Just when you thought the federal government couldn’t get any more intrusive into your lives, Obama goes ahead and adds something else.

Obama signed an Executive Order this week that allows the federal government to use ‘Behavioral Insights’ on Americans. Not just in specific areas but across the board.

From The Daily Caller:

President Obama announced a new executive order on Tuesday which authorizes federal agencies to conduct behavioral experiments on U.S. citizens in order to advance government initiatives. TRENDING: Chicago-Area Police Chief Fired After Posting Anti-Looting Meme on Facebook

The new program is the end result of a policy proposal the White House floated in 2013 entitled “Strengthening Federal Capacity for Behavioral Insights.” The initiative draws on research from University of Chicago economist Richard Thaler and Harvard law school professor Cass Sunstein, who was also dubbed Obama’s regulatory czar. The two behavioral scientists argued in their 2008 book “Nudge” that government policies can be designed in a way that “nudges” citizens towards certain behaviors and choices. The desired choices almost always advance the goals of the federal government, though they are often couched as ways to cut overall program spending.

It’s not already bad enough there is a ton of propaganda from the Obama Administration but they are going to push that even further and you, the taxpayer, are going to pay for it.

If you recall, Sunstein was the guy who wanted the government to have people pretend they were regular Americans by infiltrating social media groups etc.

From Salon in 2010:

Sunstein advocates that the Government’s stealth infiltration should be accomplished by sending covert agents into “chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups.” He also proposes that the Government make secret payments to so-called “independent” credible voices to bolster the Government’s messaging (on the ground that those who don’t believe government sources will be more inclined to listen to those who appear independent while secretly acting on behalf of the Government).

This program would target those advocating false “conspiracy theories,” which they define to mean: “an attempt to explain an event or practice by reference to the machinations of powerful people, who have also managed to conceal their role.”

Many have already believed this was happening across social media. Obama’s Executive Order just ‘legitimizes’ his propaganda pushing and has taxpayers paying for it.

Is there no end to what the left will do in order to push their message onto unknowing people?

Of course there isn’t.
