Can anyone help find this quote about Propaganda?

[NormanYorkstein]

It's a well known quote (I think) and I have not been able to google it. Here is a very bad paraphrase based on my faulty memory:

"Propaganda creates a language or a vocabulary such that saying anything that deviates from the official doctrine automatically stands out and sounds wrong".

I have been trying to find this all day!

1. My guess is Chomskey. Sorry it's just a guess.

[The Blue Flower]

2. Probably from the Orwell essay

Check to see if it's from the George Orwell essay on propaganda. It sounds like it.

[NormanYorkstein]

3. that was my first thought too

I thought it was Orwell but couldn't find it.

4. Is this what you are looking for?

“Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune.”

Chomsky

5. have you looked at mein kampf?

it has the same concept about repetition making "truth".
I think different translations may have different emphasis.

6. My guess: you can find a similar assertion throughout human history.

Just a guess.

[NormanYorkstein]

8. I think you are right

but there is a specific quote I remember but cannot find. One of the reasons I think is because it's paraphrased so often - I'm sure Orwell and Chomsky has paraphrased but I have been unable to find the original quote I'm looking for...

7. Edward Bernays might be your man

9. "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act" ...

That's Orwell.

Or:


"The goal of modern propaganda is no longer to transform opinion but to arouse an active and mythical belief."
Jacques Ellul

10. This isn't the one you are looking for,but it's one of my faves..

"In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot." --Czeslaw Milos

Every time I read it,I am reminded of the current regime.
