About technique, method and persistence in Disinformation.

I think that our friends (and foes) will be interested in this short but substantial message 


Dear Mr. Fogg.
Concerning your last question which is the most important and perhaps the only one valid, let me tell you this.
In Disinformation, persistence is basic and fundamental. The infamous Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda in the Third Reich saw this clearly when he said, I think in 1938, that “ a lie is
repeated one hundred times, becomes true.”
Let me show this as a fact and not a theory. The Breakaway Civilization idea is perhaps more absurd and impossible than the cover-up itself. “Nobody can believe that here, in this same planet there is a secret advanced civilization with its own space program and extraterrestrial advisers.”
Think in that “nobody” word Fogg, and let me tell you this. B.C. is an excellent and very effective sample of disinformation, and what R.N. does is great. He keeps talking about Breakaway Civilization. He persists in the nonsense because a lie repeated one hundred times becomes true.
Disinformation, Misinformation, Decoy, Double Binding, Lateral Logic, Paradox, Fiction to Fact are techniques, methods of a grand Strategy but we will not care about this now.
So, you will be wrong if you reject big nonsense thinking that the obviously absurd cannot be disinformation.
Instead, watch the persistence of the meme. Consider the apparent contradiction between the cultural background of the presumed disinformer and the absurdity of the nonsense he or she is working on.
Oh, and please, remember that my examples of disinformation are not necessarily so. My samples are just samples. That’s it.
Friendly yours
