    "Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels.

    People like to think that the past is the past and that we have evolved beyond the pitfalls of what people experienced decades ago … we like to think that we are far more enlightened, smart, intelligent and capable than people a generation or two ago.

    Unfortunately, what no one seems to understand or realize is that we are just as dumb (or smart) as the people who lived in the 1930s

    The laws of propaganda, misinformation, disinformation, direction and misdirection are as alive and instrumental now as they were a hundred a years ago.
