From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Front page of Edouard Drumont's La Libre Parole (1893) with a caricature of a Jew grabbing the globe, implying their alleged desire to control the world. Caption: "Their Homeland".
The International Jew: The World's Problem published in Henry Ford's newspaper The Dearborn Independent (1920),[1] an offshoot of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion giving rise to the ZOG conspiracy theory.
A propaganda poster made by the Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI) implying that Black and Native Americans are the "real" descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. The BHI allege that the said peoples have been "wrongfully" classified by White imperialists into different ethnic groups across the Western hemisphere.

The big lie (German: große Lüge) is a lie of the truth, used as a propaganda technique.[2][3] The German expression was created by Adolf Hitler, when he wrote his 1925 book Mein Kampf, to describe the use of a lie so big that no one would believe it.
