A recent interview done by Luke Rudkowski has raised the question that perhaps Mr. Sunstein, Obama's chief information officer may be too like minded with Goebbels. What did Goebbels, the Nazi Propaganda Minister have to say?
"Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as
it is favourable to the other side, present it according to the
theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of
the truth which is favourable to its own side. (...) The receptive
powers of the masses are very restricted, and their understanding is
feeble. On the other hand, they quickly forget. Such being the case, all
effective propaganda must be confined to a few bare essentials and
those must be expressed as far as possible in stereotyped formulas.
These slogans should be persistently repeated until the very last
individual has come to grasp the idea that has been put forward. (...)
Every change that is made in the subject of a propagandist message must
always emphasize the same conclusion. The leading slogan must of course
be illustrated in many ways and from several angles, but in the end one
must always return to the assertion of the same formula."

Hitler himself is quoted as saying: "...Its credibility doesn't matter. The victor will not be asked whether he told the truth."
All this to say that if you don't know history, if you don't know the truth, you are destined to see history repeat itself and swallow any lie that comes your way from authority.
