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.

Sighting Report #2
There are 31 new hits for the phrase in the last 24 hours. The most interesting is Fraudonomics, which looks at “the interaction between government, the media, and Wall Street.” It looks to be on the political right. It has the quotation at the top of the page. Rather amusing that a blog with the name “Fraudonomics” is the victim of a fraudulent quotation.
