The Washington Post wrote the following a couple of days ago: The Obama administration is reportedly proposing Cass Sunstein as a member of a panel to review the surveillance practices of the National Security Agency (NSA), among other former White House and intelligence staffers. Sunstein was the head of the White House’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs until last year, when he returned to teaching at Harvard Law School. While at Harvard in 2008, Sunstein co-authored a working paper that suggests government agents or their allies “cognitively infiltrate” conspiracy theorist groups by joining ”chat rooms, online social networks or even real-space groups” and influencing the conversation.

I wonder the same thing? Satire???
No, not satire. Article was at the ABC link posted upthread. Sunstein is not theonly choice, but he is on the short list. Heaven please help us.
Is here no end to this commie-run regime? I’m so sick of these radicals put in positions of power. Lord, have mercy on us as a nation - and we have over 3 years of this to go. It seems like an eternity!
His wife is none other than the anti-American, Israel hating Samantha Powers. Somehow I feel their simultaneous rise is quite sinister.
Good to see he’s still on the case.
I always knew he was a dick.
My goodness. This clown is a major creep.
Sounds about right. Big Brother chooses O’Brien to investigate the NSA following Emmanuel Goldstein’s treachery.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don’t add you to the list...
Oh Lord, I wish it were. But as John Semmens knows, some days the news is damn near indistinguishable from satire.
As Tom Lehrer said, "Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize."
The actions of the Obama administration are taking the "obsolete" body of political satire, running it through a meat grinder, drying it to a crisp in the arid desert sun, and then scattering it to the four winds.
Which makes John's work that much more difficult.
But no, alas, this piece is not satire, nor "semi-satire, semi-news". It's just the sad, sad, truth.
Bosch pretty much saw our world.
He thinks pets should be able to sue their owners.
But not that citizens should be able to sue their betters.
“Let’s play “Spot the Cognitive Infiltrator” All you have to do is watch the replies on this thread.”
They’ll probably wait for another thread now. Good one.
Just thinking about this makes the hair on the back of my head feel prickly.
This is - extreme - in our faces - being rubbed in it - because the fiend and his handler fiends know the Rs are so d***less they will say and do nothing.
It’s as though every single person who should be fighting against this coup is a neutered pantswetting mesmerized bunny wabbit.
It’s unbelievable.
All the Rs, judges, governors - everyone - is letting this happen. They’re allowing it to happen. And all the media is either Goebbels propaganda or avoiding the crux of the coup. They are scared of getting Breitbarted.
But they could - stand together, strength in numbers, there are things they could do. But they’re too chickens*** to do anything.
