Chapter One:
"In the vast majority of cases there was no trial, no report of the arrest. People simply disappeared always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word."
Explanation: I had to read it around two times to understand it. What i got from it was that the thought police was how it relates to the government as of now and the FBI is like that. The point of the thought police is to have everyone controlled and not fall out of place. They must have something hiding because they don't want the people to think about. It seems everyone has to watch out what they say or do. Everyone is defensive in everything they say do or act.
