Someone once said. If you tell a lie loud enough, and often enough, it becomes truth. Or words to that effect.

The complete quote is:
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
Joseph Goebbels did say it and was Hitler's Master of Propaganda.

Right - and I’ve heard another old adage that applies to Martin: “He makes sense in inverse proportion to his volume.”

I don’t know if they were the first but that was the Nazi’s tactic in Germany. And they openly told each other that such was the only way to convince people to believe the lie.
