Cognitive dissidents
Barack Obama's regulatory czar Cass Sunstein argues for confronting conspiracy theorists through the "cognitive infiltration" of conspiracy groups. This is the semiotic equivalent of spending your way out of debt.
Oh, and anti-global warming thought should be banned.
In a lengthy academic paper, President Obama's regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein, argued the U.S. government should ban "conspiracy theorizing."
Among the beliefs Sunstein would ban is advocating that the theory of global warming is a deliberate fraud.
Sunstein also recommended the government send agents to infiltrate "extremists who supply conspiracy theories" to disrupt the efforts of the "extremists" to propagate their theories.

Philip K. Dick is spinning in his grave.

That guy, Sunstein.
Heard he had a hard time on debate team.
Sounds like he's figured out how to overcome his inability to manufacture a cogent argument.
