I By Leon Sinister I've just finished reading George Orwell's " 1984" for the third time and appropriately so, because this is an election year where, predictably, everything the aspiring candidates say is almost exactly die opposite of whitt they would have liked to say. Orwell's writing included such words as doublespeak, newspeak, unpersons, and unexist, among others, and his book was filled with invented cliches and slogans which were tremendously "Big Brother is watching you" has become a standard quotation used by people of all nations - and talk about political rhetoric uid candidates dodging die issues think of the slogans Orwell used in his book. War is Peace, Slavery is Freedom, Ignorance is Strength. If these aren't typical present-da- y political statements then I'm the next Ambassador to Upper Slobbovia. Richard Lederer, noted linguist authority, talks about "dishonest language" Mien he refers to politicians.' A good term, I think, because that's what most of them use. Have you ever heard any of them answer - directly - the question they were being asked? They never da They artfully (to them) divot the direct qittttfMttWPW quifitfclarKf talk about it Orwell's style of writing was prose a more direct method of expression - that came directly to die point In fact, probably his most im- -, portant contribution to the world of literature' was that he alerted us to tell f. the truth and not use words with which to lie. Politicians label some of their statements as "inoperative", when what they really mean is "Don't believe what I told you then, believe What I tell you now." (Simply put, it means, "I lied.) , , . Written in 1948; the author simply reversed the last two digits of the year to produce the title ,1984", and perhaps the title should have been 2084 or some other year yet still in the. future because the year it talks about has come and gone, land with it the readership of the book. Therefore, if the book had been entitled a' later year, chances are people would still be avidly reading it, and rightfully so, because of its accuracy of what is occurring on a daily basis. It was such a tremendously projected look into the' future that it was almost clairvoySntOrwell wrote, "Political language.. .is deigned to make lies truthfurand fhurder and to give an appearance Of solidity to pure wind." His projec- of doublespeak are hncanhy. The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) has identified thdusands-odoublespeak examples since . 1984, i.e., Instead of being fired, workers' are "reclassified" or "nonre- -, . tained". And there are no "new taxe", No.it's "revenue enhancement" sometimes called "user's fees." The invasion of Grenada, for example, was n called "a vertical insertion"., 4 , used as hostages and human shields in Iraq and Kuwai were People called "foreign guests" by their Iraqi "hosts". Carried to the extreme (and total misuse), according to Mr. Lederer, was an incident a few years ago when an ambassador to the United Nations counseled the Arabs and Israelis . to "sit down and settle their differences film good Christian gentlemen.!' The system has been using wrong approaches and methods of speaking for! so long that it appeals unable to help itself, 'because ifs becoming a proven tool for gaining absolute power. Absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely, and when power is used for the sole purpose of showing who has it; then It is rarely, if ever, used for the benefit of its subjects. Orwell's bode Showed that when rulers want to change history, they destroy all old books, and replace them with new ones. That, sadly, is what is happening in today's world with the concept of truth. ,, , Today, in most of our political contests, we're hearing stories of what should - ideally have happened, but they differ greatly from what truth-foll- y happened, at the time that it happened.
