If you repeat a lie often enough...

“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.

“A lie told often enough becomes truth”
Vladimir Lenin.

This is, unfortunately, the standard modus operandi of the current fascist government. Chavez keeps belching, almost daily, that the gringos are coming, keeping the average Venezuelan from noticing the myriad of domestic problems that suffocate the nation. The trouble is that, while the average joe on the street is waiting for the impending invasion, the gringos are not even paying attention to Chavez 's vitriolic ranting, busy as they are, nabbing Arab terrorists. This is a lesson Chavez has learned well from the master puppeteer of Havana, who has been successfully blaming the Americans for his nefarious actions for decades now, and who has surrendered his soul to the devil in exchange for a life longer than Methuselah's.
