"David writes about MalignD's Doug" ...
The Hate had started. As usual, the face of Emmanuel
Goldstein, the Enemy of the people, had flashed onto
the screen. There were hisses here and there among the
audience. The little sandy-haired woman gave a squeak
of mingled fear and disgust. Goldstein was the
renegade and backslider who once, long ago (how long
ago, nobody quite remembered), had been one of the
leading figures of the Party, almost on a level with
Big Brother himself, and then had engaged in
couterrevolutionary activities, had been condemned to
death, and had mysteriously escaped and disappeared.
The program of the Two Minutes Hate varied from day to
day, but there was none in which Goldstein was not the
principal figure. He was the primal traitor, the
earliest defiler of the Party's purity. All subsequent
crimes against the Party, all treacheries, acts of
sabotage, heresies, deviations, sprang directly out of
his teaching. Somewhere or other he was still alive
and hatching his conspiracies: perhaps somewhere
beyond the sea, under the protection of his foreign
paymasters; perhaps even -- so it was occasionally
rumored -- in some hiding place in Oceania itself.
