State and Public Opinion - Joseph Goebbels

It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion.
....

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
....

The lie can be mantained only for such time as the State can shield the people form 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.
