SOCIALISTS' BIG LIE PROPAGANDA EXPOSED
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from
Alabama (Mr. Brooks) for 5 minutes.
Mr. BROOKS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, a ``big lie'' is a political
propaganda technique made famous by Germany's National Socialist German
Workers' Party. But more on that later.
For more than 2 years, Socialist Democrats and their fake news media
allies, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, Washington Post, and countless
others, have perpetrated the biggest political lie, con, scam, and
fraud in American history.
Attorney General Barr's executive summary of Mueller's report has
publicly confirmed what many of us have known for a long time. The
accusations of collusion between President Trump and Russia in the 2016
elections are nothing but a big lie.
The Mueller investigation was massive. It ``employed 19 lawyers who
were assisted by a team of approximately 40 FBI agents, intelligence
forensic accountants, and other professional staff. The special counsel
issued more than 2,800 subpoenas, executed nearly 500 search warrants,
obtained more than 230 orders for communication records . . . and
interviewed approximately 500 witnesses.''
After tens of millions of wasted American tax dollars, the finding is
succinct: ``The report does not recommend any further indictments, nor
did the special counsel obtain any sealed indictments that have yet to
be made public. . . .''
The investigation ``did not establish that members of the Trump
campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian Government in its
election interference activities.''
The Mueller report vindicates President Trump and his 2016 campaign
from the Socialists' baseless, reckless, and false big lie charges of
Russian election collusion.
Equally important, there is a converse to President Trump's
vindication.
Mueller's report confirms that Socialist Democrats and their fake
news media allies made up nonexistent allegations and engaged in the
most sordid of fake news, big lie propaganda, scam, fraud, and smear
campaign in American history.
Socialist Democrats and their fake news media allies were shameless,
shameless in their big lie scam that has inspired hatred against
President Trump and violence against Americans who support America's
foundational principles.
If Socialists and the fake news media had any honor, they would
cleanse their souls and atone for their sins by uttering mea culpas and
apologizing to the American people for the fraud and scam committed.
More likely, however, they will double down and propagate even more
big lies, because doubling down is essential to big lie theory. In that
vein, I quote from another Socialist who mastered big lie propaganda to
a maximum and deadly effect.
``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.''
Who is this big lie master? That quote was in 1925 by a member of
Germany's National Socialist German Workers' Party. That is right,
Germany's Socialist Party, more commonly known as the Nazis. The author
was Socialist Adolph Hitler in his book, ``Mein Kampf''.
Mr. Speaker, America can either learn from history or be doomed to
repeat it.
When it comes to big lie political propaganda in America, as the
Mueller
[[Page H2766]]
report confirms, America's Socialists and their fake news media allies
are experts and have no peers.
Regardless, America must reject their big lies or succumb to the
danger that lurks and horrific damage that results.
