Senate Passes Major Portman-Murphy Counter-Propaganda Bill as Part of NDAA

Portman/Senate ^ | 12/8/2016 | Rob Portman

Nope not satire and bumped from the FR news cycle too

[EBH]

I just cannot understand how they think they can do it. We rejected this behavior when we elected Trump. Is this one of the last pushes before he gets into office? We rejected the internet bill several times in the last eight years, now they pull a stunt like this? It is more than maddening.

So we'll probably have federal employees posting fake news on Twitter.

U.S. Repeals Propaganda Ban, Spreads Government-Made News to Americans July 14, 2013

That of course doesn’t leave the BBG off the hook if its content smacks of agitprop. But now that its materials are allowed to be broadcast by local radio stations and TV networks, they won’t be a complete mystery to Americans. "Previously, the legislation had the effect of clouding and hiding this stuff," the former U.S. official told The Cable. "Now we’ll have a better sense: Gee some of this stuff is really good. Or gee some of this stuff is really bad. At least we’ll know now."

Nah, it's all good. Nothing to see here...move along.

[philman_36]

BBG spokeswoman Lynne Weil insists BBG is not a propaganda outlet, and its flagship services such as VOA "present fair and accurate news."

[philman_36]

You’re so paranoid. There’s nothing to see here. Move along.

PING!!!

They’re going to fight to stop 2016 election truths from happening again.

Article and comments, esp #1 and #28 Internet censorship

see #38, #41, #70, #66, #78, #79, #83

From 79
From the article: “The bill would increase the authority, resources, and mandate of the Global Engagement Center to include state actors like Russia and China in addition to violent extremists.

Violent extremists are anyone (including American citizens) who is politically incorrect; putting out news the government would rather hide or bringing up observations of society the Left does not want discussed.

The State department is an agency with deeply seated Marxist globalist ideology and ambitions and they have put this new speech control agency in the State department.

Thanks EBH

Uniparty is alive and well :(

[Freedom56v2]

Yes, yes, and yes.

Matt Drudge was on Alex Jones earlier this year to give his listeners a message. The message was that he had gone to dinner with a Supreme Court Justice and the justice told him ALL this was coming.

It is True News ;)! Here is YouTube—surprise visit to Infowars interview by Matt Drudge

Jones has a petition for people to sign that he is taking to Trump after the inauguration.

[Freedom56v2]

They’re going to fight to stop 2016 election truths happen again. Globalist RINO Marxists and Democrat Party Marxists across the board are on board.

Yup, while the GOP-elite pretend to embrace Trump, they are trying their best to ensure We the People never have a candidate win like Trump did.

I looked into the Mississippi burning of Chris McDaniel for many months but never quite discovered the money behind his slander. You are right! Portman was one of the cabal criminals behind the slandering. It’s here among other sites.

All Mississippi GOP Suspicions Confirmed – McConnell, Cornyn, Portman, Corker and Blunt Paid For Racist Attack Ads In Mississippi Against Chris McDaniel….
July 16, 2014 by sundance

(Via RedState Erick Erickson) I can confirm that the attack ads in Mississippi run by “All Citizens for Mississippi” were funded by Senate Republicans, including Senators Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Rob Portman, Bob Corker, and Roy Blunt. It appears our Senate Republican leaders are willing to risk losing a Senate majority so long as they can get their own re-elected. Yes folks, it is true. I can confirm what we all suspected.

The advertisements attacked Mississippi State Senator Chris McDaniel and painted conservative Republicans and tea party activists as racists. According to documents filed with the Federal Elections Commission, All Citizens for Mississippi received funding from a Haley Barbour backed group called Mississippi Conservatives.

Mississippi Conservatives, in turn, was funded in part by Sally Bradshaw of the RNC’s Growth and Opportunity Project, former RNC Chairman and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, the United States Chamber of Commerce, and the political action committees created for Senators Mitch McConnell ($50,000), John Cornyn ($50,000), Rob Portman ($25,000), Bob Corker ($25,000), and Roy Blunt ($5,000).

Interestingly, [after Mitt Romney’s election defeat] Sally Bradshaw and Henry Barbour (Haley Barbour’s nephew) worked on the autopsy of the 2012 GOP loss.

This is from 2012 and it puts all the pieces in place.

In the 2012 NDAA it authorized the use of propaganda on the American people by our own government, http://www.businessinsider.com/ndaa-legalizes-propaganda-2012-5

Here we are now with the renewing NDAA that effectively will limit our ability to seek out and find alternatives to the government propaganda. Obama will sign this and we will no longer be an informed public at all. We have complained the last few years about media bias, but somehow we never connected the dots to the 2012 NDAA.

[DouglasKC]

They may just as well say we’re sick of freedom of speech. This won’t, or at least shouldn’t, get past the courts.

[EBH]

It is in the NDAA sitting on Obama’s desk to be signed. It will never see the courts.

For some reason there is this other ‘black hole’ that no one seems to care about either.

HR 4310 passes in NDAA authorizing propaganda on American Citizens http://www.opsecnews.com/hr-4310-passes-in-ndaa-authorizing-propaganda-on-american-citizens/

4 years ago this was inserted into the NDAA and it is being used right now regarding Russian hackers and fake news! This propaganda bill now closes the loop on information available to the public from anything but government approved sources.

It is essentially over unless Trump rewrites the NDAA and that my FRiend won’t pass the House or Senate.

[Mr. M.J.B.]

Is it too cynical to interpret this as the establishment of a globalist Ministry of Propaganda?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No.

Truth will continue to come from the CIA Domestic Operations Bureau Media Desk and its outlets - the Enemedia: WAPO, MSNBC, NPR, CNN, etc.

[Mr. M.J.B.]

They’re going to fight to stop 2016 election truths from happening again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Correct.
