OUR LYING GOVERNMENT

Instapundit--OUR LYING GOVERNMENT

Holman Jenkins: A Balloon Pops D.C.’s Myth Bubble: Federal agencies have become too comfortable using disinformation.

"...It became clear that, whether from serendipity or design, national security agencies were using UFOs to hide something they didn’t want us to see. That something, it has slowly dribbled out since last May, was Chinese surveillance in U.S. airspace. Suspected Chinese drones have been a sometimes daily presence in U.S. military training sites going back perhaps a decade or more. We learn now of multiple balloon incursions too....

  • ...The FBI used “objectively false” Russian intelligence, the Justice Department’s inspector general tells us, to justify its improper acts in the Clinton email matter.
  • It used false Steele dossier evidence to obtain a warrant on a minor Trump campaign associate. It used the same false information to stir the media’s collusion pot...
  • ...We come to the second part. As its truth-finding skills apparently atrophy, the federal government has become increasingly adept at using false information to solve problems..."

We are governed by crooks, liars, and incompetents, and the worst of them aren’t even the ones who have to stand for election.--Posted by
