Keeping the population quiet by making pronouncements about the 'enemy'....

George Orwell from his personal experience, foresaw much of this in 1947 when he wrote "1984" - you should read it. I would not be surprised if it is not encouraged to be on US school reader lists...

"Animal Farm" was another product of life's political experience.

You should read both of these - or if it's been a while - reread them - don't bother with the film - except the full length (not cut down version) cartoon of Animal Farm - which is pretty close.
