Using the Delphi Technique to Achieve Consensus

...said I was the wisest of all the Greeks." Socrates once remarked. "It is because I alone, of all the Greeks, know that I know nothing."

With humility, caution, and the highest consciousness we are called to examine truth.

It is as Lactantius in the 4th Century A.D. observed:

"The first point of wisdom is to discern that which is false;
the second, to know that which is true."

The more we are aware of their ways the better. Hm, could this be used against them somehow?

The first thing that came to my mind is our divisive phony bipartisan government. Both sides are not making any sense.....

of information on this site is amazing. I feel like I'm back in school it makes my head hurt. One thing I know, the presidents who have always won elections were people I thought were honorable men, so much for my ability to picking honest people. Peace and Freedom

I like the concept of taking the propaganda that we are constantly subjected to and simply undoing it and then adopting it ourselves.

So for instance, when we are constantly brainwashed into believing that "support our troops" = "support the Iraqi war" I would like to see us turn that into "support our troops" = "stop the Iraqi war"

Another example could be this idea that "Barack Obama" = "change" I'd like to see a campaign focused on the fact that "Barack Obama" = "more of the same"

Basically I'd like to see all anti-liberty propaganda turned inside out and exposed.

Delphi, taught to all government educators as the "Alinsky Method" of conflict resolution, was preceeded by Kurt Lewin of the Frankfort Schol in the National Training Laboratory of Bethal, Maine. www.ntl.org This is Brainwashing refined to the highest degree so that joe six pact has no clue what is happening to his mind when he turns on the TV. We are three generations away from the Frankfort School introduction in America around 1930; which places the American people in the same situation as Germany just before Hitler. Some of the folks posting on Daily Paul practice these techniques here regularly on the unsuppecting, like minarchist.

Maybe it's just too early in the morning or maybe this article just has too many "big" words in it for this ole country boy to digest.... lets cut to the chase...

I once heard someone give the definition of "tact" and it is "Telling someone to go to Hell, and having them want to go"

...is the tool that the globalists have used for a long long time. If you intend to use that tool to rally people round the cause of liberty, it'll only drive them away. If you've been paying attention to the good Dr., you'll recall him speaking of this little thing called 'blowback'. You want to use the Delphi technique to recruit? Point out to people when it's being used on them. Most people don't like being manipulated.

Liberty sells itself...there are no tricks required.

Group Dynamics is precisely why getting our respective, individual minds right is priority one in the r3VOLution. Alertness flows from this. Real communication both precedes and proceeds.

Better, less manipulated group dynamics = better consequences for individuals.

Voting is ancillary.

In my community, the Delphi Technique was used by smart growth facilitators to guild us collectively toward the pre-determined smart growth solutions as it those solutions were our own. This is one tool used to coordinate all smart growth/Agenda 21/comprehensive planning. When I pointed out that the organizers of a 'visioning' session had violated their own visioning rules, I was ignored rather like a fly on the wall. When, at the next visioning session, I noticed that items had mysteriously been put into different catagories than they were in the previous meeting, I was similarly ignored and the meeting went on. It was trying to reason with zombies.
