1. The party mottos are War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength. They are unusual because they don't make sense and say that opposites are the same.
2. Newspeak is the new language that the party is creating. The purpose of newspeak is to create new words and eliminate all the "extra" words, so that people can only think what the party wants them to think; therefore, there will be no more "thoughtcrime."
3. The party wants to get rid of synonyms and antonyms because it wants to get rid of different shades of meaning and stop people from truly thinking. Instead of good and bad, they will have good and ungood. Instead of excellent they will have plusgood or doubleplusgood.
4. The party controls history by going back and changing all newspaper, magazines, books, and other types of media to reflect the current events and views of the government. They do this so that it appears that Big Brother is always right, and so that the government can get rid of people and make it seem as though they never existed. They mess with people's memories so that they will only live in the moment and not question the government.
5. Emmanuel Goldstein had once been a party leader, but had then been sentenced to death and escaped. He is now the most hated person in Oceania. He is presented as the "Enemy of the People," and is blamed as the source of all treacherous activities.
