Second, I was an active participant in all of the early planning meetings, email chats, and online networking that was happening the first year of Tea Party Activism in 2009.
Point being that I was not just a casual attendee or helper, I was one of the main organizers in Colorado.
Third, I was so disgusted by the disorganized mess that was the Tax Day Colorado Tea Party on April 15th, 2009, the various infighting, posturing for power, kowtowing to party politics, and general disorganization, that I made the decision to organize my own event for the 9-12-2009 Constitution Celebration that was being promoted by Glenn Beck.
Please note, I did not have any guidance, instruction, financing, or outside help while organizing this event, despite Nancy Pelosi calling us astroturf. Â Tea Partiers tend to hate both political parties at about the same level.
Fourth, I was angered but not surprised when my online registration form at the IRS web site was rejected with the words Tea Party in the form.
Fifth, the blowback on me and my family was a reminder that political dissent was no longer acceptable in Obamas world. I will not outline the different tactics that were used to disuade me from my activism, but if a financial audit had happened, I would not have been surprised based on the subtle but real intimidation that was already taking place.
Sixth, the IRS should be abolished as soon as possible before Obamacare ensures that all American Citizens walk in daily terror of the Federal Government. Â Steve Forbes flat tax is looking pretty good about now.
This first video is an excellent overview of the whole Common Core Agenda.
Today this clip made the rounds on Twitter. It is a short video taken at a Missouri Common Core Community Meeting on May 2nd 2013.
The video is unique because it shows the Delphi Technique in action. It also depicts the response from the crowd, which was negative. Those who attended were obviously frustrated because the questions they had were not being addressed.
America was built on the principle of open and honest debate. Roberts Rules ruled all townhall meetings for centuries. In the past few decades various tactics have been developed to create the impression that input from the community is being achieved while in truth those who take the time and energy to attend and be involved in the community are being shut out of the process. This has been especially true in Education Circles for many years.
The cool thing is that the Delphi Technique can be diffused with just a little bit of effort. Here is a quick primer:
The Delphi Technique was originally conceived as a way to obtain the opinion of experts without necessarily bringing them together face to face.  In recent times, however, it has taken on an all new meaning and purpose.  InEducating for the New World Order by B. Eakman, the reader finds reference upon reference for the need to preserve the illusion that there is “…lay, or community, participation (in the decision-making process), while lay citizens were, in fact, being squeezed out.”  The Delphi Technique is the method being used to squeeze citizens out of the process, effecting a left-wing take over of the schools.
A specialized use of this technique was developed for teachers, the “Alinsky Method” (ibid, p.123).  The setting or group is, however, immaterial; the point is that people in groups tend to share a certain knowledge base and display certain identifiable characteristics (known as group dynamics).  This allows for a special application of a basic technique.
The change agent or facilitator goes through the motions of acting as an organizer, getting each person in the target group to elicit expression of their concerns about a program, project, or policy in question.  The facilitator listens attentively, forms “task forces,” “urges everyone to make lists,” and so on.  While s/he is doing this, the facilitator learns something about each member of the target group.  S/He identifies the “leaders,” the “loud mouths,” as well as those who frequently turn sides during the argument — the “weak or noncommittal”.
Suddenly, the amiable facilitator becomes “devil’s advocate.”  S/He dons his professional agitator hat.  Using the “divide and conquer” technique, s/he manipulates one group opinion against the other.  This is accomplished by manipulating those who are out of step to appear “ridiculous, unknowledgeable, inarticulate, or dogmatic.”  S/He wants certain members of the group to become angry, thereby forcing tensions to accelerate.  The facilitator is well trained in psychological manipulation.  S/He is able to predict the reactions of each group member.  Individuals in opposition to the policy or program will be shut out of the group.
The method works.  It is very effective with parents, teachers, school children, and any community group.  The “targets” rarely, if ever, know that they are being manipulated.  Or, if they suspect this is happening, do not know how to end the process.
The desired result is for group polarization, and for the facilitator to become accepted as a member of the group and group process.  S/He will then throw the desired idea on the table and ask for opinions during discussion.  Very soon his/her associates from the divided group begin to adopt the idea as if it were their own, and pressure the entire group to accept the proposition.
This technique is a very unethical method of achieving consensus on a controversial topic in group settings.  It requires well-trained professionals who deliberately escalate tension among group members, pitting one faction against the other, so as to make one viewpoint appear ridiculous so the other becomes “sensible” whether such is warranted or not.
