the only nudging this does for me is nudging my sight zero from 50 to 100 m.

This from our local Fort Collins, Colorado commies....
They have been planning this, as you can see from their July newsletter:

3. Colorado’s Future…Fracking & the Psychology and Science of Climate Change—July 13th

***************

Don’t miss this Exciting Panel Discussion!

Avogadro’s Number, 605 South Mason, 7pm

Panel Discussion with:
Brian Crow- Master’s student in the Colorado State University Atmospheric Science Department. Brian will summarize global climate change as we have observed it so far and what its effects have been in Colorado. Projected changes through the middle of the century (2050) will also be discussed, along with some of the implications for agriculture, ecosystems, and the economy.

Alyssa Stephens- Sociologist and Education Specialist for the City of Fort Collins Utilities. Alyssa will discuss research she conducted on how citizens in Northern Colorado experience the threat of hydraulic fracturing and how citizens interpret the circumstances surrounding threats, build relationships, and take action to protect their community.

Brittany Bloodhart- PhD in Social Psychology and Women’s Studies, currently a post-doctoral fellow and adjunct faculty at Colorado State University. Brittany will talk about ways to encourage pro-environmental behavior and policy support by psychologically connecting individuals with the impacts of climate change.

This urgeny 1st, 4th, and 5th Ammendment issue can not be brought up enough!
All of your data (personal healthcare, credit, political records) is being aggregated, and processed by a multitude of data brokers, government agencies, and Internet social media App companies, for the purpose of compiling very detailed dossiers on every citizen.
Look at this healthcare data sharing diagram:
thedatamap.org

Please request the FR Admin / Jim R add a BigBrother topic hot link at the top of our FR news article index page for the purpose rapid access to this huge threat.
We can collectively stop this with coordinated effort by conservative organizations, the Electronic Freedom Foundation, and civil liberty orgs.
Now’s the time!

I’m going to presume this includes their educational choices, so this sounds like a topic homeschoolers would be interested in.

Somebody needs to call an ambulance to haul this man’s a## off to the funny farm. He seriously needs to be plugged into the wall for a bit of EST! (electro shock therapy)

I think the medical term for his illness is a “God Complex”

I’m flattered when my betters announce that they will be using animal training techniques on me. It’s what tolerance is all about.

Well, he would definitely be better than Obama. And there's a lot to like about him. But I'm still not convinced he's the right guy for the job.

I guess when Obamski is finished we all be living in caves and harvesting weeds, acorns for flour and bark.

When Obamski is finished a few of us will be living in caves and harvesting weeds, acorns for flour and bark.

The rest of us will be dead.

Prepare to be “nudged” by Obama's new “behavioral science” squads — for your own good, of course. - Under the guise of better “serving” the American people through government, Obama signed an executive order this week calling for federal agencies and departments to deploy emerging “behavioral science” techniques against the public.

The plan to more effectively use psychological manipulation against the public will be led by none other than John Holdren..." Another Obama czar with totalitarian views, Cass Sunstein, appears to be the primary inspiration for the “nudge” agenda. The use of the word “nudge” in the 2013 behavioral science document provided a great deal of insight into the genesis of the schemes — and the real agenda.

Indeed, the whole idea of having government “nudge” citizens to obey, believe, and love government came from Cass Sunstein, the Big Government extremist who co-authored Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness. Sunstein, who styles himself a “legal scholar” and now teaches law at Harvard, has faced intense criticism and ridicule for a variety of ideas that would turn American traditions of constitutional self-government on their head.

Among them: pushing the notion that animals should have legal standing in the courts, advocating a plan to have taxpayer-funded shills engage in “cognitive infiltration” of groups authorities disagree with, and even proposing a government “ban” on “conspiracy theorizing.”

The British government already fields a forerunner of the U.S. psychological operations.

And among other controversial schemes, U.K. authorities employ armies of tax-funded Internet trolls to encourage “conformity” and “obedience.”

Check out article, ... and .... comments.

Thanks, bitt. Is 'nudge' an euphemism for you will obey?
