The Big Lie (1951 film)
The Big Lie was a 1951 anti-communist propaganda film produced by the US Army.
It begins with the quote by Adolf Hitler:" The great masses will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one" and likens the Communist regimes of the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, China and North Korea to the former Nazi regime.
It then exposes the creation of Kremlin- controlled puppet regimes in those countries, describing how the people were" sold out."
Consistent with American thinking of the time, the People's Republic of China is also described as a Soviet puppet state, although it never was an actual Soviet puppet.
Footage of marching is shown for each of the satellite states.
Imagery goes back and forth between Nazi and communist themes in an attempt to link the two ideologies and persuade the still- reeling public that communism was as dangerous as Nazism.
The final part of the film attacks peace movements linked to the Communists, contrasting their rhetoric with the realities of Communist warmongering in Greece, Indochina, Korea and China.
The concluding slogan is" Beware the big lie!
Beware the dove that goes BOOM!"
It shows a cartoon – first used by the French anti-communist group" Paix et Liberté" – of a dove metamorphosing into a Soviet tank – it s wings have become tank treads, and it s head is a tank turret.

Waco, the Big Lie
Waco, the Big Lie is a 1993 American documentary film directed by Linda Thompson that presents video based analysis regarding the Waco siege.
The first film made about the Waco siege, "Waco, the Big Lie" gained significant notoriety when it was viewed during the trial of American domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh.
As part of the defense, McVeigh's lawyers showed "Waco, the Big Lie" to the jury.
In 1994, the film was followed by a feature-length sequel titled "Waco II, the Big Lie Continues", aimed at addressing criticisms of the original.
Thompson's films made a number of controversial allegations, the most famous of which was her claim that footage of an armored vehicle breaking through the outer walls of the compound showed a flamethrower attached to the vehicle, setting fire to the building.
As a response to Thompson, filmmaker released footage to support his counter-claim that the appearance of light was a reflection on aluminized insulation that was torn from the wall and snagged on the vehicle.
McNulty accused Thompson of "creative editing" in his film "Waco: An Apparent Deviation".
Thompson worked from a VHS copy of the surveillance tape; McNulty was given access to a beta original.
However, McNulty in turn was later accused of having digitally altered his footage, an allegation he denied.
John Young of the "Waco Tribune-Herald" criticized the film, questioning the evidence behind Thompson's claims.
