He buried his head in the sand and refused to entertain any thought that could threaten the story he had in his head - where he was the strong, determined leader fighting against subversive elements trying to seize power by playing up a phantom enemy. | |

But unless Fudge was voluntarily supporting Voldemort's cause, I don't see how he could have benefited in the end. Unless he was trying to pull an Umbridge, hoping he'd be in the Death Eaters' good books when they took over. IMHO, I just don't see Fudge having the brains or the forethought to be that devious. | |

Yet it was still done because the victor woud write history and then Nazi Germany thought it would be victorious. It was obvious to anyone but no one felt to have enough power to actually challenge Fudge on it and he might have known that. | |

It doesn't print things he doesn't want printed, and there's a serious dearth of independent journalists in Magical Britain. Also, most wizards seem to be just completely non-curious. They accept what they've been told without asking many questions. | |
| Aug 31, 2017 at 14:42 | comment | added | ʀᴇᴅ_ᴅᴇᴠɪʟ226 | Yeah I realized it was obviously a cover up by the Ministry (Fudge mainly). I guess I'm just surprised at how obvious the holes in Fudge's explanation of the events are. And also how he blatantly chose to ignore evidence. And also how almost everyone in the Ministry (and the Daily Prophet) chose to blindly follow him. | |
