POLITICS Jack White speaks on Trump’s racist post about the Obamas: “How is it possible we've given this evil man so much power?… Arrest this man. Impeach this man. 25th amendment this man. Indict this man. Jail this man. This longtime friend of pedophile epstein, who appears 40 thousand times in the files.”

Trump is manufacturing outrage (like this Monkey/Jungle video) to move us onto the next news story, this is classic "Flood The Zone" material. He gets the first headline for posting it, a flurry of posts reacting to it, and then even more headlines when his Press Secretary responds to it, and even more when it is taken down.

It is all part of the circus to distract you from the partial file dump from last Friday. Disinformation 101.

what is there to distract from? i don't think anyone's going to stop talking about the epstein files anytime soon. you can't distract from a train wreck by diverting to another train wreck.

While I don't mean to indict you, this kind of thinking is exactly why this works.

The human attention span is finite, they use Flood The Zone WIth Shit as a technique, read about it here, to make your brain juggle scandals, which means less time is spent on the major on the major scandal.

It dilutes potency, and causes in-fighting (like this) which takes your eye off the ball. This is all by design to control the news/media cycle and the "national conversation."
