Thank you! The 1984 comparisons wrote themselves once I saw how the ceasefire was used to erase the genocide from public consciousness while the charter was being drafted. Orwell understood that controlling language is controlling reality and that's exactly what the Board is attempting. Glad the analysis resonated.

Another stellar article. Great analysis of the Board of Peace's charter, great framing with the, very apt, comparisons to Orwell's 1984.

Excellent work -- clear recognition of the perilous present, cogent factual summation, and a plan to escape authoritarianism. All is not lost, yet, despite the overwhelming material wealth and military power of the colonialists and other forces of oppression.
