Obama’s ‘Internal Threat’ program: ‘We’re on the road to East Germany’

Cenk Uygur talks to TYT panelists Ana Kasparian, “TYT University” host John Iadarola, and comedian Jimmy Dore about the government’s “Internal Threat” program, which aims to discourage leaks by equating whistleblowing with treason.

The program also encourages government employees to rat out co-workers who may be potential whistleblowers based on risk indicators, such as martial or financial distress.

”In East Germany, once they found the paperwork after the wall came down, it turned out that one out of every ten people…was a government collaborator,” Cenk says. “We’re on the road to East Germany.”
