The Truth of the Sheep

People of Oceania,

I, Emmanuel Goldstein, write this blog to you, my fellow people. I have heard the tales about my disappearance and the rumors of my hand in The Brotherhood working against the Party and Big Brother. They are true. As you all know, I used to work hand in hand with the Party. But my eyes have been opened, and I hope to help more of you realize the truth like I did long ago. 

Even if my words are met with anger and hate, all I ask is that they are heard. Any attention is better than the ignorance we are encouraged to accept. Any emotion is better than none. Big Brother uses my face and words to force hate into your minds. Yet I wonder if some of you feel the way I do. Have you grown tired of mindless hate every day? Do you not wish to part with the uncontrollable violent rage of the mandated Two Minutes Hate? 

If, in the end, my pleas fall upon deaf ears, let my words dwell in your minds. I just hope that someday, the veil will fall and what I say will resonate with one of you. If it means I am heard, let my image as a bleating sheep live on. This is why I am writing my blog, Veritas Ovium, which means The Truth of the Sheep in a language that has been hidden from your memory. I will continue to share my truth and story as the sheep who got away from Big Brother. If I am found by the Party, I will have no regrets.

I hope to write again soon,

    Emmanuel
