America &#8212; and, indeed, the whole world &#8212; is fast being organized into a global surveillance state where the population will be monitored and controlled by artificial intelligence software on government (read: corporate) supercomputers with the global 5G wireless cellular network beaming powerful mind control signals directly into the brains of the populace.<\/p>\n<p>And who is really behind this plot to enslave the human race?  5G technology was developed by Israel&#8217;s technology firms &#8230; but 5G wireless is strictly prohibited in Israel.  It&#8217;s something to think about.<\/p>\n<p>Please read the article (see URL at the end of this short commentary.)

Not only would it have required far more gray matter than I possess (and wired differently, too) &#8230; it&#8217;s too much hard work!  Seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Consider Louis Menand&#8217;s analysis of Orwell&#8217;s &#8220;1984.&#8221;  Think about how many books and reviews he had to have read and absorbed to have come to these conclusions.  It is humbling to realize how much more a truly powerful intellect gets out of a work of literature.<\/p>\n<p>One fascinating aspect of Menand&#8217;s essay on Orwell&#8217;s book is the closing paragraph&#8217;s veiled reference to AIPAC and the Jews&#8217; interference in America&#8217;s political process.  Since Menand is a Jew himself, it is uncharacteristically perceptive of the man to recognize &#8212; much less to publicly admit &#8212; the reality of the Jews&#8217; assault on democracy, and to point out the hypocrisy in recriminations against those who would investigate the threat posed by The Enemy Within.  <\/p>\n<p>(chs 06-23-2019 0754 -0500)<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201c1984\u201d at Seventy: Why We Still Read Orwell\u2019s Book of Prophecy<\/p>\n<p>By Louis Menand<\/p>\n<p>June 8, 2019<\/p>\n<p>\nURL:     https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/news\/daily-comment\/1984-at-seventy-why-we-still-read-orwells-book-of-prophecy<\/p>\n<p>\n(chs 06-25-2019 1015 -0500)<\/p>\n<p><\/body><br \/>\n<\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;1984&#8217; AT SEVENTY (LOUIS MENAND) Comments by Charles Sulka .
