The Michael Berry Show is on the air. In 1948, British author Eric Blair, under his pen name George Orwell

inverted the numbers and made 1948 into 1984.

There was no magic to that number. It was a date in the future. It was a

dystopian future. It was a future he feared. A future of tyranny of the death of the individual by the all-powerful

collective in the form of their brutal government and that would be carried out by what was referred to as the

party. No one knew who was in the party. Everyone was

not in the party and nobody was not in the party.

And the party told you how to think.

And the party took the meaning of every word that they didn't like and they

inverted it. Good was called bad and bad was called good and up was down and down was up and you would go on red and stop on green.

Because by redefining every word, they could now control the words. they created their own language which they referred to as new speak.

It was the new form of speaking out with the old good with the new because by controlling language you controlled everything

and then of course you have in my opinion the three books every citizen should read

to understand what's going on today. You have Ray Bradbury

and Fahrenheit 451, the temperature at which a book will burn, and when you burn all the books, that is destroy the library, then you ban all of knowledge from the past.

And that allows you to create new knowledge.

So the lessons we learned of history can be forgotten. and that allows you to create new knowledge.
