Hahahah, er


Winston loathed this exercise, which sent shooting pains all the way 
from his heels to his buttocks and often ended by bringing on another 
coughing fit. The half-pleasant quality went out of his meditations. The 
past, he reflected, had not merely been altered, it had been actually 
destroyed. For how could you establish even the most obvious fact when 
there existed no record outside your own memory? He tried to remember in 
what year he had first heard mention of Big Brother. He thought it must 
have been at some time in the sixties, but it was impossible to be 
certain. In the Party histories, of course, Big Brother figured as the 
leader and guardian of the Revolution since its very earliest days. His 
exploits had been gradually pushed backwards in time until already they 
extended into the fabulous world of the forties and the thirties, when 
the capitalists in their strange cylindrical hats still rode through the 
streets of London in great gleaming motor-cars or horse carriages with 
glass sides. There was no knowing how much of this legend was true and 
how much invented. Winston could not even remember at what date the 
Party itself had come into existence. He did not believe he had ever 
heard the word Ingsoc before 1960, but it was possible that in its 
Oldspeak form -- 'English Socialism', that is to say -- it had been 
current earlier. Everything melted into mist. Sometimes, indeed, you 
could put your finger on a definite lie. It was not true, for example, 
as was claimed in the Party history books, that the Party had invented 
aeroplanes. He remembered aeroplanes since his earliest childhood. But 
you could prove nothing. There was never any evidence. Just once in his 
whole life he had held in his hands unmistakable documentary proof of 
the falsification of an historical fact. And on that occasion --
