The Big Lie
|
“The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for 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 a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell big ones. Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.”
Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) •
German Nazi Dictator |
It's not something to chuckle
about.
Think! And let it be a warning.
All of us, condo dwellers in particular, should heed the warning.
… and let us not forget the worldwide suffering because
the monster was allowed to have his way.
"When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a
communist.
When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social
democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade
unionist.
When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out."
Reverend Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) • German Lutheran pastor
He was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Dachau in 1938. He was freed by the
allied forces in 1945.
