The short answer to why we will never have a global police state in the ‘1984’ form we all think of, is because we already have something infinitely more intrusive that George Orwell could have ever imagined in place right now (brilliantly insightful though his book was) – a system that tracks everything and everyone without the use of people – and more importantly to those with access to that information, a system that the average person thinks is perfectly safe and harmless – a system that makes the idea of a police state, or a cold war-esk (spelling?) network of people spying of their neighbours (yes this really happened and in many parts of the world is still encouraged), and the asking for your papers type of scenario from in the old days look like hard work.
Right now, almost everything – and I mean EVERYTHING about you, is already tracked and databased (not by 101 I hasten to ad – we have no interest in what is your private business and just want to help Christians and anyone else we can – really!). Every transaction you make that isn’t with cash (very soon to be abolished), all your health records (I was sent a letter from my GP asking if it was OK for my records to be databased by one of the large search engines which I will not name – I’ve heard many other people got no such letter) everything you look at online (despite what the browser says about ‘Private’ browsing), every email you send and receive, every TV show you watch, every holiday you purchase, everything you subscribe to, your global position on the planet (using your phone’s GPS) is tracked and logged on databases that can be accessed by anyone with the right credentials.
All that is ‘necessary’ now they tell us to ‘eliminate’ all global crime is to force all transactions to go through this existing computer network. I wonder how many of the dummies involved in creating and unleashing this system on the world realise they are creating something, that should it ever be abused by a small group or worse – a single person (as The Bible warns it will) there will never ever – ever be any going back.
This is the reason those ‘outdated‘ founding fathers were so hot on borders and limited power of government and organisations was the best way to deal with the hearts of men that they knew would never change without them allowing God’s Holy Spirit to intervene and work in their hearts and minds daily – because the Fathers had read their Bibles and knew full well that the hearts of men meditate day and night on schemes and ways to enslave, control and make merchandise of their fellow man. George orwell would be turing in his grave if he saw what we actually have as compare to his nightmare scenario in 1984.
I love God, Christ, The Bible. art, painting, playing music, improvising music, guitar (first instrument), drumming (not very good at it:), and anything musical or art related.
