Abstract
In George Orwell’s famous novel, 1984,1 Big Brother kept 24/7 surveillance on all citizens of Oceana via a “telescreen” installed in every home, while the Ministry of Truth streamed in news and entertainment it deemed suitable for popular consumption. Should citizens harbor heretical thoughts, there was also always the Thought Police who, in the dark of night, would visit their homes in order to “vaporize” them, which included wiping out all traces of their past existence. The Ministry of Love was in charge of law and order, even though there were no longer any laws. And there was the “ultimate” enemy of state, Emmanuel Goldstein, whose diatribes against Big Brother were regularly broadcast, uniting citizens in hate and fear and in solidarity with Big Brother against this common enemy.KeywordsNational SecurityUnited States ConstitutionBush AdministrationFourth AmendmentConstructive ChangeThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
