Interesting Quote
This quote was at the beginning of a book I just started to read
"It is easier to believe a lie one has heard a thousand times than believe a fact one has never heard before"
author unknown....
first thing that i thought of was the "facts" that Bloomberg and his Nannies and all the other anti's put out... and how they down want to listen to what other's are saying

I thought it sounded like something Mark Twain might have said.
I am not and have never been a LEO. My avatar is in honor of my friend, Dallas Police Sargent Michael Smith, who was murdered along with four other officers in Dallas on 7.7.2016.

Then there's always the Joseph Goebbel's version. It is similar.

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.”
