The Big Lie gets blamed onto the Nazi propaganda machine. But propagandists, the people who are so very clever at using the big lie are lying about it. Adolf Hitler told us that it is used by Jews and that Jews are master liars. He had a point.
Of course it has been used many times before and since. Bush and his handlers - make that his handlers, know a lot about that. Remember we HAD to invade Iraq because of all those nasty WMDs that Saddam had. Here is a Wikipedia source which seems plausible. When they give sources they are checkable and that much more likely to be right. But contrast the Wiki's quote from Mein Kampf with the full context and decide who is filtering out the truth.
It is often
erroneously claimed or implied Hitler had advocated the use of the Big Lie as a
viable propaganda technique. However, Hitler, when writing of the Big Lie in
Mein Kampf, was in fact criticizing the Jews for their perceived use of the Big
Lie. The source of Big Lie technique, from Chapter 10 of Mein Kampf:
UNQUOTE
Notice that the Wikipedia article separates Adolf's point that it is a Jewish
technique from the main idea. Otherwise it reads as a fair report. That is the
point of the
Wikipedia to look right, to sound right, to be accepted as right and then
slip in the lies, the half truths and the omissions without us noticing. The
Wiki
is a Jewish propaganda
machine.
All this was inspired by the principle--which is quite true in 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. These people know only too well how to use
falsehood for the basest purposes.
From time immemorial. however, the Jews have known better than any
others how falsehood and calumny can be exploited. Is not their very
existence founded on one great lie, namely, that they are a religious
community, whereas in reality they are a race? And what a race! One of
the greatest thinkers that mankind has produced has branded the Jews for
all time with a statement which is profoundly and exactly true. He
(Schopenhauer) called the Jew "The Great Master of Lies". Those who do
not realize the truth of that statement, or do not wish to believe it,
will never be able to lend a hand in helping Truth to prevail.

That is what
Adolf told the world. Was
Adolf right? It is certain that the Jews hate him
But read for yourself. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself.
Big
Lie
The Big Lie theory is attributed to Herr Doktor Joseph Goebbels who
was the Nazi Minister of Propaganda. The Wikipedia
is quite specific on the point:-
QUOTE
Dr. Goebbels was
Adolf Hitler's
Propaganda Minister in
Nazi Germany. He also served as
Chancellor for one day, following Hitler's death. He was
known for his zealous and energetic oratory, virulent
anti-Semitism, and perfection of the so-called
Big Lie technique of mass propaganda.
UNQUOTE
The truth is rather messier. Source Watch reads as an honest look at
the facts.
QUOTE
Big lie from Source Watch Frequently attributed to Joseph Goebbels, the
oft-cited big lie theory appears instead to have been Nazi dictator
Adolf Hitler's explanation for how people ...

Another source, another view.
