Cass Sunstein

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.

In a 2008 Harvard law paper, "Conspiracy Theories," Sunstein and co-author Adrian Vermeule, a Harvard law professor, ask, "What can government do about conspiracy theories?"

"We can readily imagine a series of possible responses. (1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing. (2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories."
In the 30-page paper – obtained and reviewed by WND – Sunstein argues the best government response to "conspiracy theories" is "cognitive infiltration of extremist groups."

[...]

Some "conspiracy theories" recommended for ban by Sunstein include:

• "The theory of global warming is a deliberate fraud."
• "The view that the Central Intelligence Agency was responsible for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy."
• "The 1996 crash of TWA flight 800 was caused by a U.S. military missile."
• "The Trilateral Commission is responsible for important movements of the international economy."
• "That Martin Luther King Jr. was killed by federal agents."
• "The moon landing was staged and never actually occurred."
