Sci-fi Fantasy and the Reality of Today

 I enjoy Sci-Fi themed TV, movies and books. I think most people do. Not the little green men with 3 eyes and foot long tongues kind, but theyour driving to work, and suddenly spill coffee all over your crotch, choke back the swear word’, and thenan asteroid, a spaceship or a foreign nation attacks or the zombie apocalypse happens---and life as you know it forever changes. I believe that I, like so many others, have actually picked up some survival skills from this particular genre of entertainment. Let’s face it, we ‘Dead’ fans totally know how to effectively stop a zombie without wasting ammo. And after 5 seasons, we might not even be squeamish about having to get it done.

Most of these kinds of shows or books are somewhat believable. And given the headlines of late, aren’t such a stretch anymore.

When Red Dawn came out in 1984, I was a senior in High School. The Soviet Union was the big bad. In reality, they were Communist-ruled. The reality was, being an American in the ‘Land of the Free’ was something to be proud of and we had just elected a strong America loving president. Today, Russia’s Putin is currently rebuilding the Soviet Empire and our president…well, he has done nothing but transform and destroy the fabric of America with every policy and pen at his disposal. It might not be the Russians that will invade small-town America. It would more likely be some Christian, Jew, woman, and homosexual hating Islamic faction that our government has allowed to flourish within our own borders. There are 35 training camps of these haters on our own soil that we know of today.

After reading a book written almost 70 years ago, in a setting of 30 years ago, I see pieces of a puzzle that show a pretty scary and real picture. If I had read the book Nineteen eighty-four in 1984, I would have considered it pretty farfetched. Today, not so much.

The book has The Ministry of Truth, (Oceana’s propaganda machine) we have CNN, MSNBC and yes sometimes even FOX, spouting lies and misinformation.

The novel has the Thought Police. It is the job of the Thought Police to uncover and punishthought crimesor free thought.

The novel also had Big Brother on the telescreen monitoring every move, and communication you make. We have the NSA. It really doesn’t matter the depth that our government actually surveys on your life, it is worse than you can imagine.

And you think this could never be a realityBut 2 years ago, then-Mayor of New York City, Bloomberg said this, “…And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.” Read more at...

That means everything is on the table for these people.

Just this week, a presidential candidate, (Oh God, please help us), Hillary Clinton even said, “Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will,” she explained. “And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs, and structural biases have to be changed. As I have said and as I believe, the advancement of the full participation of women and girls in every aspect of their societies is the great unfinished business of the 21st century and not just for women but for everyone — and not just in faraway countries but right here in the United States.”

The Supreme Court, right now is deciding if ultimately many Evangelical churches will be forced to perform gay marriages. The outcome will be a game changer for many Bible believing churches. Who will cave in favor of the All-mighty dollar that comes with being tax exempt? We will know soon.

I digress.

Monday, I am listening to the radio, and a news update comes on, and I hear the Mayor of Baltimore say, "I made it very clear that I work with the police and instructed them to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their right to free speech. It's a delicate balancing act. Because while we tried to make sure they were protected from the cars and other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy the space to do that as well...."

My first thought was that this is kind of like Nineteen Eighty-four’s, Two Minutes of Hate. But then I realized that she must have recently watched The Purge: Anarchy, like I did two weeks ago when it was free on HBO. Because what she ended up condoning was a government sanctioned5 hours of mayhem.’ Of course, she denies saying it. (Sorry Sweetie, we have this thing called video and we gotcha). If you give theseprogressive leftistenough rope they will hang themselves with their very own words.

Speaking of death by spinal cord injury, when I was a kid I watched this movie trilogy calledA Thief in the Night.” In it that series, anyone that didn’t denounce Jesus and bow down to a One World government was decapitated. What are the odds that something like that will ACTUALLY happen? Oh, wait
