Received the following dream from a sister the other day, and it is related to another thread I will post a link to. But it's about how the tricks the US Government is going to pull to rewrite history are going to make the minds of our children mentally unstable, and cause them to suffer from depression; something the Government will already be prepared for in advance, and have systems in place to watch what they log on to and interact with online. If they log on to anything looking for psychological or mental help, the schools will be notified, and they will told that they need to report to school for psychological evaluation.

Then you haven't read George Orwell's book
1984? or seen the movie at least? (
)
The idea is basically about a Communist-Socialist state. The worst example was the Russian Stalinist era. But after Stalin's death the Communist International changed their strategy to mostly disinformation against the West, because of the bad rep Stalin's policies caused (see ex-KGB Colonel defector to the U.S. Anatoliy Golitsyn's 1984 book
New Lies For Old.)
In Orwell's 1984, disinformation via a re-writing of history was instrumental in keeping the people deceived into their control system. The main character worked at a center that used a fake language (newspeak) where he was sent an old news story and was to remove the person's name in the story, and instead insert another person's name, change the wording of the article a little bit, and re-publish it, and destroy the old article. Then at times the person in the old article that was destroyed, winds up later having his confession as an enemy broadcast on the TV propaganda, and he is executed with the crowds cheering, etc. So it wasn't just a continual revision of history, but a continual revision of even the news. The chocolate ration in a news article he would change to a few grams more, and it became the latest news.
He eventually starts doubting the system because of ideas a girl he meets tells him. She shows him that there's a hoax going on with the system. He then visits one of the governing officials, and discovers the official has wine, etc. (while all the workers are on starvation rations). The system's propaganda TV network pushing deception of perpetual war and rationing is on 24 hours a day, is in every house or office and public speaker, and can't be turned off. He learns the official he met is able to turn his office TV off and is shocked. He is given a book by the official which is official propaganda, but hidden within each page is another thin page he is able to pull apart that actually reveals what the whole hoax is about. He learns there actually is no war going on, that that is a lie, and that there really is no shortages for the need to ration. He learns it's all a hoax for control of the masses.
Then he and his girlfriend are arrested, and they are tortured, with the official (played by Richard Burton) keeps asking him how many fingers he's holding up, and he keeps giving the correct answer and is further tortured until he gives a wrong answer or that he simply doesn't know what basic 2 + 2 equals. Sometimes 2 + 2 = 5 he is told. He is then released and seen in a bar defeated, brainwashed, having gone through something like what Communists call re-education via disassociation and propaganda.
In Mark 13, our Lord Jesus showed that some of us in Christ will be delivered up to councils and synagogues to give a Testimony for Jesus. He showed that delivering up may even happen by some of our loved ones having us delivered up, which is exactly what happened in Nazi Germany and the Communist nations. He was giving us that as one of the Signs of the end of this world. He said we will be hated by all men.
Mark 13:9-13
9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them.
10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for My name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
