[it is] necessary to take
    over the entire spectrum of opinion, the entire spectrum of discussion, so
    that nothing can be thinkable apart from the party line, not just that it be
    obeyed, but that you can't even think anything else. The state propaganda is
    not expressed; it's rather implicit; it's presupposed. It provides the
    framework for discussion among people who are... admitted into mainstream
    discussion.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mindfully.org/Reform/2007/Propaganda-Poor-Leonard1sep07.htm"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">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.</LI>
