  1. “If you give a man the correct information for seven years,
    he may believe the incorrect information on the first day of
    the eighth year when it is necessary, from your point of
    view, that he should do so. Your first job is to build the
    credibility and the authenticity of your propaganda, and
    persuade the enemy to trust you although you are his enemy.”
