Deconstructing Some of the Significant Big Lies of Our Time Since 9/11

Making the Public Mind on Big Lies for Engineering Consent for "United We Stand"

Most highly educated people I have encountered in my personal and professional life as an engineer don't actually understand what a Big Lie is, let alone how that diabolical concept is deployed for engineering consent in our own age. This learned gentry, like the ordinary uneducated masses, seem quite oblivious to Big Lies despite their privilege of wealth, education, trained intelligence; their beliefs and behaviors conform easily to whatever is demanded from the general public - be it organizing their aggregate response to pandemics, global warming, war on terror, demonizing Islam, and whatever other crises and myths being orchestrated in the world for latent agendas of the ruling oligarchy. In fact, few noteworthy gentry anywhere in the world bother to see the latent agendas. Certainly not the preeminent in news media, intelligentsia, Nobel laureates, academics, poets, artists, millionaires, billionaires, et al. They are all too invested in their social standing to rock the boat. It is often the one called heretic who stands up.
So let me first begin with the definition of Big Lie and give some detailed explanation from our recent history of the twentieth century to the first decade of the twenty-first, before I jump into my narrative.

Introduction to the Big Lie

Here is the dictionary definition:

Big Lie

noun

a false statement of outrageous magnitude employed as a propaganda measure in the belief that a lesser falsehood would not be credible.

Matching Quote

“... All this was inspired by the principle — which is quite true in itself -- that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes.”
