The Big Lie

(translated from a German article)

Hitler writes in "Mein Kampf" (MURPHY translation: page 134:)

"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.

From time immemorial. however, the Jews have known better than any others how falsehood and calumny can be exploited. Is not their very existence founded on one great lie, namely, that they are a religious community, whereas in reality they are a race? And what a race! One of the greatest thinkers that mankind has produced has branded the Jews for all time with a statement which is profoundly and exactly true. He (Schopenhauer) called the Jew "The Great Master of Lies". Those who do not realize the truth of that statement, or do not wish to believe it, will never be able to lend a hand in helping Truth to prevail."

And that was written in the year 1925, describing the situation after the First World War!

But we want to talk about the even more sinister lie of the last war. It must be asserted that we should never forget not only the size of the lieãbe it the 5 or 6 million the world is talking about, or the mass-exterminations in gas-chambers or what-notãbut also the many cunning little lies that penetrate the smallest details of the thousand-times repeated 'big lie' which was assembled like a giant jigsaw puzzle, piece by piece, where no effort was spared by those who had the abilities and resourses to create the appearances of an integral whole.

The creation of such a multi-faceted "tower of lies" is promoted by the ingenious talent of the Jew for such endeavours and, in this particular case, the added hardships of a rampant war and its associated propaganda ploys, intertwined with misinformation incessantly produced by the enemy nations of Germany. In addition to that, on the one hand there was the absolute defeat of our side at the end of the war, literally down to ground zero, and the total elimination of any possibility of defense/argumentation, while on the other hand the other side had complete control over a media which was developing into unimaginable dimensions. Thus, the "horrible", the "uniqueness" was createdãin a vast area concealed from the outside-world.

The defeated people wanted peace. What allegedly had happenedãof which they had no ideaãwas happening next door and was presumably committed by "others". The naive and decent German people condemned the imagined "others" (at that time, but many are still believing it today) more than their enemies did, who were laughing behind their backs.

Methods were employed where persons, who were in vulnerable positions (' . . . we don't want to say that nothing ever happened, especially at the frantic final phase of the war"), were blackmailed and tortured to the point were they felt they could save their own skin by implicating others or "inventing" crimes just to escape the wrath of their captors, as we now begin to recognize. They willingly signed any prepared "testimonies", sooner or later. Even the most subordinate participants were confronted with "ready-made" protocols containing, seemingly, insignificant details, small pieces of a larger puzzle, without even looking at what they were signing.

And so the net was woven tighter and tighter.

A syndrome was created in which the mere "being there" -may it be with a party-button or even the heart - was a crime, where everyone searched the far corners of their souls just to scrape up something negative about the past

Also, many young people, who had their lives still before them, had to prove that they were "always" against itãjust to get ahead. Far too many kept up that line, because it was opportune, i.e. essentially necessary, but also, because any change of political directions was extremely difficult.

The change of political direction in 1945 was only possible under those described conditions, created by the almighty victors over the vanquished. It was possible then, and now it is almost impossible to escape from it anymore.

Schopenhauer writes: " It is quite natural that we oppose any new findings on things about which we have formed a definite opinion, because they invade the primary concept of our conviction and shake the tranquility we have derived. It expects new efforts from us and declares old concepts as lost."

Particularly those concepts, as mentioned already, that were driven into the minds with an iron hammer. Far too many of the re-educated convinced themselves into postulating the images that emanated from the "tower of lies" with the well-known overcompensation of a believer. And "they" talked and taught and preached it to the young generation following, which had no choice but to believe: ". . . it must have been like that." And that belief system has developed to such a degree that the most primitive and hair-raising products of Hollywood and other black-magic coldrons could be served up to themãand they believe and believe and believe.

And let's not forget that the result of all the believing, the forcing to believe, mixed with the almost infantile good-naturedness of the Germans, represents a multi-billion dollar businessãhence, the constant agitation, which produces even more new additions to the "tower of lies and phantasies" will run perpetually.

But I also would like to mention some of the additional consequences that evolve from the multi- faceted big lie.

Whenever one confronts someone wrapped-up in this net of lies, the discussion goes something like this:

"Well, you mean the 5 million is a lie?"

"Yes, it is a lie for many reasons, and that is proven."

"But what about the Final Solution order, that existed?"

"No, that, too, is a lie."

"But we have seen all the gaschambers! They are everywhere!"

"Those are forgeries, built after the war."

"But there are so many Jews whose relatives were gassed!"

"Yet no one has ever really seen that."

"But one can see all those mountains of corpses in documantary movies."

"Many of them, as has been proven, were victims of. the bombing terror unleashed over German cities. Many people, without a doubt, were killed in the chaos of war and resulting starvation -inconcivable in today's minds."

And question upon question keep coming - and the answer is always: lies, lies and lies. However, that doesn't work very well; the people simply cannot believe that. They can't imagine that such a monstrous lie could exist and, hence, see in us nothing more than fanatics who want to deny everything, trying to turn all bad events into good deeds.

It is impossible to remove every little detail from the minds of the indoctrinated masses. I believe, therefore, that it is important to dispute the large dogmas like the 5 million, or the gaschambersãwhich is easier today than at Galilei's time of the "orbiting sun"!

Ernst Z¸ndel and his co-workers have worked tirelessly to bring those dogmas down. We can't do enough to support him, even if we don't like some of his characteristics. But it remains a fact that Zuendel faced great dangers and efforts, not only in delivering evidence, but also in presenting it to the public, out in the open. That is of great importance.

Along with the repetitious screems of the old lies, the weapon of silence is used rather sucessfully in combating counter-evidence. It is very crucial, therefore, to emphasise the importance of propagating Z¸ndel's (and others) evidence and research materials, even if the politicians of our nations are total and complete puppets, subservient to the Dark Powers, who never miss an opportunity to affirm their guilt complex draped in nebulous dogmas, even banning the doubting of the official governments as ". . . indisputable facts which need no evidence".

And like a bee caught in a spidernet can only escape by jerking and breaking the main threads of the net, we must tear through the prime lies of the Holocaust.
