AMERICAN DISSIDENT VOICES: Broadcast of May 25, 2002
The Big Lie
By Dr. William Pierce
Hello!
In the eight months since the September 11 attack, I've had probably 50
interviews with people from the mass media. A standard question they
nearly always ask me is how have I responded to the attack. Part of my
answer to that question is that I have tried to use the reaction of the
government and the mass media to the attack to show that the politicians
and the media lie shamelessly and outrageously to the American people
about matters of vital importance.
That is, everyone who pays attention to what is happening in the world
-- which is to say, everyone except the lemmings -- understands that the
attack was a retaliation for the U.S. government's arming and financing
Israel's aggression in the Middle East. That is crystal clear. And yet
everyone in the government and everyone in the mass media has denied it
since September 11. Their standard response to the question, why were we
attacked, is that there is no good reason for it. We were attacked only
because Osama bin Laden 'hates our freedom.' The attack certainly had
nothing at all to do with American policy in the Middle East or with
Israel. We would have been attacked even if we never had supported
Israel, they say. Not only did Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney and Mr. Ashcroft
and everyone else in the government -- and every media spokesman --
repeat this lie over and over again, but they tried hard to avoid the
question. It became Politically Incorrect even to ask why we were
attacked.
And it was all very obvious -- at least, to the perceptive portion of
the population. Usually the politicians and the media bosses have time
to prepare their lies more carefully and rehearse them, but September 11
caught them by surprise, and their lies and their attempts at
misdirection were clumsy and transparent: good enough for the lemmings,
but certainly not good enough to fool anyone able to observe and think
for himself. Usually a clever liar will leave enough ambiguity in his
lies so that it's difficult for anyone to say with absolute certainty
that he's lying. One can be pretty sure that he's lying, but there's
usually a little doubt: maybe it's not really a deliberate lie; maybe
it's just a difference of opinion, a difference in interpretation. But
in the case of September 11, with the government and the media both
claiming that the attack had nothing to do with the government's support
for Jewish policy in the Middle East, there's no room for ambiguity:
they're lying. And the things they're lying about are not trivial: not
the sort of inconsequential lies that politicians always tell to get
reelected. The lies about American foreign policy and its consequences
are important lies, big lies, lies that impact heavily on America's
security and survival.
And so nearly every time a reporter asks me about September 11 I use the
opportunity to point out that George Bush is a liar: a conscious,
deliberate, bald-faced, shameless liar. Of course, he's much worse than
merely a liar: he's also a traitor. He has cynically and deliberately
violated his oath of office and betrayed America, betrayed our people,
and I use the September 11 attack to illustrate that too. If George Bush
claimed that the September 11 attack was not a response to the
government's pro-Israel policy simply because he didn't want to be
blamed for having a bad policy that got more than 3,000 Americans
killed, then he could have set about changing that policy after
September 11. He could at least have opened the policy up for
discussion. He could have blamed the policy on Bill Clinton. He could
have said that it was just one of many bad policies left over from the
Clinton era that he hadn't gotten around to changing yet.
But there was no discussion, and there were no changes. Discussion of
whether the United States should pursue America's interests in the
Middle East or Israel's interests simply is not permitted. It is a taboo
subject. And it is clear enough why it is a taboo subject.
When Osama bin Laden attacked the United States on September 11, he did
much more than send us a message that Muslims are not happy about what
the Jews, with the aid and support of the U.S. government, are doing to
the Palestinians. He forced the American people -- at least, the two or
three per cent of the American people able to think for themselves -- to
pay attention to what their government is doing. He forced the whole
subject of U.S. policy in the Middle East into the open: the subject of
American interests versus Jewish interests, of Jewish media control and
its influence on governmental policy. He broke the taboo. He exposed the
treason. In the long run that may more than compensate for the 3,000
American lives that were lost.
And of course, the fact that his attack opened up for debate the subject
of American interests versus Jewish interests, the fact that he exposed
the treason, is the real reason that George Bush hates him enough to
start a war to punish him.
