As George Orwell said in 1984:
“If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say this or that event never happened . . . And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed— if all records told the same tale— then the lie passed into history and became truth.
‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future— who controls the present controls the past.’ . . .
In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record.”
