When seeking to blame or cast fault, attention is generally directed everywhere other than where it is needed to understand or meaningfully respond to the actual situation — regardless of who may have catalyzed or instigated it. If you want to obliterate the capacity for intelligent response and the possibility of solving a problem… step zero is simply: organize a witch hunt.

This fact is well-known by our institutions, governments, media and corporations… and has been successfully deployed against the common people… daily for decades, if not centuries.
