Obama Czar Sunstein wants to ban Global Warming “Deniers” from speaking
Uh Oh. It looks like our climategate.com office in the states might be raided soon. For conspiracy theorizing.
Another one of President Obama’s radical czars, this time the Regulatory Czar, Cass Sunstein, argued the U.S. government should ban the right of U.S. citizens to advocate conspiracy theories. That would include banning what we write on this blog–that global warming is a fraud. And it looks like there’s more work for ACORN too. Sunstein also wants to disrupt the efforts of the “extremists” by sending government send agents to infiltrate groups.
WordldNetDaily broke the story today and has obtained a 30-page, 2008 Harvard law paper, “Conspiracy Theories,” that Sunstein, and co-author Harvard law professor Adrian Vermeule, ask, “What can government do about conspiracy theories?”
In other words, how do they shut up their enemies.
Their answer:
“We can readily imagine a series of possible responses. (1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing. (2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories.”
and
“We suggest a distinctive tactic for breaking up the hard core of extremists who supply conspiracy theories: cognitive infiltration of extremist groups, whereby government agents or their allies (acting either virtually or in real space, and either openly or anonymously) will undermine the crippled epistemology of believers by planting doubts about the theories and stylized facts that circulate within such groups, thereby introducing beneficial cognitive diversity.”
What are some conspiracy theories Sunstein recommends banning?
- “The theory of global warming is a deliberate fraud.”
- “The view that the Central Intelligence Agency was responsible for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.”
- “The 1996 crash of TWA flight 800 was caused by a U.S. military missile.”
- “The Trilateral Commission is responsible for important movements of the international economy.”
- “That Martin Luther King Jr. was killed by federal agents.”
- “The moon landing was staged and never actually occurred.”
Sunstein has a history of other assaults on free speech, and are outlined in the WND article.
These people want global governance of our lives so badly, they’ll stop at nothing. .

Sounds like Sunnstein is a conspiracy theorist.
He must be silenced before he pollutes the minds of others. Cart him away, I say. Lock him up, now!
Ok guys! If the worst comes to the worst we’ll maintain the climategate.com operation over here in the UK until we can get you all bailed out!
Global warming deniers are evil, but the CIA did kill Kennedy.
Those of us who are TRULY “in the know,” (wink, nudge) are convinced that Kennedy is frolicking on the beach of a desert island, even as we fight the good fight against the CAGW alarmists.
I painted stripes on my tin foil beanie. It looks cool as hell and has been very reliable in blocking aliens’ mind-control rays.
Sunstein is an idiot straight up! I tried to warn my supposedly “moderate” Senator McCaskill not to confirm this left wing nut job progressive radical, but she didn’t listen. Thats because there are no moderates in the Democratic party anymore. Hey Jay it seems to me its the AGW crowd who seem to be denying reality. They can’t even get the scientific method correct. They can’t defend their adjustments to data so hide it or act like its established fact. You warmist’s are losing the public better dream up a new crisis!
Yeah, Jay, what Ronnie said above.
I hate it fuh yuh. (‘Cept not rilly.) About 2 of every 3 Americans have caught on to the Global Planet Warming Change Emergency Catastrophe Man Made BS. Now, that’s a tipping point I can live with. Hell, that tipping point might cause a tippling point for me, and I stopped drinking 30 years ago.
But, what the hay. If you’ll drive me to drink, I’ll pay for the evil fossil fuels (gas). Hey, that’s an idea. Drunk folks should stop driving to the liquor store for more booze. See? Even the inebriated can help stop global warming change thingamabobs.
Actually, drunk drivers are a menace all on their own, never mind that their cars emit the evil pollutant CO2.
It is strange that of all the conspiracy theories mentioned and Climategate, Climategate has probably the most amount of evidence. I think the conspiracy theories were included to further discredit Climategate. Hey guys, it isn’t a conspiracy theory. It is a conspiracy! Read the F**king emails and tell me it’s not! I am so fed up with socialist, leftist idiots only reading and seeing want they want to see. They are using this garbage in conjunction with the UN to justify global governance and the removal of our freedoms.
The very fact these Marxists are crying WOLF confirms they have something to hide.
Their very own GLOBAL CONSPIRACY.
“What can government do about conspiracy theories?”
Hmmm, maybe start by telling the truth to their citizens once in a while… hey, just an idea, could be worth trying.
Why has the gov got so many Marxists like Sunstein working for them? The phrase “czars” seems ever so appropiate, but why has the idea of become so popular in the USA?
Big story at watts up with that major USA climate fraud see video 4
The freedom of speech, and expression to disagree with anything is the cornerstone of a liberal democracy……
100% true.
It’s not the government’s business to establish thought crimes. In fact, it’s unconstitutional.
But since when has this crowd given a fig for our founding document? The whole lot of ‘em, from Obama on down, are totally corrupt.
More of Obama’s “transparent” government.
We need ask ourselves:
If they promise to be the most open and ethical leadership ever; and then meet behind closed doors locking the public out of the healthcare conversation, WHY would any independent thinker ASSUME there’s no conspiracy elsewhere?
When you watch Senators and Congressmen stand up for what they think is right only to knuckle under and accept bribes and ‘fall in line’. In the light of day no less!
Sunstein is a good soldier, he’d fall on his sword without even ‘THINKING’ about it!
These people are Whores, same as the AGW men of science who look the other way as numbers are adjusted. I am ashamed of my elected representatives, many would sleep with you if that’s what it took to stay in power a day longer.
These are times when people are tested, We will not forget who changed their vote in exchange for gold.
It is obvious the Americans have fallen prey to a con man.
it’s worth keeping mind that Google is the supplier of the core search technology for ‘Intellipedia, a highly-secured online system where 37,000 U.S. spies and related personnel share information and collaborate on their devious errands.
Agencies such as the so-called ‘National Security Agency’ have also purchased servers using Google-supplied search technology which processes information gathered by U.S. spies operating all over the planet.
In addition, Google is linked to the U.S. spy and military systems through its Google Earth software venture. The technology behind this software was originally developed by Keyhole Inc., a company funded by Q-Tel http://www.iqt.org/ , a venture capital firm which is in turn openly funded and operated on behalf of the CIA.
The ‘Visible’ technology can automatically examine more than a million discussions and posts on blogs, online forums, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter, Amazon, and so forth each day. The technology also ’scores’ each online item, assigning it a positive, negative or mixed or neutral status, based on parameters and terms set by the technology operators. The information, thus boiled down, can then be more effectively scanned and read by human operators.
The CIA venture capitalists at In-Q-Tel say they will use the technology to monitor social media operating in other countries and give U.S. spies “early-warning detection on how issues are playing internationally,” according to spokesperson Donald Tighe. There is every possibility that the technology can also be used by the U.S. intelligence operatives to spy on domestic social movements and individuals inside the U.S – so watch people!
Joseph Stalin must be laughing in his grave.
Muhahahaha!
Well, you were half right. I’m currently frolicking on the beach of a desert island somewhere.
