"The Party told you to reject all evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command....

'Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.'

...

And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed -- if all records told the same tale --- then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past....' 'Reality control', they called it: in Newspeak, 'doublethink'. "

-Orwell, 1984
