Most interesting thread for a long time. Bravo
You forgot to mention that Wernher von Braun, the guy who made it possible to land a man on the moon by constructing the Saturn V rocket, had a very questionable past (putting it mildly to avoid the N-word).
In the picture he is the one in the middle of the last but one row, wearing civilian suit and certainly the one in the front row with the moustache doesn't need any introduction.
Now, who was it stated, that most people will believe the greatest lie?
That was very much the strategy of the Naz .. National Socialist Party, Goebbels - "when one lies, it should be a big lie, and one should stick to it." Anyway, he shot himself and good riddance.

And poor old Goebbels has no balls at aaaaaaallThat was very much the strategy of the Naz .. National Socialist Party, Goebbels - "when one lies, it should be a big lie, and one should stick to it." Anyway, he shot himself and good riddance.
No philosophy from me but here's a proper whopper;
Charles Ponzi, an Italian immigrant to the US, made a fortune off of lying to people. In fact, he was so good at deception that the government named a type of fraud after him—the Ponzi scheme.
In 1920, Ponzi tricked thousands of New England residents into investing in a postage stamp speculation scheme. He promised investors he could provide a whopping 50 percent return in just 90 days. Each time a new investor gave him money, he’d use those funds to pay off earlier investors, to create the illusion that they were profiting from a legitimate business.
At the height of his huge scam, he raked in $250,000 a day, about $3 million in today’s money. But his days of scheming and scamming caught up to him in August of that same year, when he was charged with 86 counts of mail fraud.
Them Klingon chicks never let me pay for dinner and that Gagh tickles my throat as it goes down.
