Video of the Day – Godfrey Reggio’s Haunting and Incredibly Accurate Prediction of Our Orwellian Future…from the 1970s

Screen Shot 2014-08-05 at 4.58.43 PMThere have been many artists, writers and intellectuals who were able to see the writing on the wall regarding our Orwellian future many decades ago. Several of them became so concerned they took it upon themselves to warn us of the dangers in no uncertain terms, with Aldous Huxley perhaps being the most prescient (see: Brave New World Revisited…Key Excerpts and My Summary).

A lesser known individual who also accurately warned us about the dangers faced of a totalitarian government/corporate partnership dead set on the destruction of privacy is filmmaker Godfrey Reggio.

Back in 1972 Mr. Reggio founded the Institute for Regional Education (IRE), which partnered with the American Civil Liberties Union in New Mexico to create a series of advertising spots purchased for television, radio, newspapers, and billboards that warned of the forthcoming technological fascist state.

Below is a haunting compilation of some of these ads:

  1. Maybe, like Huxley and Orwell were, he was yet another NWO script writer – as in predictive prophecy – seeding the psyche with what ‘they’ want you to see? Much more likely ,given what the ACLU and IRE stand for…

    • Do you have a source that identifies Huxley and Orwell as script writers for the NWO or is it your opinion? Just curious if there is a group who feels this way and would like to read more. This reply is not meant to be confrontational- just discourse. In addition what does the ACLU and IRE stand for and where might I read more about this? Thank you.

    • Nothing wrong with critical thinking by viasollertia. As you can read from the post it’s a question, not a statement.

  2. A great post Mike. I really enjoyed Mr Reggio’s sense of style.

    Wasn’t it Salon magazine that copied the image of the seated man with a TV for a head several years ago in one of their ads? A very creative and memorable image.

  3. plot twist; the new mexico aclu was a cia front organization used as a honey pot to attract self selecting liberals who would call up on the phone and immediately be put on a list of useful or possibly threatening individuals.

    so what did the new mexico aclu accomplish? they told us about the future 40 years ago? impressive.
