Does this sound familiar?

"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 ... The truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the state."

-- Joseph Goebbels
minister of propaganda
Nazi Germany, 1933-1945
