1984? 

Pam Dewey, the beloved editor of the Prophecy Podcast, has started up a series on her blog Prophecy Panic Button on propaganda and in particular is beginning with Big Brother and George Orwell's novel 1984. It is not that it matters which sock puppet is on the right or left hand of Babylon the Great. What matters is how we, unless on our guard, will be deceived just like the masses in the novel 1984 that Pam references.

As Jack Nicholson said in A Few Good Men, "You can't handle the truth." Can you? No the truth will not be about a few bad men with secret handshakes, it is a lot harder than that.

Read the series, if you dare.
