Everyone knows the famous one about the Big Lie,


“In the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.”

But then I found this which is even more relevant to our time, when the truth is spreading and companies like Youtube are busy squashing videos on 9/11 Truth. If it's not true, why are they squashing 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.”

Will 2019 be the year of 9/11 Truth? It feels like a genie getting out of a bottle and there ain't shit they can do about it. Dtube.com

One of the misconceptions about the "Big lie" quote is that it originally came from Joesph Goebbels when in fact he was only repeating the idea from Hitler. Also, a lot of people consider the quote as the operating principle of the Nazi govt when in fact it was a way of them describing how their enemy operated and the big lies they would later tell about their govt. The full quote below.

Hitler writes in Mein Kampf (James Murphy translation, page 134):


"All this was inspired by the principle - which is quite true in itself - that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes.

"From time immemorial. however, the Jews have known better than any others how falsehood and calumny can be exploited. Is not their very existence founded on one great lie, namely, that they are a religious community, whereas in reality they are a race? And what a race! One of the greatest thinkers that mankind has produced has branded the Jews for all time with a statement which is profoundly and exactly true. Schopenhauer called the Jew "The Great Master of Lies." Those who do not realize the truth of that statement, or do not wish to believe it, will never be able to lend a hand in helping Truth to prevail."

I bet now, the words on the street would about how I am now a Nazi. Please dont ban me, I am only exposing the truth aka reality :)

All sides use the technique, the NAZIs understood it because they used it too.

Well, Hitler knew about this before he became the Nazi leader and could tell any big lies. He was calling them out but history painted him and him alone as the one telling the big lie. If that isn't exactly what he was warning about, I don't know what is

Good find. We can study the fascists of the past so we can understand how the fascists of today think, without being a fascist. People really need to be told this?
