The International Jew: The World's Problem published in Henry Ford's newspaper The Dearborn Independent (1920), an offshoot of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion giving rise to the ZOG conspiracy theory.

The big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda technique where someone tells a huge, outrageous lie repeatedly until people start to believe it. Adolf Hitler described this idea in his 1925 book Mein Kampf, explaining that people are more likely to believe a massive lie than a small one because they can't imagine anyone would dare to lie about something so big.
