He is saying that if people manipulate you into asking wrong questions, or turn your head away from the truth then they don't have to worry about the truth being exposed. One example is that of the Nazi regime, they redirected questioning of the mass genocide of millions of Jews into questions such as "How does this benefit Germany?" rather than "Why are millions of Jews suffering?". By being able to change the perspective of the German people, the Nazi where able to avoid backlash and questioning.    

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

a foil character shows contrast with the qualities of another character. to emphasize the traits of the other character is the main objective. cassius is a foil to brutus, and brutus is a foil to antony. both cassius and antony conspire to kill caesar, but cassius is more prone to treachery than brutus is. thus, easily gives in to his evil ambition. brutus is a foil to antony because brutus’s honesty and simplicity are in clear contrast to antony’s qualities of deception and over-ambition.
