Hillary O'Brien asks, "How many fingers am I holding up?"

The next time your so-called representative has a “town meeting” start a chant as they begin to speak … UNAPPROVED! UNAPPROVED! UNAPPROVED!

O’Brien held up his left hand, its back towards Winston, with the thumb hidden and the four fingers extended.
“How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?’
“Four.”
“And if the Party says that it is not four but five – then how many?”
“Four.”
*The word ended in a gasp of pain. The needle of the dial had shot up to fifty-five. The sweat had sprung out all over Winston’s body. The air tore into his lungs and issued again in deep groans which even by clenching his teeth he could not stop. O’Brien watched him, the four fingers still extended. He drew back the lever.

Winston’s crime is to retain a sense of an outside to the reality being dictated to him. He experiences the Party as requiring him to ‘reject the evidence of his eyes and ears’ such that common sense itself is ‘heresy of heresies’.

She is dressed in ALL BLACK … how appropriate … picture of Hillary entering to give her speech.

Poor Hillary, off her meds again thinking she is still important to the world. Tough, those advancing years. Her care givers are not doing their job.
