News Speak: Into the Memory Hole

Welcome to the Memory Hole

The title of this blog is derived from terms and concepts from George Orwell's book 1984, which tells the story of a man who dares to resist Big Brother and think independently. One key element of the story is the memory hole, where news is sent to be destroyed after the government demands that history be rewritten so that history is a continually changing record that always supports the claims and actions of Big Brother.

Here is where you will find newsworthy articles and analysis on recent events as well as retrospective breakdowns of history and how it perpetually shapes our present. You are welcome to opine as long as your comments are well-supported and you remain open-minded. Another blog worth looking into is by my friend James, who is a self-proclaimed news junkie and a politically-informed student.

Now that this first post is over, bookmark this site and return often.
