18. How Do You Kill 11 Million People? By Andy Andrews

Oct 2016

This short book relates to the lies that are a constant part of what we hear from Trump, our congress people, and the media.

"...Through the lens of the Holocaust, Andy examines how Hitler was able to get eleven million people to march to their deaths with so little resistance. In short, he lied to them. And, sadly, they believed it.
If the truth is what sets us free, we need to ask what it means to live in a society where truth is absent, where we are routinely lied to by politicians of both parties, Wall Street, and the media. What is at stake? Can we survive in such a culture of deception?
Our only hope, Andy argues, is an informed citizenry that demands truth at every level—first from themselves and second from their leaders. We must be able to separate fact from fiction, truth from lies, and hold those who lie accountable."

Do you agree that we are being lied to on a scale that threatens the foundation of our civilization?
