David Mamet had a famous saying, essentially: …‘in order for genuine liberals to continue their illogical belief systems they have to pretend not to know a lot of things’… By pretending not to know, there is no attachment to any adverse consequences.
In essence, liberalism maintained -in the face of overwhelming empirical evidence- requires feelings to overcome logic in the ongoing game of make believe.  Hence, cognitive dissonance is a defining principle as large numbers of people need to be swayed to act against their own best interests.
To retain the larger ruse, Alinsky expanded on (many would say took advantage of) the necessary dissonance and various illogical shell games (system overload) became a component of his modern approach.
We have witnessed some of the most intense distraction shell games being played in the past ten days.  Feeling overwhelmed?… that’s by design, not happenstance.

With the Clinton campaign narrative solidly in hand the MSM have been fast-hand shuffling the shells to keep the Trump campaign off balance and the larger electorate distracted.   In the current political shell game, logical focus is the enemy.  If you know the pea was dropped below the table, you wouldn’t even bother making a guess about location when the shells stop moving.

The Example: The Michigan Democrat Primary was held on March 8th 2016.
WikiLeaks most recent releases show in the last week of February and first week of March 2016 the U.S. Media was doing all they could to aid the Clinton Campaign.  -It’s all out in the open now-  Talking points were distributed by the campaign and pushed heavily by the pro-Clinton media water-carriers, including media polling organizations….

• Monmouth (Patrick Murray) Poll March 7th had Clinton up by 13 points.
• ARG Poll March 6th had Clinton up by 24 points.
• Fox Poll March 7th had Clinton up by 27 points.

Bernie Sanders Won by 1.5 Points.

Earlier today candidate Donald Trump announced a proposition to institute term limits for all members of congress:  A constitutional amendment for six years in the House, and twelve years in the Senate:

There is another major announcement I am going to make today as part of our pledge to drain the swamp in Washington. If I am elected President, I will push for a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress.
Decades of failure in Washington, and decades of special interest dealing, must come to an end. We have to break the cycle of corruption, and we have to give new voices a chance to go into government service. The time for Congressional term limits has arrived.  ~ Donald Trump

Quick as a flash, CNN rushes to the microphones and typeset.
In what can only be described as the current intelligence customarily found amid the Clinton News Network, host and pundit Brooke Baldwin looks at her panel, smugly and condescendingly replying:

 …. “there are already term limits, so what does he mean”?

Earlier today it was reported that Secretary of State John Kerry had requested the government of Ecuador to cut off internet access for WikiLeaks head Julian Assange. The U.S. State Department denies such a claim.   However, according to NBC-Universal (not coincidental), the access has indeed been cut.

In the second video of James O’Keefe’s new series on the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign, Democratic party operatives tell us how to successfully commit voter fraud on a massive scale. Scott Foval, who has since been fired, admits that the Democrats have been rigging elections for fifty years:

Today candidate Donald Trump is holding two rallies in Colorado.  The first event is being held in Colorado Springs, CO at Norris-Penrose Event Center.  There are three or four different Trump schedules each with a different start time.
The campaign website says 1:00pm MT or 3:00pm EDT.  However, all the live-streams are wildly different.  Some say 10:00am, some noon, others 1:00pm. Who knows?
