I just don’t know if this is unusual or not. Remembered the Bush administration locked down a lot of the science that would normally be released to the public.

Alternative Facts…the only ones permitted. When the push back comes…and it will come…just stand back and enjoy the show.

We need an Underground Railroad for Truth.

Telling civil service workers that they are not allowed to speak to the press on ANY subject is a fascist agenda. I do hope that these government workers will routinely talk to friends, who then can talk to the press, so as not to have the workers “swimming with the fishes,” which would not surprise me.

This is serious – I also read that trump wants to cut the EPA by $815,000,000! I really hope that soon, those ‘purists’ who just had to vote for the Green Party with start to have nightmares about what they have done.

“Fascism is a form of political and social behavior that arises when the middle class, finding its hopes frustrated by economic instability coupled with political polarization and deadlock, abandons traditional ideologies and turns, with the approbation of police and military forces, to a poorly-defined but emotionally appealing soteriology of national unity, immediate and direct resolution of problems, and intolerance for dissent.” (Chuck Anesi, 2008)

So the PeePee Ministers of Propaganda have now take full control of the government. Every piece of information or intelligence must first be filtered and corrected to reflect the Breitbart-approved messaging.

PeePee’s Titanic has already hit the iceberg and the leaks will be massive!

I’m having flashbacks to our former federal administration here in Canada. Anti-science, anti-data, anti-transparency. For a decade we had a deeply flawed propaganda machine and only on rare occasion did actual facts see the light of day (and usually at great risk to those leaking it).

Y’all in the deep shit now.

Lawsuits and leaks. So, so many lawsuits–the Scott Pruitt way. So, so many leaks–the Comey and Chaffetz way. Use their own tools against them.

I hate to say it, but we need another Katrina like debacle to demonstrate the venal incompetence of this gang of человек…

Well, duh…they have to instruct everyone in what the alternative facts are first, and they can’t do that until they’ve got a handle on the real facts, so in the meantime, they need to make it a termination offense for anyone to be releasing any real facts.
