Obama Information Czar Calls For Banning Free Speech
-
The controversy surrounding White House information czar and Harvard Professor Cass Sunstein’s blueprint for the government to infiltrate political activist groups has deepened, with the revelation that in the same 2008 dossier he also called for the government to tax or even ban outright political opinions of which it disapproved. Sunstein was appointed by President Obama to head up the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, an agency within the Executive Office of the President. On page 14 of Sunstein’s January 2008 white paper entitled “Conspiracy Theories,” the man who is now Obama’s head of information technology in the White House proposed that each of the following measures “will have a place under imaginable conditions” according to the strategy detailed in the essay. 1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing. 2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories. That’s right, Obama’s information czar wants to tax or ban outright, as in make illegal, political opinions that the government doesn’t approve of. To where would this be extended? A tax or a shut down order on newspapers that print stories critical of our illustrious leaders? http://www.infowars.com/obama-information-czar-calls-for-banning-free-speech/[^]

Have you read the actual white paper the guy wrote? The link on Info wars doesn't work. I had to look up the actual article by his name to find it. I noticed further down in the article that he refers to wikipedia. I thought wikipedia wasn't a reliable source.

-5: Ignoring context. I'm reading the ACTUAL PAPER (Link[^])... What you quoted is the first two elements of a list of five alternatives, after which he advocates the OTHER three options. It's like saying, "Well, we could just kill all the crazies, but that's obviously not a good solution." Allow me to quote the OTHER alternatives, that he actually advocates: "(3) Government might itself engage in counterspeech, marshaling arguments to discredit conspiracy theories. (4) Government might formally hire credible private parties to engage in counterspeech. (5) Government might engage in informal communication with such parties, encouraging them to help." Translation: 3) Publicly debate against the conspiracy theorists 4) Pay a third-party to do previous 5) Instead of PAYING third-parties, as previous, convince them to volunteer In other words, he's advocating that the government stop ignoring the conspiracy nuts, and instead shut them up by showing everyone how ridiculous their claims are. Yeah, real sinister. When it says "each will have a place under imaginable conditions," in reference to all five points, pay attention to the word "imaginable." Not "likely," or "probable," but "imaginable." As in, if things get REALLY REALLY bad, i.e. complete anarchy and societal breakdown, those two options might end up on the negotiating table. You fail.

That's pretty much what I found after I read the white paper. The problem I have with people like Alex Jones is they prosper off of giving false statements, call it journalism and then when people call them on it they resort to name calling and the persecution response.

But they speak the journalistic truth! You are just a big doo-doo head that wants to see him destroyed! ;) How'd I do?

You missed out that the paper was written two years ago, a year before Paddy O'Barmy was elected. So, Mr President was planning to shut Wee-Parts up long before he even had the nomination, let alone being elected...

Well duh, he knew he was going to win. The conspiracy had already set it up. Otherwise they might have had Ron Paul to contend with. And we all know how scared they are of him.

For some reason I imagined Ron Jeremy[^] scaring people. I need to go clean my mind.
