    Friend of TS Elliot and others, none of them with any official significance to where you are pointing sidious. It is also pointed out in various biographies that he was involved with MI6, perhaps partially because his knowledge of wich prominent, one being Charlie Chaplin, people was pro-communist.
    He was against communism, zionism and nazism. He was and is highly regarded by theosophists... but I give up, I havent found any real good clue after some serious digging on the net, i cant get what you are pointing at. How did he gain the knowledge to write stuff like "1984"?
    You like to play hide and seek, huh? Well this game of yours has a lot of seeking and hiding alright.

    There is no wisdom to be gained by you or any of us by having things handed to them on a plate.
    If I told you, you wouldn't have read what you have, would you?
    I will give you a hint, wolves in sheeps clothing.

    Nugget, had to look that one up too...
    "In Scotland, a nugget means "idiot" in it's purest term. You can use nugget in both an offensive and friendly context.
    Offensive: "Whit u lookin at, ya ****in nugget"
    Friendly: "Aw, dinnae be a nugget man, lets gan get some drink"

    Or

    "A person with no arms or legs."

    I´ll go for the first example then... in the friendly context.

    Just finished re-reading 1984 after reading it as a teenager. It is unnerving in its accurate portrayal of todays society. Orwell, Huxley and HG Wells in my opinion was privvy to agendas and global strategies reaching into current times. If any Avalonians have not read 1984 I strongly urge you to read this wonderfully prophetic book.

    Interesting, I always wonders what the Douglas-Coldwell Foundation in Canada was about. I did not know about the Fabian society. I must say that Canada is a social democracy but did not know it had been influenced by a British Society. Corrected: Before Harper and the Conservative

    Widipedia:
    Quote The Douglas-Coldwell Foundation is a Canadian think tank devoted, in the words of its slogan, to "promoting education and research into social democracy." It was founded in 1971, and is based in Ottawa. The Foundation was named for and inspired by Tommy Douglas, the first federal leader of the New Democratic Party from 1961 to 1971, and M. J. Coldwell, leader of its predecessor Co-operative Commonwealth Federation from 1942 to 1960. Both had desired a Canadian counterpart to the Fabian Society.
    The foundation board:
    Board of Directors
    Honourary Patrons Allan Blakeney
    Ed Broadbent - The new opposition party , he was its leader for quite a while, social democrats
    Shirley Douglas
    Howard Pawley
    Term
    Board of Directors David Mackenzie, President to 2011
    Jesse Brady, Vice President to 2012
    Anne Scotton, Executive Secretary to 2013
    Pat Kerwin, Treasurer to 2011
    Tessa Hebb, Past President to 2013
    Erin Armstrong to 2011
    Kealey Cummings to 2013
    Phyllis Dietrich to 2012
    David Illman-White to 2012
    Howard Leeson to 2013
    Alexa McDonough to 2011
    Diane O'Reggio to 2013
    Peter Stoffer, MP to 2012
    Dick Proctor to 2013
    Lynn Williams to 2011
    Kevin Wright

    Not that powerfull in Canada. Lord Sidious, what is the link between the FAbian Society - Goerge Orwell, China, Bin Laden? This is quite opaque to me.

    Naboo? OK, must be number two then, haha

    Yes, this is an intersting ride. Lets continue.
    One can wonder if books and films like 1984 et etc are a bit like the chicken and the egg, wich comes first?
    Or are they being picked up by us, from our common subconscious? Or even being injected there to manifest in the future, by some malevolent beings?

    Edit:
    Latest find here

    "Orwell was introduced to the Fabian Society by his French teacher and lifelong friend Aldous Huxley. However, he later became disenchanted with the Fabian Society and it is now thought his book 1984 (a title chosen to mark the 100th anniversary of the Fabians) was really a satirical polemic describing the kind of world he believed the Fabians would achieve. The Fabian Society acquired and sealed the archives of Orwell when his second wife Sonia died some years ago. According to representatives of the publishing company Harper Collins, the Fabians will be in control of the "1984" copyright and name through the year 2025, and they have done their best to block unauthorized investigative research about Orwell's anti-socialist works. Even rights to Orwell's estate fell under control of the Fabian Society. "

    Eric Arthur Blairs father was a 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Freemason?
    And his dad was also a not so distant relative of Tony Blair?

    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.
    In 1952 Fredric Warburg became a member of the committee of the Society for Cultural Freedom (S.C.F.), an organisation established to 'promote Western culture and defend it against the communist culture of the East'.[4] The S.C.F. were to produce a cultural magazine, Encounter, which was later to receive sustained criticism when it emerged that much of the money used to produce the magazine came directly from the CIA.

    Thomas W. Braden, who headed the CIA's International Organizations Division's operations between 1951 to 1954, said that the money for the Encounter magazine (and Der Monat - another publication) "came from CIA, and few outside the CIA knew about it. We had placed one agent in a Europe-based organization of intellectuals called the "Congress for Cultural Freedom." (today Association for Cultural Freedom).

    Melvin J. Lasky became editor of The New Leader and, later, of the German-language Der Monat ("The Month"). Lasky had founded the latter during the Berlin Blockade in 1948 as an anti-Communist but Leftist, socially progressive journal which became one of the leading Germanophone highbrow socio-political journals for decades, incorporating essays and articles from many Western European and North-American, as well as dissident East Bloc intellectual figureheads, such as George Orwell, Hannah Arendt, Franz Borkenau, Thomas Mann, Arthur Koestler, Raymond Aron, Ignazio Silone, Heinrich Böll, Hans Sahl, Max Frisch, T. S. Eliot, Saul Bellow, Milovan Djilas, Richard Löwenthal, Peter de Mendelssohn, Hilde Spiel, Hermann Kesten.

    In the Anglosphere, Lasky was best known for his role as Editor-in-Chief of Encounter. He succeeded Irving Kristol, the original editor and founder, in 1958 and helped turn the young magazine into one of the most highly regarded periodicals in Europe. Lasky steered Encounter to represented the point of view of the anti-Communist, anti-Totalitarian Left.
