“It’s Like George Orwell’s Animal Farm….” | Peter Hitchens' Half Hour

The only thing that George Orwell got wrong was underestimating just how bad things would have gotten

[@sovereign_paul]

He didn't realise his insightful warnings for humanity were going to be used as a guidebook

[@pussypostlethwaitsaeronaut8503]

It should be got rather than 'gotten'. The past participle of 'get' in English, as used in UK, is 'got'; the past participle of 'get' in American English is 'gotten'. Therefore it should be 'things would have got' ‒ not 'things would have gotten'. Inflections of 'get': past tense ‒ got, past participle (English) ‒ got, (chiefly American) ‒ gotten. ❤xx

Try reading all of Orwell's books rather than just '1984', before coming on the internet to tell us what he got wrong or right. Beginners' tip? He was a journalist, not a prophet, and if he tried to predict the future, he didn't do a very good job.

Parading around Capitol Hill with American flags ( with not even one gun ) for a couple of hours before leaving, hardly constitutes a serious takeover of a country. But some people would want you to believe it. NB: Dozens of the protesters were imprisoned for over a year in horrible conditions.

[@sqae8398]

Many were imprisoned for longer than 2 years and people have received 4 year prison sentences for just being there. If people didn't realize that the J6 hoax was an FBI operation, I don't know what to say. That type of hoax is a common practice in the US and is performed to let people know that you do not go against the establishment. The fraudulent "insurrection" narrative was planned prior to the event and was governemnt theatre from the get go.

[@jimbrown3766]

@@Craig-ls6rv Jan 6 was infiltrated by provocateurs, agents (Epps) and the left including BLM activists such as John Sullivan (first person arrested) who bragged online about going undercover as a fake Trump supporter to stir the pot. Someone internally unlocked the magnetic doors and the police waved the people in. Pelosi/Bowser rejected Trump's request for thousands of National Guard members and he said go "peacefully and patriotically" which the mainstream media often removes, Jan 6 testimonies de-bunked within minutes, just like the Russian collusion hoax and every other lie about Trump. And, those several hundred people who were unarmed and broke a couple windows is considered a coup. In comparison: "there will be blood in the streets” - Loretta Lynch “Who says protests have to be peaceful “ - Chris Cuomo “There needs to be unrest in the streets” - Ayanna Pressley “Protesters should not give up” - Kamala Harris “ I just don’t know why they aren’t uprising all over this country “ - Nancy Pelosi “You get out and create a crowd and you push back on them, tell them they are not welcome “ Maxine W” These words led to the violent overthrow of the government in Seattle? Occupation for several weeks including federal buildings, burning! looting! and 37 murders, 28 non-fatal gunshot wounds,16 injuries from other attacks, 2 other attempted murders and 8 other related deaths.

I have just been informed of another increase in my utility bills up from 87 pounds per month to 250 per month. This isn't funny, clever or affordable.

Furthermore, Peter, the secretary of state at the time of the Obama administration (Hilary Clinton) took an active role in using diplomatic bag and other such surreptitious black budget activity to fund and promote the active hostility and rioting and instability which removed the Ukrainian president. It is said that this has significant bearing on Putins dislike of her as well as his relative attitude towards the west in the current Ukraine crisis.

Putin has been planning a reunification of the USSR states for decades. Ukraine threw a stick in that plan during the Euromaidan. Putin's puppet was deposed, and that made him really mad. But it was inevitable, he was openly selling his country out to Russia. Clinton, and anyone who has ever listened to Putin speak about NATO or the former soviet states would know what Putin's plans were. He openly admits his intentions.

Lord Hague wasn't 'misinformed'. He was lying. Stop being polite to spare the blushes of our so called betters.

“It was a country that lacked cohesion. It depended upon foreign arms, foreign money and foreign political will. Once deprived of these it faced its foe alone, and the mirage rapidly evaporated.” US Secretary of Defence Schlessinger talking to journalist James Schell about South Vietnam in 1975. Sounds rather redolent of a country in Eastern Europe today…it’s on the tip of my tongue. Peter’s right. The US-backed coup of 2014 is our Franz Ferdinand moment, and as Kennedy warned in 1962, you cannot back a nuclear-armed power into a corner and expect it to accept a humiliating defeat. We’re facing thermonuclear war as one nuclear-armed power or the other is going to find itself in that unacceptable position sooner rather than later. And this is why I’ve become a raging alcoholic. Since we have no statesmen worthy of the title in the West, and none at the UN, indeed, they’re more bothered about global boiling, we’re doomed to the mother of all nuclear winters.

I don't understand how some one like Peter Hitchens can be so WRONG about the war in the Ukraine.

So the west stated quite plainly that if the Ukraine were to disarm then if Ukraine was threatened again then NATO/ the WEST would defend them. Guess what when Russia invaded the west/NATO went back on its own word, as one american general stated its better to have a proxy war than a world war and also its in Europe and that's not our concern (ie no oil).

He's not wrong, the catalyst was the United States sponsored coup. The US and the lobbyist corporations had been heavily involved in Ukraine, (Hunter Bidens oil company). The Ukrainians had democratically elected a government that didn't like the US and it's corporations and was leaning towards a closer tie with Russia. That's the reason this coup happened which caused this war.

The Hitchens all had a job to do. Best ignored, generally.

Having not read Hitchens text: The Abolition of Britain, perhaps it is your task to suggest the "job" of this particular Hitchens. Their father would have been proud of his sons, that I do know. Maybe you don't understand the inference that provoked you ? Moreover, you may just be what is regarded as a "normie"; someone who cannot comprehend the levels of skulduggery at play in the world. The choice to know is yours. Hope you have been inspired rather than enraged. Thanks for the interaction, I wish you well, and hope you ca, eventually, appreciate why people do not respect the Hitchens. @ayyleeuz4892

Very FEEBLE chat about legal tender, avoiding ANY talk about CASHLESS society. Deeply disappointed!🤦🏼‍♂️

There arent many British conservatives whose opinions on American politics I find particularly impressive and most are entirely uninformed. No exceptions here.

Imagine thinking you could have an opinion on the subject when you know nothing about it. They do *sound* smart though, well done.

[@dbarker7794]

"sound smart" That's all it takes. Well, that and being in the proper circles to be invited on TV.

[@danielbuxton4493]

Wrong on Yanukovic, too.
