*The Ministry of Peace conducts perpetual war, but intentionally sabotages its own forces so that the government can keep the people of Oceania in a state of fear. This state of fear makes it easier for the Big Brother government to control the populace and cement their dependency on the "generosity" of the Party. In the book, Smith postulates that the rocket bombs dropped daily on Airstrip One are not enemy weapons, but a false flag operation by the government of Oceania to justify their continued state of paranoia and economic stagnation. Also ironically, in Newspeak, the Ministry of Peace is indeed the force behind peace, as explained in Goldstien's book.

*The Ministry of Love, or MiniLuv deals with those who don't love Big Brother. Another insight of Orwell's is the sinister redefinition of the word love, from traditional definitions to ones decided on by the Party. The Party's meddling in the bonds of family leads to a population almost completely ignorant of anything resembling real love. The Ministry is in charge of correcting the thoughts of citizens who fall outside of the political orthodoxy of the Party's Big Brother ideology. This comes in forms both small and large, from chastising a person through the television screen for not exercising enough, to murdering a man for speaking in his sleep. Also ironically, the Ministry of Love, does indeed bring love, by rewriting the memories of the unfortunate within, so that they will love the Party and Big Brother. As postulated by Goldstien's book, the Ministry of Love prevents martyrs, because nobody truly hates the Party, after the Ministry of Love is through with them.
