The Ruling Party of Oceania have implemented Newspeak to prevent political rebellion and ultimately free-thought. Speaking old words is illegal. Thinking old words is thought-crime, and gravely punishable. Historical records are altered by the Ministry of Truth and books are banned. Big Brother watches you. 2 + 2 = 5. Ignorance is Freedom.
