2 men…

#1) Joey Jonutz

Great artistic representation. The debate can rage on until one learns that Huxley and Orwell promote the same progressive-leftist predictions and aspirations. Both methods of control share the same end and can be described as a sheep in wolf's clothing. See; Fabian Society. They both had access to the same insider information.

#2) I've read Postman

The only problem I have with this take on the comparison is that Orwell actually did fear the things he wrote about in "1984".

Huxley??? Huxley was a Globalist. He wasn't warning anyone. He was taking delight in his future-cast. He thought the idea was just dandy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since Orwell died or was murdered right after the book was published, Alex Jones is probably right in saying that Orwell didn't like what he learned and was probably trying to warn us and that Huxley was a Eugenicist just like his brother and that both were members of the Fabian Society. What's really frightening is that very few people know anything at all about the Fabian Society and that these books were NOT written from their imaginations because they both had access to this knowledge as members of the Fabian Society.

“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.” -George Orwell

“If the Party could reach into the past and say of this or that event "it never happened" surely that was more terrifying than mere torture and death.” -George Orwell, 1984

Indeed, this is exactly what happened with the German Holocaust and was replaced with a BOGUS JEWISH HOLCAUST!!!

Fabian Socialism and its morph into Progressivism is interesting -

[mises.org]

"Both prophetic and illuminating, Fabian Freeway documents the rise and progress of socialism in Britain and the United States and tells the story of the many early triumphs of the philosophy of socialist incrementalism known as Fabian Socialism.

Part political history, part intellectual history, Rose Martin’s Fabian Freeway traces the influence of the British Fabian Society in promoting socialism in Britain, beginning in the 1880s. The group favored gradual progress toward socialism rather than violent revolution; and it proved to be a major force in promoting British collectivism. Its influence extended to America as well, where like-minded organizations and persons enhanced its effects. Martin emphasizes Fabian influences on Wilson and FDR, and continues the discussion through the 1960’s, when the book originally appeared.

When the British Fabian Society was first founded, its members, echoing Marx’s own views, believed that socialism could only be introduced to Britain and the United States through a strategy of very gradual change disguised as reform.

Some Fabians suspected that the United States might never adopt the tenets of true socialism.

Less than 150 years, later, however, the Fabian strategy has been enormously successful. Both Britain and the United States are heavily regulated and heavily taxed societies with highly socialized economies where government agents exercise vast control over the movement of capital and currency through an enormous bureaucratic apparatus.

In the original Foreword, Loyd Wright, writing in the midst of the Cold War, discusses Fabian Socialism as “Communism’s helpmate,” and he portrays the ideology as a sort of friendly-looking version of socialism that will nevertheless end up looking very much like Soviet-style communism.

Since the end of the Cold War, however, we find that Fabian Socialism is far more dangerous than revolutionary communism. Highly attractive to so-called “reasonable” and “moderate” people, and compatible with the ideologies of so many center-left and center-right political parties, Fabian Socialism, unlike soviet-style communism, has exhibited a staying-power already shown to be much stronger than anything revolutionary communism has yet produced. Fabian Freeway provides a well-documented and rigorously compiled account of the first eighty years of Fabian Socialism."

Here is the Herbert Spencer book - Great writing

The Man Versus The State, with Six Essays on Government, Society, and Freedom

"The complete Anglo-American switch of reference, by which a 'liberal' today has come to mean primarily a State interventionist, had already begun in 1884.
Already "plausible proposals" were being made "that there should be organized a system of compulsory insurance, by which men during their early lives shall be forced to provide for the time when they will be incapacitated." Here is already the seed of the American Social Security Act of 1935.

Spencer also pays his respects to the anti-libertarian implications of an increasing tax burden. Those who impose additional taxes are saying in effect: "Hitherto you have been free to spend this portion of your earnings in any way which pleased you; hereafter you shall not be free to spend it, but we will spend it for the general benefit."

Thanks KR, I’m looking forward to going over this when I get back from walking my dog. I love the potential of the Internet and if everyone simply shared everything they did with everyone else, all of us would be rich. Indeed, this is the concept behind the more we give the more we receive.
