Deceptive politics and representation

| January 17, 2017 11:51 AM

GMA (Growth Management), VSP (Voluntary Stewardship Program) and other environmental regulation, as well as the Transgender policies and Same-sex marriage policies are all being forced upon society by a few instigators who use “Information Deception” to passively coerce people into the perception that there is some crisis that demands a change in our way of life. Interestingly, our moral and liberty minded ethics produced the most successful nation in history and a law system which already protects every individual’s property and choice.

What is so dis-ingenuine about these pursuits is that they did not originate within the defined people/government representative order that is laid out on our Constitutions, both state and federal. These agendas are hatched within NGO (Non-government organizations) who have a larger strategy of change in mind. These NGOs literally create a deceptive need and propel it by creating the perception that it’s the latest popular desire by utilizing the dominance of mass media; when in fact, it is a very small group of social planners that are the promoters. When adequate support is realized, which is primarily perceptional only, the process enters the chambers of unelected commissions, who pass it on to a complicit legislator who initiates the official drive.

This way of operation bears no resemblance of public representation; thus, the people from both conservative and liberal ranks are indirectly coerced with the perception of some need or crisis. This practice falls within the operational perimeters of what is professionally known as “Information Dominance” (ID) operations. The goal of ID is not to persuade people with reason and logic but rather to create doubt, touch the emotions and/or affect their mind-set in order to gain their support, regardless of having any real understanding. The Soviets were masters at this practice and I have watched our own government and special interest groups use it to no end.

In the case of the VSP, even our conservative legislators, Commissioners and the Farm Bureau, caved in to this practice allowing a sister program of GMA which has little or no support in eastern WA among the AG industry and private land owners. Thus, a plan was unhatched to defer responsibility away from the elected, again eliminating representation and responsibility, getting the pressure off of them and putting the burden directly on the land owner. Unfortunately, a few people unaware of the manipulation and ignorant of “Information Dominance” schemes will aid in the furtherance of these processes which will lead to the original end game of GMA and that is the elimination of nearly all personal and private property rights.
