The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon. And
since the party is in full control of all records, and in equally
full control of the minds of its members, it follows that the past
is whatever the party chooses to make it. Six means eighteen,
two plus two equals five, war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance
is strength.
-- George Orwell (1903-1950), "1984"