To be sure, Bush is more popular than ever with the lemmings. They have
accepted without question his explanation that we were attacked only
because Osama bin Laden 'hates our freedom.' It is only the thinking
minority who have seen his nakedness, and they don't have enough votes
to make a difference. Nevertheless, it is the thinking minority, not the
lemmings, that will one day judge him and condemn him and hang him. And
behind that smirk of his he knows it.
Let's get back again to the subject of lying to the American people.
It's something that is continuous and massive. But as I said earlier,
there's usually a certain degree of ambiguity to it, so that it's
difficult to prove that any particular lie is a conscious and deliberate
lie. And so when I encounter a lie that's easy to prove is a lie, I like
to use it as an example. There's a Jewish outfit that calls itself
'FLAME': F-L-A-M-E. That's an acronym for 'Facts and Logic about the
Middle East.' FLAME buys full-page ads in various print media and
instead of facts and logic publishes pretty outrageous lies about the
Middle East that are proved fairly easily to be lies. I have one of
FLAME's full-page ads in front of me now. It's titled 'Arabian Fables,'
and the copy I have appeared in the February 11 issue of U.S. News &
World Report.
According to the FLAME ad, -- quote -- 'the fundamental myth' -- unquote
-- about the Middle East, is that there are any such people as
'Palestinians.' Before 1948, according to FLAME, the Palestinians were
Jews, and now they are Israelis. But in 1948 Arabs who wanted to take
the Jews' land away from them began calling themselves 'Palestinians.'
The clear implication of the FLAME ad is that the people of Palestine
always were Jews, and that the people calling themselves 'Palestinians'
today are Arab interlopers. That is the opposite of the truth
Actually, there are hundreds of books available that were written before
the current conflict between Jews and Palestinians began that provide
demographic data on Palestine. Just before the First World War, in 1914,
Palestine was a part of the Ottoman Empire. In that year the Turkish
government took an official census. Of a total population of 689,000,
just 84,660, or 12.3 per cent, were Jews, and many of those were recent
immigrants who had come to Palestine as part of the Zionist movement.
During the First World War Britain took Palestine away from Turkey and
after the war permitted large numbers of additional Jews to immigrate.
According to the official British census of 1931, the Jewish population
of Palestine had risen to 16.9 per cent: that's 174,606 Jews in a total
population of 1,033,314. The influx of Jews into Palestine during the
1920s and 1930s was a source of continual provocation to the native
Palestinians, and there were a number of riots and other disorders.
Jewish pressure on the British government, however, prevented the
British from making any permanent or effective halt to the immigration
of Jews into Palestine.
After the Second World War, shortly before the United Nations partition
of Palestine into separate Jewish and non-Jewish areas, Jews still made
up less than one-third of the population of Palestine. The 1946 British
census counted 608,000 Jews out of a total population of 1,845,000. The
great majority of these Jews were recent immigrants, whereas nearly all
of the Arabs were natives who had roots in Palestine going back many
generations. What the Jews had that the Palestinians didn't have,
however, was a very substantial degree of control of the governments of
the United States and the United Kingdom, and these two countries
exerted a decisive influence on the policies of the United Nations. The
result of this influence was the partition of Palestine in 1948 into
separate Jewish and non-Jewish areas, with the one-third of the
population that was Jewish being awarded two-thirds of the land,
including the most valuable areas.
The Jews immediately set about ethnically cleansing their areas,
carrying out a number of horrifying massacres of non-Jewish Palestinians
and terrorizing tens of thousands of others into fleeing from their
homes, which immediately were seized and occupied by the Jews. In a
series of wars since 1948, the Jews, backed by the United States, seized
even more Palestinian land. The Palestinians who were driven from their
land -- the real Palestinians, whose parents and grandparents and
great-grandparents had owned the land -- were forced into crowded and
dirty refugee camps, where they still live. And whenever one of these
dispossessed Palestinians strikes back at the Jews who stole his country
from him, everyone in the Bush government, from the chief liar on down,
and everyone in the controlled media here denounces the Palestinian as a
'terrorist' -- and all of the Sally Soccermoms and Joe Sixpacks nod in
agreement.
