Day 33 of the OmerIn George Orwell's novel 1984, the government is made up of four ministries. They are: the Ministry of Truth, the Ministry of Peace, the Ministry of Plenty, and the Ministry of Love.
The Ministry of Truth (Minitrue) is concerned with creating propaganda, controlling the media, manipulating historical documents, and producing Newspeak dictionaries. It supplies the citizens with various forms of media, which support Big Brother and the Party's agenda. (Source)A lot of people like to draw parallels between the novel 1984 and the present day.

Of course, truth has been turned upside down and that's where '1984' comes in. Language plays a big part in these evil schemes. When they take control of language, eventually it takes control of the mind. First the laguage, then the mind control. Wish our people would wake up and do teshuva, each to his/her capacity, thus, hastening the Geulah, because we surely need to greet Moshiach already!
