...December 8, when the "Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act" passed in the Senate, quietly inserted inside the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). And now, following Friday's Obama signing of the NDAA, the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act is now law.
while founding fathers were all members and cronies of wickedly odd fraternities incl the hellfire club, sons of liberty, skull bones, freemasons, our slippery sloping norm today of porn and lewd language/behavior, may not have been the primary intended freedoms they aimed to protect in the bill of rights, it was ostensibly to guarantee diversity of political and religious thought openly in public places like colleges, university and the public square, without risk of physical harm or other forms of injury incl. livelihood, censorship.
then again, occultists are experts at backward-masking encoding where what they mean is the opposite of what they say, so i am inclined to believe things could well be going in exactly the direction/manner as originally intended by the orders of the masters, the controllers.
proving the occult/hollywood media deep state was instrumental in pushing enough obama votes into the trump camp to seat the red lodge while fully in the tank bent on promoting the blue lodge and nanny-state culture attacking the red lodge with sensationalist rhetoric/accusations/drama, hollywood media via coverage focus, talking points, experts, fake polls and culture-shaping, in parallel to education/textbooks, the swamp/occult can easily/regularly swing any election one way or the other, anywhere worldwide as is done in totalitarian regimes.
the deep state media complex, founded/run by occultists, control the swing of the pendulum in any direction they choose, they can use all channels to clearly advocate/promote blue lodgism (and green socialism) as their default worldview and by over-doing it ex. vastly inflating favorable polls, pitching softball questions of one side but grilling the other with gotcha journalism, slanting the coverage focus time, the bias is so obvious they lose centrist kennedy/reagan democrats and key obama republicans who see it and do swing their next vote the other way to try their best to slow down the frontal assault on our constitutional freedoms.

The 2017 NDAA, signed by President Barack Obama, includes the ominous "Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act," introduced by Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), that establishes an anti-propaganda agency.

Obama Establishes Propaganda Agency Under Guise of Fighting 'Fake News
On Friday evening, Obama quietly signed the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law. The military budget includes a controversial provision added by Republican Senator Rob Portman of Ohio, called the "Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act." The act establishes an anti-propaganda center, which many have noted frighteningly resembles George Orwell's "Ministry of Truth," from his seminal novel 1984.
— Michael Salamone (@MichaelSalamone) December 24, 2016
The "Global Engagement Center" established under the new NDAA will work under the State Department and coordinate efforts to "recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining United States national security interests." The head of the new center will be chosen by the President, indicating that Donald Trump will likely make the selection after he takes office.
The law also grants non-government agencies the right to help "collect and store examples in print, online, and social media, disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda" directed at the US and its allies, as well as "counter efforts by foreign entities to use disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda to influence the policies and social and political stability" of the US and allied nations, Common Dreams reports.
The law comes amid politicians and mainstream media outlets claiming that "fake news" and "Russian interference" are responsible for the historic election loss of Hillary Clinton. Critics of the bill warn that this is part of an active effort underway to derails press freedom for outlets critical of US policy.
"Could it be that the news media is still trying to distract us from their own poor performance? After all, if inaccuracy makes a thing 'fake,' then all the pundits' and pollsters' pre-election day predictions were pretty bad offenders," Jordan Shapiro noted in an article for Forbes titled, "The Fake News Scare Is, Itself, Fake News."
The German government is developing a similar agency, ahead of parliamentary elections next year. The effort will be led by the Federal Press Office, run by a spokesman for Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Media Silent as Obama Signs 'US Ministry of Truth' Law to Fund Propaganda Aimed at Americans
Washington, D.C. – Last week, with Americans busy preparing for the holidays and mostly oblivious to the happenings within the halls of power, President Obama quietly signed 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law, which authorizes $611 billion in military spending for 2017.
