		<description>It started during the campaign, but inauguration didn&#039;t stop it.

They drop a bomb to cover the evidence every time they take an action or make a move. Most people are taken by surprise and can&#039;t respond effectively because at the time it seems plausible. (Remember the &quot;thousands of Arabs in New Jersey celebrating the 9/11 attacks&quot;?) By the time the story is sorted out and cleared up, they have moved on to something else--and of course, THEIR followers never follow up on the story.

This is not accidental or the result of mere sloppiness.  It is a deliberate tactic to keep the opposition off balance and the base in a state of perpetual outrage.  The result is that the key story and vital questions, and the lie, are lost in the shuffle.  And of course, anything reported by the opposition or the Press is dismissed as hateful Liberal MSM lies.

For example, Trump&#039;s tax returns and his conflict of interest issues have been conveniently forgotten-two weeks after the inauguration, and two months after the election. I suspect we will never know, unless historians research it in the far future.

But remember, its only a matter of time before he has to start lying and making things up to keep them hidden from his followers and his base.  The question is, will they protest at being conned, or will they pretend not to notice in order to conceal that they have been so artfully conned.  If we start getting statistics of severe problems with the economy, or disasters on the battlefield, will they be reported honestly and fairly, and if they can&#039;t be covered up, will they just be blamed on Obama?  I see the hand and mind of Goebbels at work here.   Someone has done his homework.</description>
