I have listened to enough of Alex Jones' show on Prison Planet Radio that I'm afraid I might begin to sound a lot like him. Or it may be the latter coupled with the fact that the reason his show resonates with me is because its themes are appropriate for our time.
Recently, he talked about the conflicting currents of the fictional world of George Orwell's 1984 and the revolutionary philosophy of the founders (1776), concluding that the subtle co-option of individuals and their tacit obedience to authority run contrary to the spirit of the American Revolution.
One point he so eloquently made was that the more we resign to the stripping of our constitutional rights, the less authoritarian the government would seem to us, as what used to be reprehensible would seem tolerable and acceptable, attracting less and less opposition.
If a repugnant and abusive act by a government agent provokes little or no emotion, or if many are quick to justify it, then you'll know we are already in 1984...