The Delphi Technique is based on the Hegelian Principle of achieving Oneness of Mind through a three step process of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis.  In thesis and antithesis, all present their opinion or views on a given subject, establishing views and opposing views.  In synthesis, opposites are brought together to form the new thesis.  All participants are then to accept ownership of the new thesis and support it, changing their own views to align with the new thesis.  Through a continual process of evolution, Oneness of Mind will supposedly occur.
The theory of the Delphi and the reality of the Delphi are, obviously, quite different — the reality being that Oneness of Mind does not occur but only the illusion of Oneness of Mind with those who refuse to be Delphi’d being alienated from participating in the process.
While proponents of education reform feel they are quite justified in this, the effect of this unethical manipulation of people is to create polarized camps.  In an effort to maintain the process, advocates have marketed a plethora of publications (such as What’s Left After the Right, No Right Turn and If You Don’t, They Will) intended to label, castigate, and alienate anyone who does not go along with them.  As a result, parents come to understand that their role in education reform is merely perfunctory; that the outcome is preset, that they are not but the rah-rah team so when opposition does arise, advocates of education reform can say, “we had community input.”
To make sure that the situation is controlled, only those parents who agree with the process are allowed on the restructuring teams.  New participants are carefully screened to ensure that education reform goes forward unquestioned.
If measurable opposition persists, advocates are told, get the local ministers on board.  Take steps to neutralize, by whatever means necessary, the opposition.  In some places, opponents have been harassed, both at home and on the job, personal property has been damaged and vandalized, people have lost their jobs.  Anyone who does not go along with the restructuring of our society is susceptible to the totalitarian tactics of those promoting education reform – whether it be parents, teachers, principals, superintendents or board members.  The need exists for advocates to maintain an iron grip on the process.  They cannot, for instance, withstand open public debate of the issues.  Therefore, they do not partake in public forums.  They cannot withstand the criticism, so they close every avenue for parents to address the issues.  They are rapidly creating, through their divisive tactics, a volatile situation.  America is being torn apart.
Parents, citizens, teachers, principals, superintendents who are opposed to the new purpose being given our American education system need tools to withstand the process being used to bring it in — against the Delphi Technique and consensus which, through their basis in the Hegelian Principle, have Marxist connections and purposes.
First, no opportunity must be left untaken to expose this unethical, divisive process.  Second, when this process is used, it can be disrupted.  To do so, however, one must be able to recognize when the Delphi Technique is being used, and how to disrupt it.

Ground rules for disrupting the consensus process (Delphi Technique) — when facilitators want to steer a group in a specific direction.
1)    Always Be Charming.  Smile, be pleasant, be courteous, moderate your voice so as not to come across as belligerent or aggressive.
2)    Stay Focused.  If at all possible, write your question down to help you stay focused.  Facilitators, when asked questions they don’t want to answer, often digress from the issue raised and try to work the conversation around to where they can make the individual asking the question look foolish, feel foolish, appear belligerent or aggressive.  The goal is to put the one asking the question on the defensive.  Do not fall for this tactic.  Always be charming, thus deflecting any insinuation, innuendo, etc, that may be thrown at you in their attempt to put you on the defensive, but bring them back to the question you asked.  If they rephrase your question into an accusatory statement (a favorite tactic) simply state, “that is not what I stated, what I asked was… (repeat your question).”  Stay focused on your question.
3)    Be Persistent.  If putting you on the defensive doesn’t work, facilitators often resort to long drawn out dissertations on some off-the-wall and usually unrelated, or vaguely related, subject that drags on for several minutes – during which time the crowd or group usually loses focus on the question asked (which is the intent).  Let them finish with their dissertation/expose, then nicely, with focus and persistence, state, “but you didn’t answer my question.  My question was… (repeat your question).”
Remember…
always be charming,
stay focused, and
be persistent.
Never, under any circumstance, become angry.  Anger directed at the facilitator will immediately make the facilitator “the victim.”  This defeats the purpose which is to make you the victim.  The goal of the facilitator is to make those they are facilitating like them, alienating anyone who might pose a threat to the realization of their agenda.  [People with fixed belief systems, who know what they believe and stand on what they believe, are obvious threats.]  If the participant becomes the victim, the facilitator loses face and favor with the crowd.  This is why crowds are broken up into groups of seven or eight, why objections are written on cards, not voiced aloud where they are open to public discussion and public debate.  It’s called crowd control.  It is always good to have someone else, or two or three others who know the Delphi Technique dispersed through the crowd; who, when the facilitator digresses from the question, will stand up and say nicely, “but you didn’t answer that lady’s/gentleman’s question.”  The facilitator, even if suspecting you are together, certainly will not want to alienate the crowd by making that accusation.  Sometimes it only takes one occurrence of this type for the crowd to figure out what’s going on, sometimes it takes more than one.
