This is our land.
A land of peace and of plenty.
A land of harmony and hope.
This is our land.
Oceania.
These are our people.
The workers. The striyers.
The builders.
These are our people.
The builders of our world,
struggling, fighting,
bleeding, dying.
On the streets of our cities
and on the far- flung battlefields,
fighting against the mutilation
of our hopes and dreams.
Who are they?
Traitorl Traitorl Traitorl Traitorl
They are the dark armies.
The dark, murdering armies
of Eurasia.
In the barren deserts of Africa and India.
On the oceans of Australasia,
courage, strength and youth
are sacrificed,
sacrificed to barbarians
whose only honour is atrocity.
But eyen as we grasp at yictory,
there is a cancer, an eyil tumour,
growing, spreading in our midst.
Shoutl Shoutl Shout out his name.
Goldstein! Goldstein!
Death! Death! Traitor!
Traitor!
Death!
Traitor!
Traitor! Traitor!
No! No!
"Innuendo" deleted.
"Intransigence" rendered as "Crimethink".
"Inyersion"...
Ref Times, 14l2l84, page three.
Byline two should read "Miniprod forecast
increase choco ration, April 1984,
from 20g to 25g per week. "
I confess to spreading the rumour
on orders from Goldstein
that the war is not really with Eurasia,
but with Eastasia.
And that for years, in fact
since the days of our glorious reyolution,
I had no faith in our future.
I forged goyernment announcements
and falsified figures
quoted for agricultural
and industrial production.
As a result of mental disturbance dating
from my experiences in the atomic wars,
I was a willing subject
of Goldstein's influence.
I was stubborn and egocentric.
When ownlife thoughts
occurred to me, I reyelled in them.
I went into the proletarian zones.
I had sex with prostitutes.
I deliberately contracted syphilis.
It was at this time
that I made contact with the Resistance.
I was personally contacted
by the arch-traitor Goldstein
and ordered to assassinate
Inner Party officials.
- Bugger!
- This I did.
and gained entry to the Ministry of Truth...
Thoughtcrime is death.
Thoughtcrime does not entail death.
Thoughtcrime is death.
I haye committed,
eyen before setting pen to paper,
the essential crime that contains
all others in itself.
...encouraging my agents to deface
party posters and announcements.
I read and memorised Goldstein's book.
For 30 years, I haye plotted
to bring down the Party.
I was sick in mind and body.
Together with my colleagues,
Aaronson and Rutherford,
I did counterfeit
important Party documents,
including ex-London permits
and trayel passes.
And that by use of these documents
throughout Airstrip One,
encouraging insurrection
and organising a huge counterplot
to destroy the innermost faction
of the Oceanian leadership.
Furthermore, I used my position
of priyilege within the Inner Party
to pervert and betray the truth at all times
and to suggest, whereyer possible,
that our traditional allies in Eastasia
were, in fact, our deadly enemies...
April 4th 1984.
I think.
To the past, or to the future,
to an age when thought is free.
From the age of Big Brother,
from the age of the Thought Police...
from a dead man,
greetings.
30-40 group, take your places, please.
Right, let's see which one of us
can touch his toes.
Right oyer from the hips,
brothers and sisters, please.
One, two.
One, two.
One, two.
One, two.
Smith. 6079 Smith W.
Yes, you. Bend lower.
You're not trying. Watch me.
There, brother, that's what I want.
Anyone under 45
is perfectly capable of touching his toes.
I'm 39 and I'ye had four children.
We don't all haye
the priyilege of fighting.
Remember our boys
on the Malabar front.
Just think what they haye to put up with.
- Morning, Smith.
- Parsons.
- Heard the rumour?
- No. Good news, is it?
I should say so, yes.
- Really?
- 25g next week.
Doubleplus good, eh?
By the way, Smith, I seem to have run out
of razor blades for some reason.
You wouldn't happen to have any spare?
I'm sorry, brother, I'm on the last one.
In 1983, Oceania's
coal output reached 630 million tonnes.
In 1976,
coal output was 605 million tonnes,
an increase of 4. 1 per cent.
5.3 million tractors were produced,
an increase of 17.6 per cent.
I wanted to ask you
if you've got any razor blades.
I've tried all over the place. I've been
using the same one for six weeks.
Did you see the prisoners
hanged yesterday?
No, I was working.
But I shall see it on the screens.
We'll pick up a gin on the way.
I'll have two.
Give me a gin.
2.2 million 0.5 Victory
recoil-operated heayy machine guns,
and 1.4 million lightweight
spigot-launching
antitank rocket projectors.
Food production is also up...
- How's the Newspeak Committee?
- Working overtime.
The plusbig wastage is in adjectives.
Plusbig problem is timing the language
to scientific advance.
Yes.
It's a beautiful thing,
the destruction of words.
You won't have seen
the dictionary tenth edition yet, Smith.
It's that thick.
The 11th edition will be that thick.
So the revolution will be complete
when the language is perfect?
The secret is to move from translation
to direct thought to automatic response.
- Language coming from here not here.
- Excuse me for intruding.
