Today, Big Brother spoke: “Our former allies are now our enemies. Their workforce must be regarded with suspicion and treated like hostages”.

Minutes later, this photo and this message were shared and viewed by everybody in the clandestine net: “I don’t know who Julia and Winston were. I don’t know what happened to them. I only know I found this note in an abandoned building, when I was a child, and I’ve kept it ever since. So today, I want you to remember: “When society demands your hate, love is the biggest act of rebellion”.
