The White House Gets Sued for Its Fishy Email Program
American Thinker ^ | 9/1/09 | Sammy Benoit

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) and the Coalition for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) have filed suit in the District of Columbia Federal Court against the White House Over the "Sounds fishy, spy on your neighbor and send an email" program which drew fire last month.

Named in the suit are The Executive Office of the President, The White House Office of Health Care Reform and its director Nancy-Ann Deparle, and Macon Phillips, White House Director of New Media

Where was that great protector of freedom, the ACLU, on this? Of course I'm being sarcastic!

For cripes sake, can't we recognize a coup d'état when we see one? Time to start calling a spade a spade.

A coup d'état (pronounced /ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/, us dict: kōō′·dā·tâ′), or coup for short, is the sudden unconstitutional deposition of a legitimate government, usually by a small group of the existing state establishment — typically the military — to replace the deposed government with another, either civil or military. A coup d’état succeeds when the usurpers establish their legitimacy if the attacked government fail to thwart them, by allowing their (strategic, tactical, political) consolidation and then receiving the deposed government’s surrender; or the acquiescence of the populace and the non-participant military forces.

Typically, a coup d’état uses the extant government’s power to assume political control of the country. In Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook, military historian Edward Luttwak says: "A coup consists of the infiltration of a small, but critical, segment of the state apparatus, which is then used to displace the government from its control of the remainder”, thus, armed force (either military or paramilitary) is not a defining feature of a coup d’État.

That’s what I’ve been calling it, too — a slow coup.

The key to identifying this one;

"A coup consists of the infiltration of a small, but critical, segment of the state apparatus, which is then used to displace the government from its control of the remainder”, thus, armed force (either military or paramilitary) is not a defining feature of a coup d’État.

WRONG COURT.

http://blogtalk.vo.llnwd.net/o23/shows/show_668436.mp3

Rodney Glass did the research, now we get the benefit. You can’t file a lawsuit in a Federal Court for something going on INSIDE DC. It has to be in the DC Court and there is NO APPEAL to any higher Court.

LISTEN http://blogtalk.vo.llnwd.net/o23/shows/show_668436.mp3

The caller is Joyce Rosenwald a researcher who has lots of info on her webpage. (Google both names for their page urls.)
