TheHouse…

I am assuming your question about nazi quotes was a real one.

i admit.. i have always thought the basic line that if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear came from Goebbells… and then was echoed by Orwell in 1984…

i don’t even know if that makes sense chronologically.. and i didn’t check that.

however, i did try to source the quote and in doing so read enough of Goebbells to make me physically ill…

although he alludes to that concept in more than one speech, i didn’t find the phrase or paraphrase.

that doesn’t mean it isn’t there.. just that i didn’t have stomach enough to read any more.

and i didn’t try reading any of his fellow nazis.

i did find a site where other people were looking for answers to the same questions.. but lots of political talk and no citations.

I also remember hearing a paraprase of that concept in relation to the purges in Russia after Lenin…

but again.. i couldn’t source it.

Maybe someone else will do a better job than i.
