[Lying obviously becomes a pillar of the State, as the State is Fascist (hostile Psychopathic service-to-self) pretending to be a democracy. Witness Tony Blair and his government. Big lies escape detection as most people are good and can't imagine or want to think that evil is running the world.]

"All this was inspired by the principle--which is quite true within itself--that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying."—Adolf Hitler , Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X
"What the press do is they tell you lies, lies they already know you want to hear. The press can figure out what its readers or viewers believe, and make a hell of a living pandering to their egos and telling them that they're smart. They lie and tell the audience they are right, and they never have to change your mind about anything. And the audience rewards them, lauding them and paying them money to keep hearing those sweet, self-serving lies."--Allan Uthman
And when you associate one thing with another over time, just the mention of the one brings the association of the other. What this will sometimes mean is that even when something is later exposed as a lie, if it was accepted as a truth for a long time, the exposure of it as a lie is not believed. It's in one ear and out the other. [1999] Testimony of Mr. William Schaap
Jew-wise Gentiles know about the "jews' oath" or Kol Nidre prayer,
which all devout jews say every year to absolve them from telling the truth in
the year to come. But there is a way to make a religious jew tell the truth,
according to Josef Ginsburg, who was himself the son of an orthodox rabbi.
"First, all Christian symbols must be cleared from the room. Then, a Hebrew
bible and a rabbi must be present. The jew must don a skull cap and take a
rabbinical oath which nullifies the Kol Nidre anti-oath oath." After this
procedure, Josef Ginsburg claimed that "99.5% of all the sick holocaust stories
would become truthful silence!" Jews are not otherwise bound to tell the truth,
because their courtroom oath (as well as their pledge of allegiance) is deemed
by them to be of no account, whatsoever! An Interview With JOSEF GINSBURG

Psychopathy:
"Lying, evasiveness, feigned forgetfulness, vague
and inconsistent answers about his past...his goal is partially to confuse and
manipulate, but he also is indifferent to the truth. And he will lie simply for
the fun of it, so much so that he eventually becomes caught. Yet even when
cornered and confessing, he will offer flimsy excuses or insincere apologies and
then go back to lying again."---Dr. David B. Adams

Lying is like breathing to the psychopath. When caught in a lie and challenged, they make up new lies, and don't care if they're found out. As Hare states, "Lying, deceiving, and manipulation are natural talents for psychopaths...When caught in a lie or challenged with the truth, they are seldom perplexed or embarrassed -- they simply change their stories or attempt to rework the facts so that they appear to be consistent with the lie. The results are a series of contradictory statements and a thoroughly confused listener." (Hare, 46).
They are longing for a war with Iran. Iran is no more a harm to us than was Iraq or Afghanistan. They invented an enemy, they tell lies, lies, lies. The New York Times goes along with their lies, lies, lies. And they don't stop. When the public that's lied to 30 times a day it's apt to believe the lies, is not it?---Gore Vidal
"Truth has to be repeated constantly, because Error also is being preached all the time, and not just by a few, but by the multitude.

"Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies."-----Nietzsche
"When you have power you don't have to tell the truth. That's a rule that's been working in this world for generations.

"How do you react when your own government lies to you systematically about life-and-death questions? As I have noted earlier, the answer is political action in the state legislatures, and one weapon in the hands of the public is an understanding of the pseudo-science and pseudo-epidemiology represented by articles like this one."--Harris Coulter http://www.pnc.com.au/~cafmr/coulter/sids.html

"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." --- Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945
"The size of the lie is a definite factor in
causing it to be believed, because the vast masses of a nation are in the
depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and
intentionally bad.
The primitive simplicity of their
minds renders them more easy victims of a big lie than a small one, because
they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell big ones.
Such a form of lying would
never enter their heads. They would never credit others with the possibility of
such great impudence as the complete reversal of facts. Even explanations would
long leave them in doubt and hesitation, and any trifling reason would dispose
them to accept a thing as true.
Something therefore always
remains and sticks from the most imprudent of lies, a fact which all bodies and
individuals concerned in the art of lying in this world know only too well, and
therefore they stop at nothing to achieve this end."---Adolph
Hitler, Mein Kampf
