more hogwash (Joseph Goebbels speaks)

"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."

-Dr. Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945

"In war, truth is the first casualty."

-Aeschylus (Greek playwright, died 456 BC)

"I will never apologize for the United States, ever. I don't care what the facts are."

-US President George H.W. Bush, August 1988
(a month after the USS Vincennes shot down a commercial airliner: Iran Air flight 655)
