So THIS is where they get their ideas:

The Big Lie technique...

"The primitive simplicity of their minds (the masses) rend them more an easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell the big ones.

...The victor will never be asked if he told the truth...

Success is the sole earthly judge of right and wrong.

People will accept a lie if it's big enough and truth is not as important as success."

~Adolph Hitler
