George Orwell, 1984

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Noam Chomsky

No one will put the truth in your mind. It is something you have to discover for yourself.

Henry A. Wallace

The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism.

Dwight D. Eisenhower (in a letter to Gen. George C. Marshall, regarding The Holocaust)

The things I saw beggar description… The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty, and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. In one room, where they were piled up twenty or thirty naked men, killed by starvation, George Patton would not even enter. He said he would get sick if he did so. I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the near future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to ‘propaganda.’
