In this episode, the Common Core Diva, Lynne Taylor, joins me as we take a look at The Presidential Records Act and how President Donald Trump is claiming it is unconstitutional, which seems to be a nod to expunging criminal behavior in the documents that are to be kept in archives. We’ll also briefly look at civics.

11) Access to ALL information is a key to the Sustainable Development Goals, especially in the name of ‘governance’. How will public records play into this and where’s the ‘line’ to define which government official is ‘exempt’?

*******************************
Closing thoughts:

As we see the battle lines continue to erode our constitutionally protected (or what should be) inherent rights, policing them (rights to travel, not be tracked, etc), we must understand that things like passports are deemed as a ‘right to travel’; however, the justification? “National security”. As such, the use of fundamental rights is inserted.
Fundamental rights are government assigned and change be changed OR removed altogether. Being tracked? That’s also under ‘national security’. So, warrantless searches and AI enabled transportation are tools to be used against us.
