Maybe the folks running the HealthCare.gov call centers don't have an enemies list. Instead, based on the experience of Fox News's Jim Angle, it might be an enemies directory, with anyone they're aware of in the media and perhaps other organizations included therein.
That's what one almost has to think based on the experience Angle relayed via Twitter Friday (HT Twitchy; individual Angle tweets are here, here, and here):
The body of Angle's report was also important, because it showed how another aspect of President Obama's core promise to the Americans people — this time, it was "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, period," won't pan out, because Obamacare plans are deliberately keeping the number of doctors in their networks low to try to control costs.
Angle's on-air summary: "So the site seems to be more successful at identifying reporters than explaining the options and signing people up for health insurance."
Based on how Angle relayed the story, it would appear that the only way the helpful HC.gov call center folks could have determined that Angle was a likely media member was by cross-checking his given address against an existing list or directory of media members' home addresses.
If that's the case ... Wow. Talk about paranoia.
If a member of the establishment press had received this kind of creepy treatment at a citizen service line during the Bush 43 administration, I daresay it would have gotten noticed by the likes of the New York Times and the Associated Press.
I don't think that's going to happen this time around.
Here's one reaction to Angle's second tweet:
They can track you but they can't enroll you now that is weird.
I can think of a few other words more apt to the circumstances than "weird."
It's Experian, the credit agency
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the registration of all persons. Postmaster General to operate a national registration
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution,
of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S. financial institution in any undefined national emergency.
It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months.
And you though you were protected by the Bill of Rights?
Well, yes, if Congress ever chose to review and nullify any of these orders -but they don’t so they stand as the law of the land.
Freeper hosepipe
I wonder what he would have told to someone like Scott Pelley or Bob Schieffer of CBS?
Like I’ve said since the dog and pony show with the “contractors” went to testify before that congressional hearing...
The ONE agency within that group “Experian”, had the only system that did not need much in the way of testing, and was feasibly ready for the roll-out of the original website was their program, system, that provided the reporting functions of the website to whatever recipiants were due to receive that informtion...
Why do you think they needed a private “Credit Reporting Agency” to give that website the ability to do this function???
Well, those 15,000 IRS ObamaCare enforcers will neeed information to whom is signing up and who is not...
If you believe your logins, access, “shopping” is not being cataloged and being reported as we speak...
I got some land in Louisiana I wanna sell ya, cheap!!!
Thanks for bringing this up “Bert”!!!
“I wonder what he would have told to someone like Scott Pelley or Bob Schieffer of CBS?”
Those humps do not need to call...They (and their staffs)are briefed, and told what, and how to report, these things to the low-information voters...
I think this whole encounter plays out tremendously well for those of us who understand what this ObamaCare/ACA really is...
My guess is when they had James Rosen under investigation they nabbed his contact list. In that list would be every fox reporter including their home and cell number. To have Justice share this with anyone is an impeachable offense.
Ping
He would be called back by “an advanced resolution specialist”. I read it as “an advanced REVOLUTION specialist” and had to re-read. nevermind
yes.....
Occam’s razor..... simple solution is best
I suspect they would have offered to e-mail the current Obama talking points to ensure they have their media opinions properly calibrated.
The raised chin is the epitome of arrogance and conceit, and this cabinet is full of copy cats.
The AP's not as impressed with Obamba as they were... maybe they'll cover this. As for the New York Times? Hopeless - utterly hopeless.
I’m gonna guess that Jim Angle didn’t vote Tea Party last time around. Anyone in the media can shove the righteous indignation about privacy right up their arse.
This entire debacle is about erasing privacy and controlling the masses.
Stalin should have had it so easy.
Another person HHS doesn’t work for. Now it’s government of the Democrat, for the Democrat and by the Democrat. Republicans are denied tax exempt status, get IRS audits, and their candidates’ confidential tax information and soon healthcare and financial information will be in the DNC’s data bank. The left has declared war on the right, and the federal government is their personal domain.
Honestly, does anyone think fair and impartial service will be provided when they made sure the Obamacare phone number was 1-800-318-2596, or as many have pointed out, 1-800-F.U. see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHOZiV4RW_w.
There’s no way they can deny that your occupation or political affiliation will affect the information you get from O’Care website. It’s obvious, if you’re a member of the media (or is it just the conservative media?), you aren’t allowed to shop at healthcare.gov.
