George Orwell’s fictionalized world where Big Brother reigns supreme is no longer a figment of the imagination, but a prophetic vision of present-day threats. Brent Bozell, founder of the Media Research Center, explains how and why Big Tech is making Orwell’s 1984 a 21st century reality.

Magda Goebbels: Downfall Beyond Imagination

Over the past few years, YouTube viewers are regularly entertained by a short portion of the German movie Downfall (’04).
Using a single clip from the film, these ubiquitous and frequently clever shorts show Hitler ranting at his generals as Russian troops encircle Berlin and seek out the bunker. The thousand year Reich has lasted but twelve years.
The YouTube videos substitute English subtitles that have no relation to the German dialogue being spoken in the film.
The comedy lies in the juxtaposition of Hitler shrieking in German about Jews, troop movements, traitors, and Germany’s destiny. And yet the subtitles have Hitler going postal over Obamacare or Benjamin Netanyahu — whatever subject is the target du jour.
