Was just thinking the same. There’s a huge proliferation of non-representative quangos in western “democracies” costing the taxpayer billions.

Same pledge from Obama. Ironic how their administrations were among the most secretive about what they were really doing, bypassing Congress and the elected representatives of the people to shove their diktats in our faces; using lawfare, judges, bureaucracy, and executive orders instead of democratic processes. Whenever I hear a Democrat pledge transparency I roll my eyes and think, “here we go again”.

Actually, Rud, I think Joseph is right on this – those regulations are being used as a blanket, default setting so they don’t have to tell the little people anything. It should be the other way around – the agency should have to request the privilege and justify the reasons, but not the actual content. It should be treated as the exception, not the rule.

As far as I remember, the UK govt. were still inviting Greenpiss into the net zero regulation process. I think, anyway.

Didn’t the FBI Investigator in the Ghislaine Maxwell case vow to prosecute every guilty party in her/Epstein’s contact book. Until they found out whose names were in it then everybody get’s a free pass and referred to, suddenly, as a ‘witness’. Of course there’s a two-tier justice system, or rather a three-tier system where the in the 3rd tier it’s perfectly fine to make up stuff about someone you really don’t like, prosecute them for it and use the law as a club, not a shield.

Repect your POV but mildly disagree. The idea is that the President/Agency cannot get a full spectrum of counsel if everything is exposed to the public.
There are other administrative law guardrails in place for that which should be made public. For example, at the federal level the Administrative Procedures Act of 1946, used to challenge a number of seemingly arbitrary EPA decisions that inadequately responded to mandated public comments.

too many privileges in government- we pay them and we should know everything they say and write, IMHO- other than military

Without getting too technical, it is the government agency equivalent of presidential executive privilege. The idea is that internal ‘strategic advice and options’ are privileged—nobody else gets to see them.

4) how much was your kickback

and deserving of NOT being unlawful, especially when one side is OUR government

Speaking of calling out climate shenanigans, this observation could equally apply to UK, Australia and other sideline-players in the missions angst idiocy –

Ummm . . . with careful consideration of the difference between an action being unlawful as compared to it being unethical.
