Students for an Orwellian Society Ministry of Truth
Type: Just for Fun - Totally Random
Description: Students for an Orwellian Society (SOS) is a nationwide student group. Although SOS has always been a nationwide student group, there is evidence to suggest that it first appeared at Columbia University. The mission of SOS is to promote the vision of a society based upon the principles of Ingsoc, first articulated by George Orwell in his prophetic novel, 1984.
1. War Is Peace
-In order to fight terrorism, we must cause it, says Donald Rumsfeld.
-It's okay that there were no “weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq; that's not why we went to war. It's equally okay that there are so many of them in Oceania (commonly called the US and Britain).
-According to the Bush administration, the Duelfer report which conclusively showed that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq actually justifies the war in Iraq.
“I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace.” - George W. Bush, 43rd President of the United States
-“Protecting [an] Islamic cultural center” involves fighting a war inside it, as the New York Times on the Web shows.
2. Freedom Is Slavery
-The Anti-Terrorism Act ensures US citizens' freedom by ensuring the FBI's ability to examine their activities.
-If you are buying postage, do not ask for stamps without flags on them. Such would clearly be a sign of lack-of-patriotism, and we at SOS are glad to see that the Post Office is cracking down on it.
-While Victory Gin is not (as far as we know) yet available, the sale of freedom fries is an important first step; freedom fries and freedom toast are also now available in Congress. Also, check out Victory Beer, and W Ketchup
The truly Orwellian and praiseworthy Transportation Safety Administration gets our thanks for spotting anti-Americanism in passengers' baggage.
-On surveillance cameras: “The value we gain in public safety far outweighs any perception by the community that this is Big Brother who's watching.” - Ron Huberman, Executive Director, Chicago Office of Emergency Management
3. Ignorance Is Strength
-Osama bin Laden's messages will no longer be shown in Oceania. This will improve the strength of the bloc.
There is no dissent in this country. Those who disagree with President Bush are merely confused.
-The New York Times published an excellent piece of doublethink in its magazine section on Sunday 18 November. It is bad that Al-Jazeera fails to take American positions seriously. It is good that American media doesn't take Arab positions seriously. And all this from an Arab-American scholar who President Bush the First once called “more anti-Arab than the Israelis.”
-Government agencies are requesting that certain government reports be removed from public libraries. An excellent indication that SOS is having influence at the highest levels!
-The Guardian reports that PR firms have begun creating false citizens to try and shift the debate on certain key issues. Big Brother is certainly pleased!
-It's good to know that the recent pro-war rallies have been sponsored by Clear Channel-we wouldn't want people expressing their opinions without the help of media conglomerates!
-We're pleased to learn that the government has been removing information from websites which do not agree with the current administration's policies. For example, the CDC's website no longer points out that condoms are an effective means of stopping sexually transmitted diseases.
Thanks, Time Magazine for removing articles from your website!
-A recent study showed that thanks to Fox News and other Minitrue news sources, most Americans believe untrue things about the war in Iraq.
-“Those who cast the votes decide nothing; those who count the votes decide everything.” - Stalin
