News from Oceania: Big Brother is dead. Big Sister is now in charge. The
arch-villain Emmanuel Goldstein claims that Big Sister murdered Big Brother. Rumor has it that in future Two-Minute Hates, Emmanuel Goldstein will be replaced by Donald Trump and Harvey Weinstein.

Big Sister believes that since “Thoughtcrime” is “the essential crime that
contains all others,” sexist acts originate in sexist thoughts. Hence, the
Thought Police are to question all men with sexual thoughts about women.

Women who are members of Oceania’s Anti Sex League have agreed to help ferret out such deplorables, even at the price of leading them on. When it comes to helping Big Sister, they proudly say, “We’re with her."

The Ministry of Love and the Ministry of Truth have jointly decreed that Harvey Weinstein is to be stoned to death by actresses he made rich and famous but gravely offended in the process.

Gretchen Carlson, current chairwoman of the Miss America Pageant, who has
cancelled its perennial swimsuit competition, has been inducted into Oceania’s
Anti-Sex League with the rank of honorary colonel in the Marjorie Main Old
Battle Axe Brigade. bit.ly/2JrTUIb

In her induction Ms. Carlson was reported as saying, “Marjory was not sexy in a
swimsuit, but she sure was when she read her poetry and essays. In the future,
we want all Miss America contestants to look like Marjorie, to highlight the
beauty that comes from the soul."