If you have an organized group, meet before the meeting to strategize.  Everyone should know their part.  Meet after the meeting to analyze what went right, what went wrong and why, and what needs to happen the next time around.  Never meet during the meeting.  One of the favorite tactics of the facilitator, if the meeting is not going the way he/she wants, if he/she is meeting measurable resistance, is to call a recess.  During the recess, the facilitator and his/her “spotters” (people who wander the room during the course of the meeting, watching the crowd) watch the crowd to see who congregates where, especially those who have offered measurable resistance.  If the “resistors” congregate in one place, a “spotter” will usually gravitate to that group to “join in the conversation” and will report back to the facilitator.  When the meeting resumes, the facilitator will steer clear of those who are “resistors.”  Do not congregate.  Hang loose and work the crowd.  Move to where the facilitator or “spotters” are, listen to what they have to say, but do not gravitate to where another member of your team is.
This strategy also works in a face to face, one on one, meeting with anyone who has been trained in how to use the Delphi Technique.

When I learned of the death of Andrew Breitbart a few months ago, it really sent me into a tailspin. Â I have truly mourned him and feel more determined than ever that his legacy be all of us Conservative Bloggers Step it up a notch and fill in the many gaps that now exist because he is gone.
This Post is dedicated to my friend Ruth Mangus who died this past week.
(Ruth is in the purple t shirt in front of the gate at the Denver Capitol and I am standing on the UN flag counter demonstrating at an Anti War Rally in September of 2005)
I just watched/listened to this interview with Vinny Eastwood on Wide Awake News:
I completely agree with both men who make the case that while the organizers of OWS are Obvious Marxists, those sincere citizens who have taken to the streets around the world are mostly honest hearted souls who want some financial justice.
I also agree with Vinny when he claims that the biggest problem in the world is the Globalists who have been setting up a Genocidal Top Down Marxist Police State. Â The Money Mongers planned to use Modern Medicine and the Main Stream Media as the tool to control, regulate, and eventually depopulate the Masses of Humanity, but the push back from We The People has been intense the past few years and I like to think we have them on the run.
This post is my attempt to help expose the fact that for decades lefty activist leadership has been funded by Marxists to destroy the American Free Enterprise System and rob the American People of their sovereignty. They are constantly shoving the American People to the left through media manipulation and “all socialism all the time” in American Public Schools.
First a little history…
Like so many activists I first had to have my eyes opened before I was willing to begin researching the facts.
I experienced a nervous breakdown after the birth of my first baby in 1988 and was hospitalized for Post Partum Psychosis. Â I was breastfeeding my daughter and did not want to stop in order to take Psychiatric Medications. Â After a month long fight with the Michigan Psychiatric Association, I finally found myself in front of a judge who informed me that I was “Court Ordered” to eat psychiatric meds as well as an additional 90 day sentence in the local state mental institution.
Over the next year I ate a cocktail of drugs including Haldol, Stelazine, Lithium, and Prozac and was also treated for a sexually transmitted disease, herpes simplex II with an anti viral drug Zovirex. Â I was gang raped in the state mental hospital by four orderlies and a few months after being released from the hospital developed oral herpes. Â (I was raped orally and vaginally by these men while strapped to a four point restraint table the first night of my hospitalization). Â I was also put on a thyroid medication later in the year by my Family Doctor, and the week I started taking that drug I had significant symptoms of a heart attack, although I did not know that at the time.
In the spring of 1990 I read an article about Prozac in Newsweek Magazine and something in the article made me consider the idea that a suicidal incident I experienced a few weeks after starting Prozac could have been caused by the drug. Â I had been re hospitalized in the fall of 1989 for a week because I was suicidal. Â Thankfully the psychiatrist in that hospital took me off the major tranquilizers and I was able to begin my detox, but he doubled my dose of Prozac and that caused significant distress in my body and mind.
The spring of 1990 I worked with a female psychiatrist who was open to the idea of me weaning off all of my meds and helped me to carefully and thoughtfully break through the barrier to a drug free existence. Â Coming off Prozac was the most difficult thing I have EVER done.
Here is a collage of my healing journey
In 1990 I began to find my footing as a human being again and although suffering great emotional distress whenever yearly anniversaries from the times I was molested as a child and raped as an adult hit, I was able to get through that emotional pain without using medications and/or numbing myself with alcohol or illegal drugs. Â I understand the need for sexual abuse survivors to self medicate and don’t judge anyone for choosing to do that, but I want to throw out the idea that healing from the most devastating traumas can be achieved with sobriety because I have done it.
