Just another D.C. distraction

Answer: Nothing of any consequence concerning the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy on November 22, 1963. But then, the docs weren’t released by the Archives to provide new and revelatory information about what happened that day. Consider the array of stories currently featured in the media. There’s the installments-release of Twitter docs resulting from Elon Musk’s ownership of the website. Those docs outline the co-conspiratorial relationship between the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, and former Twitter employees. Refract that against the claim made by the former co-founder and CEO of Twitter, Jack Patrick Dorsey, that he was unaware of the on-going collusion between the Bureau and his Twitter staff. His explanation is like the patented claim of Sergeant Schultz of Stalag 13 fame. And, there’s the evolving saga of Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX that was conveniently stalled by his arrest just as he was about to testify before the U.S. House of Representatives. Then there’s the pending end of Title 42 that promises to take a bad situation on the American southern border and turn it even worse when it expires on December 21, 2022.

There’s just too much in the news that isn’t pretty to the D.C. Swamp

There’s just too much in the news that isn’t pretty to the D.C. Swamp. It was time to create a distraction. One that would pretend to offer new insights into an American tragedy that remains unexplained and still pondered by those who remember that day in Dallas. It was time for the media to spin away from focusing on current events of national concern and, once again, crawl into the rabbit hole of November 22, 1963. It was shiny-object time. “Look over here at the shiny object and let’s go back in time and learn what really happened.” Well, at least let’s pretend we might know more now. We don’t. All governments lie. Some are just better at it than others. Particularly when it comes to history. All governments create distractions to divert the attention of their citizenry away from undesirable current events. Distraction is an intentional act designed to move a population away from focusing on things that are real, and really important. Distraction is the opposite of traction. Traction is what moves the focus of a people toward what is clear, current, and of immediate and critical importance. Governments use distraction to promote lies when they live in fear of the truth.
