~ The Big Lie ~
I dislike quoting anything from Hitler or Goebbels, even though I have to give credit where its due. Insightful as it...
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” ~ attributed to Joseph Goebbels, but Adolph Hitler used this in 1924 regarding the ease of persuading people to believe a lie. The Big Lie or ‘Lie Big’ has been used as a propaganda ploy since the beginning of WWII.
