H.R.5181 - Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act of 2016

Our TV News Networks, News Papers, Social Media, Schools, Colleges/Universities, Movies, TV Programing, Cable, etc. are NOW Propaganda Machines.

The Bill Legalizes Government Propaganda and Disinformation on American Citizens!

And it simultanously grants them the ability to silence you, attack you with Bots, censor you, shut-you-down-completely on the web. Etc.! (Now, they need this law to silence us for the mid-terms, because they never thought, imagined it even possible that Hillary would lose in a rigged election.)

The bill nullifies an existing law that (supposedly) protects U.S. audiences from misinformation campaigns conducted by its own government.

In other words, Americans are now being subjected to hardcore, massively manipulative and disinformation-filled propaganda that is usually reserved for foreign countries.

We, American public is the new “enemy” to brainwash and the internet will be an important battlefield. And those we elected to represent us, decided that we are now the enemy, in which brain-washing is necessary.

Yes, there has been some previous News, Media, etc filled with propaganda and disinformation.

This bill however legalized the process, making it official and out in the open.

While propaganda in the United States was always somewhat covert and disguised as something else, this bill seeks to form an actual Orwellian Ministry of Truth, where propaganda is just part of daily business.

Our government, our US congress….made us the enemy to manipulate, lie to…passed by those we elect to represent us…not to destroy us.

***Note: The tweak to the bill would essentially neutralize two previous acts—the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and Foreign Relations Authorization Act in 1987—that had been passed to protect U.S. audiences from our own government’s misinformation campaigns.

Obama Quietly Signs The "Countering Disinformation And Propaganda Act" Into Law

by Tyler Durden Mon, 12/26/2016 - 16:01

Late on Friday, with the US population embracing the upcoming holidays and oblivious of most news emerging from the administration, Obama quietly signed into law the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which authorizes $611 billion for the military in 2017.

The biggest news is what was buried deep inside the provisions of the Defense Authortization Act…

"a bill to implement the U.S.’ very own de facto Ministry of Truth had been quietly introduced in Congress.

As with any legislation attempting to dodge the public spotlight the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act of 2016 marks a further curtailment of press freedom and another avenue to stultify avenues of accurate information.

Fast forward to December 8, when the "Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act" passed in the Senate, quietly inserted inside the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Conference Report.

And now, following Friday's Obama signing of the NDAA on Friday evening, the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act is now law.

Operation Mockingbird

Operation Mockingbird was an alleged large-scale program of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that began in the early 1950s and attempted to manipulate news media for propaganda purposes. It funded student and cultural organizations and magazines as front organizations.

According to writer Deborah Davis, Operation Mockingbird recruited leading American journalists into a propaganda network and oversaw the operations of front groups. CIA support of front groups was exposed after a 1967 Ramparts magazine article reported that the National Student Association received funding from the CIA. In the 1970s, Congressional investigations and reports also revealed Agency connections with journalists and civic groups. None of these reports, however, mentions an Operation Mockingbird coordinating or supporting these activities.

A Project Mockingbird is mentioned in the CIA Family Jewels report, compiled in the mid-1970s. According to the declassified version of the report released in 2007, Project Mockingbird involved the wire-tapping of two American journalists for several months in the early 1960s.

The most extensive discussion of CIA relations with news media from these investigations is in the Church Committee's final report, published in April 1976. The report covered CIA ties with both foreign and domestic news media.

H.R.5181 - Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act of 2016

Supporters of the resolution inside the Defense Department have publicly expressed their desire to weaken the interpretation of domestic propaganda protections, laws which prevent the US State Department from gathering information necessary to develop targeted propaganda messaging and prevent them from explicitly attempting to influence opinions.

On November 30, 2016, legislators approved a measure within the National Defense Authorization Act to ask the U.S. State Department to take action against foreign propaganda through an interagency panel.

Coincidence??? In a speech to lawmakers on 8 December 2016, Hillary Clinton called attention to the issue, saying pending legislation before the U.S. Congress would "boost the government's response to foreign propaganda." She called on trendsetters in society to work together on the problem: "It's imperative that leaders in both the private sector and the public sector step up to protect our democracy, and innocent lives."
