This is the second of an updated version of a series published in January 2024, formerly called “Smokescreens.” After debate, the two old geezers decided to change the new title to Misdirection. A smokescreen is a concept that entails hiding something. While some of the content is hidden, as the series shows, that’s only part of the story. We think the main goal is to mislead, to send the public in the wrong direction, and to pay attention to the wrong concepts, hence the title change.