In a statement, Obama said that:
Today, I have signed into law S. 2943, the "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017." This Act authorizes fiscal year 2017 appropriations principally for the Department of Defense and for Department of Energy national security programs, provides vital benefits for military personnel and their families, and includes authorities to facilitate ongoing operations around the globe. It continues many critical authorizations necessary to ensure that we are able to sustain our momentum in countering the threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and to reassure our European allies, as well as many new authorizations that, among other things, provide the Departments of Defense and Energy more flexibility in countering cyber-attacks and our adversaries' use of unmanned aerial vehicles."
And while the passage of the NDAA is an annual event that is not surprising in itself, some of the provisions often hidden within the defense-spending bill can be – such as the provision providing for indefinite detention of American citizens without trial or charge, which was included in the 2012 NDAA.
This year was no exception.
This year's most insidious NDAA provision, called the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act of 2016, essentially creates a de facto U.S. Ministry of Truth. The corporate mainstream media, aside from cursory reporting on the passage of the defense-spending bill, has generally failed to report on the implications resulting from the included provisions as to keep Americans in the dark about the Information War being waged on them by their own government.
According to a report by Zero Hedge:
As we reported in early June, "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. Introduced by Congressmen Adam Kinzinger and Ted Lieu, H.R. 5181 seeks a "whole-government approach without the bureaucratic restrictions" to counter "foreign disinformation and manipulation," which they believe threaten the world's "security and stability."
Also called the Countering Information Warfare Act of 2016 (S. 2692), when introduced in March by Sen. Rob Portman, the legislation represents a dramatic return to Cold War-era government propaganda battle.
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 — in true dystopic manner — 'develop and disseminate' "fact-based narratives" to counter effrontery propaganda.
Interestingly, this reveals that before the discredited mainstream media began regularly droning about "fake news/Russian propaganda", as a means of gaining more informational control and regaining their positions as informational gatekeepers – which has been essentially destroyed with the advent of social media – the U.S. government was already strategizing a legally underpinned crackdown on any news that dissents from the 'official' government line as being "fake news."
Thus, with discredited media organizations like CNN and the Washington Post working to propagandize and indoctrinate the American public into believing that dissent equates to "Russian Propaganda" or "fake news," the stage is set for the government to crack down on any news outlets that don't stick to the standards of the newly created U.S. Ministry of Truth as being labeled "foreign propaganda." [the gov has deputized the 'fake news' as arms of deep state and pays them to hunt down and shutdown all non-compliant sources as 'fake news' and to produce narrative-compliant counter-propaganda aka the deep state media complex rules.]
In other words, the government will now be the arbiter of truth, backed by the force of the law. And while the virtual whole of mainstream media has refused to cover this nefarious provision, one courageous mainstream journalist, Ben Swann, is working to expose the truth – watch below.

We are faced by a shocking fact these days: the profession of journalism, and I speak of mainstream media journalism, has descended into truly toxic levels of printed and broadcast disinformation. One can now virtually count on the fact that what is being said on any topic of political significance, will be a carefully scripted trotting-out of government and corporate propaganda.
That is not journalism. That is what George Orwell called 'Newspeak'.
It is a dangerous game which these news hacks are playing. They are witnessing one event and describing it as quite another event. Let me amplify this by looking at the stories emanating out of the Middle East.
It must be obvious to most of us by now that Russia, via Putin, is being held responsible for pretty much everything which is no longer working well for Western engineered neoliberal/neocon globalism. In fact, the stream of accusations against Putin's Russia have descended into near or actual farce, due mainly to the fact that they are not backed by any factual evidence. We are all simply supposed to 'know' that Mr Evil is at it again and that the West must ready itself to take action against his 'tyrannical activities'.
And here's how they do it……
Clamping down on viral fake news, Facebook partners with sites like Snopes and adds new user reporting. A new system funnels fake news reports to fact-checkers from Snopes, PolitiFact, FactCheck.org, ABC, and AP.
Facebook screen image highlights the role the social media giant plays for the Deep State
Excerpt from article above:
Once a story has been flagged as fake, the most complex element of the new strategy begins. A Facebook spokesperson walked me through how the fact-checking process will work. Facebook is working with, to start, a handful of third-party, U.S.-based fact-checking organizations: ABC News, Snopes, PolitiFact, FactCheck.org, and AP. (The sites are part of Poynter's International Fact Checking Network and have agreed to a "fact-checkers' code of principles.")
