How Collectivists Use the Diamond Tactic To
Sway Public Meetings and
How to Thwart Them
By G. Edward Griffin
In the 1960s, I came across a small training manual distributed
by the Communist Party that showed how a small group of people – as few as
four – could dominate a much larger group and sway the outcome of any
action taken by that group. It was called the Diamond Technique. The principle is based on the fact that
people in groups tend to be effected by mass psychology. They derive
comfort and security from being aligned with the majority, especially if
controversy or conflict is involved. Even if they do not like what the
majority is doing, if they believe they are in the minority, they tend to
remain silent and resigned to the fact that the majority should rule. This
being the case, the Diamond Techniques is designed to convince the group
that as few as four people represent the majority. Here is the strategy:
1. Plan ahead of time what action you want the group to
take: nominate or oppose a candidate, support or oppose an issue, heckle a
speaker, or whatever. Everyone on your team must know exactly what they are
going to do, including contingency plans.
2. Team members should arrive at the meeting separately
and never congregate together.
3. Team players should arrive early enough to take seats
around the outside of the assembly area, roughly in the shape of a diamond.
They must not sit together.
4. The object of the tactic is place your people around
the perimeter of the audience so that, when they begin to take action,
those in the center will have to do a lot of head turning to see them – to
the right, then the left, then the rear of the room, then the front, etc.
The more they turn their heads, the greater the illusion of being
surrounded by people in agreement with each other, and the more they will
be convinced that these people represent the majority opinion.
I have seen this tactic used by collectivists at
numerous public meetings over the years, and I have participated in it
myself on several occasions when confronting collectivists in their own
tightly held organizations. It works.
The only way to thwart the Diamond Tactic is to always
be prepared to match it with your own team. Never take a meeting for
granted, especially if something important is scheduled to transpire, such
as nomination of officers. Even a simple gathering to hear an important
speaker can turn into a nightmare if opponents send in hecklers. So, always
plan for the worst and be prepared to spring into action with comments from
the floor such as: “I want to make it clear that these people do not speak
for me. I am in total opposition to what they stand for. In fact, I would
like to ask them to identify themselves. Who are you? Why did you come to
this meeting? What is your agenda?” If comments such as this are heard from
three or four people around the outside of the room, the meeting will be
very exciting, but the tactic will be defused.

· The very worst thing about “Agenda 21”
is, they are implementing it in an un-American way because it is anti-
American. They know if we the people
were asked to vote on it and ratify it by each state, it would never pass.
· They are all guilty. This is not about being a Democrat or a
Republican it’s about being an American.
Every elected official who is sneaking this past the citizens of
this country is not worthy of calling themselves an American.
· There is no middle road here. You either support implementing Agenda 21
or you oppose implementing Agenda 21.
Which flag is your flag?
AGENDA
21
FREEDOM 21
 
· Make “Agenda 21” an election issue for
your Congressman.
· “Agenda 21” should be a public debate
issue. Let’s bring “Agenda 21” out
of the closet and shine the bright light of scrutiny on the subject so all
Americans know what’s happening.
· Become an anti-soviet, become a Freedom
21 Fighter.
· To be a Freedom 21 Fighter you don’t have
to join anything. You don’t have to
pay any dues. You don’t have to
attend any meetings. You just have
to learn about Agenda 21 because you can’t fight something you know nothing
about. Then you must share your
knowledge with your friends and neighbors.
And the next time you meet someone who is running for elected
office, any office, ask them where they stand on Agenda 21 “sustainable
development”. Be a Freedom 21
Fighter!
· May GOD Bless the United States of
America.
