I just saw something at RedState.com. Here’s the headline: “If you oppose Obamacare, even in casual conversation, the White House wants to know about it.” Jeff Emanuel put this up 1:45 this afternoon. “If you see anybody publicly opposing President Obama’s plan to implement a government-centric overhaul of the health care system, the White House wants you to report that person (or persons) ASAP. From the White House website: There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to Flag@WhiteHouse.gov.”

Now read this…..

“If I encounter citizens who are being overcome by enemy propaganda, I confront them directly and make clear to them the enormous danger they face, appealing to their sense of honor.

Anyone who becomes a tool of enemy propaganda and contributes to weakening our spiritual strength places himself outside the people’s community. He should not be surprised if he is treated as an enemy of the people and of the state. If all my warnings are in vain, I do my duty and turn him over to the authorities.

I actively oppose enemy propaganda whenever I encounter it. I also do this with foreigners and friends abroad whom I talk with or write to. If I have German propaganda material at hand, I include it in my letters.

If I find or am given enemy propaganda material, I quickly write in large, clear letters “Enemy propaganda” on it and turn it over immediately to the nearest police station.

I do not show such enemy propaganda material to strangers.

I obey all regulations against listening to foreign radio stations, not only because there are severe penalties but also because I view it as an obvious patriotic duty.

I know that enemy propaganda material is an enemy method of warfare.” (1)

The first paragraph is from our White House here in the United States of America.

The second is from 1940 when the Nazis put out a booklet called “What Do I Do in an Emergency?” Of course the severe penalty is execution by firing squad back in the ’40s.

Do you see any parallels between the two?

Now, the quote from the White House states, “Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to Flag@WhiteHouse.gov.”

For what reason and by what constitutional authority does the White House need to track free speech? I guess if you ‘catch’ someone discussing and disagreeing with Health Care, you should be reported. There are other examples such as the Stasi which was established in 1950 and was the Secret Police of East Germany.

“These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to Flag@WhiteHouse.gov.”

This is actually an official government statement and e-mail address, I personally cannot believe this.

What has happened to debate and discussion of the pros and cons of an idea?
