I stare at two photos she posted over herself, unable to
tell which one is the real her, it either is – one, the happy-go-lucky gal she
most displays in the videos she posts, the other, darker, cautious, maybe even
scared, as if we have both traveled back in time to when she believe she had

In some cases, this came to pass – although in an ugly Orwellian way – as we still struggle to get off the face of the planet, and yet carry around in our pockets the fundamental tool for brainwashing – the cell phone. Rarely in my travels, do I encounter anyone without one. On the train, people stare down into their small screens to get their share of propaganda – almost all main stream media doing its best to make Orwell’s 1984 a reality. No wonder Facebook and other social media censor those who would provide an alternative vision of the world.
