The Erosion Of Truth As Trump Prepares To Take Office
The President-elect is now labeling any news coverage hes not happy with
as fake.

Its been a month since we launched investigatingtrump.com - dedicated to
curating the best reporting on the impending presidency of Donald J.
Trump. Given, his choices for Cabinet and White House staff, his refusal
to divest his holdings and release his tax returns so that his many
conflicts of interest can be assessed and his continuing stream of Tweets
denigrating protesters, political rivals, the intelligence community and
journalists, its clear that this platform has arrived none too soon.
.
This week at his first press conference in 168 days, when he falsely
accused CNN of airing fake news in its coverage of the dossier of alleged
Russian kompromat, Mr. Trump told reporters, thats something that Nazi
Germany would have done and did do. I think its a disgrace that
information that was false and fake and never happened, got released.
.
One has to wonder whether the Third Reich reference, which began that day
in one of his vitriolic early morning tweets, wasnt just another Trumpian
slip, given the number of allusions to der Fuher that crept into his
candidacy.
.
By now it shouldnt have been a surprise. After, all, Mr. Trump is of
German heritage. His father Fred, whom he reveres, was arrested at a KKK
rally in 1927 and ex-wife Ivana once revealed that her husband kept My New
Order, a book of Adolph Hitlers speeches in a cabinet by their bed.
.
Now, less than a week out from the inauguration, as we consider the path
that led to Donald Trumps ascension, its worth noting that the most
effective tool in his political arsenal was first forged by Joseph
Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda, who perfected the big lie
theory first enunciated in Vol. 1 Chapter 6 of Hitlers frightening
manifesto Mein Kampf.
.
Later, Goebbels later put it this way:
.
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.
.
So lets look back on how the 45th President of the United States worked
that strategy.
