Iran is evil, we must kill it! - We must destroy it! - If not, Iran will nuke us. - Their rockets will be able to reach London in 45 minutes, and Washington in 2 hours! We must protect our families from these bad muslim terrorists.

"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, 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."
Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945
"What good fortune for governments that the people do not think."
Adolf Hitler
"Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work for the benefit of all."
John Maynard Keynes
