The technology has improved and the language is different, but the message is the same.
If George Orwell was alive today, what would he think of the ease with which American society mutated from democracy to fascism? The Ministry of Truth turned out to be unnecessary. Because it shares an extremely radical left wing ideology with the Leader, the Media willingly rewrites history to suit his needs. Since teachers compete to instill in the young adulation for Big Brother, the Ministry of Love is redundant. What about the Ministry of Peace? With a President ready to surrender to any bully on the planet, who needs one. In the Treasury and the Fed, Obama does have a Ministry of Plenty, whose job it is to explain to the dumb masses how the next cockamamie social experiment will produce prosperity, even though all prior experiments have failed miserably.
