Eerie Similarities
When I began to read the following quote, I immediately thought about the United States government. Kind of gave me the chills when I read who originally made it.

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 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, Reich Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany from 1933-1945
