We trust, we listen and are steered by words, emotions, wants, dislikes. They organize or mobilize to steer you where they need you. Push back…Resist their mobilizations and organizations. Resist their propaganda arm, the MSm. Check out their roots! 

“Alinsky summarized it this way: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it…. [T]here is no point to tactics unless one has a target upon which to center the attacks.”[47] He held that the organizer’s task was to cultivate in people’s hearts a negative, visceral emotional response to the face of the enemy. “The organizer who forgets the significance of personal identification,” said Alinsky, “will attempt to answer all objections on the basis of logic and merit. With few exceptions this is a futile procedure.”[48]

“Young activists looking for pragmatic ways to reach middle America and move beyond rhetorical posturing responded enthusiastically. They created several mobilizing techniques in the mid-1970s based on Alinsky’s new views. These included door to door canvassing, then direct mail fundraising, and more recently Internet mobilizations. All are based on a formula: find a target or enemy to demonize, stir up emotion with inflammatory language, and create a script that defines the issue in terms of good versus evil. Hillary Clinton’s activist relationships have always been closely associated with this mobilizing approach…”

“In contrast, the Gamaliel Foundation, like other broad-based organizing networks (as they call themselves), took a very different approach after Alinsky’s death. Gamaliel began to emphasize organizing in contrast to mobilizing. What they call organizing involves an intense focus on developing public skills and talents of participants.”

“This year’s political campaign continues to shine a spotlight on community organizing as a profession. The community organizers who comprise the Gamaliel Network work tirelessly behind the scenes. They train and raise up community leaders to take center stage to improve life for their members.”
