Something about this makes me very concerned.

During this past year how many times have we all needed to go to the foreign press to get the real truth?

Does this mean they are preparing to restrict the internet access?

Is this all part of the 'fake' news campaign?

I know they will tell us this is to stop propaganda and recruiting of terrorists, but they also throw in Russia and China? So they are getting ready to control exactly what information Americans have access to on a much bigger scale. Granted I haven't read this bill, but even the government approved description is disturbing.

Of course its never what the words in a bill say, but how they are implemented ... and who is chosen to do the implementing.

Is it too cynical to interpret this as the establishment of a globalist Ministry of Propaganda?

Do these a$$hats not get it?

The government deciding what is truth and what is propaganda. What could go wrong?

“Congress has taken a big step in fighting back against fake news and propaganda from countries like Russia.”

Nevertrumper Portman sounds like a gullible moron still spewing propaganda from the Hillary campaign.

This was passed ‘bipartisan’ and man can I see the democrats trying to abuse this. So some ‘bipartisan’ committee is going to be picking and choosing what information sources we have access to.

Domestic propaganda is my main concern.

Our government doesn’t want our opinions influenced by propaganda... unless it’s theirs of course.

Portman/Murphy Bill Promotes Coordinated Strategy to Defend America, Allies Against Propaganda and Disinformation from Russia, China & Others

Neither Chris Murphy (Communist - CT) nor the State Department have any interest whatsoever in defending America. So there must be some agenda in play here.

Is Portman completely clueless in that regard, or is he "one of them"?

I’ve read this law before when I was in high school in 1970. It was the preface to the book 1984 by George Orwell.

The Ministry of Truth will protect us from the False Doctrines of Foreign Infiltrators. Pleeze protect us, government. We are so weak and silly.

That's exactly what this is.

And he wants to fight back with “counter propaganda” So we'll probably have federal employees posting fake news on Twitter.

They could have a bigger impact by simply defunding NPR.

Yeah, this stinks.

As Freepers have posted on other threads of a similar subject, there are many instances of US propaganda and lies perpetrated on the American people. For example, Benghazi was caused by a video.

Portman has revealed himself to be a snake. He along with McConnell was instrumental in funding the fraud in Mississippi in stealing the election for US Senator away from Chris McDaniel.

President aTrump should turn this nonsense on its head as he himself and the Trump movement were daily recipients of US propaganda from both the US government and its state controlled national news media.

This is a lame duck Congress. Why are they not waiting for Trump to get into office? Can’t be good.
