INSOC is watching.

I don't watch the currently beyond ironic 'Big Brother' show(ugh!) but the ads are ubiquitous...the latest being some washed up ex Trump employee who gushes to the gullible chooks that Trump is indeed a 'white nationalist'...oh yeah!, just like Bruce(aka Caitlyn) Jenner is indeed a woman...pay these bottom feeders a couple of dollars and throw in a dash of notoriety and you could get them to confess that 2 + 2 = 5, just like Winston Smith but without the torture, that's reserved for the viewers.

LOOK AT THE SHINY BAUBLE!

Politicians and activists today (perhaps always?) are, more often than not, only interested in perceptions not facts. An unfortunate reality driven of course, by a public willing to be led by the nose when the dream is more comforting than the reality:

"Power industry expert Ben Beattie questions the current mania amongst politicians, bureaucrats and green activists for hydrogen as the clean, renewable fuel of the future. Beattie makes a simple point to ponder: producing hydrogen for energy use needs coal and gas, both to extract it from them as raw materials, and to power the energy-intensive electrolysis processes require to extract it."

Family Squabbles

'Big Eva' - the institution of 'Big Evangelism', the bloated bureaucracy of, behind and amongst many of those who inhabit the visible, upper echelons of the Christian world. The 'establishment' Evangelicals, typically anti-Trump, pro critical-race theory and social justice who are however, also often anti-abortion, pro-traditional marriage etc. Therefore although many who are in this 'group' are fellow travellers, we can, and should critique the public declaration of ideas with which we disagree. To disagree is not to 'persecute' or to 'hate' the one who voices these positions, indeed it is in the pursuit of truth that we dare to disagree especially when the declaration of dubious positions are made public. To question a perspective is NOT to malign the individual...it seems obsolete to even have to say this, but unfortunately in the 'trigger-sensitive' culture that we currently inhabit, avowals of the obvious often have to be voiced.
