The art of misdirection: The Left is
manipulating the narrative on gun-control
By Glenn Beck. June 29th, 2018
The Art of War by Sun Tzu is largely predicated on misdirection as a tactical strength in warfare. In it, he advises:
Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment -- that which they cannot anticipate.
The attentive viewer, the careful listener can spot even the cleverest misdirection. It's that nagging feeling, that twinge in your gut, the suspicion that something just ain't right. You can sense a con and you don't like it. You can tell that something sinister is at play. The media has perfected an agenda-setting approach to news that is deception at its finest. They control the narrative, the framing, the output of information.
So when the media swarmed around the February 14th massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, many of us suspected that something else was going on.
Why all the focus on this killing? Why now? Why such vigor? Why didn't the Las Vegas killer provoke the same reaction? And how did the entire thing turn into a circus of protests and outrage so intense that most of us forgot where we should even be looking?
As Sun Tzu wrote, "In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity."
....... 
As Glenn Beck states - "No one is pursuing truth -- everyone is just persuing victory." And - "If we're going to survive, we have to stop all the instant outrage and ground ourselves in principles and in the truth." Whether the left will ever follow such logic remains pretty much a pipe dream.
