Hahahah, er

Winston loathed this exercise, which sent shooting pains all the way
from his heels to his buttocks and often ended by bringing on another
coughing fit. The half-pleasant quality went out of his meditations. The
past, he reflected, had not merely been altered, it had been actually
destroyed. For how could you establish even the most obvious fact when
there existed no record outside your own memory? He tried to remember in
what year he had first heard mention of Big Brother. He thought it must
have been at some time in the sixties, but it was impossible to be
certain. In the Party histories, of course, Big Brother figured as the
leader and guardian of the Revolution since its very earliest days. His
exploits had been gradually pushed backwards in time until already they
extended into the fabulous world of the forties and the thirties, when
the capitalists in their strange cylindrical hats still rode through the
streets of London in great gleaming motor-cars or horse carriages with
glass sides. There was no knowing how much of this legend was true and
how much invented. Winston could not even remember at what date the
Party itself had come into existence. He did not believe he had ever
heard the word Ingsoc before 1960, but it was possible that in its
Oldspeak form -- 'English Socialism', that is to say -- it had been
current earlier. Everything melted into mist. Sometimes, indeed, you
could put your finger on a definite lie. It was not true, for example,
as was claimed in the Party history books, that the Party had invented
aeroplanes. He remembered aeroplanes since his earliest childhood. But
you could prove nothing. There was never any evidence. Just once in his
whole life he had held in his hands unmistakable documentary proof of
the falsification of an historical fact. And on that occasion --
