[Mishmash] "misinformation" policing

[Hugh Gigante]

Read the accounts of the early stages of Nazi growth in Germany.

BTW any government agency using my money to gather information it does not
like is wrong and bad for the country. All of those fools are employees
there to do whatever it is we want them to do . . . not advance their own
agenda.

The White House is our most costly public housing unit . . . those who live
in it employees who work for us. When more people start to look at
government that way (and when the figure out that every time any government
hands money to someone without receiving value - like this fool car program
- they have to first collect it from someone who earned it) we'll begin to
return to being a democratic republic.

The significant difference is what the government meant to do with 
the information.  In the case of the Nazis, dissenters disappeared 
into the death camps.  Anybody who seriously believes a U.S. 
administration has this in mind, or could get away with it if it 
wanted to, has to be smoking some strange stuff.  The Nazis had 
complete control of the government.  In the U.S., Congressional party 
leaders don't even control their own parties.  The phrase "herding 
cats" comes to mind.

It's available on line.  See the link in my earlier posting.
