	Big Lie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first documented use of the phrase "big lie" is in the corresponding passage: "in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility".
		In this theory, the English are attributed with using a propaganda technique wherein they had the mendacity to "lie big" and "stick to it".
		That uncited quote is the most wide-spread attribution of the big lie, and it is usually given in a context where the implication is that the propaganda technique was invented by Goebbels, who was the propaganda minister for the Third Reich.

	What Would Machiavelli Do? The Big Lie Lives On
		The Big Lie is alive and well today in the United States of America, and what's most troubling about it is the basic premise that underlies its use.
		In order for somebody to undertake a Big Lie, they must first believe Niccolo Machiavelli's premise (in "The Prince," 1532) that the end justifies the means.
		Big Lies are emerging from Bush allies with startling regularity, and old Big Lies are being resurrected almost daily, most on right-wing talk radio.

	BIG LIE technique
		The bigger the lie the more serious are the conclusions in case you admit that it's a lie.
		Not only since the nazis, this technique in a totalitarian framework (total control of the medias, terror, the BIG LIE is constantly propagated without being questioned), proved to be one of the the most efficient mind control techniques.
		To measure the dimension of the lie, how easy it is to expose and the percentage of those who believe it or decide to swallow it, as sleeping pill - this is a good barometer to measure the zombie status of the masses.

	AlterNet: The Big Lie
		The ill-constructed, clumsy untruths were surprisingly crude for people who have had years to practice the craft of mass deception, and they had only to speak their latest falsehood to be cheered by their countrymen and disbelieved by non-Americans everywhere.
		It's not easy to pull off the Big Lie and George Bush failed; though, in mitigation, pulling off a bait-and-switch war demands skillful finagling and this one was complicated.
		The Big Lie must be simple and it must be repeated until it reverberates like a jack hammer digging up the street in front of where you live: inescapable sound.

	Bush Pushes the Big Lie Toward the Brink
		The entire world is astonished that our president is lying not about a personal indiscretion but about the most sacred duty of the leader of the most powerful nation in human history not to recklessly endanger the lives of his own or the world's people.
		The first lie, claimed outright, was that Iraq aided and abetted the Sept. 11 terrorists.
		The third and most dangerous lie is that our mission now is to bring lasting peace to the Mideast by a devastating invasion of Iraq, which will end, as the president outlined last week, in U.S. dominance over the structure of government and politics throughout the region.

	The Big Lie Of The Third Millennium
		Yes, the third millennium is still almost "brand new" and the big lie has already been deceitfully woven and its deceptive pattern pieces have turned up in far off places.
		Now for the lie itself: The big lie of the third millennium is the misguided statement and/or insinuation that anyone who stands for God's definition of righteousness and Holiness is an extremist.
		In other words, what they are saying is that abomination and rebellion against God are the normal and desirable attributes of a third millennium society and that holiness and righteousness have no place (except maybe in some extreme, silent far corner) in that society.

	Miscellaneous -- Adolf Hitler and the 'Big Lie'
		It has been repeated so often that virtually no one bothers to challenge it: Adolf Hitler created and used the "Big Lie," one of his many evil techniques.
		Clearly, Hitler is not advocating the use of the "Big Lie," and, far from creating it, he in fact is ascribing the "Big Lie" technique to the Jews and Marxists.
		The "Big Lie" technique is Hitler's in the same fashion that Halley's Comet is Halley's -- not because either man was the inventor, but rather because he was the discoverer.

	The Big Lie
		And when the president was directly confronted this spring by reporters and asked whether he shared the vice president's view that a connection had been established, Bush detached himself fully from his vice president's mad ranting and made it clear that he knew of no evidence to support the charge.
		I expect him to lie, to shamefully use 9/11 and to say to the people, that up is down and down is up.
		What angers me the most and makes me and others feel that we are now in the throes of fascism, are those whores and cowards in the so-called mainstream media, who refuse to ask the questions that should be asked, who refuse to tell the people the truth.

	Ariel Cohen on Jenin on National Review Online
		The Jenin "massacre" that never was is yet another Big Lie in the Palestinian PR campaign, a campaign that for its persistence and audacity would have made Joseph Goebbels, Adolph Hitler's propaganda chief, proud.
		One of Goebbels's contributions to the world of "fl" PR was the concept of the Big Lie — repeating something so loudly and persistently that people begin to believe it.
		And the grand wizard himself, Goebbels, used the Big Lie to poison the image of Germany's Jews so successfully that when the Nazis began rounding the Jews up to ship them to the death camps, fellow Germans or other Europeans cheered and helped in the process.

	Flattery and the Big Lie
		More than that, in a peculiar sort of way, flattery is connected to the Big Lie.
		"You are God...you are a god in the making" - the Big Lie of Genesis, where the Serpent approaches Eve and offers her the chance to "be as gods" (3:5, KJV) - becomes the ultimate form of subtle flattery manipulation within the teachings of the New Age Movement.
		Humanity, with its ears tickled by the flattery of the Big Lie, would rather choose to follow an illogical philosophy of self-godhood with its encumbered pride, than humbly face the reality that we cannot redeem ourselves.

	Adolf Hitler on The Big Lie
		Such a falsehood will never enter their heads and they will not be able to believe in the possibility of such monstrous effrontery and infamous misrepresentation in others; yes, even when enlightened on the subject, they will long doubt and waver, and continue to accept at least one of these causes as true.
		Therefore, something of even the most insolent lie will always remain and stick – a fact which all the great lie-virtuosi and lying-clubs in this world know only too well and also make the most treacherous use of.
		The foremost connoisseurs of this truth regarding the possibilities in the use of falsehood and slander have always been the Jews; for after all, their whole existence is based on one single great lie, to wit, that they are a religious community while actually they are a race – and what a race!

		Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's minister of propaganda, is alleged to have stated that if a lie is repeated enough times it would become widely accepted as truth.
		However, it is not clear when he actually made this statement.