I'll tell you about one of these Palestinian 'terrorists' you've
certainly heard mentioned by the media if you pay any attention at all
to what's happening in the world. He's called Abu Nidal: the most feared
Palestinian 'terrorist' of them all. The name the man called Abu Nidal
was born with is Sabri al-Banna. He was born in 1937 in the Palestinian
coastal city of Jaffa. His family was one of the wealthiest and most
distinguished families in Palestine and owned, among other things, more
than 6,000 acres of orange orchards, which were the major source of
income for the family. When Sabri al-Banna was an 11-year-old schoolboy,
the Jews seized all of his family's orchards and other lands, all of
their houses, and everything else his family owned, and he and his
family ended up living in a tent in a refugee camp in the Gaza strip.
Quite a shock for a quiet, introverted little boy.
The shock led him to dedicate his life to evening the score, to gaining
justice for his people, to striking back at the Jews who had stolen all
of his family's property and driven them into a refugee camp. He built
what was probably the most highly disciplined and ruthless fighting
organization on the Palestinian side. He struck not only at Jews but
also at Palestinians who collaborated or compromised with the Jews.
Whenever Abu Nidal's troops would strike, machine-gunning Israeli
tourists at an airport or bombing some Jewish facility in another
country, the politicians and the media here always would go into
hysterics about Arab 'terrorism.' I always cheered. Abu Nidal is not
some crazed murderer who likes to kill people. He is a Palestinian
patriot fighting for his people and for his country in the only way he
can fight under the circumstances. He does not 'hate America's freedom'
as George Bush and the media would have you believe. There is no reason
for him to be an enemy of America, except that we have made him an enemy
by arming and financing the Jews who stole his family's orange groves
and forced him into a refugee camp. Remember that whenever you buy an
orange that came into America from Israel: one of those sweet Jaffa
oranges that are so favored by New York Jews. That orange is stolen
property. It belongs to Abu Nidal. It was stolen from him by the Jew who
sold it to you.
By the way, a good source of information on Abu Nidal is a report
published for the U.S. government in September 1999 by the Library of
Congress. It's titled 'The Sociology and Psychology of Terrorism: Who
Becomes a Terrorist and Why?' It's available on the Internet now.
Nearly everything that the average American thinks he knows about the
Middle East -- everything told to him by the government or the media
about current events or history in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Israel,
or about American involvement in that part of the world -- is part of a
tissue of lies spun by the Jews to serve their interests at the expense
of ours. The lie told by FLAME and published by U.S. News & World Report
-- and that magazine, incidentally, is owned by Jewish real-estate
speculator Mortimer Zuckerman -- the lie that the real Palestinians are
Jews, and the Arabs claiming to be Palestinians are interlopers, is
typical.
The lies told to the American people by the controlled media and the
government and the schools certainly are not limited to lies about the
Middle East, however. The same FLAME ad in U.S. News & World Report that
we've just discussed begins with a lie that has nothing to do with the
Middle East. It's a lie that Americans have been told so often that most
of them accept it unquestioningly as the truth: even university-educated
Americans who believe that they are sophisticated enough to distinguish
Jewish propaganda lies from the truth. This is the way the FLAME ad
begins, and I quote: 'Josef [sic] Goebbels, the infamous propaganda
minister of the Nazis, had it right. Just tell people big lies often
enough and they will believe them.' -- end of quote --
The message there is clear: the Nazis advocated fooling the people by
telling them big lies and repeating those big lies frequently. Right?
We've all been told that a thousand times, haven't we? We learned it in
school. We heard it on television. Half the politicians in Mr. Bush's
government undoubtedly have warned us at one time or another about the
Nazi 'big lie' propaganda technique. Usually, however, the principal
Nazi advocate of the 'big lie' is named as Adolf Hitler rather than
Joseph Goebbels. We've all heard about Hitler's 'big lie' technique. And
so we all should be grateful to the Jews for warning us about it. Right?
I mean, no matter what we think about Jews otherwise, we at least owe
them for warning us about Nazi lies, don't we?
