Sorry , I have to repeat it one more time . Shit getting real
In a free country, information about citizens is protected by law. Information about the government is open to the public.
In a police state, information about the government is secret and the citizen’s lives are open books.
Such total information inversion is necessary to facilitate the crimes of government and to prevent those crimes from becoming public knowledge
As summed up by Al Gore
"By closely guarding information about their own behavior, they are dismantling a fundamental element of our system of checks and balances. Because so long as the government’s actions are secret, they cannot be held accountable. A government for the people and by the people must be transparent to the people. "
Henceforth, all government communications will come from the POTUS Twitter account. Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer will then follow up with alternative facts.
It sounds like the beginning of a take over by the pod people…first the telephone lines go down and there is no communication. They look human, however…just don’t fall asleep. It would be appropriate since it is the Ag dept. Where is Kevin McCarthy when you need him?
Doesn’t even begin to describe .
Everyone was all give him a chance and such bullshit.
The rubber has hit the road and we are full speed in reverse .
The oligarchs are in control and it goes downhill from here.
Next up: civil rights
Of course they’ve been ordered to cease public communications. Can’t have scientists undermining Trump-Putin’s lies now, can we?
I’m surprised the Trump-Putin administration hasn’t announced the end of all investigations into Trump’s finances and Russian electoral interference yet.
Can we file FOIA requests? Can we keep filing for all internal communication, day after day? Could we write a program to generate the forms for every government office and file them automatically?
I voted for Clinton and marched on Saturday, but this is not unusual. All government agencies have press offices. Employees at NASA (or any other agency) are told that they may not communicate directly with the press. Instead, they may communicate through the agency press office. It was that way under Obama, Bush, (Bill) Clinton and to the beginning of time.
The weird thing is that the Trump team didn’t know it. Everyone in government knows it.
