Discerning truth

Lindy — 7/4/2006 12:57:40 AM (archived)

I did a little research on some of Goebbels quotes after Tom pointed something out on the Flame Baord. I know the propaganda machine supports the political means to the end, that candy coating something and handing it to you on a platter will make everyone take a bite and wait for the other platters to roll out. Free pablum.

Most people have no investigative mindsets. They believe what they are told by the media, the nightly news and newspapers. At any one time, maybe only 5% of the population really knows what the truth is.

How long were the ovens burning in Germany before anyone found out?
The concentration camps full?
And why didn't they find out?

Propaganda. People made to believe the lie.
