Regardless, the Final Senate Bill language will have to be stripped via a partial repeal of the 2016 NDAA into which it was stealthily snuck when the National Defense Authorization Act of 2016 was signed into Law on 12/02/2016. Here's Q's referenced drop:
"@LisaMei62 HERE WE GO: HR 5181 was stuffed into the 2016 NDAA on 12/02/16 Basically $160M was set aside to pay alt media journalists among others to spread disinformation to counter what they claim is fake news. (Aka truth) THIS IS WHY SO MANY FLIPPED ON Q!"
Now, either ironically, for convenience sake or to complete their Orwellian machinations, this is exactly how the Deep Staters in Congress removed the 1948 Smith-Mundt Act's ban on the Government's use of domestic propaganda which took effect when Hussein signed the NDAA of 2013 into Law.
Regarding the repeal of the propaganda ban even some in the Pentagon expressed concern:
An unnamed Pentagon official who was concerned about the 2012(13) law version stated: "It removes the protection for Americans. It removes oversight from the people who want to put out this information. There are no checks and balances. No one knows if the information is accurate, partially accurate, or entirely false."
Hastings, Michael (18 May 2012). "Congressmen Seek To Lift Propaganda Ban". BuzzFeed. Retrieved 5 April 2014.
So in addition to removing the prohibition on the use of domestic propaganda BY the Government, the Deep Staters decided to amplify its "narrative du jour" by now subsidizing certain entities within the private sector (Silicon Valley and smaller social media presstitutes) to falsely counter whatever remains of the truth on the Internet.
Both of these repugnant, nefarious and PRAVDA-like sections of legislation MUST be repealed. Meanwhile, anon should attempt to identify any and all recipients of this tainted federal funding presently being used to shout down and talk over those remaining lighthouses of truth on the Internet before they flicker out.
