Nineteen Eighty-Four was a British television adaptation of the novel of the same name by George Orwell, originally broadcast on BBC Television in the winter of 1954. The production proved to be hugely controversial, with questions asked in Parliament and many viewer complaints over its supposed subversive nature and horrific content. In a 2000 poll of industry experts conducted by the British Film Institute to determine the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes of the 20th century, Nineteen Eighty-Four was ranked in seventy-third position.
The play provoked something of an upset. There were complaints both about the "horrific" content (particularly the infamous Room 101 scene where Smith is threatened with torture by rats) and the "subversive" nature of the play. Most were worried by the depiction of a totalitarian governmental regime controlling the population's freedom of thought, and four Members of Parliament from the governing Conservative Party tabled motions in the House of Commons for the scheduled Thursday second performance to be cancelled. There was also a report in the Daily Express newspaper of 42-year-old Beryl Merfin of Herne Bay collapsing and dying as she watched the production, under the headline "Wife dies as she watches", allegedly from the shock of what she had seen.

Amidst objections the BBC went ahead with the performance, although the decision went to the heights of the Board of Governors, which narrowly voted in favour of the second performance. This was even introduced live on camera by Head of Drama Michael Barry himself, who had already appeared on the Monday's edition of the topical news programme Panorama to defend the production. The seven million viewers who did tune in for the Thursday performance constituted the largest television audience in the UK since the Coronation the previous year, and even the Queen and Prince Philip made it known publicly that they had watched and enjoyed the play.

When it had become clear what an important production Nineteen Eighty-Four was, it was arranged for the second performance to be telerecorded onto 35mm film the first performance having simply disappeared off into the ether, as it was shown live, seen only by those who were watching on the Sunday evening. At this stage, Videotape recording was still at the development stage and television images could only be preserved on film by using a special recording apparatus (known as "telerecording" in the UK and "kinescoping" in the USA), but was only used sparingly, then in Britain for historic preservation reasons and not for pre-recording. It is thus the second performance that survives in the archives, one of the earliest surviving British television dramas.  less

Why communism does not work:


Communists are no better than all those other totalitarian oppressor in human history; what they call "equality", the promise of equal rights and freedom, only leads to equal misery and serfdom, the abolishment of freedom, the abolishment of dignity, and their "economical reforms", advertised as the road to social welfare and prosperity, increase poverty, ruin the economy, render the chains of serfdom heavier by making the people more dependent, and eventually cause mass starvation and shortages, communism, toward which all socialism tends, is the negation of civilization; a straight road to tyranny and hell!

Emmanuel Goldstein's book, The Theory and Practice Of Oligarchical Collectivism, is a fictional book which is an important element in both the plot and the overall theme of George Orwell's dystopian novel   more...Nineteen Eighty-Four, first published in 1949.

Orwell's novel describes a totalitarian society ruled by the all-powerful Party. Emmanuel Goldstein figures in state propaganda as the chief enemy of the state — a former Party member who conspires against the "wise" leadership of Big Brother. Early in the novel, Orwell introduces the concept of the book supposedly written by Goldstein: "There were...whispered stories of a terrible book, a compendium of all the heresies, of which Goldstein was the author and which circulated clandestinely here and there. It was a book without a title. People referred to it, if at all, simply as The Book." In the text of the novel, The Book is usually written in italics, although there are exceptions such as occurs in the Signet Classic Centennial Edition print of Nineteen Eighty-Four, where The Book is simply in a different font.

A heavy black volume, amateurishly bound, with no name or title on the cover. The print also looked slightly irregular. The pages were worn at the edges, and fell apart easily, as though the book had passed through many hands. The inscription on the title-page ran:
THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF
OLIGARCHICAL COLLECTIVISM
by
Emmanuel Goldstein

The protagonist of Nineteen Eighty-Four, Winston Smith, secretly hates the Party and Big Brother. Eventually he approaches Inner Party member O'Brien, thinking that he is part of Goldstein's conspiracy against the state, and at first it appears that O'Brien is indeed a member of the legendary "Brotherhood" opposing Big Brother. With O'Brien's help, Winston gets a copy of Goldstein's illegal tome, which according to O'Brien exposes the true nature of the totalitarian society created by the Party. It is required reading to become a full member of the Brotherhood.

