IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: THE PARTY YEARNS TO SILENCE DISSENT IN CROTON, A LETTER FROM THIS WEEK'S GAZETTE

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON

The Party Yearns to Silence Dissent in Croton 

July 30, 2021

The following letter was published in this week’s issue of the Gazette.

To the editor:

“The Party” knows everything, and dissenting speech is quickly dealt with by government officials acting at the command of the leader, who presents himself as “Big Brother.”

That is the foundation of George Orwell’s classic 1984. Spend a few minutes looking at the news, and there are some disturbing parallels to our own time. But it does not have to be that way: before Croton gets to the dystopia of 1984, Croton may get rescued by “1983.” To read more, click here.
