The Party only had one rule, listen to the Masters. Obey its directives and do not attempt to think outside the mandates. The information from the Party would tell you who was evil, who to hate and how to act. Anything else was Obsolete.

I looked in the mirror and a stranger greeted me.

I asked myself, "Who am I?"

Propaganda is the key to power. If you turn a message into something enticing, you will garner the masses. The Party will lead you and educate your kin. We will tell you what to think. You will bear our mass media and every opinion will become fact.

The faded eyes, the blurred outlines looked back at me. And I knew.

"I lost myself"

We will tell you who your enemies are. We are your Fathers and Mothers. We are your protectors. We are your Masters. And you are sheep, and we are your shepherds. You live in an illusionary reality; your Freedoms are lies.
