The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has
quietly become a propaganda ministry of the Obama administration …
spoon-feeding information to reporters and Congressional visitors to the camps
housing this new wave of illegal immigrants. But what is depressingly
outrageous is a series of restriction it imposes on them before they are
allowed into these facilities, viz:
- No
recording devices will be allowed
- No questions will be allowed during the
tour
- No interacting with staff and children at
the shelter
- We ask that your questions be provided
via email or phone after the tour to Kenneth Wolfe
- HHS ACF public affairs will provide
answers to your follow up questions as quickly as possible- We will provide photos of the facility
after the tour
- There will be no on-site interviews by HHS
staff before or after the tour, all inquiries go to Kenneth Wolfe
These constraints are clearly in violation of the first
amendment of our Constitution and the fact that most reporters and Congressmen
have abided by them is discouraging beyond expression. Yes,
Representative Jim Bridenstine (R., Okla.)
has objected but, in my opinion, not strenuously enough. Just the fact that
these visits need to be scheduled days in advance indicates the degree to which
HHS is trying to stifle the information flow out of these camps … see: National Review Story. How about a little civil disobedience … anyone?
Two weeks ago I asked a series of questions about this situation that I
thought needed answers … see:
Death Trains. Has anyone seen even a semblance of reportage on these issues in the main
stream media? This is the real tragedy that is occurring surrounding this immigration
influx ... along with the fact that there is anyone defending this BS. Here is the text of the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights in our Constitution:
Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
In their naivete the framers of the Constitution neglected
to include the Executive branch in this restrictive covenant … because of their
dewy-eyed assumption that this branch was only to administer (faithfully) the
laws passed by Congress. In six short years we have seen this assumption
knocked into a cocked hat.
I greatly fear that we are approaching a Constitutional
crisis … if not already there.
