What does the quote he who controls the present controls the past he who controls the past controls the future mean?

Answer:
my way of looking at this quote is by focusing on the ending part and that basically says that those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Therefore, the person who controls the present is making the same mistakes as in the past and the person who controls the past will know of those mistakes and not repeat them making them more successful.
