Well it was only a matter of time before the sins of governments catches up with them. And hasn't the last 24 hours been full of it. Both sides of the Atlantic have seen people exposed for lying. In Britain it wasn't too bad but in the USA it's paving the way to impeachment I think.
The thing is no matter how sneaky or devious these people are, we are in a new world filled with technology. Nothing is truly private and everything is recorded some where. Whether it be what you bought 3 weeks ago in the supermarket, or who you sat with at gala dinner, some one some where will have the filmed and digital evidence. So the days of old school sneaky are long gone. You have to be a techno wizard to delete all the photo evidence of just going to shops nowadays. Whilst I am not entirely comfortable with this living version of or wells 1984, it has sure got rid of the biggest threat to American security since water gate.
What I didn't see coming was the pathetic whine from the supposed great leader, saying he was exposed by false news using illegally obtained documents. Er, OK if it is supposedly false news, surely there wouldn't be any documentation to obtain legally or illegally? And as for the legality of it all, maybe oh wonderful leader should worry less about what the press are doing and more about the fact he has broken the Constitution by discussing treaties with other not so friendly countries, before being sworn into power.
If all that wasn't bad enough there is small matter of only allowing 1 press organisation to cover any white house business, including allowing the owner sit through meetings with other countries Representatives. Mmm, that's not allowing the press the freedom they are legally entitled to, actually that sounds more like state run media only. And England is no better they are also allowing the same media house to do the same here. Which begs the question who is dictating to whom. Because I am now asking the question how much of this media control is being fed back to our lesser friends. It all stinks of a bigger corruption than we originally thought possible.
I am just watching for the moment, but if certain people keep stomping their feet saying it's false news etc, it will become a case of thousands protest too much. I actually fell about laughing at that little rant. I know I shouldn't as the whole thing is potentially very dangerous, but how can I take these people seriously when they can't get their own way they sulk.
By comparison we Brits are fighting the fact the government has completely disregarded us the voting public, the right to stop a certain state visit. Which is actually one of our civil rights. I notice there have been no tantrums though, or claiming falsehood. Nope we have dug our heels in and are going to a higher power,our monarch. Basically we are going to make it as difficult as possible for our government to carry on down this path. This really shows the difference in mentality between people who belief in true democracy and people who think their country is too stupid to make a decision. Both sides of the ocean the people's pester power is beginning to eat into the normal reserves of those in power, and make them throw all their toys out the pram. Guess we better keep ducking and diving because it is obvious they aren't going to stop their tantrum quietly. But they better to remember when they run out of toys we won't be giving them back, they will be on a permanent time out once they have done. Democracy will prevail but for now we have to ride this little hiccup and learn to laugh at the tantrums.
