Orwellian CA Bill: Reporters Can’t Post Undercover Videos
Reality of Sense ^ | 8/16/2016 | Reality of Sense

Planned Parenthood wielding new hammer against free speech.

This one is big. It adds to California’s growing reputation as Police State Central.

First we had SB 277, which forced vaccinations on school children. Now we have Assembly Bill 1671, which would make it a crime for journalists to post and report on certain undercover videos, even though they didn’t make the videos.

That’s right. In California, such videos are already illegal, because they don’t have permission of all parties to be recorded. But if Bill 1671 passes, reporters who are sent those videos, or find them, couldn’t post them and write stories about them. Mainstream, alternative, freelance reporters—it wouldn’t matter.

Jerry Brown is quite the fascist.

Back when the ACORN scandal was exposed by hidden video, Brown’s only comment was that the muckrakers should be prosecuted.

He is following up and setting up a future where leftist power is consolidated and essentially illegal to oppose.

“First we had SB 277, which forced vaccinations on school children.”

These things are not even close to being in the same league.

The author undercuts his credibility by needlessly throwing out anti vaccine extremism.

I wondar how much of this is motivated by shady governmental dealings. (That is to ask: is the government protecting itself with this bill?)

Are they? The forced vaccine thing seems to undermine the parent's authority in favor of the government; this bill criminalizing the posting of undercover video seems to me to be government protecting itself from being exposed.

Actually, DK did see the future. Opening lines of the song (written in 1978):

I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president...

Carter Power will soon go away
I will be Fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
Your kids will meditate in school!
