Government Spying

I was working at my job, as I came across an article on government spying in America. Click here to read it. It really caught my attention as soon as I read the title"The Government Is Spying On Us Through Our Computers, Phones, Cars, Buses, Streetlights, At Airports And On The Street, Via Mobile Scanners And Drones, Through Our Smart Meters, And In Many Other Ways". I tried to keep my face expressionless so that no one will suspect me doing thoughtcrime. This so called country "America", does seem to have more freedom than us. But, nevertheless their privacy is still invaded. Americans have these gadgets called "cell phones", it seems to be some sort of thing to communicate with and can also be used for entertainment. Anyways, by just using your phone, the government can track you. It's almost as if they had a GPS on them. How messed up is that? The government can also see what you have researched online. I just hope that Big Brother doesn't get any ideas from this. Although, if i had to choose between Oceania and America, I would choose to live in America. It also says that their government can spy on them through their electronics' webcam or microphone. It reminds me of a telescreen. It disgusts me how corrupted governments are now a days. What has the world become? Our privacy should not be invaded! It's called private for a reason. Seems to be that the government spies on the citizens whether or not they are a developed country.

Do I HATE Julia?

Two Minutes Hate, its purpose is for Party members to express their hate towards enemies of Oceania, mainly towards Emmanuel Goldstein. I can't help but jump in the bandwagon and hate him too. Later I realize that my hate is more towards Big Brother.

 It was during Hate Week that I first actually acknowledged O'Brien and the beautiful girl I’m having love affairs with, Julia. I HATED Julia. It is prohibited for the citizens of Oceania to have a sexual encounter unless your intentions are to have a kid that will serve as a Party member. I hated Julia because she was sexless. I wanted her. But, I've come to realize that she isn't a stuck up obedient spy, she isn't a citizen that fully worships Big Brother. My feelings towards her are mutual, as it says in her note.

  Of course we aren't able to have sex for pleasure anywhere. Why? Because BIG BROTHER IS ALWAYS WATCHING. Is the purpose for all the posters with Big Brother on them supposed to make me feel protected and secure? Because that’s certainly not the case. My privacy feels invaded, I feel overwhelmed. So that’s why I found a place where there are no telescreens, the room I rented. I am aware of my rebellious acts. It does worry me that I will be captured and tortured, possibly even killed. I know it’s for the best if we just stopped, but we can’t. This urge to be with her is too strong. She is my reason to keep living. So I say DOWN WITH BIG BROTH-

Introduction

Hello, welcome to my blog. I am aware of performing thoughtcrime, it's not the first time though. I had kept my journal entries in my diary, just for myself. But, I believe there are others who are also against the Party. I can't be the only one. Either way, it is only a matter of time before I get caught. It will happen sooner or later. If you didn't already know, I forgot to mention my name is Winston Smith. I am 39 years old, and I work for the Ministry of Truth. I censorship records and information. God, I feel so guilty for doing this. It's overwhelming, but I cannot help it. It's frightening.
