1984 and Beyond

I awake to the sound of birds singing.  A faint memory of my dreamworld still      remains, the feeling of being held under water at a FEMA " Re-education" camp.  I wonder if reoccurring  nightmares mean anything ?  Probably not.
     I'm so happy that Hitlary Clinton won the election.  The New York Times article "Uranium One Deal" that proved Hitlary's sinister ties to Russia turned out to be "Fake News" according to Hitlary.  Now I go to work at the factory wearing a collar around my neck that protects me and all my fellow citizens from "Terrorists".  All of the law abiding citizens wear collars that track everything we do, everywhere we go, everything we say.  That way all terrorists will be removed immediately from our peaceful society. The collar also gives an electric shock for those lazy workers of the New World Order who aren't doing their fair share of the work required by law.
    The government gives us all that we could ever want.  Shelter, food, and medical care.  Bicycles, guns, motorcycles, swimming, hiking, sports, Marijuana, even bouncing on a Trampoline are too dangerous for a good, productive citizen of the New World Order.  Cars aren't allowed because of Global Warming ! 
     It's the law for women to be a hard worker AND stay pregnant.  No evil sex allowed, just artificial insemination from genetically superior males.  It's so important to have a genetically pure race.  The hard, 16 hr. per day, 7 days per week factory labor has a high turnover rate.    Lots of workers have to be permanently replaced. The need for a constant supply of New World Order babies never ends!  
    The government censors all movies, news, and schooling to promote peace and tolerance for all.  The two movies we are allowed to watch "World Peace" and "Evils of Free Enterprise"  are my favorite.  Under Obamacare,  after age 45, everyone is taken to the "Healing Hospital", never to be seen again. 
    The sound of birds singing reminds me of a time long past, but I can't remember it.  Something about a U.S. Constitution ? That's ok, I'm a proud member of the New World Order !

My husband is here in the office at the other computer reading news of the day about Trump and his children invading the White House and swearing under his breath. And reading how the elderly are getting pissed off to know their retirement plans are gonna fizzle out under Trump. Hitler comes in many forms!!! I think the New World Order will start to look good to everybody after a year or two. haha

hahaha. OH, Bruce. I enjoyed your humor however misplaced it!! Here is the biggest joke of all. The woman in whose contest you have probably entered this already is a Hillary fan and despises Trump. Joke is on you, my good friend!! The chance of you winning this contest is the same that we have for success as a nation under Trump (but I sincerely hope you will win and then maybe this nation will have a chance to be ok after all!) OH BOY how do we stay friends, my good guy pal??
