Students for an Orwellian Society

E.J. Dionne:

Do we live in a country where the president's representatives are authorized to read citizens' minds to determine who is suitable to hear his speeches?

Yes. Yes, we do. Which brings me to the Students for an Orwellian Society.

As to be expected, SOS has been quite successful. Since the events of 11 September, we have been able to convince a number of figures in national and local politics to help forward our aims. How could they do otherwise?



Our successes can be shown to fit into the three major ideals of Ingsoc as expressed by Orwell:

War Is Peace
Freedom Is Slavery
Ignorance Is Strength

They even host a handy

goodspeak news service which will “translate news pages about the present peace conflict in Eurasia into standard, Ministry of Truth-approved goodspeak”. You can also view the goodspeak versions of The International Herald-Tribune, CNN, or FOX News.
