Protesters rally at state Capitol against Evers’ stay-at-home order

Protesters rally at state Capitol against Evers’ stay-at-home order

But pockets of protesters roamed the Capitol square with long guns over their shoulders.

That included Duncan Lemp, 21, who said he came to the protest to exercise his rights. He explained his decision to carry a rifle because “free men don’t ask permission.” Lemp declined to say where he’s from other than he’s a Wisconsin resident.

“People have given up their rights so quickly for safety, and it scares me,” Lemp said.

Of course no one will question the use of someone, who shares the same name, of a man was murdered by police in Maryland?!

Obama staffer wants ‘cognitive infiltration’ of 9/11 conspiracy groups

Sunstein, whose article focuses largely on the 9/11 conspiracy theories, suggests that the government “enlist nongovernmental officials in the effort to rebut the theories. It might ensure that credible independent experts offer the rebuttal, rather than government officials themselves. There is a tradeoff between credibility and control, however. The price of credibility is that government cannot be seen to control the independent experts.”

Sunstein’s response to these criticisms is easy to find in what he writes, and is as telling as the proposal itself.  He acknowledges that some “conspiracy theories” previously dismissed as insane and fringe have turned out to be entirely true (his examples:  the CIA really did secretly administer LSD in “mind control” experiments; the DOD really did plot the commission of terrorist acts inside the U.S. with the intent to blame Castro; the Nixon White House really did bug the DNC headquarters).  Given that history, how could it possibly be justified for the U.S. Government to institute covert programs designed to undermine anti-government “conspiracy theories,” discredit government critics, and increase faith and trust in government pronouncements?
