Big Brother Is Watching You: THE ASSAULT ON PRIVACY! - Stanley R Rader & Keith W Stump - May 1979

Stanley R Rader & Keith W Stump

Increasingly, the government and the news media are intruding into the personal lives of private citizens. Tacit acceptance by an apathetic public of illegal and unethical surveillance practices is pushing us ever closer to the nightmare world of 1984! You had to live in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized." That is the frightening world of George Orwell 's 1984-a world where two-way "telescreens" and unremitting surveillance make solitude an impossibility, privacy a punishable crime. It is the government of "Big Brother," a government that pries into all aspects of citizens' lives. It is also a world which lies nearer at hand than most of us would like to admit. It is a world which many well meaning people are unwittingly helping to usher in. Our lives today are increasingly becoming an open book. No one lives a truly private life anymore. We are being watched, scrutinized, examined. We live in a goldfish bowl. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
