orange - a blog about orange

I realize that, despite the mounting evidence, some might be skeptical that the government would expend so much energy on something that, at first glance, doesn't seem to have any use. I hope this post will make it clear to these people that making everything orange (i.e., orangization) serves to benefit the country significantly, and in many ways. That said, I hope that you will agree with me that this benefit is not worth the loss of color in our world; and certainly not worth the lack of transparency in our government that has developed as a result of this campaign.

• Improving employee efficiency: studies show that employees spend over a hundredth of a percent of their time thinking about their favorite color. By removing all colors but orange, the government undoubtedly expects that employees will use this time more productively, thereby boosting the economy.
• Decreasing production costs: once society accepts that all products are orange (which by my calculations will happen within 125 years, at the current rate of orangization), production machinery can be designed specifically to paint or otherwise color the product orange. This means that extra steps in the manufacturing process that allow for multicolored output products can be removed, reducing costs. This effect is amplified when storage costs are considered: businesses will only need to keep material relating for one color in stock; for example, a car repair shop will only need to keep orange paint on hand.
• Secrecy: it is in the interests of government to keep as many secrets as the citizens are willing to let it keep. This is because a government aims to prolong itself for as long as possible, and secret defensive policies and structures are more likely than transparent ones to fend off influences that seek to destroy the government. Thus, orangization benefits the government in this respect because the secret agencies that have been established to support orangization will become the norm, and citizens will allow the government to keep more secrets in the future.
• Surveillance: once everything is orange, it will become very easy for the government to coat cities with a network of hidden cameras, since orange cameras will be camoflauged against the orange of the city. It will thus be very difficult for those opposing government surveillance to identify and destroy these cameras. Thankfully, the government cannot begin fully investing in orange cameras yet because they would of course be more obvious than other cameras until orangization is almost complete.
• Suppression of dissent: dissenting citizens may try to flee the country to avoid persecution by the government. However, they will find this very difficult once their eyes have adjusted to the orange color that will surround them. When they attempt to enter another country, assuming the other country has not itself orangized (in which case it is likely that the other country is already in allegiance with our country), they will be exposed to colors that they have not seen for many years (or possibly ever, if they were born after the completion of orangization), which will make seeing difficult for several days and decrease the survival probability.

There are many more benefits that I don't have time to cover, but this should give the general idea. At this point I'm sure you see that orangization is the logical and most likely explanation for the events I have detailed in earlier posts. If you know anything more about the government's plans, please get in touch with me, any information will be useful to stop or at least delay orangization.

They also have erected small orange pyramids outside my office. There are something like ten of these pyramids. The pyramids do have white stripes, but they are predominantly orange. I'm not sure where they came from, but I don't dare remove them for fear of retribution from the authorities. Regardless, it's clear that the pace of this orange invasion has rapidly accelerated in the last twenty-four hours.

Also I was not successful in getting access to the security camera. I believe my request for access was intercepted and blocked by the same government agency that is spreading orange; I will have to lay low for a while.

OK, this is getting crazy. I have a robot that I race around sometimes. The robot has white wheels. Today, the robot has orange wheels. The robot is kept inside a box kept secure with a combination lock, and there is no evidence of tampering. How is the government accessing my robot? They must have some advanced technology to detect non-orange objects and to make them orange; yet I have spent hours searching the world wide web and have found no information about how this could have been accomplished, and no conspiracy theories -- it's almost as if no one else is noticing the increasing amount of orange. I will try to see if I can access the security camera in the room where the box is kept to get more details on what exactly happened.

While walking home today, I saw orange chocolate. That's right, the chocolate was not black, not brown, not white, but orange. They are taking our most treasured tastes and modifying them to conform to the new orange world order, in the process destroying the diversity that we take for granted. All is not lost -- I went to the store and verified that they still sold some chocolate that was black in color -- but all will be lost soon if we do not act soon. I was unable to further investigate the means they are using to enforce such conformity, because I ate a piece of the orange chocolate and was afraid that this triggered an alarm (if you do not hear from me again, you know why); but I'll be sure to make more detailed observations tomorrow, there may yet be a way to fight back.

Today I realized that orange is taking over the world. I believe it is a government conspiracy to reduce costs, since if everything is the same color then things can be more easily mass produced. There are orange cones all around me, and every Rubik's cube that I see has one face colored orange. I will post more evidence later.
