"War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength"
They are the Party slogans, and are written in big letters on the white pyramid of the Ministry of Truth.
"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."
The people controlling the present control everything and can ultimately change the past and, therefore; the future. Big brother controls the present. The slogan is an example of the Party's technique of using false history to deteriorate the psychological independence of its people.

    “And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed – if all records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became truth. "Who controls the past," ran the Party slogan, "controls the future: who controls the present controls the past." And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. "Reality control," they called it: in Newspeak, "doublethink” (Orwell 32).…

    One of the main questions of the novel 1984 is could Big Brother fall. There are many possibilities that contribute to the thought of the fall of Big Brother. Such as the way Big Brother pushes people around like Winston to make them want to rebel. One proven fact in history is that most totalitarian governments do not last such as Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union. The fact they are always at war with one of the other main super powers. "But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it? The proles themselves if realized their power could overthrow the party.…

    The first Sacred Principle that the Inner Party uses to achieve absolute power is the mutability of the past. Mutability of the past is the ability to change the past, at any time, to fit current events. By doing this, current events seem more believable and people become less aware of what is actually happening. The effect this has on the people living in Oceania is that if the past fits current events, then people will be less willing to question what the Inner Party’s motives. The Inner Party uses the slogan “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” The slogan is an important example of the Party’s technique of using false history to break down the psychological independence of its subjects. According to them, control of the past ensures control of the future and they control the present, allowing them to control the past. This control over the future leads them to their ultimate goal of achieving absolute power. The Party creates a past that was a time of misery and slavery from which it claims to have liberated the human race, thus compelling people to work toward the Party’s goals.…
