Background of George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair)

[Lord Sidious]

If you REALLY want to know the truth of this, research the background of Eric Arthur Blair.
There is a reason his books, 1984 and Animal Farm are so accurate.

Educated at Eton and Cambridge.......spawning ground for the elite. Is this what you meant?

They are 'accurate' because he was a man of considerable intelligence, observational astuteness and rigorous honesty; he could see the
emerging trends of Soviet Oligarchic politics, the bleak post-war pragmatism of Britain and the absence of what Gramsci called 'political consciousness'
in the masses-social control and hypocrisy are pretty safe bets when you think about it......

Look more into his associations.

Are they saying now that bin Laden IS dead, the next 911^10 would not possibly be attributed to this man but only by China? Quite a blatant in-your-face kinda message to Beijing, me think. Whoa! I see LA in the crosshair. Watch out folks!

As I understand it, seems that he was against totalitarianism and social injustice......1984. To me that is a sad movie, I was trying to stop watching this movie, but I watched all. I don't want to see it again. Not something that I would like to experience.

He was, that is why he wrote them.
The question I put to you avalonuggets, is where did he get the info for the books?

George Orwell was one of the most impressive writers/journalists of his generation who sadly died far too young from TB which he may have picked up when living 'Down and Out in Paris and London' - for those who have not read it - a highly entertaining read. The Road to Wigan Pier also examines poverty in Britain and is still relevant today. He did go to Eton but on a scholarship and was really not part of the ruling elite. 1984 is a bleak book and sadly prophetic. Orwell was totally opposed to totalitarianism and Animal Farm was a parody of Stalinism. For those of you who have done the London tourism thing - a plaque dedicated to Eric Blair can be seen on his very humble little house in Portobello Road.

One may think that he was a high ranking intelligence officer with political science background to be able to get his information.

No checking.. just a stab into the dark with my light saber.... since his last name is Blair I'm going to say he was in with the elite, through birth rite/ family orginizations . He didn't like what he saw or heard during his inclusions in things, so he wrote under a sudonym to try and warn the rest of the world what is coming. They liked what he wrote ( TPTB) and used his book as a template on how to go about getting the things implemented.?

[Positive Vibe Merchant]

I like your attempt DD.

Care to comment Lord?

BTW, many thanks to KT for the recent smashing of quality topics the last day or so.

Much Respect to you

Partially correct, the end is not correct, they did not copy him.
Keep looking around, I want you guys to find this yourselves.
It is not hard to find out.

Maybe information from his friend Tosco Fyvel (1907-1985). He was Jewish; his parents had emigrated from Vienna to what was then Palestine, where he was associated with the Zionist movement and had worked with Golda Meir. Orwell and he met in January 1940, with Fredric Warburg and others.

Golda Meir - fourth prime minister of the state of Israel.

He went to Eton, one of his colleagues was Cyrill Connolly(British writer) who helped him to publish his essays. Was taught some french by Aldous Huxley at Eton( who sent him a letter after reading his book 1984 congratulating him on how fine and how profoundly important his book was. He worked with Roger Mynors to produce a college magazine. He was an expert on ancient church manuscripts, was knighted in 1966 and married Lavinia Allington the daughter of Cyrill Allington head master of Eton and Dean of Durham.
