Message To Teens

I have an important message to give out for all the teens living in the 21st century. I, Big Brother would like to remind you that, BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!! In the year of 1984, Winston Smith, the man who was sent into the Ministry of Love, was told by a man named O'Brien that he was being watched for 40 years ever since I had come into power. The party was watching every step and move he was committing throughout his whole life before we vaporized him. My message to you teens today, is to be mindful of what you do and say everyday. Be mindful of what you post on social media. Be mindful of your actions. Be mindful. At any given moment anyone from the government can arrest you. They will have ALL of the information from all your life. Taking it back to 1984, I knew exactly that Smith had written in his diary, had an affair with a woman named Julia & rented an abandoned room above Mr. Charrington's, etc. I have no clue in why I am giving out this message, I honestly do not care about anyone or anything. I am Big Brother and no one can defeat me of turn against me because the government and I have our ways. If you ever commit a crime we will end up catching you even if it is after 2 years, 20 years or even 40 like Winston. This message is just a reminder, you do not want to end up like Winston Smith...

Privacy In The 21st Century

As I continue to live and rule in the 21st century, my responsibility still remains preserving the history in Oceania. Going back to the year of 1984, there were many responsibilities taken into place in the Ministries. As I begin to think about the responsibilities I addressed back then, a certain event comes into mind… Around the month of July in 1984, a male by the name of Winston Smith was arrested for failing self-discipline and humanity. He was captured by a Thought Police who worked for me, Mr. Charrington. I assigned this man the duty to go under cover giving the image that he was against the Party and I, Big Brother. The few people that Smith encountered during his lifetime all had the idea that he was willing to go “Down with Big Brother.” During Smith’s time in the Ministry of Love I demanded torture to Smith by a person who he thought had the same opinion as him. This person was O’Brien, a man who convinced Smith that he was a part of a so called organization, the Brotherhood. He tortured him in an electric chair forcing him to say everything he knew and brainwashing him into an ideal party member. The whole situation was lead by myself, I had the say in every workers responsibilities. The reason for the undercover personalities and electric chairs was to preserve the societies privacy. In the society that I continue to rule today, these responsibilities are still taken into account. The government always wants to know the truth, but they know it won’t be told when their people are told to do so in that very moment. With this being said, government officials go undercover to find out the truth without the victim knowing until further do. There have been cases when the people know things that I don’t want being released, so I take hostage of the person and put him/her into a lying detecting chair to see what they know. Times have changed, the way I preserve the history has changed, but I, Big Brother have not changed...

Privacy & Government

What is privacy? In the world I ruled, there was no such thing as privacy. I wanted to be aware of everything that is happening. Whether it was with actions, or just a talk, I needed to know and did know everything that went on in Oceania. That is why I placed telescreens and mics everywhere to know how the members are acting. I didn't care about the proles yet, they were still being watched. I made everyone believe that they were the only ones not being watched owning the fact that the proles were animals with no rightful owner. I wanted to see if they took advantage of the “privilege” they had of not having telescreens everywhere in their sight, but hidden behind the walls without them knowing. I really didn’t support the fact that the Inner Party had the privilege to turn off their telescreen for a short period of time. For what reason would they turn it off? To commit a crime? NO ONE should, because there should’ve been nothing to hide whatsoever. For all that, technology has changed over the years as I have remained in control over Oceania. There are is no such thing as privacy still. Telescreens have gone out of use however we now have cameras and mics that are less noticeable to Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia. I, Big Brother, now allow anyone to choose who they want to be with and be intimate. Like I have states before, there is no privacy still. A few days ago, a woman discovered a video camera in her bedroom. It turned that the device was recording her during her intimate moments. I did not have control over that video camera yet someone else did. The government can listen to anyones phone call, bring up anyone’s text messages, photos, etc. The reason behind all this is to make sure no one rebels against the government. Although things have changed, the control over the information that the government produces has not. China and North Korea changes their history information as well. They do not alternate it but hide it from the rest of the world. As this happened in the year of 1984, the Ministry of Truth was wiping out all history that claimed that Oceania was at war with Eurasia and was in alliance with Eastasia. In spite the fact that  things have changed over the years I am still watching!

Propaganda In Oceania.

It is the month of June, I have put in preparations for the biggest Hate Week of all time in London.  The first thing I have demanded in action of Hate Week is all the staff members in the ministries must be working overtime fixing up everything, military parades, waxwork displays, processions, lectures, meetings, telescreen programs, and film shows. It must all be organized, and saying all good about us & bad about the rest of the world. Who cares? To add onto that, more history, photos, songs, and rumors MUST be fixed in the proper way. They are to add more posters around Oceania of me to remind them that I'm aware of everything and anything. I mustn’t have Oceania turn against me but against that horrid “Goldstein”, who is just a weak old man who doesn't having any meaning or history with Oceania. To me Hate Week is just meant to be a distraction for the people. I must give them something to hate, if they didn't have anything to hate they would find a reason to hate me. The reason for the biggest Hate Week that will be put into place is because I have gotten a note from a few of my telescreen and mic workers that there has been a rumor of this group that is willing to rebel and turn against the party.  I MUST NOT LET THIS HAPPEN.  What is the reason for them to turn against I, Big Brother, for I only do the necessary to have them hate “Goldstein”.  During the Two Minutes Hate I will be monitoring the telescreens for any people that show any hesitations towards the content we will be giving out.  Anyone who shows signs, will be immediately be vaporized without exceptions.  This is why I encourage the people of Oceania to take in my Victory products, weakening them strengthening myself having more power over them. Producing propaganda I have also sent out posters all over London containing a grotesque figure of a Eurasian soldier looking at a Mongolian face with a submachine gun pointed in his direction of his hip. This should get the men feeling patronized, woman in fear, and kids looking up rooting for war. Although, as they must know "war is peace" and of course Big Brother is Watching You!
