Midknight Review -- new and revised: Did Obama's State Department threaten college students for discussing the Wikileaks document dump? You read. You decide.

Discussing the WikiLeaks document dumps on Facebook or Twitter could endanger your job prospects, a State Department official warned students at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs this week. That is the threat coming down from the Administration, this week.

An email from SIPA's Office of Career Services published on Tuesday cautioned students that their complicity in internet discussion forums might cost them job opportunities with the Federal goverment.

"[Columbia University reps] recommend that you DO NOT post links to these documents nor make comments on social media sites such as Facebook or through Twitter," the Office of Career Services at the University advised students. "Engaging in these activities would call into question your ability to deal with confidential information, which is part of most positions with the federal government."

The memo's source was almost immediately called into question. State Department personnel informed the media that "If an employee of the State Department sent such an email, it does not represent a formal policy position."

No, of course not. And who would think that the Obama State Department is anything but open and pro-active when it comes to transparency and freedom of speech.

This coming from one of the most secretive Administrations in modern American history. Heck, Obama has never released the donors to his 2008 campaign.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
