It was a response to your post specifically about a response to the January 6th Commission.

Maybe that would help. But i see Soros money buying the election of some pretty useless and corrupt state AGs.

A multipartisan/nonpaetisan panel of judges would seem to me to have more checks and balances agsinst hijacking of hearings.

There just isn’t any such thing as non partisan. Sorry.

That’s why I included multipartisan. As in various stakeholders nominate their preferred judge/s to sit on the commission. That would make it hard/er for a few commissioners to bury an unconfessed crime by one of their “favoured team members”, revealed by one of the conscience-clearers.

How would that differ from congress which is a multi partisan entity currently tasked with oversight? Seems the only difference would be, they aren’t elected. I can’t see how removing voter oversight would be a plus.

The foxes are presently policing the foxes. How does that have integrity? Hence the continuing corruption which remains unhealed.

Well, I have long said, the major flaw in the countries governing scheme is that the fed, foxes if you will, are the guardians of the henhouse. As in, the only thing checking federal power are federal institutions. At least since the seventeenth was repealed. Maybe just reverse that instead.

Calling for a MINISTRY of truth?

That would make the transition from free press to government propaganda complete.

Count me out.

How would having a regular truth commission affect the press?

The press would cover the commission’s deliberations and testimony to expose malfeasance in federal government.

That would be a government clearing house of information that would cause governing individuals to shut up and point to it for anything even remotely controversial.

It would not be good.

We want these idiots to free lance and reveal the truth behind the official script.

This paragraph doesn’t make any sense to me. Does it need editing?

It simply means that (government) people would be afraid to talk and run counter to an “official” position.

That was not the case in other truth commissions. Why would the US be different?

I disagree. Too subjective and distracting.
