The Battle of Truth Versus Disinformation
- "The great masses of people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one. Especially if it is repeated over and over." - Adolph Hitler
- "The victor will never be asked if he told the truth" - Adolph Hitler
- "All propaganda has to be popular and has to adapt its spiritual level to the perception of the least intelligent of those towards whom it intends to direct itself." - Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf
- "It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion." - Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda
- "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." - Goebbels
- "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." - Goebbels
- "There's really five companies that control 90 percent of what we read, see and hear." - Ted Turner
- "Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. This kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. We must electrically control the brain. Some day armies and generals will be controlled by electrical stimulation of the brain." - Dr. Jose Delgado (U.S. government mind-control experimenter associated with the "MKULTRA" program who demonstrated a radio controlled bull on CNN in 1985)
- "There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the Journalist is to destroy truth; To lie outright; To pervert; To vilify; To fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals for rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes." - John Swinton, the former chief of staff of the New York Times, called by his peers, "The Dean of his profession," in a speech at the New York Press Club.
- "Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have."- Richard Salant, former President of CBS News
- "The mass media is itself part of the same power structure that plunders the planet and inflicts human rights abuses on a massive scale" - David Cromwell
- "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. The truth has been kept from the depth of their minds by masters who rule them with lies. They feed them on falsehoods till wrong looks like right in their eyes." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
- "The real mass media are basically trying to divert people."... "Let everybody be crazed about professional sports or sex scandals." - Noam Chomsky
- "As long as each individual is facing the television tube alone, formal freedom poses no threat to privilege." - Noam Chomsky
- "Where once the student was taught that the unexamined life was not worth living, he is now taught that the profitably lived life is not worth examining." - Benjamin Barber
- "The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking." - J. K. Galbraith
- "The world's press has lost losing its ability to keep power in check." - Frank Vogel
- "The New York Times is for us what Pravda was for the Soviets" - Gore Vidal
