cjan,
Thank you for posting this. Among other things it explains why Goebbles
was and the current crop of political manipulatiors are so successful.
Goebbles Quotes:
“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."
ie., No picture of coffins coming home from the war. Inflation instead of taxes to fund it.
“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over” Does the phrase "War on terror" ring a bell?
As far as people being too busy to study. Let's just say their character is safe
“Intellectual activity is a danger to the building of character” ___Goebbles
If you want to know why the press has not called any of the current group
using these techniques to answer for it. Goebbles had the answer for that too.
“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.”
Before I get an onslaught from the conservatives on here it would be just as
easy to make this list of examples from the other side but they are not in power at
the moment so I choose these examples. I am sure you can post the ones
you find most appropriate.
Thanks again cjan