You know, I used to believe that myself. But I was fortunate enough to
know someone who told me that it wasn't so. This person told me that
neither Hitler nor Goebbels had advocated the 'big lie' technique for
deceiving the public. He told me that the opposite was true: that in
fact Hitler, far from advocating the use of the 'big lie,' had warned
his people that the Jews use this 'big lie' technique, and that the
German people should be wary of it.
Well, when I hear something like that, my tendency is to check it out
for myself. I don't accept many things on faith. And when my friend told
me that Hitler had neither invented nor advocated the 'big lie' after I
had heard so many times in school and on TV that Hitler had done those
things, at first I didn't believe him. I checked it out for myself, and
that's what you should do. I got a copy of Hitler's book, Mein Kampf,
from the library, and I read what Hitler wrote back in 1925 about
propaganda and lying and about the Jews. You know, Mein Kampf is still
in print today. If you can't find an English translation of the book in
your local library you can buy a copy from amazon.com or from Barnes &
Noble. Or, better, you can buy a copy from the sponsors of this program,
National Vanguard Books. They stock and sell both the original German
edition and two different English translations.
Anyway, I'll read to you exactly what Hitler wrote about the 'big lie.'
I'll read from the Ralph Manheim translation that is currently published
in this country by the Houghton Mifflin Company. In Chapter 10 of the
first volume of Mein Kampf Hitler writes about the role of
Jewish-Marxist propaganda in bringing about the collapse of the German
war effort during the First World War and then blaming that collapse on
German General Erich Ludendorff. I quote:
'It required the whole bottomless falsehood of the Jews and their
Marxist fighting organization to lay the blame for the collapse on that
very man who alone, with superhuman energy and will power, tried to
prevent the catastrophe he foresaw and save the nation from its time of
deepest humiliation and disgrace. By branding Ludendorff as guilty for
the loss of the World War, they took the weapon of moral right from the
one dangerous accuser who could have risen against the traitors to the
fatherland. In this they proceeded on the sound principle that the
magnitude of a lie always contains a certain factor of credibility,
since the great masses of the people in the very bottom of their hearts
tend to be corrupted rather than consciously and purposely evil, and
that, therefore, in view of the primitive simplicity of their minds,
they more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a little one, since
they themselves lie in little things, but would be ashamed of lies that
were too big. Such a falsehood will never enter their heads, and they
will not be able to believe in the possibility of such monstrous
effrontery and infamous misrepresentation in others; yes, even when
enlightened on the subject, they will long doubt and waver and continue
to accept at least one of these causes as true. Therefore, something of
even the most insolent lie will always remain and stick -- a fact which
all the great lie-virtuosi and lying-clubs in the world know only too
well and also make the most treacherous use of.
'The foremost connoisseurs of this truth regarding the possibilities in
the use of falsehood and slander have always been the Jews; for after
all, their whole existence is based on one single great lie, to wit,
that they are a religious community while actually they are a race --
and what a race! One of the greatest minds of humanity has nailed them
forever as such in an eternally correct phrase of fundamental truth: he
called them 'the great masters of the lie.' And anyone who does not
recognize this or does not want to believe it will never in this world
be able to help the truth to victory.' -- end of quote --
Now, I ask you: does that sound as if Hitler invented the 'big lie' or
was advocating its use -- or does it sound as if he were condemning this
as a Jewish technique and warning his fellow Germans about it? What do
you think?
It's too bad he didn't warn us Americans too, because over here the Jews
have used the very technique against which Hitler warned in 1925 to put
the blame for this technique on Hitler himself! I guess that all it
takes is enough chutzpah, as they proudly call it. And it certainly took
chutzpah on the part of the Jews who wrote that FLAME ad accusing the
Palestinians of being interlopers in Palestine and furthermore accuses
them of using the 'big lie' technique when the Palestinians charge that
it is the Jews, not they, who are the interlopers. The brazenness of the
Jews really takes one's breath away.
Anyway, I apologize for reading such a long excerpt from Mein Kampf, but
it does give us just one more really clear-cut and unambiguous example
of the way in which the Jews in the media and their collaborators in the
government lie to us with the utmost brazenness and arrogance.
Thanks for being with me again today.
