The Orwellian language is the most interesting part to me. "Affirm," in this case, meaning the exact opposite. This is such an obvious blunt-force assault on language, and yet the people at large don't seem to take exception to it. Have we all been this cowed in fear by the "educated" class that we willingly cede the plain meaning of words to them without so much as a protest?

We are truly a populace that is occupied by an adversary that is at once both everywhere and impossible to identify. And yet somehow they exercise unfettered power over us.
