NEW DELPHI TACTICS BY THE PLANNERS

6/6/2012

 
I just received a note from my friends in Tennessee that they attended a visioning meeting and had a new Delphi tactic used on them.  We have seen it used here in California as well.  Our Tennessee Agenda 21 fighters asked what they could do to combat it, and we thought we'd share our comments with you here.

The classic Delphic technique tactics have you come into a room where you are with a large group and you're either seated in an auditorium or you'll be broken into groups at tables.  This gives you access to all participants, at least for a while, and you are able to voice your objections to the entire body.


The new tactic being used by planners is the OPEN HOUSE.  The Open House tactic invites the 'public' to drop in at one of several locations at different dates.  There will be a planner on duty to explain the plan and solicit the public's input.  Usually these open sessions are about 2 hours long.  There is often an informational video shown.  There is no opportunity for interaction between members of the public.  

There is also an online survey that can be filled out by anyone in the public to give their input on the project.  There is no way of knowing who is using these forms.

HOW TO COUNTER THIS:  What we have done is to prepare a flyer and give it to people as they are going in to the building.  You can do this in shifts (one hour each) at each of the locations.  The flyers are essentially the 'Notice: You Are Being Delphi'd' ones.  I've attached one here.  This particular flyer is specific to our regional plan but you can easily adapt it.  Also there must be an open meeting law in your state similar to the Brown Act in California.  You can put that on the back or something else that's pertinent.  The thing about this tactic of theirs is that with the online survey anyone in any state or nation--or world, I guess-- can weigh in.  It's a farce, obviously.  

We also suggest that you go to your council meeting/supervisors meetings and speak out about this in public comments.  Take as many people as possible and do it more than once.  Also go to the MPO meeting, their board meeting and protest.  You can bring bullhorns and signs and stand out in front in protest.  The point is to drag it out of the shadows and embarrass as many of them as possible.  Expose it to the light.  How many people will be making this 'binding decision' for the huge area covered by the plan?  What percentage of the total population?  Exploit that shockingly small number.

THIS IS NOT YOUR PLAN.  LET THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT THEY ARE BEING DELPHI'D.

Well, then, I guess citizens in York County, Va. are nut cases,too. The EXACT meeting just happened here..."OPEN HOUSE", pre-determined outcome.. Attempted to break us into small groups where we couldn't hear other citizens concerns and ideas, no open Q&A, we left lots of questions and suggestions along with our contact info. Have not heard a word. The whole scenario is a farce and non-elected officials and staff are making decisions that affect our property rights.
Thank God citizens are waking up and thank God people like Rosa are helping us!!

BTW...We wrote on poster size paper that citizens were being Delphi'd, and we outnumbered other citizens 20 to 1....so let's see what the consensus will be!

Tulsa OK is pushing light rail and having these "meetings". We attended several. Just as you said, they have control. The leaders presented their projects then said we'd break into small groups to get our questions answered. I STOOD UP (had to because they didn't want to take questions) and demanded they answer before the entire group. My questions pertained to their taking of 12 feet of land for light rail...in front of every home for a 6 mile stretch. Our city counselor was there and pushing the thing. He smirked at me and said "I disagree". The little SOB will be running for mayor and moving on up. Anyway, we sold our house and left the state for the hills. Tulsa has run out of money for awhile so the plan is on hold but has not been scrapped. INCOG will make sure it comes back. I may be wrong but I think our objections PUBLICLY over 18 months helped delay it.

    And the winner is...

    What is UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development?
    It is the blueprint, the comprehensive plan of action for the 21st century to inventory and control all land, all water, all plants, all minerals, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all energy, all law enforcement, all health care, all food, all education, all information, and all human beings in the world
    .

    Your energy consumption will be controlled until you can't farm, can't manufacture, can't travel, can't fish, can't use your land. Productivity and businesses are limited now.

    You've heard that story about Tony Blair asking Angela Merkel how Germany could have such a high GDP when it was such a small country.  Merkel snapped at him: We still make things in Germany, Mr. Blair.
