Newspeak ... beware the revisions — LOL

Newspeak, the language of Oceania, one of the three large superstates, run by the Ingsoc Party(English Socialism). In America, we watch big brother, in Oceania, big brother watches you.

Ingsoc is stated to have originated following a socialist revolution, but as The Party is constantly rewriting history it is impossible to tell precisely how it occurred. It is known, however, that Oceania was established following the merger of the Americas with the British Empire. Big Brother and Emmanuel Goldstein were said to have led this revolution, with Goldstein eventually changing sides and turning against Big Brother. In addition to rewriting history, The Party is also constantly rewriting the language to restrict the true meanings of words and the ideas behind them, hence, “English Socialism” became the shorter and more esoteric “Ingsoc.”

Gearge Orwell, the futurist?

Hey don’t forget Soma.

As my 21 year old daughter whom is a student at Boulder points out, you have to be stoned to accept over the top government intervention in these liberal enclaves, thus they legalize pot.