The love of my children and husband coupled with my Faith in Jesus Christ carried me through the most difficult
suicidal moments and I was also greatly aided by an absolute focus on nourishing my body and mind with whole foods, herbs, vitamins, exercise, sunshine, and fresh air. Â Living in Boulder County these past twenty years has also been therapeutic as I have healed these past two decades.
A huge part of my healing was aided by a willingness to ask my Heavenly Father to guide me to the truth about my life.
Why did I lose my mind after my daughter was born?
How did the psychiatric industry get so much power?
What forces were at work in terms of politics, money, and control that made it possible for the courts to have so much decision making power over my personal life?
And, What sort of trends were we as a society on as we moved towards this trajectory of using modern medicine for all that ails us and what was the long range result of all of us being dependent on pills and surgery to “cure” every ill?
Because I have worked mostly as an at home mother since marrying in 1988, I had the great opportunity to spend hours and hours every day reading. Â I mostly read while nursing my babies in the early years, and these past few years I have been sick in bed for hours every day and have loads of time to read, and read, and read.
My quest for the truth about why I went insane has taken me to some dark places in terms of learning the truth about the agendas, money, and people who are at the heart of the efforts to Collectivize the World into a Medical Police State.
Learning about those dark places compelled me to get active and start organizing against them.
I don’t claim to understand or know all of the agendas.
But I do understand that the destruction of the Family is the ultimate end game for many of those people who are pulling the levers and strings manipulating the people around the planet. Â For it is with the destruction of the Family Unit that the powers that be are able to sit back and reap a mountain of cash and control.
While I strongly affiliate myself with the Tea Party and Health Freedom Movements, I also consider myself a Neo Con Hawk who believes that War can be used as a tool for good when attempting to free those who are enslaved on our planet.
When this level of deception exists in America and those activists who don’t understand how a Police State is run DEFEND it, well you can understand why I would run into the arms of the Conservative Activists standing up for the Constitution, Rule of Law, and Separation of Powers outlined in the Founding Documents of the USA.  Yet I am revolted by the Anti Muslim rhetoric of so many on the right and feel that the Military Industrial Complex has lost its credibility and soul because of its marriage to Modern Medicine.  So many of our soldiers have committed suicide these past few years because of being over dosed on Anti Depressants.  Tens of Thousands of Soldiers have died since receiving the Squalene Adjuventated Vaccines that are constantly being  jabbed into our military and I think that horrifying fraud needs to be exposed and stopped.
At the beginning of the War in Iraq my brother was serving in Iraq and sent weekly emails to our family. Â He expressed frustration with the fact that the media was not reporting the good things happening in that country. Â So I affiliated myself with Free Republic and began attending Anti War Demonstrations to counter demonstrate against the left. Â As the years clicked by and I learned more and more about how the left organizes, plans, and conducts political street theatre, I became convinced that a Marxist Cancer was manipulating the minds of the American People through the Universities, Media, and Hollywood towards a medical police state.
And I stood up and yelled.
I am still yelling…but the blow back has been intense and it is not easy to know and understand all of the agendas.
But I can testify to this: Â At some level what I have written and what I have done has so upset the powers that be that they have done just about everything within their power to “quietly” shut me up.
This fact alone has taught me that the promotion of Family Sovereignty, Family Freedom, Mothers having autonomy over their bodies and minds and over the bodies and minds of their children upsets them and tells me that I am on the right track…
So I am going to keep yelling…
And I hope that as the yelling continues we can all come to a meeting of the minds about what sort of a society will be best for Fathers, Mothers, and Children.
Because if the Family is destroyed…society becomes a great big nothing.
First, I gave the opening speech at the first Colorado Tea Party back in Feb. of 2009, a few weeks after the first Obama inauguration.
Roberts Rules of Order
were designed to be the way that our Republic was supposed to function at every level from local up to the Federal Level. Â So if you as a Taxpayer attend a Common Core informational meeting and the setup of the room is round tables and note cards with little follow through and even less accountability from those moderating the event, just know that you have been Alinsky’d with the Delphi Technique and DEMAND that the room be reconfigured according to Roberts rules with open microphones for the audience and open and honest debate COVERED BY THE PRESS. Â If the press does not bother to show up and report, create your own citizen reports and post them on the internet.
This is the way for our Republic to be restored from the ground up.
