60 Minutes - "Firing the Watchdogs"

[yellow dahlia]

I just watched 60 Minutes. It was a great segment about the firing of IG's and other watchdogs.

Here is the link. (I think you may have to tolerate commercial before the video starts.)

1. Excellent segment.

Thanks for posting.

2. It really was an impressive segment.

My observation is that CBS is not obeying in advance. They are shining a light on the administration take over.

3. Yes the surprising thing is that the segment was aired at all.

CBS is showing some courage and so are the fired officials who are speaking out.
They did an excellent job outlining how serious the situation is with independent
inspectors and watch dogs being summarily fired without cause.

7. We knew how scary it was when it was one of the first things they did.

I'm going to write to CBS and thank them for providing the stories that need to be told.

We need the free media.

I never thought I would live in a country where I would be worried about such a thing. It never stops being surreal.

12. Yes to all your points. It is chilling, yes.

It is obvious that there is some very serious and thoughtful planning behind the scenes.
It has been a very surgical strike in the correct order to destroy all the watchdogs, inspectors,
the top civilian and military brass. Someone has identified the first targets to hit to obtain control of Washington DC.

This required a great deal of insider information.
Some of the agencies Trump has destroyed were little known, but quite powerful.

There is no way in hell Trump had the knowledge of these agencies. It reminds me of J6 in some ways. The emergency buttons destroyed in Dem offices. Some offices were damaged that were in unknown basement locations. Nancy Pelosi's daughter grew up roaming the Capitol building and she said she did not know the location of some of the hidden damaged offices.

This is why it was imperative for Garland to go after the organizers and planners of J6.
I think they are also helping now with the destruction of the US govt.

Yes we have lost the first amendment to a large extent. It has been bought off or threatened into silence.

I know, we have gone through the looking glass to a strange new world.

13. Seditious conspiracy anyone?

But then again, there was aid from the outside also. I believe many of the marching orders came from Pootin...he is the one who benefits. Why is no one talking about Musk's phone calls with him. And of course there are all the phone calls between Pootin and the grifter...for which there are no read-outs. Why are we not allowed to call this treason? Isn't there some espionage in here?

I didn't know about the emergency buttons in the Dem's offices on Jan 6. Right - it was clear the insurrectionists on J6 had maps. And why weren't the members of Congress, like Loudermilk, who gave tours the day before also investigated?

15. Treason at the highest levels of government.

Committed by people on the public payroll.
And billionaires.

Yes of course, so much of this has Putin's fingerprints all over it.
The GOP aligned with Putin years ago.

Of yes, no one cares that Trump, Musk, Putin are as thick as thieves.
And have regular contact.

There have to be a boatload of laws which Trump, Musk, the GOP have violated.

Yes someone went into some of the Dem congressional offices the night before J6 and disabled
the office alarm buttons, I believe they were torn out of the wall. This contributed to
Dem MOC being terrified that day.

Yes the J6ers had maps, tours, assistance. We even know who some of the GOP MOC
are who gave these tours. A Dem congresswoman reported some of them as the tours
as I recall were at odd times and places in the building.

And we cannot forget the bombs planted at Dem headquarters the same day as J6
which for some mysterious reason the FBI could never figure out.

8. Recommended.

I wish Dellinger had appealed to scotus.

[yellow dahlia]

9. All these people of integrity getting treated so badly.

We need these people.

[scipan]

10. Yes. What's more, we may not be able to get that culture back.

As one of them said he was afraid of.

11. Bookmarked for later, thanks. n/t

14. 60 Minutes has been knocking it out of the park lately.

So much better than the rest of the media.
