Politics/Religion/Allopathy/Psychology/Crime.
In his classic, 1984, George Orwell selected certain
features of his society as a basic skeleton, then fleshed political fiction over
the bones. Many parallels between 1984 and the modern world have long been
recognized. In Orwell's Warning: The Greatest Amerikan Paradox, Erik
Blaire compares these features to the paradoxes of American politics,
violence, and religion. Finding they are inseparable, he proposes
that American freedom must therefore also be paradoxical. Armed with
clues derived by examining American schizophrenia, obedience,
disobedience, and paranoia, Blaire adopts as a factual skeleton
the historical puzzle of Francisco Pizarro's conquering the mightiest empire of
South America in one evening with a single boat load of men. Solving the puzzle,
he then fleshes in fiction a working model for the most important, yet most
neglected of Orwell's features, the central secret of Oceania. Blaire's
conclusion: Any society which is founded on, and therefore conceals a central
secret, must be characterized by a paradoxical or Orwellian state of freedom
just like The Greatest Amerikan
Paradox.

"This is a MUST read! If you care about the direction our country is headed
and if you have a burden for the lost people of this world you need to take
an afternoon to read this book. Pretty amazing Orwell called it to a
tee...truth is stranger than fiction! This clever piece compares and
contrasts Orwell's work while challenging the reader to keep aware and take a
second look at the status-quo...we all need to be wise as serpents and
harmless as doves. From here on out our freedoms may be ripped out from under
our feet and people will be too constrained by 'fear' to do anything about
it...the tactic of "playing the game" while making people wake up
by feeding them thought provoking scenarios is the only way to break the
social norms we see today and get people to think critically again. Find a
way to crack the code to awaken the brainwashed masses...the facts are out
there, go find them!"

"A
fascinating look at Orwell... and psychiatry. This
book provides a unique look at George Orwell, as well as a fascinating look
into one of the world's current greatest frauds - the psychiatric
industry. There is no other medical industry in the world that actually
votes to decide what is and isn't a disease, rather than looking through a
microscope. Blaire (a pseudonym) takes us on a journey from Orwell into the
depths of the psychiatric industry, drugs such as Prozac, and a look at
schizophrenia, obedience, disobedience, paranoia and mind control - and the
state of current affairs. It's a short, fast read, but nonetheless an eye
opener. "
"Other researchers that support the ideas presented in this
book include Thomas Szasz, and Robert Whitaker's new book Anatomy of an
Epidemic."
"The worst of what things could become if we're not forever
vigilant."
~ Jan
Irvin, of GnosticMedia.com, author of "The Holy Mushroom"
