                 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

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.
