1984 – IS BIG BROTHER HERE YET?
By Bob Paquet
May 31, 2013
Satire - a
way of using humor to show that someone or something is foolish, weak, bad, etc.: humor that shows the weaknesses or
bad qualities of
a person, government, society, etc.
If you are not familiar with the novel “1984” by George Orwell it
is about living under an omnipresent government which watches everyone closely
and persecutes all individualism and independent thinking as thoughtcrimes.
Individuals are subjected to mind control and are expected to think and live
according to the dictates of an elite political party. Right and wrong, good
and bad, and all other rules and regulations are dictated by the government.
Sound familiar? As I see, hear, and experience more and more of
the policies of the current government in the United States
MY DISCLAIMER: (To be safe – I think)
(This is a politically incorrect
disclaimer but I like it.)
I probably do not agree with everything that anyone has to
say, nor have I ever totally agreed with anyone I have met in life. This
probably includes you. And there probably isn't anyone out there who agrees
with everything I believe or have to say either. I am not your spiritual
father, teacher, and definitely not your Lord or the Holy Spirit, nor am I your
priest (See Matt23:8-10, Heb3:1, 1Peter2:9, etc). If I only referenced sources
that I considered perfect, then I probably wouldn't be able to reference any,
including my own. Now that I have said that, I do believe there is truth to be
found in every teaching I do. It is up to you and the Holy Spirit in you to discern
what is good, and to ponder or reject the rest. So, that is all I have to say
about that, thus ending my disclaimer.
Note: This list is NOT everything I
believe but perhaps
the most dangerous from the point of view
of much of our government.
I am a Christian, I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior,
I believe the Bible to be the infallible, inspired Word of God as written not
as interpreted by a multitude of commentators, and (I also thump it on occasion).
I believe that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God not by
reading commentaries. I am a retired (retarded?) 72 year old Pastor and
believe that I have the right to speak in public, to preach any sermon freely (even
about politics) and to teach without fear whatever I believe and/or know that
agrees with my faith and conscience (with respect to just laws and without
hate or malice - even if the church I belong to must give up its tax free
status). I believe that there should
be separation of the government from the church and the church from the
government (that 1st Amendment stuff – besides God is the head of
both). I am educated with a BS, two Masters degrees and a PhD (meaning I
have enough knowledge to realize how little I really know and I am full of BS,
MS and Piled Higher and Deeper) and may be considered to be too intelligent
by BIG BROTHER (thus a threat because I think for myself). I am a Marine
Corp Veteran (which may be a problem because I have been trained in the use
of firearms and have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States
I legally own firearms (to protect myself and my family from both
individuals and the government- that 2nd Amendment stuff). I
believe that God gave me the rights of Life, Liberty
I oppose same sex marriage as I feel strongly about the Biblical
covenant called marriage, (I do not approve but I am tolerant of Civil
Unions that do and should provide the same benefits as being married – the
issue seems to be the word and definition of marriage). I believe that God
gave each of us free will and He will one day judge how we used it (we each
can choose to live eternity in paradise or in hell – freedom of choice). I
think that Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are for non-homosexual boys and girls, (if
the homosexual community wants to have gay boy scouts and lesbian girl scouts
they can – I do not approve and will not support it and will most likely speak
out against it but I will be tolerant). I believe that parents are given by
our Creator the responsibility of raising their children and training them not
the state. I believe that the family, a mother (woman) and a father (man) are
the basic unit of society and should remain so.
I believe that most of the terrorism in the world today is a
result of some (crazy – politically incorrect) Islamists who have the
same mental problems (mentally challenged- politically correct) as
someone in the Ku Klux Klan thinking that their god desires for them to conquer
and rule over anyone who does not agree with them and their idea of a god. I will
without hesitation fight to defend myself, my family, my friends and my fellow citizens
and the United States of
America
I believe that most of the crimes in the world are committed by
individuals who are mentally challenged (politically correct), believe
there is no judgment (God) after death, believe that their god told them to do
it or just have decided that they want what they want when they want it (lust).
I believe that abortion is the murder of a baby in its mother’s womb and is not
made right because the government says so. I believe that the Ten Commandments
were given to man by God and are not Ten Suggestions.
I believe that I have already said too much and without a doubt
created friends and enemies so I will stop with these three absolutes (Absolute
may be a politically incorrect word in our postmodern society).
I believe that there are absolute truths including the following:
1. The longer we stay here the older we get. 2. If you live long enough you
will not get out of this alive (rapture may be an exception to this). 3.
The death rate in the world for everyone including politicians, Christians,
Islamists, etc. is 100%. WHAT IF THE BIBLE IS TRUE?

Excellent "point of view" and in the end it was "your" point of view (amendment 1 of our constitution).
We are brought up with morals and rights in which we believe. Our constitution is being re-written and it wasn't the vision our nation's founders had once willed and yearned for.
Politics are corrupt and your analogy on "political correctivness" certainly contradicts how we are taught and educated to "think" regarding what makes something politically correct. But in the end the unexplainable agenda our government pursues simply contradicts our innate natural rights anyway. So Its not that your paranoid haha your right- we are all just confused, even your Phd couldn't prepare you for an understanding such as this.
Going back to amendment 1- it was created to protect our personal religious beliefs and traditions by prohibiting any lawful political influence- however, today that is not the case. Politics have influenced our nations natural belief systems as well as our natural rights, - you noted that although you don't agree or believe in some of the lawful decisions made today by our government(We are entitled to our opinions.. right?) you did however mention something our government has forgotten about and that is our natural right of having thought and opinions- I appreciated this blog by you because you made a very valid statement, every-time you voiced your opinion you made a point to say you were still "tolerable" of things you didn't believe or agree with. That is how we lost our freedom of speech and it was long before the day "the music died". We lost the ability to freely preach, speak and express emotion and our own morality without innately having to feel scrutiny or worry that someone else may be offended (freedom of speech was affected by policy changes effecting our original foundations and if policy never influenced these original beliefs maybe we would all respect others opinions anyway), but Unfortunately government has offended that freedom by mixing law with emotion and affecting today's generations of moral character and human nature simply by the greater influence that politics now has over our once founded religious beliefs and natural morals which originally protected our right to have individualistic view points.
What is right and wrong of human character (which is clearer learned through scripture)should of never been "dictated" yes I said dictated by policy (I thought this was a democracy).
Government today has taken control of those thoughts by heavily influencing it with their agenda, in the end "1984" speaks more than numbers or words, its a reality and a perception based on our innate intuition of things we don't understand.
Pipere, I commend you for speaking you opinion and sharing your thoughts as I believe they speak a truth which is derived from your conscience as well as the beauty of intuition which in the end no one can ever content.
It is truly unfortunate that we are now living in a society that wants to inhibit each of us from being a unique unrepeatable miracle. We are all a creation of a Mighty God who desires that we experience the entirety of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Unfortuantely there are so many in this world who I would call evil - their sole agenda seems to be to make zombies of each of us.....
