The Delphi Technique: Let’s Stop Being Manipulated!
http://vlrc.org/articles/110.html

By Albert V. Burns More and more, we are seeing citizens being invited to “participate” in various forms of meetings, councils, or boards to “help determine” public policy in one field or another. They are supposedly being included to get ”input” from the public to help officials make final decisions on taxes, education, community growth or whatever the particular subject matter might be.

Sounds great, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, surface appearances are often deceiving.

You, Mr. or Mrs. Citizen, decide to take part in one of these meetings.

Generally, you will find that there is already someone designated to lead or “facilitate” the meeting. Supposedly, the job of the facilitator is to be a neutral, non-directing helper to see that the meeting flows smoothly.

Actually, he or she is there for exactly the opposite reason: to see that the conclusions reached during the meeting are in accord with a plan already decided upon by those who called the meeting.

The process used to “facilitate” the meeting is called the Delphi Technique. This Delphi Technique was developed by the RAND Corporation for the U.S. Department of Defense back in the 1950s. It was originally intended for use as a psychological weapon during the cold war.

However, it was soon recognized that the steps of Delphi could be very valuable in manipulating ANY meeting toward a predetermined end.

How does the process take place? The techniques are well developed and well defined.

First, the person who will be leading the meeting, the facilitator or Change Agent must be a likable person with whom those participating in the meeting can agree or sympathize.

It is, therefore, the job of the facilitator to find a way to cause a split in the audience, to establish one or a few of the people as “bad guys” while the facilitator is perceived as the “good guy.”

Facilitators are trained to recognize potential opponents and how to make such people appear aggressive, foolish, extremist, etc. Once this is done, the facilitator establishes himself or herself as the “friend” of the rest of the audience.

The stage is now set for the rest of the agenda to take place.

At this point, the audience is generally broken up into “discussion—or ‘breakout’—groups” of seven or eight people each. Each of these groups is to be led by a subordinate facilitator.

Mass Exodus of United Methodists Ensues Over LGBTQ Movement

CV NEWS FEED // A significant exodus from the United Methodist Church (UMC) has ensued after a pro-LGBTQ faction within the denomination pushed the cause enough to alienate many churchgoers.

Christianity Today reported Monday that 7,659 churches, about “1 out of 4 of the denomination’s 30,000 congregations,” have “decided to split” over the last four years. The departing congregations are citing “issues of sexuality and authority.” Christianity Today is an Evangelical magazine founded by Billy Graham in 1956.

“This month marked the final push to exit before the December 31 deadline,” the magazine continued. “In that time, another 74 churches in Florida voted to leave, plus 51 more in Illinois, 152 in Mississippi, 8 in New Mexico, and 36 across three regions in Texas.”

Per the denomination’s news outlet, of the churches that have chosen to leave the UMC since the end of 2019, 5,643 of them – 74% – left in 2023 alone.

Get Trump at All Costs, Biden 9% Approval Explains All, Brace for Impact

It is clear the Uni-party of Democrats and RINO Republicans are desperate to get Trump at all costs. They clearly think they cannot beat him in November of 2024. They have a RICO case, a fraud case and a document case against President Trump. They must think those are not going to work either, so now they are simply trying to remove Trump from the ballot in 2024, state by state. You know this is a loser of a plan when legal eagle Dems line up to call BS on the BS. Even arch Trump enemy former AG Bill Barr is calling foul. Now, you know this is not going to work. What this sort of lawfare like warfare does is show you is how much the swamp wants to get Trump.

This complicated mess can all be explained with one number. That number is nine, as in 9%. 9% is still the real approval rating of Joe Biden, according to my sources. This is not even close to a majority of the Democrat Party. 9% actual Biden approval rating explains every desperate act by the swamp. The Obama/Biden Administration’s disastrous policies are causing some of the staunchest Dems to jump off the derailing Biden train. From inflation to mass immigration, everyone hates how this is making life much harder.

You may think the stock market going up is a good sign for the economy, but many economists are warning of a sudden change in the markets. Could it be a dollar that is being shunned in global trade by the so-called BRICS countries? Could it be hundreds of trillions of dollars in derivatives about to explode? Could it be more than 60% of Americans now living paycheck to paycheck? Could it be a new round of banking insolvency? Could it be a much wider war in the Middle East? Could it be all the above? The answer is Yes, or brace for impact.

A school board member in Virginia was sworn in for his second term on the school board on a stack of banned LGBTQ+ books.

Karl Frisch was sworn into the Fairfax county School Board for his second term and swapped the bible for a stack of LGBTQ+ books that have been banned in surrounding schools for “sexually controversial content.”

“He was sworn in on a stack of the five LGBTQ-themed books most frequently banned by other school systems,” Frisch’s campaign website announced. “Currently, the Board’s Vice Chair, Frisch becomes its Chair on January 1. He is the first LGBTQ+ person elected to local office in Virginia’s largest county and one of only four openly LGBTQ+ school board members in the Commonwealth out of roughly 800 members.”

Frisch was sworn in by his male partner who was holding the stack of books which included, All Boys Aren’t Blue, Gender Queer, Flamer, Lawn Boy and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
