It was 1948 when British author George Orwell's alarming view of life in the future was presented in the chilling novel "1984."  Orwell inverted the last two numbers as he wrote about a society existing 36 years into the future.

Robert Kane Pappas brings the story forward 20 years to 2004, when his penetrating documentary "Orwell Rolls in His Grave" was released.  This is the year of a presidential contest between two former Yale University Skull and Bones members that resulted in what serious experts who have carefully studied the November presidential election concluded was a stolen result.

It is to be noted that rigged elections have been an active part of election machinery in dictatorships.  Pappas' film represents a stern warning about what would culminate that November, followed quickly by Skull and Bonesman John Kerry conceding to George W. Bush, later explaining that he did not want to be perceived as a "sore loser."  

The Kerry "explanation" reeked of absurdity on its face.  Four years earlier two deciding votes of the Federalist Society wing of the U.S. Supreme Court "installed" Bush as the nation's chief executive after thousands of African Americans in Florida had been denied the right to vote and Al Gore had secured more popular votes than his rival.
