trump's AG authorized warrants for the government to spy on journalists

http://nypost.com/2017/05/31/the-government-is-spying-on-journalists-to-find-leakers/

in case you were wondering if this is full blown fascism or not, it is.

So then, what are they worried about? (After all it IS the NYpo):

Some in the administration are focusing on a retired, high-ranking military officer who held important posts in the intelligence service, according to the source.

The possibly high-ranking leaker was getting some of his information from people inside the White House who were holdovers from the Obama administration, the source said.

Those White House leakers — said to be three people — have either already been fired or will soon be, the source claims.

If true, it's certainly Nixonian.

Personally, I don't trust the Rupert Murdoch organ, NY Post.

The NY Post, like Fox News, should be taken as an entertainment organization instead of a news organization. Rush, Michelle, Anne, Sean, Glenn, Heritage Foundation, AEI, et al, and the NY Post along with the Washington Times all recirculate the same opinion pieces as "news" stories.

First, spy on reporters.
Then body slam them.
Then yell/tweet 'fake news!'

...and the final solution?

'Lugenpresse'

No fascist authoritarianism here. Move along- or the jackbooted enforcers will pay you a visit.

A fascist America is my worst nightmare.

Hail to the leakers. Without them we'd have no fucking idea what's going on.

The British conservative Tory led government is trying to figure out how to outlaw 'political extremism' on the internet.

They haven't been successful because they can't seem to define it.

But think about the implications; potentially anything could be labeled 'extremist' and banned...

So much for freedom of speech.

I think this is the next battle the conservatives will open up here in the States.

'you have freedom of speech- but only within limits'- and someone else gets to define those limits.

The worst sort of rubbish.
