takes one sick, evil, twisted bastard, to know how another scummy system really works
and the classic:
Hitler went from being laughed at by many, to mesmerizing on stage, very very quickly...ever wondered HOW that occured? He got taught, that's how, and by whom? Those skilled in psychological manipulation, which apparently included professionals.
Alas, the curse that writing etc is, means that scum nowadays, can learn from such lessons. While most folk who read "The Prince" and "The Art of War" do no harm with the knowledge, some readers are not so benign.
Later, Joseph Goebbels put forth a slightly different theory which has come to be more commonly associated with the expression "big lie." Goebbels wrote the following paragraph in an article dated 12 January 1941, 16 years after Hitler's first use of the phrase "big lie," titled "Aus Churchills Lgenfabrik" and translated "From Churchill's Lie Factory." It was published in Die Zeit ohne Beispiel.
The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous

The phrase was also used in a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler's psychological profile:[3][4]
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.
