Please do. In the meantime, however, it is somewhat informative to see
what Hitler had to say in _Mein Kampf_ about the "art of propganda:"
"The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence
is small, but their power of forgetting is enourmous. IN consequence of
these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points
and must harp on these slogans until the last member of the public
understands what you want him to understand by your slogan...." (Hitler,
_Mein Kampf_, p.180-181.)
"The function of propaganda is, for example, not to wiegh and ponder the
rights of different people, but exclusively to emphasize the one right
which it has set out to argue for. Its task is not to make an objective
study of the truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it
before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own
right, always and unflinchingly." (Ibid. p.182.)
"The purpose of propaganda is not to provide interesting distraction for
blase' young gentlemen, but to convinve, and what I mean is to convince
the masses. But the masses are slow-moving, and they always require a
certain time before they are ready even to notice a thing, and only after
the simplest ideas are repeated thousands of times will the masses finally
remember them." (Ibid. p. 185.)
"Propaganda tries to forces a doctrine on the whole people; the
organization embraces within its scope only those who do not threaten on
psychological grounds to become a brake on the further dissemination of
the idea." (Ibid. p.582.)
"Propaganda works on the general public from a standpoint of an idea and
makes them ripe for victory of this idea, while the organization achieves
victory by the persistant, organic , and militant union of those
supporters who seem willing and able to carry on the fight for victory."
(Ibid.)
"The first task of propaganda is to win people for subsequent
organization; the first task of organization is to win men for the
continuation of propaganda. The second task of propganda is the disruption
of the existing state of affairs and the permeatio of this state of
affairs with the new doctrine, while the second task of organiazation must
be the struggle for power, thus to achieve the final success of the
doctrine." (Ibid. p. 583.)
Please note, Mr. Bellinger, the that Hitler, for examle, writes above that
the "function of propaganda" is to "serve our [German/"Aryan"] own right,
always and unflinchingly." And how was propganda supposed to serve
Hitler's ends? Why, by "force[ing] a doctrine on the whole people" by
"repeat[ing] thousands of times" the "simplest ideas" until "the masses
finally remember them."
Sure sounds like Hitler was talking about the practical application of
"The Big Lie"to me, Mr. Bellinger!
Additionally, given the above context about harping on "slogans until the
last member of the public understands what you want him to understand," is
it not also somewhat informative that Hilter, in _Mein Kampf_, (according
to the index) mentions Jews about 150 times? Marxism some 80 times? Race
some 25 times? And Social Democracy about 20 times? (In comparison, Hitler
mentions the NSDAP a little over 50 times.)
And Mr. Bellinger has the chutzpuh to imply that Hitler was not a master
of "The Big Lie?" How droll. This, of course, is hardly suprising given
that Mr. Bellinger is himself a student of "The Big Lie." After all, what
else should one expect from an anti-Semitic lying scumbag Nazi apologist?
For those interested in proof of Mr. Bellinger's increasingly irrelevant
Nazi apologia, Holocaust denial, intellectual dishonesty, anti-Semitism,
and outright lies, please peruse DejaNews and visit the Nizkor Project at:
