Please help me with this,'Tension Between Two or More Target Groups'.link>
can some one please give me current examples, i have "Problems" following the logic.. MY mother, who is 84 said she can see the manipulation and when it started and is really interested.. she is really sick of both sides bullshit, I have been trying to explain that her feelings are a result of the propaganda/disinformation program, that her responce is programed...she is really up to accepting that with some better explanation..

I am Right Brain dominant and havent been able to make the logical connection.. though i can see the elemets and theater.

so please give us some current examples.. here is a link to what i am referring to ....

4. Dick Morris...recent example.
When he was an advisor to President Clinton, he did this and called it Triangulation. The basic theory is that you get the extremes of both sides riled about a policy issue you wish to pursue, but is not yet popular with the public. They start their back and forth and you swoop in and take a seemingly "middle" position. However, it wasn't a middle position when you set out to achieve it. Now it just seems in the middle because of the extremes. You gain public support. You get your way.
