The strategy of distraction is important not to give citizens the opportunity to obtain important knowledge in the field of science, economics, psychology, neurobiology and cybernetics. "Constantly distract citizens' attention from real social problems, keeping them in captivity issues that do not have a real value. Society must be busy, busy, busy, it should never think, right from the field - in the paddock, to other animals ».

Secondly, because the people in the mass is always inclined to feed the naive hope that "tomorrow everything will change for the better", and that the sacrifices which he is required to be avoided. It provides citizens with more time to get used to the idea of ​​change and humbly accept them, when the time comes.

"If you refer to the addressee, if he had 12 years or less, according to the laws of perception is likely that it will respond or react uncritically - as a child" ("Silent weapons for quiet wars»).

10. Be aware of the people more than they are about themselves

Over the last 50 years scientific advances have led to the rapid growth of the knowledge gap between the bulk of the society and those who belong to the ruling elites, or used by them.
