George Orwell in his dystopian novel 1984 introduced the concepts of “Newspeak” and “Thoughtcrime” or the curtailing of freedom of expression, narrowly defined.
Orwell’s depiction of an authoritarian society continues to reverberate four decades on.
We live in an age of fear brought about by disinformation, amplified by absolute tyranny. This is demonstrated by the COVID-19 crisis where free press and free speech are being outlawed.
Is this the kind of “democracy” we are passing on to future generations?
Global Research acts as a global platform for much needed debate and dialogue within the context of a very complex crisis. We have in the course of the last two years provided daily coverage and analysis of the COVID crisis, which is affecting people’s lives worldwide.
Our intention is to continue to relentlessly promote independent and authoritative voices that speak out on issues which are deliberately neglected or distorted by the corporate media.
To deliver on this intention, we need your help. Please support us: donate or become a member now by clicking below.
