The Rise of the “Orwellian” Left

Series: Thinking Right in a culture whose Mind’s Left

I wrote most of this essay over a year ago but did not publish it because I thought it would be taken down or worse. We are experiencing less censorship briefly now because the Left wants to win the midterms and knows their cancel culture policies are unpopular. I believe they intend to end all our liberties if given the chance.

George Orwell, around 1948, wrote the book “1984.” This was after World War II and after millions of ordinary civilians had died at the hands of their own totalitarian government (which was driven by the deceit of communism/socialism ideologies and its resulting desire for control at any cost to others). Orwell wrote the book as a warning of what could happen again and how to detect it. With this book he also predicted 2020 U.S. politics; he was just 36 years early in his prediction. “1984” talks about our current illegal drive toward totalitarianism, governmental lying to citizens for political gain,1,2 changing the meanings of words to control thought,3 and the criminalization of free speech.2

“1984” talks about the totalitarian squashing of our freedom of speech.2 We have seen this done in both the private and public sectors this last year (2020 and 2021 as of this portion of this essay). They censor views they do not want to hear or be heard. They also coerce others to do what the censors think is right, regardless of what these others may think is right, and regardless of others’ Constitutional rights and objective truth. They do this because they are insecure and express that insecurity by being bullies, and so their insecurity drives an insatiable lust for power. They don’t rely on facts for their beliefs, but rather rehearse their negative emotions. Their beliefs do not stand up to objective scrutiny and so they cannot defend them and that frustrates them. In the end all they have left is to turn their frustration into anger and hate toward those with whom they disagree. And, ironically, hate is the very thing they say they are against.

Obama4 and Biden are adept at word games to lay the groundwork for subverting the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Obama questions the meaning of absolute God-given liberty and Biden asks if gun rights are “absolute.”

  1. Hydroxycloroquine and zinc were said to be effective in early treatment by Dr. Stella Immanuel after she treated over 350 people successfully with it at the beginning of the pandemic. See https://www.prageru.com/video/dr-stella-immanuel-we-dont-need-to-die-there-is-a-treatment-for-covid/. While thousands are dying Fauci/Biden wanted a “double-blind test” to determine “effectiveness.” This is reasonable during normal times, when there is time, but not in a pandemic emergency situation, while thousands are dying and over 350 people have already been effectively treated and hydroxycloroquine has been known to be safe.
  2. Google takes down true report. Medical doctors are overruled by politicians through Medical Boards threatening licenses if doctors dare to question the State. See https://www.prageru.com/video/there-is-an-orchestrated-attack-against-hydroxychloroquine/.
  3. “Defund The Police doesn’t mean defund the police” one rioter scoffs at the TV reporter’s “ignorance,” while another rioter shouts “defund the police” means exactly what it says.
  4. Former President Obama, in his second inaugural address, said:


“Being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life; it does not mean we will all define liberty in exactly the same way. . .”

From <https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/01/21/full-text-of-president-barack-obamas-second-inaugural-address>

(Ben Shapiro astutely observes (and I apologize to him for my rough paraphrase) that if your definition of liberty means that you take my money and my definition of liberty means that I keep my money. . .  we have a problem. . . and the problem is because we don’t “define liberty in exactly the same way. . . .”)

How Jesus has kept His Promises to me and more importantly “the helpless”

1 How blessed is he who considers the helpless;
The Lord will deliver him in a day of trouble.

2 The Lord will protect him and keep him alive,
And he shall be called blessed upon the earth;
And do not give him over to the desire of his enemies.

3 The Lord will sustain him upon his sickbed;
In his illness, You restore him to health.

Psalm 41:1–3 (NASB95)

Jesus has fulfilled this promise to our family.

We bought roughly a dozen brand new winter coats, deep discounted, tax-deductible on regular price, and gave them to In The Image because In The Image gives its goods away free to the materially challenged. Why did we buy the coats? God suggested it when we went through that major department store.

We support kids in under-developed countries to give them food, medical care, education and the opportunity to know Jesus if they desire. Again, Jesus prompted the giving.

We have supported our church and that church tangibly demonstrates and shares the love of Jesus for all people. God through the Bible suggested it.

We support a Pastor who reaches desperate married couples on the edge of divorce with a proven, powerful, message and plan that can eventually bring their marriage to wholeness. We do this because of God’s prompting.

I and my team invested hours upon hours bringing our Mental Health Support Group to life. People that had been told that mental illness was their fault, that they weren’t obedient to Jesus, that they didn’t have enough faith, etc. were told the truth: Jesus loves them just as they are, mental illness is not being disobedient, mental illness is not their fault. Our group was known for hope, healing, and hilarity. God led me for over six years to help make this successful for three years. God again prompted this.

So we have scratched the surface of helping the helpless.

Did God keep his promise?

He has saved me from trouble and death:
I have witnessed God saving me from car accidents times without number and occasionally saving me from even death.

He sustained me on my sickbed:
Even though I’m in my sixties, majorly overweight, completely out of shape, when I got COVID-19 God healed me.

He blessed me, thwarting the plan of my enemy:
When a supervisor made a false accusation about me that I wanted to harm her, God had already had me interview for another job an hour before I was informed of her plan to force me out. I believed God was sending me a message to leave and I quit without knowing if I had the new job. I got the new job two weeks later.

Jesus told a parable about a servant that was working, came in from the field, first served his master dinner (gave his Master the true and rightful credit) and then afterward he ate dinner (Jesus said, “the slave doesn’t deserve praise for doing what he was told does he?” We slaves are to say: “We are unprofitable servants, we have only done what was expected”).

If you choose to help the helpless in real and meaningful ways, Jesus will help you in real and meaningful ways. We don’t work to get Jesus to love us, we work BECAUSE JESUS ALREADY LOVES US.

(Consider: Jesus says not to do things to obtain the praise of men. But what if we do things because we love people because Jesus loves us? I think if we made this distinction we may flood the world with communications of what Jesus is doing through his people).

Jesus is new wine . . .

14 Then the disciples of John *came to Him, asking, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”
15 And Jesus said to them, “The attendants of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 “But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.
17 “Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”

  • Jesus Christ, Matthew 9:14–17 (NASB95)

Mourning is not needed for those in the presence of Great Joy (Jesus). And after fasting and mourning the loss of the presence of Jesus He returned to stay at Pentecost, in the Person of the Holy Spirit.

Fasting doesn’t fit someone who has had all their sins forgiven, their old heart of stone removed and replaced with a heart of flesh (that wants to do God’s will), knowledge they will live forever with Jesus living inside them, and more…

The old practice of fasting (old wineskins) cannot contain the new Life Giving Spirit of Jesus (new wine) at work in us who have been transformed by Him. Jesus prescribes new practices (new wineskins) for His Presence (new wine).

100% JESUS

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Daniel 7:14,27
