“The principle–which is quite true within itself–that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation (or other bodies of persons) are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.
It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation, for the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.”

“The primary rules are: never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it”

AOC Watcher was launched on the premise that there were some problems with how the AOC conducted their business. We’re speculating that AOC Watcher was discontinued when it became apparent that the problems were much deeper and far more sinister than AOC Watcher cared to venture. What started out as a good idea stumbled into an unexpected landmine and the impetus for Judicial Council Watcher, the next evolution, powered by both media aggregation and our own investigative reporting.
Part of our mission here is to call your attention to the above three paragraphs that moved not only a whole nation – but we believe to be a condition of judicial branch awareness that is ripe for exploitation by others. Once you’re done studying the above three paragraphs, see how they might apply to current affairs in your own mind. Feel free to share with others with a comment

Interesting topic. I am fairly certain the Big Lie we have been living through will be noted in the history books. Especially when the who what when where why and hows are ultimately unraveled.
Meanwhile, it is Easter Sunday. A time of new beginnings. After those amazing snow and rainstorms, today the sun was shining, the snow was melting and the trees are budding and blooming. So gorgeous, so peaceful, so promising.
My prayer for this evening is that trust, confidence and integrity will be restored at all levels of the branch. Further, we will once again enjoy performing our jobs during the day, and resting with our loved ones at night.
Amen.

Part of the big lie can be found in the following post. Will a defective CCMS be accepted by the AOC in order to save face? Remember, this application was alleged to have been completed a year ago.
Where’s the beef?

How does an organization that perpetually misleads its underlings and associates & robs them of their allowance year after year get by with being called “branch leadership?”
Other substantial elements of the big lie
The trial court management financial bill of rights can be found in finance policies and procedures. There is no need for a seperate bill of rights like AB1208.
The facilities contracting policies and procedures stands in the stead of public contract code and contains the same provisions and protections intended to protect the taxpayer
Even though we allocated over 50+ million dollars a year to the unlicensed contractors operations over the course of five years we only really paid them 32 million and this is all we seek
We don’t need the legislature to subject our administrative meetings to the brown act or subject our public records to california’s sunshine laws. We’re transparent and accountable and can accomplish so much more with a rule of court. Besides, like everyone else, the media and the public don’t know what they’re talking about.
This committee with the impressive sounding name has been created to address your concerns about x. Please ignore that most of the stakeholders sitting on the committee are conflicted and that what they’re commissioned to do has no relation whatsoever to the impressive sounding name we gave it.
These five committees have been appointed because the credibility of just one committee has been hung out to dry. Yes, we’re aware that the mother of all oversight committees in this Charlie-Foxtrot of committees is comprised mostly of lower committee members providing oversight of themselves. You were not supposed to notice.
We checked with executive and legislative branches regarding the Kelso and Jones deals with Calpers. Although we seem to have permanently misplaced the opinions and never checked with Calpers, it is A-O-K primarily because King George and Mr. Bill says it is and as we all know these people say it like it is.
The rules of court are for those below us. They do not apply to those who sit on the council or its administrative agency, the AOC.
Team Jacobs? Who is Team Jacobs? We never heard of anyone named Team Jacobs.
Our contractors all obey the law and pay prevailing wages.
It costs just under $500.00 to change a light bulb. Sometimes the problems are more serious than that and it calls for retrofitting or replacing the fixture. Even though the retrofit kits are less than a hundred dollars and the new fixtures are less than $250.00, it can really cost up to $2,500.00 to change some light bulbs due to other problems.
$1,000.00 to lower a flag to half-mast at larson justice center and another $1,000.00 to raise that flag the next day is a good value.
We put everything out to bid in open, transparent and fair bidding processes.
Unlicensed contractors that owe us millions are considered “cured of all contractual breaches” for the purposes of submitting a bid on their replacements. Unlicensed contractors that owe us millions are considered “cured of all contractual breaches” for the purposes of becoming finalists in the deal of the decade facilities maintenance contract.
It is legal to destroy family court mediation and other related records because documents the judge evaluates and may act upon have no bearing whatsoever to the case file.
CCMS will be ready in sixty days.

As a friendly reminder, neither our Strategic Evaluation Committee nor our Accountability Committee are commissioned to look into any one of the elements of the big lie above, nor does an amended AB1208 address any of the issues fully.
I forgot an element of the big lie.
We reported the hundred thousand dollar embezzlement (though there is no record of a crime report anywhere on earth) and the district attorney chose not to prosecute
