Apparently, the United States has been a socialist/communist country since its founding. Do you want to apply this to executive privilege? Does the President of the United States need to release all communication to all the people whenever asked? Or are there things that not everyone has the right to know?Grace wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2023 1:45 pmThe Capitol is NOT a private place and not owned by private people. It is often referred to as “the people's house” and is owned by the public. It was built and paid for with public funds collected from tax payers. It is maintained by the public’s taxes. The congress and others that use the building are working for the public.
Because the activities on Jan 6 were conducted on the public’s land, in the public’s building, against public workers who are paid by the public's taxes, etc, all the surveillance for that day should be released to the public and not just a few clips. Even the cameras that took the footage are owned by the public. It is very revealing and interesting that the Jan 6, committee is so against releasing what should be public information, to the public. It is about controlling their narrative/propaganda and the only way that can be done is hide the facts and information from the very people who pay their salaries, who pay for the facility they use, who pay their cushy perks, etc.
As far as I know we still live in a free Republic, not some socialistic/communist country that wants to control the people by only releasing the information that the government wants the people to know.
Fort Knox is a public place paid for by public funds. Does the public have the right to see all video footage taken there? Do you think there might be a downside?
When I enter the United States from somewhere else, I have seen signs saying I am not allowed to take pictures or videos with my cellphone for security reasons. That's all paid for with taxes. Are they violating my rights when they do that?
Mike Johnson says that some of the videos cannot be released for security reasons. Is that outrageous? He also says that they will edit some of the footage, blurring out faces, etc. Is that outrageous?
Do you think that the public has the right to all communication between police officers in all jurisdictions at all times?
