No. They won’t be “controlling truth”.

672

What makes you think that they won’t try?

673

Well the head of the NSA testified to Congress he spy on American citizens. Oh…wait… :wink:

In 2013 when you were asked about it, you said ‘no,'” McCain said. “So that is a lie.”

“I made a mistake,” Clapper said. “I didn’t lie. I was thinking about something else, another program.” :crazy_face:

.“.I merely found these drugs and was on my way to the police station to turn them in”…:sunglasses: :tumbler_glass:

With the usual caveat that this thing doesn’t even have a charter yet: the article previously posted indicates that it is going to integrate info from the various agencies under DHS; all of whom already have PR shops.

So, at this time, there is no reason to think it will be much different.

675

Alright then, if your default is that government always lies, what is the problem? A lie from an individual department, or a lie from the disinfo board is still a lie.

676

Open your eyes oh naive one…the lying is rampant and prevalent all around you.

Okay, so lies from individual departments or lies from the board. What’s the difference?

678

You’re wrong on this one.

679

Actually, if the history of government assuming new powers is any guide, there is no reason to believe that they won’t abuse this power if they get it.

I doubt it.

But there isn’t an assumption of new power. It is a consolidation of the messaging various departments.

Usual caveat applies.

682

Don’t be naïve. The “consolidation” is the further entrenchment and strengthening of power.

683

The power and strengthening of the PR shops? :roll_eyes:

Please.

Standard caveat applies

684

The caveat being that you are probably wrong. :wink:

685

No, the caveat being there isn’t a charter yet, which means you and I have the same information, and I may reevaluate my position once more info is available.

686

So … Two caveats. :wink:

687

Nope, one caveat.

The second caveat can be yours
