Could anyone let me know the source of George Orwell's quote, "All propaganda is a lie even when its telling the truth"?

This quote comes from Orwells book "1984". He wrote the book so I assume he is the source of the quote.

First of all, it's an allegory to the fall of Russia, not an alliteration. Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. As for what Orwell is saying, the story is about communism. In communism, the individual makes sacrifices for the society; rather than working for his own good, he works for the good of everyone, and takes no more than his fair share. The hard-working horse (I forgot his name) does everything he can for the society, and gives all he can. Going the other way, society has an obligation to keep each individual at an equal standard of living - nobody is lower than anybody else.

It could be this one:\n\n"For only the truth which edifies is truth for you."

Very good quotes,  If you think those are scary try reading the Declearation of independence.  \n"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government"\n\nWhat does you question have to do with Bush suporters?

Ummm... I would be very careul about what I read and more importantly, what I believe. The "Communist Party" isn't the only group to partake in propaganda.

"...From my own intelligence work within the military, I can say WITH ALL CERTAINTY that one of the main reasons the public has been kept in total darkness about the reality of UFOs and 'aliens', is that the truth of the matter actually exists TOO CLOSE TO HOME TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT.  How could a spokesman for the Pentagon dare admit that five or ten thousand feet underground EXISTS AN ENTIRE WORLD THAT IS 'FOREIGN' TO A BELIEF STRUCTURE WE HAVE HAD FOR CENTURIES? How could, for example, our fastest bomber be any challenge to those aerial invaders when we can only guess about the routes they take to the surface; eluding radar as they fly so low, headed back to their underground lair?"\n\n"...the 'Greys' or the 'EBEs' have established a fortress, spreading out to other parts of the U.S. via means of a vast underground tunnel system THAT HAS VIRTUALLY EXISTED BEFORE RECORDED HISTORY..."\n\n--Milton (William) Cooper, ex-Naval Intelligence officer

about a controlling totalitarian govt??\n\nditch the word "controlling" or u can use the term "ruling"\n\n\ntry to make thr first statement in the "not only - but also" form.\n\nGeorge Orwell’s "1984" is not only about a controlling totalitarian government, but also about one man's....\n\noverthrow an opposing govt..??? why would he want to overthrow a govt not in power??\n\nleader's control "over" a nation "using" fear.\n\norwell's novel is a forewarning (ditch the "is a beckon") as to what "would" happen if an induvidual comes to power and the costs to retain power.\n\n\nthe world is created, in resemblance "to" Russia,during...\n\n\ntoday's society . The "suppression"\n(would be more appropriate)\n of freedom caused misery among the people of Oceania and thus they sought a revolution.\n\n\nPls edit the last para (Big brother.... at any given moment)..makes little sense.\n\nmy idea : \nBig brother hears any sound that Winston makes and any sound louder than a whisper is picked up. And as long as he remained within the range of the metal plate, he could be seen and heard.  \n\n\n\nfinally..\nIn the novel, orwell uses the concept of communism and it's effect on the people.\n\n\n\n\nWell.. those were all the possible suggestions i could give u. Some of my suggestions can be dropped since i have no idea about this passage's context (George Orwell's 1984) .

What the Man wants you to know!\n\nIf it's from your government it's public information.\n\nIf it's from someone else's government it's propaganda.

...I haven't time now to look up quotes, but I know on this web site.  Mr. Barton has done oodles of research on the founders.  I strongly urge you to check this site out - and you could spend hours on it.  We bought several of his tapes, and they are very good.\n...His findings would certainly annoy the ACLU, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, and others who wish to cloud and/or revise history and rob us of our heritage.\nhttp://www.wallbuilders.com/

Governments have always lied to the people.  In the worst cases, it's malicious -- a bid for power, money, whatever -- but in the case of the U.S. I sincerely believe that many of the lies have a more mundane purpose: communication.  Korlach Kyle is right -- you keep the people ignorant and they won't rise up.  The thing is, that the lies are not the cause of the ignorance but the effect.  Few of us have the time to deeply understand the issues.  I don't.  So the power brokers, whose job it is to understand the issues, simplify for us.  In the act of simplification, history is written and something between half-truths and lies are told.  We're fortunate in this country that the truth is largely discoverable if we're willing to search for it and demand it.  This last fact is relative.  Freedom of information changes.  Recently, we've elected to sacrifice some of our freedom, and some of our information, for security, but balancing this is the huge increase in the disemmination of info via the internet.  Dissemination, of course, is not the same as availability.  It would be a shame if we agreed to continue in this direction -- curtailing more freedoms for security -- out of fear.  We are a fearful people -- afraid of germs, afraid of fanatics, afraid of arguments, afraid of thinking too hard -- but we're also a fiercely proud people.  Already our representatives on both sides of the aisle are beginning to insist on our freedoms back as the ant farm gets its peace back.

I think that quote came from a philosopher or a writer during the times wherein swords and spears are the only weapons and guns are not yet invented. These kind of men fought their government by writing novels,essays poems,etc. denouncing the dictatorship of their leaders. Instead of a bloody revolt,w/c means taking up arms (swords),they choose to convey their grievances w/c in turn influenced the public. Because of what they learned from the writings.the public revolt causing many governments to topple down.
