GETTING CLOBBERED IN MEETINGS?
LEARN HOW TO COUNTER GROUP MANIPULATION TACTICS
Before you volunteer for that curriculum committee, school violence
task force or focus group; before you run for school board or PTA

First, you'll need to recognize:
- Provocateurs, agitators, change agents
- "Psychologically controlled environments''
- The principles of "scientific coercion''
- A rigged audience or committee
- Techniques used to ostracize people
- Phony consensus strategies
