So I'm minding my own business watching a little Nat Geo for enlightening entertainment and my mind starts to ping. Wait a second. What? Did he just say... Yes, he did. This particular episode of Brain Games centers around how the brain process attention, distraction, and illusion. Advance to 4:23:
OK, let's review:
- Top Down Attention
- Bottom Up Attention
Even if you know how the tricks work you still can be fooled.
Now compare what we've just learned to Obama's former Green Jobs Czar and self-avowed Marxist and Communist, Van Jones. Advance to 7:57 (unless you're a total glutton for punishment).
"A governing movement is three things... Top down, bottom up, and inside out. So now your challenge...is to take care of that bottom up part."
Clearly the technique of distraction is not new to politics. But take a moment and reflect on the media-driven messages of the student created, Soros funded, union organized Occupy Wall St protests. Does this offer more context now? So if this fringe group are supposedly the bottom up governors of the movement then what are their counterparts, the top down decision makers, simultaneously orchestrating?
Obama's jobs bill can't pass so he administratively jams parts of it through rendering Congress unnecessary. Holder/Fast and Furious scandal heats up. Obama deploys 100 troops to Africa to advise but not engage (on a Friday afternoon so the story is dumped).
The American people's pockets are being picked right before our eyes.

Clever comparison, Duchess. And interesting. And yes, I did happen to notice the troops sent to Africa. But just barely. *head shake* Pitiful.
