“Obama Executive Order Unleashes “Behavioral Science” Squad to “Nudge” You
by Alex Neman Sept. 18, 2015, The New American
“Under the guise of better “serving” the American people through government, Obama signed an executive order calling for federal agencies and departments to deploy emerging “behavioral science” techniques against the public. The Obama order also establishes a Social and Behavioral Sciences Team charged with applying psychological research to manipulate the beliefs and behaviors of Americans under various pretexts, and guide the vast federal bureaucracy as it hones its abilities to manipulate the public. “ --SNIP--
==================================================
(HAT TIP ANIMA MUNDI)---this Obama sub rosa stuff commands people to believe the absurd: (a) a total acceptance of gay marriage, (b) global warming tagged climate change, (c) Hillary looking into the camera, admitting to lying and betrayal, yet, she still is supported, (d) Muslims are peaceful, (e) Mexico is our friend, (f) illegals violate our borders looking for a better life, (g) The Clinton Foundation is saving the globe.
=============================================
FREEPER ANALYSIS Behavioral Sciences and psychology are dismissed by our side is being USED by the other side. Psychology is not just “counseling” or some frivolous study. It is a weapon when used in certain ways to strategically position image, words, feelings of large groups of people.
Trayvon Martin becomes a moral cause, his name on everyone’s lips....fund-raising as a bonus. Kate Steinle killed by an illegal in San Francisco??? Well, “things happen.” Benghazi? “Well, so long ago”, etc.
We had better start paying attention to this and grab the language: stop using their terms, stop giving into their demands, stop apologizing for offending them, stop changing team names and acting as if their complaints are real when they are not. All of it is connected and goes back to manipulation of public opinion. These tools are available to us as well.
=========================
The brilliant Dr Sebastian Gorka---a frequent Fox guest---summed up Obama (and the Clintons) beautifully: "They don't believe in objective truth. They're post- secular modernists. They believe in cultural relativism.......that all cultures are equal..... except America, which (in their minds) is worse than everybody else."
========================================
ANALYSIS The spoken truth is what THEY say it is.....it must be stripped of any concept of 2000 years of man's knowledge of right and wrong. 2008 candidate Obama’s calm cool voice of reason was supposed to prevail. Remember when Obama calmly assured America that once he was elected all Mideast “hostilities” would cease. A confident Obama would make sure America was once again “respected” around the world. And who could forget Obama’s “Arab Spring” when all of the terrorists would suddenly become sap-happy humanitarians, weaving daisy chains while frolicking around the May pole?
2012 Ohaha used the same conniving 2008 strategy patented by PR honcho Anita (Mao) Dunn---to manipulate voters, to downplay Ohaha's bgrnd, his destructive policies ....and his scary plans for his next term. Remember, Dunn said back then, that THEY and only THEY decided what the media and the voters should know about 2008 candidate Ohaha.
The strategy was to have Ohaha and his shady handlers play the innocents---the "don't worry--we're harmless" act.
Obama readies fall campaign push; some Dems say no thanks (no adoring crowds in pro-Trump states)

Former President Obama is set to dive into the midterm elections next week with a speech in Illinois where he is expected to urge Democrats across the country to vote — addressing a problem that plagued the party in 2016. Obama has kept a low political profile since leaving office, but sources familiar with his plans say he will soon hit the campaign trail to help Democrats in their quest to take back the House, protect vulnerable Senate incumbents and win state legislative races.
The former president will kick off his push by delivering a speech at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on Friday. In the weeks ahead, Obama will also campaign in California, Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania, a person familiar with his schedule said.
Not all Democrats want Obama’s help. Democratic candidates running in states that President Trump won by double digits in 2016 would prefer that the former president stay far away. Some Democrats in pro-Trump states, such as Sens. Bob Casey Jr. (Pa.), Debbie Stabenow (Mich.) and Sherrod Brown (Ohio), say they hope Obama will campaign for them. Others, such as Sens. Jon Tester(Mont.) and Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), want to keep the race locked on the battle between themselves and their state rivals, fearing a high-profile surrogate like Obama could distract from the strategy.
“We’re not going to use any surrogates. Surrogates are fine but we don’t need them. The race is myself and Matt Rosendale and that’s the way we want to keep it,” Tester told The Hill, referring to his GOP challenger. Asked if she thought Obama might show up in North Dakota, Heitkamp said: “Nope, no.”
“He threatened to campaign against me once so I don’t think he’s coming out there,” she said. While the former president remains extremely popular with the Democratic base, especially among African-American voters, Democrats fear his entrance into some battleground states could inadvertently rev up conservatives and pro-Trump voters. “Trump wants nothing more than a foil. He knows he can activate the other side,” said a source familiar with Obama’s thinking.
The former president is “going to be involved this fall in a very Obamaesque, smart way,” the source added. Democrats say that one way Obama can have a big impact on races is by urging infrequent voters to show up to the polls in November, something that will be a major theme of the former president’s speech on Friday. “He will echo his call to reject the rising strain of authoritarian politics and policies. And he will preview arguments he’ll make this fall, specifically that Americans must not fall victim to our own apathy by refusing to do the most fundamental thing demanded of us as citizens: vote,” said Obama communications director Katie Hill. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), said the party welcomes Obama’s help but noted it’s up to individual candidates whether to invite him to their states.