The true title of Goldstein's book turns out to be The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism (Oligarchical collectivism is the correct political name, created by Orwell, for Ingsoc. It does not appear anywhere else in the book.). More than one tenth of the text of Orwell's novel is devoted to reproducing verbatim two long excerpts from The Book, as read by Winston Smith. Here Orwell sets out the back-story of the entire novel. "Goldstein" explains how the totalitarian state of Oceania, as well as its rival superstates Eurasia and Eastasia, came into being. This bridges the present of the original readers of the novel (the late forties) with the dystopian future world of 1984.

More importantly, "Goldstein" explains the political philosophy on which the totalitarian superstates are based. Since it is described as growing out of the authoritarian tendencies that manifested in the first part of the twentieth century, this part of the novel is actually Orwell's attempt at showing where the world of his present could be heading, if totalitarianism were allowed to continue developing towards its logical endpoint.  less

Open your eyes to the Council on Foreign Relations and their odd
relationship with top tier politicians. A powerful message in a small
amount of time (02:46) "In the time of universal deceit, telling   more...the truth is
a revolutionary act" GEORGE ORWELL
Great video! Ron Paul may be our last chance to save our country. Go
Ron Paul 2008!!!
When the People fear the Government, there is Tyranny.
When the Government fears the People, there is Liberty.
More accurately I think the invisible hand is that of the international
banking elite and the military industrial complex. Google Eisenhower's
farewell speech. The Rothschilds are estimated to be worth ~
$400,000,000,000,000,000.00 Trillion as quoted on British UK News. Oil
revenues are pocket change in comparison.
It's Not a WAR its .. ((A LIE))!
Straight up everyone has to face the truth no matter how horrible it may
seem... we have all been lied to and taken full adantage of.
Stand up for yourself!
No germans wanted to believe what was going on in their country
either.....wake up, do some research....don't for ANYONE in the CFR.
The deep pockets are against Ron Paul.
Contribute a little cash to his campaign and help get the message out.
Are one of those naive people who think that the US government is
magically immune to any corruption despite the history of world politics
emphatically proves just the opposite. You also deny facts when
presnted to you. All the CFR info is public yet you still deny it. Grow,
Disneyland is for kids.
The CFR is pushing for one world government and 4 of it's top members
(of which there are few). Have written openly that they will move toward
one world government or the North American Union with or without
consent. This means that they are integrating deliberate subversionary
treasonous influences in politics to bring down national sovereignty.
Now are all the members recruited made aware of all this in detail?
Probably not, that much is theory.

In the last 100 years, Governments have killed over 200 million people.

200 000 000 +

When the People fear the Government, there is Tyranny.
When the Government fears the People, there is Liberty.

Ron Paul is pro-freedom and wants to reduce the size of Government as
much as possible, and restore the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Please vote for him in 2008

I call out to all Americans to stand up to the oppression that these evil
men have in store for our Country! To DEMAND that those in Congress,
not under the influences of the CFR, to INVESTIGATE them! Freeze all
financial accounts of those who are involved, including all Presidential
candidates who are members, raid their headquarters and their homes
and publicly display any and all documents pertaining to their plans and
to throw those involved in prison for the rest of their natural lives.
Lets kick em all out and start over again.
I haven't felt this confident in years. We are going to take back out
country, I feel it in my bones.  less

" Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act. "

" War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere,
or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be
used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run,
too intelligent. "

" Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present
controls the past. "

" Political language - and with variations this is true of all political
parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists - is designed to make lies
sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of
solidity to pure wind. "

" If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what
they do not want to hear. "

" We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the
night to visit violence on those who would do us harm. "

" Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a
dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution
in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is
persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is
power. "

" Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of
life is happiness. "

" If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what
they do not want to hear. "

" To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant struggle. "

" For a creative writer possession of the truth is less important than
emotional sincerity. "

" Political language. . . is designed to make lies sound truthful and
