A book written by George Orwell in 1948, the title is simply derived from flipping the last 2 digits of the year it was written (1948/1984) and has nothing to do with when it is all supposed to take place. The book is mostly used to show the governments ability to control what you think simply by simplifying language. For example instead of bad there is only ungood. This stops society from thinking and only obeys what the government wants it to. And if you pay attention to the evening news you may notice this slowly happening when they talk about things and you have no idea what they mean.
1984 is a masterpiece in literature and also is considered a great warning to all societys if you believe everything you see on tv or hear on the radio.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
