Juncker: "I had to lie."

I blogged about this earlier, but in this video, Luxembourg Prime Minister and President of the Euro Group Jean-Claude Juncker admits, "I had to lie."  Everyone in the room laughs.  Good luck to us serfs.

Frightening quote

Anybody find this quote disturbing--and too close to home?

“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
