Move Along, Citizen, Nothing to Read Here

John Lopez, in a post at No Treason titled ‘“You Don’t Have To Be A Weatherman...”,’ notes an officious sounding government arm named the Office of Foreign Assets Control which is protecting us poor souls of limited knowledge and understanding from, gasp, foreign written words.  Yes, folks, words are dangerous, especially when they whack you over your head with clarity.

From the article linked by John Lopez.

"In an apparent reversal of decades of U.S. practice, recent federal Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations bar American companies from publishing works by dissident writers in countries under sanction unless they first obtain U.S. government approval."
