This site details the campaign of misinformation and outright lies that the Bush Administration fostered onto us in the period after the 9/11 attacks. These lies were designed to galvanize popular support for the war against Iraq.
“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, Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, Nazi Germany, 1933-1945
