"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.

A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.

And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule

of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want."

- Hannah Arendt

(14 October 1906 – 4 December 1975) German historian and philosophe
