“When one man dies it is tragedy, when thousands die it’s statistics.” Stalin

People are disinclined to believe monstrous crimes, especially since monstrous crimes are usually camouflaged by Big Lies. Hitler knew about the value of the Big Lie, and he wrote about it in Mein Kampf.
Stalin too was aware of the power of monstrous crimes. He is said to have observed that “when one man dies it is tragedy, when thousands die it’s statistics.”
People are even less inclined to believe that their own country perpetuates these crimes. On a subterranean level, people associate the search for truth as being somehow unpatriotic, even as it means a struggle for freedom from the totalitarian shackles of undemocratic governance that advances secret agendas through its manipulation of the masses.
Silence in the face of the lies of totalitarianism is a form of complicity.
Humanity’s inclination to accept monstrous crimes and the lies that camouflage them means that the crimes are perpetuated, time and again, throughout history. Those responsible for engineering the crimes are aware of this.
We now know, for example, that the Bush and his aides lied 935 times in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq, and that they provided false evidence as a pretext for the invasion. Despite the fact that about one million people have already died as a result of this massive criminal enterprise, the public somehow remains delusional and ready to accept the next big crime and the next batch of lies.
