When Ingsoc changes its political alliance with another superpower and begins waging war on a former ally, Winston's job is to rewrite all the prior information to show that the old alliance never existed.

  Principles of Newspeak
Newspeak was the official language of Oceania, and had been devised to meet the ideological needs of Ingsoc, or English Socialism.
And in addition, only a person thoroughly grounded in Ingsoc could appreciate the full force of the word bellyfeel, which implied a blind, enthusiastic acceptance difficult to imagine today; or of the word oldthink, which was inextricably mixed up with the idea of wickedness and decadence.
Ideas inimical to Ingsoc could only be entertained in a vague wordless form, and could only be named in very broad terms which lumped together and condemned whole groups of heresies without defining them in doing so.

  Ingsoc
Ingsoc (Newspeak for "English Socialism") is the ideology of the totalitarian government of Oceania (The Americas, the Atlantic islands including the British Isles, Australasia, and the southern portion of Africa) in George Orwell's dystopic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Ingsoc apparently came to dominance during a socialist revolution, but as The Party is constantly changing history it is difficult to tell precisely how it came about.
Ingsoc is personified by Big Brother, an omnipresent Stalin-like figure constantly depicted on posters and the telescreen.

Here, as in Ingsoc, where "Big Brother is ungood" was "a self-evident absurdity" (235), the notion of the United States committing "aggression" was outside the pale of comprehensible thought.
In fact, in an interesting turnabout, the supposedly permanent condition of the victims of Ingsoc has proven to be impermanent, whereas the victims of Amcap and Marketspeak in both the former Soviet Union and the West have been placed in the condition where, as Mrs.

 Ingsoc Information
In George Orwell's dystopic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, Ingsoc is the ideology of the totalitarian government of Oceania.
Ingsoc apparently came to dominance during a communist or more likely socialist revolution, but as The Party is constantly rewriting history it is difficult to tell precisely how it came about.
What is left unexplained in the novel is how Ingsoc and its ruling cabal, the Inner Party, were able to establish and maintain control over Britain and its Commonwealth, Ireland, and the whole of the Americas in a historically short period (roughly 30 years based on the internal chronology of the novel).

And in addition, only a person thoroughly grounded in Ingsoc could appreciate the full force of the word bellyfeel, which implied a blind, enthusiastic acceptance difficult to imagine today ; or of the word oldthink, which was inextricably mixed up with the idea of wickedness and decadence.
His training fitted him to do this, the language gave him an almost foolproof instrument, and the texture of the words, with their harsh sound and a certain wilful ugliness which was in accord with the spirit of Ingsoc, assisted the process still further.
Ideas inimical to Ingsoc could only be entertained in a vague wordless form, and could only be named in very broad terms which lumped together and condemned whole groups of heresies without defining them in doing so.

 Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
The B vocabulary consisted of words which had been deliberately constructed for political purposes: words, that is to say, which not only had in every case a political implication, but were intended to impose a desirable mental attitude upon the person using them.
And in addition, only a person thoroughly grounded in Ingsoc could appreciate the full force of the word bellyfeel, which implied a blind, enthusiastic acceptance difficult to imagine today; or of the word oldthink, which was inextricably mixed up with the idea of wickedness and decadence.
Almost invariably these words -- goodthink, Minipax, prolefeed, sexcrime, joycamp, Ingsoc, bellyfeel, thinkpol, and countless others -- were words of two or three syllables, with the stress distributed equally between the first syllable and the last.

Ingsoc as one person said was well covered in the "Book of Goldstien" - it is the Three Principle addressed on the side of the MiniTrue building - "War is Peace" - "Freedom is Slavery" - "Ignorance is Strength".
So the purpose of the philosphy of Ingsoc and Doublethink is too keep they smart to work the machines, but stupid enough to believe only what they are told.
Ingsoc is simply the word for the current type of government "Socialism" that winston lives under, since in the Book of Goldstien it is specially pointed out that there is no difference between the three superpowers.

 The Seattle Times: Opinion: Orwell wrote Bush's script   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Orwell wrote that the idea of Newspeak was to restrict the language to the point that people would have to think in the limited language of the party.
In true INGSOC fashion, the administration has used Bushspeak to spin a story broken by The New York Times about a domestic-spying program run by the National Security Agency and approved by executive order soon after 9/11 into a necessary program needed to weed out the deeply integrated terrorists living next door.
Bush's fear-mongering resembles a version of INGSOC's Two Minutes (of) Hate, in which party members watch a video of legions of the enemy army marching behind a bleating political enemy.

 Nineteen Eighty-Four - George Orwell, Book, etext
It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought—that is, a thought diverging from the principles of Ingsoc—should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words.
Almost invariably these words—goodthink, Minipax, prolefeed, sexcrime, joycamp, Ingsoc, bellyfeel, thinkpol, and countless others—were words of two or three syllables, with the stress distributed equally between the first syllable and the last.
Compound words such as speakwrite, were of course to be found in the A vocabulary, but these were merely convenient abbreviations and had no special ideologcal colour.
