In accordance to the principles of doublethink, it does not matter if the war is not real, or when it is, that victory is not possible. the war is not meant to be won. it is meant to be continuous. the essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labour. a hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. in principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. the war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects, and its object is not victory over eurasia or eastasia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.

Mornings at blackwater" for years, every morning, i drank from blackwater pond. it was flavored with oak leaves and also, no doubt, the feet of ducks. and always it assuaged me from the dry bowl of the very far past. what i want to say is that the past is the past, and the present is what your life is, and you are capable of choosing what that will be, darling citizen. so come to the pond, or the river of your imagination, or the harbor of your longing, and put your lips to the world. and live your life.
