This explains how people could allow the unbelievable could occur. It explains how logic can be disregarded and the person speaking the truth ostracized. It confuses and infuriates me but knowing how it works gives me power to see the reality and perhaps combat it with calm facts. Frustration over people not understanding the truth usually makes me react with anger. The DT is purely manipulation. A narcissistic personality could and would easily utilize such a technique to get their way, if nothing else just to get their way. Power.

Well said. This article has been posted before, and IMO it should be posted every ~ three months just to inoculate and forewarn us.

The very first warning signal to watch out for.... if two or more friends go in to the meeting together, you will not be allowed to sit together. Each will be assigned to a separate table, and usually seated where they cannot even see each other.

Several years ago, the National Park Service brought in teams of trained "facilitators" from Denver to run local meetings to discuss "what changes the locals wanted for our local park." Of course we all wanted no roads or trails closed, cars allowed on the roads in the park as usual, etc.,

Guess what ended up as the public concensus: The "public" (steered by the professional facilitators) wanted ALL the roads and most trails closed, and no cars allowed in to the park. We supposedly wanted to have to park miles outside the Park, and pay to be bussed in. Yeh, sure we did.

Also, take heed. Government departments and agencies use the Delphi Technique all the time, and have armies of well-trained facilitators whose sole job is to "sell" their pre-written goals to the unsuspecting public.
