Who among the following stated that "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it" ?

  • A.Gobbles
  • B.John Foster Dulles
  • C.Andrew Gramico
  • D.Anthony Eden

Answer: A

The statement is attributed to Goebbels (spelt 'Gobbles' in the paper).

Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda from 1933 to 1945, is the figure to whom this description of the 'big lie' is popularly credited, and it is quoted under his name in textbooks on propaganda and psychological warfare. No exact source for the wording has been found in his own writings, but the attribution is the conventional one.

John Foster Dulles was the American Secretary of State associated with brinkmanship, Anthony Eden the British Prime Minister at the time of Suez, and 'Andrew Gramico' is not a recognised figure.
