If the Party [today’s Leftists and Demokrats] could thrust its hand into the past and say of this or that event, It never happened—that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death. … And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same lie—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.”
Eric Blair (aka George Orwell), 1984
