Beware of shiny objects and loud noises

That aim to get your attention.

Don't look at the car wreck on the side of the road. Look at that helicopter! Do you think they're looking for migrants?

There is an all-out effort to divert people's attention away from what is happening with the Epstein files.

The American people need to learn how to identify "shiny objects", such as re-naming the Washington football team, or bringing back Sambo's restaurant, or posting videos of Obama getting arrested, or making outlandish statements to draw attention.

They want to manipulate what people see, hear, and think.

The American people only need to ask one question.
