  THE BIG LIE

  "All this was inspired by the principle -- which is quite true in =
itself -- that in the big lie there is always a certain force of =
credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily =
corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than =
consciously or voluntarily, and thus in the primitive simplicity of =
their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small =
lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but =
would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never =
come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not =
believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so =
infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be =
brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will =
continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the =
grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has =
been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this =
world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people =
know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes."
