Quote:
"The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not
interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in
power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness; only
power, pure power....We are different from all the oligarchies
of the past in that we know what we are doing....
Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a
dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes
the revolution in order to establish the
dictatorship....” (1984, p. 217)
Cell phones, laptops, Facebook, Skype, chat-rooms: all allow the
NSA to build what it calls ‘a pattern of life’, a detailed profile of a
target and anyone associated with them.
