November 2011:
Given that Election 2012 is exactly one year away, my seminar manual
How To Counter Group Manipulation Tactics, updated last summer, is
in such demand printings can barely keep up. So, I have tweaked the
publication a bit once again to reflect the new sense of urgency. It
is still the small, compact size without the spiral binding. The
self-tests are still there, with a couple improvements, and the
strategies remain expanded beyond education issues to include other
topics such as environmental regulations that are at the forefront
of committees, focus groups and task forces. Here’s a sample of the
comments I am getting: |

EAKMAN'S ANTI DELPHI BOOK
“I'm reading your 2011 ‘How to Counter’ book, in preparation for a
trip to Santiago, where I will be meeting with government, business
and free market think tank people, giving a couple of presentations,
participating in a debate…. You have done a masterful job of
analyzing the provocateur, change agent, community organizer,
consensus-builder, societal controller mindset and tactics — and
explaining how to counter them. It is exactly the education that my
colleagues need. I'd like … another copy of your book to take with
me and give my colleagues.” -- Paul Driessen, Author, Columnist and
Senior policy advisor, Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow and
Congress of Racial Equality
“If you’ve been to a public meeting lately, you will see the meeting
is run by a man or woman who is not really part of the group in an
‘official’ capacity. They are called “facilitators.” His/her job is
to bring the group to ‘consensus’…. If you begin to question the
policy, or ask who the facilitator represents, or in general show
signs of disagreement, the facilitator quickly loses his/her charm
and begins to [portray] you as “uncooperative” or a troublemaker who
is wasting the group’s time…. Best-selling author Beverly Eakman has
been conducting one-day seminars for years to teach the good guys
how to bust up these facilitator-controlled public policy meetings….
The problem was, Beverly could only conduct so many seminars and
that made for a small distribution of the [accompanying] manual. Now
that has changed. Beverly has updated the manual to stand on its own
… and released it as a stand alone book. That means activists across
the nation can now learn how to take back control of their
government just by reading and following the advice in How To
Counter Group Manipulation Tactics, 2011 Edition.” -- Tom DeWeese,
President, American Policy Center (as published in The New American) |
