"'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'"
This quote is a slogan of the Party and says a lot about the Ministry of Truth. The power that controls the way people learn about history in the past changes the way they think, and in turn controls the future. Also, the power that controls the present can change history and control the past. In this situation the power is the Party who is controlling the way its people learn. The Ministry of Truth constantly changes the history of the past and the present, so they control both the past and the future.
