Just prior to taking office, Barack Hussein Obamas
transition team promised the incoming Administration
would create
a new level of transparency,
accountability and participation for American citizens.
Of course that was before the Fast and Furious debacle
claimed several hundred lives and exposed the perjury
of an Attorney General.
It was before the Obama Department of Energy
bestowed half a billion tax dollars on a bankrupt Solyndra
Corporation whose principle investor happened to be an
Obama campaign money-bundler.
And it was also before another Obama campaign money-
bundler used his influence to have the White House
pressure a general into changing his testimony before a
congressional committee.
So now, unable to duck, dodge and hide from the
citizen journalists who make up the blogosphere and
even fighting a losing battle against a select few
members of the Regime-owned legacy media, the
Department of Justice has decided it is time to legalize
the telling of outright lies by the government to the
American public.
A proposed revision to Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) rules would allow federal agencies to LIE TO
CITIZENS AND REPORTERS (my caps) seeking certain
records, telling them the records dont exist.
Under current FOIA rules, if a government agency
wishes to deny a request for information it must respond
to the party making the request by citing the relevant
exception which allows the denial.
But under Obamas proposed new rules for the
legalization of prevarication and subterfuge, a federal
agency may respond to the [FOIA] request as if the
excluded records did not exist
In short, Big Brother may now lie to anyone it wishes,
claiming EXISTING FOIA requested records DO NOT
EXIST! This frees the Regime from having to respond
to lawsuits filed by those nosy information seekers who
have been denied their information. After all, what
court will allow a lawsuit to go forward if it seeks
records which do not exist!
Could there be a more perfect example of the arrogance
of the Obama Regime or its contempt for the American
people? For if a lowly citizen should lie to the federal
government, it would mean jail time, fines and perhaps
confiscation of property.
