    Georges Orwell Vs Wells: whom do you prefer ?

    Found this article about the opposition of the two men
    orwelltoday.com/wellsconspiracy.shtml
    which refers to the non-fiction book of Wells: "The Open Conspiracy"
    mega.nu:8080/ampp/hgwells/hg_cont.htm

    "Is there a conspiracy for world domination? According to H G Wells there is, and he was proud to be a part of it. In 1928 he wrote the book THE OPEN CONSPIRACY describing the organization behind all the movements that have brought us to our present sorry state of affairs (ie mega-mergers, economic disaster, genetic engineering, loss of individuality and sovereignty etc etc)."

    "Orwell, the renowned journalist, came into conflict with H G Wells, the renowned writer. But as a boy he was attracted to the writer's immense imagination and read all his books. But when he grew up Orwell made an enemy of him by writing in Wells, Hitler and the World State (1941) that his old hero was "too old to understand the evils of the modern world". Wells, who was then seventy-five, did not appreciate the criticism. He responded by rebuking Orwell in a letter, referring to him as "you ****"."

    Very nice post with a ton of informative information. I really appreciate the fact that you approach these topics from a stand point of knowledge and information
    instead of the typical “I think” mentality that you see so much on the internet these days.
