You've heard of the "Big Lie," right?

The idea is that someone -- especially someone trusted, like government or media -- tells a lie that is so big that it is hard to believe it could be a lie at all, and it is repated often (think: Covid and vaccines), the human mind tends to want to believe it, even without critical thought.

Now, the interesting thing about the "Big Lie" is that the irony of it is that we are told this was something Hitler and the Germans did to their own people -- lied the Big Lie about jews, etc.

In reality, that particular narrative is actually a gaslighting of US, not the German people of the 1930's, because it was Goebbels who was talking about the Big Lie when he wrote and spoke about the English having a long history of using the Big Lie on their own people.

How's that for a mind bender?

Here is an article from Goebbels called "Churchill's Lie Factory."

As you read that article, you can clearly see that what Goebbels wrote about Churchill is exactly the same types of lies that we hear from modern politicians today.

The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.

It's a very interesting read:
