Thanks for the comment.

In PR )[progaganda) we do what stage magicians do

Here's an article for you: https://conjuror.community/misdirection-techniques/

Actually both "distraction" and "misdirection" are both misnomers "Distraction" implies confusion. Rather, it is "traction", moving our attention to another place. Similarly there is really no "mis" in misdirection. It is "direction" or re-direction.

Right now, the Empire of Lies is applying "traction" -- drawing us in certain directions, namely support for huge money-making projects for the US arms industry. It does this by directing our attention, so we "naturally" focus on what we fear. Nuclear War. "Bad" people. The Boogie Man. It's a kind of "bad jacketing" another terms we use in PR.
