Glenn Beck spent an entire episode on GBTV talking about George Orwell's classic book 1984. It is amazing to see what is happening in 2012 to monitor you and I with EVERYTHING that we do. If you haven't yet read 1984 you should. It was made into a movie in, of all years, 1984. If you haven't seen the movie beware that it has a "R" rating. Below you can watch all three segments of Glenn's episode featuring 1984 with guests, author, Brad Thor and "life continuity expert" Barrett Moore. Also during the show they talked about a few other books and they are listed below. Now we can see how and why "PRIVACY IS DEAD!"

Nineteen Eighty-Four (first published in 1949) by George Orwell is a dystopian novel about Oceania, a society ruled by the oligarchical dictatorship of the Party. Life in the Oceanian province of Airstrip One is a world of perpetual war, pervasive government surveillance, and incessant public mind control, accomplished with a political system euphemistically named English Socialism (Ingsoc), which is administrated by a privileged Inner Party elite. Yet they too are subordinated to the totalitarian cult of personality of Big Brother, the deified Party leader who rules with a philosophy that decries individuality and reason as thoughtcrimes; thus the people of Oceania are subordinated to a supposed collective greater good. The protagonist, Winston Smith, is a member of the Outer Party who works for the Ministry of Truth (Minitrue), which is responsible for propaganda and historical revisionism. His job is to re-write past newspaper articles so that the historical record is congruent with the current party ideology. Because of the childhood trauma of the destruction of his family — the disappearances of his parents and sister — Winston Smith secretly hates the Party, and dreams of rebellion against Big Brother.
