In this talk, Paul George (Director of the Peninsula Peace and Justice Center, http://www.peaceandjustice.org) uses as a framework George Orwell’s famous themes of "war is peace", "freedom is slavery", and "ignorance is strength", as a way of examining modern-day America, which translates to endless war, the national security state, and propaganda (along with lousy journalism).
