Are you being manipulated without even realizing it? In this video, we unveil the Manipulation Playbook—a detailed guide to recognizing the 20 indicators of reality control used by media, corporations, and even governments to shape what you think, feel, and do.
From fear tactics and emotional scripts to the overuse of authority and timing tricks, we break down how these strategies work and how you can spot them in real-time. Using the F.A.T.E. Model, we’ll show you actionable steps to resist manipulation, think critically, and stay in control of your perspective.
This isn’t just about uncovering the lies—it’s about empowering yourself with tools to stay grounded in a world full of noise and hidden agendas.

Great post—the DEI folks use this technique in “struggle sessions” in all sorts of organizations from big corporations to non profits. It often takes the form of “training”.
Freepers are a graduate course in all things freedom and anti-freedom! Thanks for your original exposition of the topic.
Bingo! That was the “Delphi Technique”. Thank you for sharing.
Maybe more importantly once people understand it a little. How is it stopped? Ordinarily Robert’s Rules of Order are the mechanism for above board meetings. I suppose one could ask for a minute to speak ahead of time, and have a printed outline to explain to the public and ranchers what jiggery-pokery is about to ensue, how it works, and how it is a highly unethical method of obtaining “consensus”.
Strictly speaking I consider it a weapon, or a munition really. They are usually illegal to export, the Delphi Technique is no different.
I would love if people were informed of this bullshit and spoke up loudly while the usual suspects come out to work their parlor tricks. Refuse to agree to these terms. Make sure the newspaper writes an article (good luck) or perhaps a letter to the editor on a “beware” basis.
One of the problems people have had in the past (not so much as it was, but there’s a reason for this) it was almost impossible to explain to people without sounding like a lunatic. And, as always, it’s easier to fool someone than it is to convince them that they have been fooled.
I always liked the Diamond Technique explanation myself. Makes me wonder about all the times I may have fallen victim to it.
Does it make you feel better about yourself to be a goddamned moron on these threads? Does it really? The CEO that was killed was scheduled to give testimony in a federal case concerning questionable dealings between and among healthcare insurance companies.
so what? He was murdered by a crazy lefty ... and you think that’s OK? You’re the fucking moron ...
Do you really believe YOU are an investigator and a watchdog?
Just shut up. Okay?
A good approach is the rule of opposites.
Take anything the mass media or authority figures say.
Then imagine the exact opposite.

I recall when EVERY country and polititian and leader and news source was for Ukraine/Zelenski.
It was a FReeper who broke the Dan Rather counterfeit/forgery story.
So yes, I believe that FReepers can be investigators and watchdogs.

I’m in for that suspicion... :)
I try to identify Pelosi’s ‘wrap-up smear’

Like Tulsi Gabbord. “Why should you be in the Cabinet when you have been accused of treason?”
Looking at Yahoo and DailyMail sites and I am seeing recent stories about Bill Gates and what a great guy he is and that he has regrets about his divorce with the article showing he and his wife and the kids.
I know he planted these articles to gain sympathy.
Another is Warren Buffett who wants to tax the rich except himself and Gates who share a “non profit” where they park their money to avoid taxes.
None of the recent articles explains the countries that want to put Gates on trial for genocide or all the trips to Epstein island so he could have sex with very young teenage girls. Gates is known in Congress for wanting to block the release of the Epstein list.
‘Caveat emptor’ is my credo.
It should be everyone’s.
Indeed. And best wishes.
