That's very close to what Joseph Goebbels said:

http://thinkexist.com/quotation/-if_...ng/345877.html

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

George Orwell couldn't have phrased that better himself...that's
straight out of the "1984" world.
