During the holiday, Obama signed a provision HR 5181 that would determine propaganda of news sources. This provision can consider you a propagandist. It is a provision of the NDAA that was signed by President Obama over the holiday, called “the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act” to counter “foreign disinformation and manipulation,” which they believe threaten the world’s “security and stability.”
This would establish a “Center for Information Analysis and Response,” which will pinpoint sources of disinformation, analyze data, and ‘develop and disseminate’ “fact-based narratives” to counter effrontery propaganda.
In other words, any sources of information countering the OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT NARRATIVE will be in violation of propaganda. Only the cooperative mainstream media is allowed to share the correct information. Thereby labeling alternative sources “fake news.”
This is backward psychology. Isn’t it CNN and the Washington Post most accused of “fake news?” Caught staging situations, making up scenarios and facts, CNN do not have a place to call anything “fake news.”
H.R. 5181 would task the Secretary of State with coordinating the Secretary of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Broadcasting Board of Governors to “establish a Center for Information Analysis and Response,” which will pinpoint sources of disinformation, analyze data, and ‘develop and disseminate’ “fact-based narratives” to counter effrontery propaganda.
But what this will mean is that the government can determine that a source is false and can further investigate. This has been further sparked by the accusation of alternative media as “fake news.”
This leads to a defining of authorized information, which happens to meet the criteria of the official narrative of mainstream media, making anything contrary to it labeled “propaganda.” Means that government has more informational control as informational gatekeepers, along with their authorized agents, and crack down on that which opposes the official narrative. And anyone using that info violates standards that allow the created U.S. Ministry of Truth to label it “foreign propaganda.” In other words, the government will now be the arbiter of truth, backed by the force of the law.
This is reversing the culprit and definition of propaganda. It would be government that is the propagandists under these terms and not those who investigate and inform beyond the control of the Establishment.
