Actual Newspeak name was Minitrue - Ministry of Truth (propaganda; sort
of like the US Information Agency)
to go with
Miniluv - Ministry of Love (Thought Police, prisons, torture --
"Corrections")
Minipax - Ministry of Peace (War Department -- i.e. a "Defense
Department" sending in "peacekeepers")
Miniplenty - Ministry of Plenty (rationing)
-- from someone who read "1984" when that was still comfortably in the
future!
Take care!
