“Experts say that Iraq may have nuclear weapons. That’s bad news–they may
have a nuclear bomb. Now the good news is that they have to drop it with a
camel.”

“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 becomes the greatest enemy of the State.”
– Joseph M. Goebbels
