The Big Lie E veryone has heard of the Big Lie the assertion that if a falsehood is sufficiently outrageous and is repeated often enough, a considerable proportion of the populace will believe that it is true.
The most recent confirmation of this maxim is the almost unchallenged idea that American police departments are systemically racist, and that police deliberately kill massive numbers of unarmed and unoffending black people every year.
The results of a poll of 980 adults conducted by the Civil Unrest and Presidential Election Study (CUPES) last September and October are instructive:
Asked how many unarmed black men were killed by police in 2019, To demonstrate how this Big Lie has affected even those who are not inclined to unquestioningly believe leftist propaganda, Among Very Conservative respondents usually thought to be more fond of conspiracy theories than their less-rightist brethren a shocking In fact, according to the generally accepted Washington Post database of police killings since 2015, only twelve unarmed black men were killed by police in 2019. Only twelve out of a total of more than 375 million interactions between police and the public, two-thirds of which were caused when citizens called 911, thereby forcing one or more lawmen into potentially deadly situations. The Big Lie is indisputably alive and well in America today.
The name of Adolf Hitler is invoked nearly every time that the Big Lie is mentioned, with the almost inevitable assertion that Hitler either invented the Big Lie, boasted of using it successfully, advocated its use, or a similar and always undocumented accusation.
Such claims are false, and in accordance with Hitlers very vivid and accurate description of the Big Lie continue to be repeated only because their perpetrators know that virtually no one will bother to read Hitlers actual words to discover just how badly he is being deceived.
In Mein Kampf, Hitler cites the Big Lie in connection with contemporary assertions that Gen. Erich Ludendorff (18651937) was to blame for Germanys loss of the First World War. In his defense of the general, Hitler outlines the components of the Big Lie and illustrates how it works. Far from advocating that strategy, he vigorously condemns it, while admitting that it can achieve its aim when the lie is big enough, and effectively told, and repeated often enough: |

Watch any news program, read any newspaper, and you will see that the Big Lie remains alive and well today, and is being used for precisely the same purpose that Hitler noted to take away the weapon of moral right from the enemies of leftism and anti-white racism. It is perpetrated and promoted on every vital issue of national and international importance, exactly as Hitler analyzed and explained and condemned nearly a century April 29, 2021 |
