Here is what they are going to try to do to silence us:
1) bring more people to events than we do;
2) arrive earlier than we do and sit up front to be very visible to cameras;
3) study venue staging ahead of time to plan strategy
4) be more visible than we are and situate their signs where cameras are;
5) assign 3-5 people to approach each reporter to “shape the narrative;”
6) interrupt us and “refocus” the meeting;
7) don’t debate us and prep their side with questions;
8) repetition of their talking points is key to their strategy;
9) organize their own town hall meetings and choose a venue that is difficult for us to attend; put protesters in the back; make us submit questions and select the questions to be asked; collect all signs and leaflets that are not the ones they provided;
10) assign people to greet reporters and enter and leave the meeting with them to minimize the chances we will have to speak to the reporters.
Now they are sending union thugs to the meetings as “security.” Perhaps citizens with disabilities should voice concerns so the cameras can catch the union thugs threatening little old ladies, war veterans, and the disabled.
Even more simple than that, they are busing in rent a mob union members and packing the front of rooms, no regular citizens will be allowed in, just like one of his town hall meetings with the managed questions.
