Ever hear of the Delphi Technique?
It's based on the Hegelian Theory, which is used to manipulate societies and essentially, it is used to divide and conquer small groups of people by a brainwashing method so subtle, the group doesn't see it coming, but the individual who is intimidated, ridiculed and eventually banished from the group, bears the brunt of the punishment.
Say you want to question an expert. It's a pointed question - let's say you're at a meeting on whether or not to put fluoride in the town's drinking water. You're with a group standing staunchly against it. You know the dangers. You don't want it for yourselves, your family, your neighbors, yet your city or county commission says it's absolutely a necessity for health reasons.
You ask the question. It never gets answered. You are left squirming with unanswered questions, and when the others in your group try to ask their questions, the same thing happens. At recess, your group goes into a huddle. What happened?
You and your group sit quietly while the meeting continues, and in the end, you have been ridiculed until you feel whipped. The rest of the people in attendance consider you fools.
Delphi is most effective when the facilitator has been trained in the technique. It could be used in many ways to divide and conquer - a PTA group, a small town, a city, a county, a state, a safety issue (maybe like gun control). I see this used in the farcical presidential debates. Once you read about it you will recognize it.
This is a citizen-essential tool. Know how you are manipulated, and how to fight back. You can Google it up yourself, or use these two links. The first explains it; the second, how to disrupt it. It's almost like "Don't get mad, get even."
Once you read this, you'll slap your forehead for being asleep. But then, I never heard of it before today.
And incidentally, the Supreme Court will be ruling on YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS. THEY ARE HEARING A CASE NOW, AND GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA HAS THE TRANSCRIPTS ON ITS HOME PAGE. YOU NEED TO READ IT AND CONSIDER WHAT AN ANTI-SECOND AMENDMENT DECISION WILL MEAN TO YOU, YOUR FREEDOM, YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CONSTITUTION.
THE TOLL FREE NUMBERS TO CONGRESS ARE 1-871-851-6437 AND 1-866-340-9281.
ARE YOU REALLY READY TO LET THIS COUNTRY ROLL OVER AND DIE? CALL CONGRESS AND LET THEM KNOW HOW YOU FEEL! AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, TELL THEM WHOM YOU WANT IMPEACHED!

And while you're here, take a look at Jim Kunstler's blog. It's brain food for a curious mind and
highly recommended by a friend who is a writer/survivalist/boatbuilder/deep thinker.

I had never heard of it before today, although it does sound familiar. I tend to get defensive on-line whenever politics are discussed and often say something out of anger off the top of my head, and then feel guilty afterwards. Thanks for the links.
