Day 299…
“So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state.”
The transcript of the hour-long plus phone call that the President made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Saturday has now been published everywhere. If there was any lingering doubt about the President’s intentions, and I cannot imagine that there possibly could be, this phone call should sweep them all away.
Adolph Hitler made liberal use of a propaganda technique called “The Big Lie”.
He believed that the Jews used the Big Lie to blame the German loss of World War I in 1918 on the antisemitic general who led the country’s forces. He made no secret of his admiration of this technique.
He describes it in his book, Mein Kampf:
“All this was inspired by the principle—which is quite true within 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.”
This is how Hitler and his government paved the way to exterminate Jewish people throughout Europe.
The German propaganda machine claimed that there was an international coalition of Jews in Europe, England and the United States who started World War I. They claimed that they intended to exterminate the German people so exterminating them was a justifiable act of self-defense.
The Nazis made use of the term “Lebensunwertes Leben,” which basically translates as “life unworthy of life,” to label people that they wanted to get rid of - the mentally ill, people who did not conform to strict heterosexual sexual norms, anyone of a race other than the pure aryan strain of the Germanic people, and anyone who could in any way be termed an enemy of the state.
They concocted false scientific studies to prove that all of these people were inferior. Skulls were measured and noses were measured as if that data had any pertinence to anything. So-called scientists and so-called doctors were employed to make the so-called research seem as if it had truth behind it.
The Nazis used the Big Lie to wipe out over ten million people including over six million people of the Jewish faith.
The United States Office of Strategic Services put together a psychological profile of Hitler in the midst of World War II and included this:
“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.”
In 1943 another report titled, Analysis of the Personality of Adolph Hitler: With Predictions of His Future Behaviour and Suggestions for Dealing with Him Now and After Germany's Surrender, said almost exactly the same thing about how the German leader was operating:
“Never to admit a fault or wrong; never to accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time; blame that enemy for everything that goes wrong; take advantage of every opportunity to raise a political whirlwind.”
In 1990, our own President’s first wife, Ivana, told a reporter from Vanity Fair that her then husband kept a collection of Hitler’s speeches near his bed.
When the same reporter asked him about that without saying who had told her about it, the now-President said, "Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of 'Mein Kampf,' and he's a Jew." Davis, who is not Jewish, later confirmed that he had given him a book about Hitler.
Whatever it was that he actually read, our own President is following Hitler’s lead to the letter. He’s been doing this long before he became President.
In 2011 he joined in on the completely unfounded movement against President Obama which tried to sow doubt about where he was born.
“I have some real doubts. I have people that actually have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding."
“Maybe it (Obama’s Birth Certificate) says he's a Muslim.”
The Republican Party has been using this technique themselves for decades. Their systematic dissemination of lies against the Clintons is likely the single major factor that led to Hillary Clinton losing the 2016 Presidential election.
To this day, there are perfectly reasonable and thoughtful people who LOATHE her and find her “untrustworthy”. While they may discount the more extreme parts of the lie, such as the part that says she was responsible for a Democratic-led child pornography ring that operated out of the back rooms of a Washington D.C. pizza parlor, they still believe that she did SOMETHING.
President Clinton lying about his affair with Monica Lewinsky was seen as proof that he was just generally untrustworthy across the boards. If he lied about that, he must be lying about everything.
As Hitler said, “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.”
In his taped phone conversation with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, the President repeated his usual litany of lies.
“I think it’s pretty clear that we won. We won very substantially in Georgia.”
“We have at least 2 or 3 — anywhere from 250 to 300,000 ballots were dropped mysteriously into the rolls.”
“We had, I believe it’s about 4,502 voters who voted but who weren’t on the voter registration list, so it’s 4,502 who voted, but they weren’t on the voter registration roll, which they had to be.”
“You had out-of-state voters. They voted in Georgia, but they were from out of state, of 4,925.”
“And you had dropboxes, which is very bad. You had dropboxes that were picked up. We have photographs, and we have affidavits from many people.”
“So dead people voted, and I think the number is close to 5,000 people.”
All lies and distortions. And it goes on. And on.
The Big Lie. Endlessly repeated. Never deviated from.
And a sizable portion of the Republican party are standing behind this President and giving voice and fuel to these spurious lies.
They claim that the election was fraudulent. Not theirs, mind you, just the President’s. That they were elected themselves in the exact same election doesn’t seem to enter into their way of thinking.
The Big Lie. Endlessly repeated. Never deviated from.
Don’t believe it. Look at exactly what these Republican legislators are doing and look at who they learned it from.
The Big Lie. Endlessly repeated. Never deviated from.
Look for the truth. You will not find it in what either the President or his ardent supporters are saying.
The President is on the way out. Let’s ensure that he gets all the way out.
He will leave many of these supporters behind him - still in office and still in positions of leadership. We cannot forget who those people are.
We have a lot to clean up.
But we have the opportunity in front of us to start doing just that.
So, let’s have at it.
No words for what's happening, at least printable ones. I am so beyond disgusted and incredulous of what's happening here. Not to mention very, very frightened.
❤️It is all being revealed, coming to the surface, the light, the lies exposed /how healing begins by seeing what has been hidden, Can’t heal in the dark
