In the mid to late 1930s and throughout the World War II years, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda Josef Goebbels helped the German National Socialist Party spread their message to the German people. Goebbels was a master of propaganda, helping create the environment in Germany that eventually led to the later crimes against humanity committed by the Nazi leadership.
The German people were fed a steady stream of whatever message the Nazi Party wanted them to receive. During the war most Germans knew that the Jews and other “undesirables” were being abused, but the true horror of the death camps was for the most part kept from them. Aside from the rumors many Germans heard, the fact is that only those who lived near or worked at one of the concentration camps themselves had any idea of the true nature of the atrocities being committed within those barbed-wired enclosures.
What happened in Germany during and after World War II was partly the result of an unwillingness to know or admit the truth, and something akin to a form of ‘national amnesia’. Created and exemplified by Josef Goebbels and the Nazi Propaganda Ministry’s efforts to justify the horrific crimes that were being done all in the name of German national security.
The current ‘Ministry of Propaganda’ under the Obama administration has taken the art of propaganda to a point that would make Josef Goebbels very proud. While every administration makes an effort to try to project the message they want to get out, that is certainly nothing new, but the Obama administration has followed the practice of lying and cover up to new levels of deceit and dishonesty.
By deleting certain phrases or terms from government usage, such as “radical Islam” and “Jihad” among many others, the Obama administration has spent over seven years following the example established by Josef Goebbels and his Nazi cohorts.
For years the Obama administration refused to even call terrorism by name, instead referring to terrorist attacks as “man-caused disasters”. “Global warming” became “climate change” when the scientific evidence showed that in fact the earth was cooling. Whenever something didn’t fit the narrative of the administration’s agenda they simply changed the narrative.
A perfect example is that while our consulate in Benghazi still burned the administration quickly created the “YouTube video lie,” which was capped off by the image of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton standing solemnly in front of flag-draped coffins in an airplane hanger at Andrews Air Force Base. While standing there in front of those who had died during an obvious terrorist attack on the anniversary of September 11, 2001, the secretary lied right to the faces of the families of the fallen, telling them that she was going to bring the “video-maker” to justice—a video-maker who had absolutely nothing to do with the deaths of the brave Americans in Benghazi, Libya.
And then later on during her own campaign for president candidate Hillary Clinton accused those same families of lying about this exchange, which in addition to showing what a despicable person she truly is, also shows her ability to easily tell a lie under any circumstance regardless of the solemnity of the situation.
For Hillary Clinton telling lies is simply a matter of habit and policy. Why take the chance of telling the truth which might backfire when a lie will work. Qualities clearly in tune with some of Josef Goebbels’ best efforts during the rise of National Socialism in Germany.
The Obama administration’s ongoing efforts to disarm the law-abiding American people by using the gun control lie is another example of propaganda at its best. If one tells a lie about gun control being the solution to gun violence enough times eventually people will begin to believe it is the truth.
The reality, however, is that the moral and ethical deterioration of American society is the true villain, not guns in the hands of law-abiding American citizens. This is similar to the lies told by Josef Goebbels to disarm the German people so they could not resist and fight back against the Nazi regime.
Following the Orlando terrorist attack the Obama administration’s Ministry of Propaganda decided that editing the transcripts of the telephone calls between the terrorist and the 911 operator, and removing any references that clearly identified the attacker as a radical Islamic terrorist was in the administration’s best interest. In other words, if the truth is inconvenient or doesn’t fit within the message the administration wants to convey, then simply create an illusion and tell a lie.
It’s quite obvious that the Ministry of Propaganda is alive and well in the Obama administration and candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign for president of the United States. The only thing missing is the snappy brown uniforms.
Wait just a minute! Obama has nappy... oh, wait, you said snappy............. Never mind.
The situation is even worse than reported. Hillary lies even when the truth would serve her well.
Don’t you just love that crease in his pants and the way he walks?
Goebbels had a PhD in philosophy from Heidelberg University.

NEVER forget these two facts!!
And let me add one of my own:
To water down the reality of the crime, the term "illegal alien" became "undocumented worker" and is now being transformed to "undocumented citizen" (!) by the Obama Ministry of Propaganda.
NEVER FORGET ANY OF THESE POINTS.
It’s easy to be a master of propaganda when you live in a closed, totalitarian society where only one point of view is permitted.
When I was in grad school I had a friend who was a Communist.
He was not your regular commie tho. He liked to shoot and liked guns. He also would sometimes admit what they were doing.
One day I mentioned how the left always seems to act in lock step. He said something which struck me as the secret truth.
He said that it was an unorganized conspiracy.
I know that sounds like a contradiction in terms but I instantly knew what he meant. The media, power elites, politicians etc. going all the way back to at least the French Revolution are all working on the same goal. It is not necessary to meet in secret tho I suspect that happens.
They all know what they are doing and they are doing anything they can to accomplish it. Lie, cheat, steal, or kill. They will do anything. They basically have no morality other than staying true to their goal.
Their goal is a world controlled by Satan even tho I suppose that is not what they would call it.
Willing accomplices in the media.
Yeah, I’m just gonna love watching his narrow butt walking away for the last time.
I can imagine the frosty atmosphere at the traditional inauguration day meeting between an outgoing Obama and an incoming Trump.
Obama would probably find a reason to be elsewhere.
She does not even know what truth is any more. Just like Obama. Always lie. Always.
Its been like the 30s all over again.. Party til the cows drop.
Obama’s not just a turd. He’s the most amateur turd to ever hold the office.
I know that sounds like a contradiction in terms but I instantly knew what he meant.
It absolutely is not a contradiction in terms.
People do not understand the etymology of the term, and thus do not understand its implications:
To conspire means to breathe together: to breathe the same air.
That “air” is totalitarian (Marxist or Muslim, in today’s context) ideology.
Obama does not have to give explicit directions to Lois Lerner and her ilk (although he may do, or have done, so); they breathe the same communistic, despotic, treasonous air.
Conspiracies are, in fact, the norm, not the exception: Every high school clique of the in crowd that keeps petty secrets from the out crowd is a conspiracy.
Humans are naturally social and conspiratorial: They find like-minded persons and form groups; the levels of socializing and conspiring obviously differ enormously group to group.
One of the Big Lies in American culture, promulgated, naturally, by the mainstream media, is that conspiracies do not exist, and that anyone who says they do is crazy.
The idea that the Bilderbergers, with their extraordinary armed security and thorough ban of the press, are somehow not a conspiracy in plain sight is ludicrous - yet the narrative is faithfully maintained by the left-wing media.
Among these ostensibly objective reporters are persons who actually belonged to JournoList - a conspiracy founded by Ezra Klein. Of course, this was a leftist conspiracy, because leftists rely upon secrecy and deceit, since open declaration of their true intentions would outrage normal, patriotic Americans.
Conservatives generally admit to being conservative; communists generally do not admit to being communist. The ones who are the most deeply conspiratorial are usually leftist at heart.
