Nineteen Eighty-Four is a rare work that grows more haunting as its futuristic purgatory becomes more real. Published in 1949, the book offers political satirist George Orwell's nightmarish vision of a totalitarian, bureaucratic world and one poor stiff's attempt to find individuality. The brilliance of the novel is Orwell's prescience of modern life—the ubiquity of television, the distortion of the language—and his ability to construct such a thorough version of hell. Required reading for students since it was published, it ranks among the most terrifying novels ever written.

The Ministry of Truth (Newspeak: Minitrue) is the ministry of propaganda. As with the other ministries in the novel, the name Ministry of Truth is a misnomer because in reality it serves the opposite: it is responsible for any necessary falsification of historical events. However, like the other ministries, the name is also apt because it decides what "truth" is in Oceania. As well as administering "truth", the ministry spreads a new language amongst the populace called Newspeak, in which, for example, "truth" is understood to mean statements like 2 + 2 = 5 when the situation warrants. In keeping with the concept of doublethink, the ministry is thus aptly named in that it creates/manufactures "truth" in the Newspeak sense of the word.

Step into the thought-provoking world of "War Is Peace," an artistic tribute to George Orwell's masterpiece, "1984." Through a captivating logo and poster design, this artwork serves as a poignant statement, challenging the prevailing narrative that advocates for war as a means to achieve freedom. In a society where media manipulation shapes perceptions, "War Is Peace" questions the distorted messages that perpetuate the belief that conflict is the only solution. This piece advocates for a different narrative—one that emphasizes the importance of freedom, unity, and peace over the proliferation of weapons and warfare.

1984 was a warning, not a guide book.

Here's a timely quote from George Orwell's 1984 about censorship and rewriting history to benefit the globalists: “Everything faded into mist. The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth.” Typewriter quote in black Harting font.

Die drei Parolen der inneren Partei prangen am Ministerium für Wahrheit. Ozeanien wird mit harter Hand regiert. Die Bevölkerung unterdrückt und kontrolliert. Die Gedankenpolizei überwacht jeden Schritt der Bevölkerung. Neusprache, die von der Partei eingeführte Amtssprache, ersetzt oder streicht schädliche Begriffe wie „Gerechtigkeit“, „Moral“, „Demokratie“. Fernsehgeräte, die den ganzen Tag den Staatssender zeigen, können sämtliche Wohnzimmer akustisch und visuell überwachen – zur Erinnerung steht „Big Brother is watching you“ auf Plakaten überall in Ozeanien. Kunst wird zensiert oder verboten. Die Geschichte neu geschrieben. Freie Meinungsäußerung und Bürgerrechte gibt es schon lange nicht mehr. All my designs and designs are made by me.

"Big Brother is Watching You" is not just a piece of art; it's a statement on the ever-relevant issues of surveillance and control. The stark color palette reinforces the sense of unease and the pervasive presence of authority, echoing the themes of Orwell's work.

In a dystopian, polluted, over consumerist, hyper-bureaucratic alternative present day, Sam Lowry is a low-level government employee who frequently daydreams of himself as a winged warrior saving a damsel in distress. One day shortly before Christmas a fly becomes jammed in a teleprinter, misprinting a copy of an arrest warrant it was receiving resulting in the arrest and accidental death during interrogation of cobbler Archibald Buttle instead of renegade heating engineer and suspected terrorist Archibald Tuttle because Buttle's heart condition didn't appear on Tuttle's medical files that were provided to Information Retrieval.

In the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell, the Thought Police (Thinkpol) are the secret police of the superstate Oceania, who discover and punish thoughtcrime, personal and political thoughts unapproved by the Party. George Orwell's concept of "thought policing" derived from the intellectual self-honesty shown by a person's "power of facing unpleasant facts".
