Its a progressive tactic called “Manufactured consent”. Basically to make you feel wildly outnumbered by posting all over the place.

Which in turn is a greatly expanded and enhanced variation of the old Communist "Diamond Tactic" of turning over crowds.

They all stem from the same period of American history and almost exclusively from Edward Bernays. I’ve done a fairly extensive study of the tactics and I’m not afraid to expose them which is really the best defense against it.

We used to have a guy showing up at township meetings to complain about all the “fracking” going on in the area and he wanted to stop it. He seemed like an intelligent guy and should know better than to confuse fracking with injection wells.

I did some digging on the guy and found that he’s an attorney who doesn’t even live in this county and specializes in zoning law and was on retainer for the Raisin Vally land trust. I handed off the info to a couple of the township council members who took turns exposing and discrediting him in the public meeting.

He was petty shocked that us ignernt hillbillies were capable of using them there fancy addin machines called computers. He never came back.
