We live in the age of misdirection, after the ages of force, cover-ups and lying the new methods for those in power to not be held accountable for there act is finally in full swing and this time they can pin it on us, that they got away with it.
Instead of hiding it or lying about it, instead of using (the threat of) violence, we have entered the age of Misdirection and distraction: those in power will tell the truth, and take minimal responsibility for it except of coarse they will point and focus us on some irrelevant detail either closely related or more distant so that the legitimate outcry about a subject is redirected to something ultimate irrelevant.
Case to point; and nothing makes this more obvious than the current financial crisis, in Great Britain there was recently outcry about the spending of thousands of pounds of bank bailout money on campaign. Very unimportant stuff that keep the media, the people from asking: what have you done with those billions pounds we gave you?
In the USA similar stories arise but the numbers are bigger: the public should not be worried that they used a billion for bonuses of not; ask them more what they did with the about 1.5 trillion dollars that they gave them.
This is the age of misdirection, the age where instead of hiding information or corrupting it they simply dump a lot of it and point at a detail of little relevance and much emotional value.
Because you see it's not deep undercover investigations that reveals these misappropriates funds but its the perpetrators themselves that reveal it almost directly, a clear sign of misdirection in action.
Clarification of the obvious: I don't condone the misuse of public money, I simply don't accept that you should focus on 1% of something that is clearly made public so you would blindly ignore 99% of it.
