Woops. I'm mixing up my ontological icons. Obviously I meant to say "George Orwell". Probably confused the two because they both started out being semi-socialists. HG Wells being a member of the Rhodes Roundtable thought it would promote social justice. Later he came to the conclusion that they just wanted to control the world like any power-mad group that knows whats best for us. Orwell fought in the Spanish civil war for the socialists and against the fascists. Later, he worked as a propagandist for the British ministry of truth during WWII -- eventually seeing his folly and writing 1984. ---- this moment in history brought to you by: The Hitler^h^h^h^hstory Channel All Hitler^h^h^h^hstory, All the Time we now bring you back to your regularly scheduled spam. jvb
