In a lengthy academic paper , President Obama's regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein, argued the U.S. government should ban "conspiracy theorizing."
Among the beliefs Sunstein would ban is advocating that the theory of global warming is a deliberate fraud.
Sunstein also recommended the government send agents to infiltrate "extremists who supply conspiracy theories" to disrupt the efforts of the "extremists" to propagate their theories.
In a 2008 Harvard law paper, "Conspiracy Theories," Sunstein and co-author Adrian Vermeule, a Harvard law professor, ask, "What can government do about conspiracy theories?"
"We can readily imagine a series of possible responses. (1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing. (2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories."
In the 30-page paper obtained and reviewed by WND Sunstein argues the best government response to "conspiracy theories" is "cognitive infiltration of extremist groups."
Continued Sunstein: "We suggest a distinctive tactic for breaking up the hard core of extremists who supply conspiracy theories: cognitive infiltration of extremist groups, whereby government agents or their allies (acting either virtually or in real space, and either openly or anonymously) will undermine the crippled epistemology of believers by planting doubts about the theories and stylized facts that circulate within such groups, thereby introducing beneficial cognitive diversity ."

That sounds rather conspiratorial.
I was looking for the satire tag, too.

Reeducation camps?
He's to be the next Pope.
Wow, I can’t wait until 2010 and then 2012 to get rid of all of these people.
Mussolini later confessed that a few resolute men could have alerted public opinion and started a coup that would have swept fascism away.

Her and E. Howard Hunt ran guns from Miami to Dallas in mid Nov of 1963 and met one Frank Anthony Sturgis in a Dallas motel room (a couple other men were there too). Delivered were a half dozen Rifles with Scopes (Google is your friend).
(Yep that's the same E Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis of Watergate 'fame' and who both worked for the CIA when Jack got whacked. And as we found during Dubya's eight years there are definitely 'rogue agents' in the CIA.)
Without a vote ?
Its gonna take more then a couple of elections. More like a couple more centuries. Been going on since 1296 for at least some of us clans.
I agree, It is sad to see the American sheep herd still feeding at the trough without a clue about their impending shearing and slaughter.
Orin Hatch needs to GO! As does all the other RINO scum on the list.
It’s no conspiracy when it’s all right there out in the open.
This is what Glenn Beck has been saying for quite some time now.
This is the way they talk at Harvard???
Sometimes this does tax on the nerves. I fight with myself about over-reacting but it does pile up and make one wonder.
There was the EO on Interpol, I prob’ly don’t understand it and I’m getting my undies in a wad over nothing.
There’s now this counter-insurgency plan to fight gangs (Salinas, Ca and Chicago, Il— that I know of anyhow) I thought it a good idea at first but with more thought mebbe not...

“Leonard A. Ferrari, provost of the naval Postgraduate School, embraced the project from the start, hearing
an opportunity for a school in transition from just a defense institution to a national homeland and even a human security institution.
The idea was, not just Salinas, Ferrari said, but is there a national model for this?
The U.S. military officers advising Salinas on how to wage an anti-gang counterinsurgency are doing so as volunteers, to avoid Constitutional issues.”

Then we get the EO on the Team of Governors, I prob’ly don’t understand that, either..again getting my undies in a wad over nuttin’
Now I read this Czar insanity. It starts to make me wonder...good grief I can’t wait until Obama is out of office, he will drive me ‘round the bend!
Sounds like the conspirators are worried.
I thought the US Gooberment did not beleive in “conspiracies.” From JFK to the Fruit of the Kaboom they have always supported the “single, deranged, extremist” theory.
A good Czar is a dead Czar