Because the group of third-party fact-checkers is small at launch, and as part of its effort to focus on the highest-impact "worst of the worst," Facebook is doing some sorting before the reported stories go to the fact-checkers. Its algorithm will look at whether a large number of people are reporting a particular article, whether or not the article is going viral, and whether the article has a high rate of shares. Facebook has also already had a system in place, for about a year, that uses signals around content (such as how people are responding to it in comments) to determine whether that content is a hoax.
The end result is tailored to Deep State needs via the Facebook process: 
And who gets to do all this 'fact' checking for you? The FreeThought Project has the scoop on Snopes……
Snopes, the Supposed Arbiter of 'Fake News' — Accused of 'Defrauding Own Site to Pay for Prostitutes
Excerpt:
Facebook's choice to hire Snopes to arbitrate which news items will be allowed to stand and which should receive the Scarlet-Letter label 'disputed' already brought outrage — the site is notoriously left-leaning — but an exclusive report from the Daily Mail on alleged shady dealings should turn Mark Zuckerberg's cheeks a deep shade of red.
David and Barbara Mikkelson, ex-spouses and founders of Snopes, have been hurling accusations allegations at one another in an ongoing bitter legal dispute following their divorce — and many of the claims don't exactly give the company an air of professionalism.
Barbara, in court filings, accuses David of "raiding" Snopes' bank account "for his personal use and attorney fees" and embezzling "$98,000 from our company over the course of four years, which were monies he expended upon himself and the prostitutes he hired …"
….Since the acrimonious divorce, David hired Elyssa Young — better known as Erin O'Bryn, a longtime escort and porn star, and now his wife — as administrative assistant at Snopes. According to the Daily Mail, Young's escort profiles on professional sites and social media are still active, though it's unclear whether she still works in that field.
This part interested me because this person writes so much for Snopes. Is it true? Don't know.
Young isn't the only eyebrow-raising Snopes employee — Kim LaCapria, the company's lead 'fact-checker,' boasts openly of being a dominatrix known as "Vice Vixen," and wrote on her personal blog she "played scrabble [sic], smoked pot, and posted to Snopes. That's what I did on my day 'on' too."
The irony of fake news being decided by Snopes is so ridiculous that even the Daily Mail UK saw fit to point it out…..
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4042194/Facebook-fact-checker-arbitrate-fake-news-accused-defrauding-website-pay-prostitutes-staff-includes-escort-porn-star-Vice-Vixen-domme.html
But the website's own troubles and the intriguing choice of who carries out its 'fact checks' are revealed by DailyMail.com, as one of its main contributors is disclosed to be a former sex-blogger who called herself 'Vice Vixen'.
Snopes.com will benefit from Facebook's decision to allow users to report items in their newsfeed which they believe to be 'fake'.
It is asking a number of organizations to arbitrate on items which are reported or which Facebook staff think may not be genuine, and decide whether they should be marked as 'disputed'.
How did this all come about? Fair.org decided to investigate the threat to powerful Washington Deep State information tools like the flagship "Washington Post" that sites that have been deemed 'fake news' are exposing…..
WaPo Spreading Own Falsehoods Shows Real Power of Fake News
By Adam Johnson
WaPo: Russian operation hacked a Vermont utility, showing risk to U.S. electrical grid security, officials say. Washington Post story (12/31/16) with revised headline and a never-mind editor's note. Is this "fake news"? The putative scourge of "fake news" has been one of the most pervasive post-election media narratives. The general thrust goes like this: A torrent of fake news swept the internet, damaging Hillary Clinton and possibly leading to a Donald Trump victory.
A primary problem with this convenient-to-some narrative is that "fake news" has yet to be clearly defined by anyone. Vaguely conceptualized as misleading or outright fabricated stories, it can mean anything—as FAIR has noted previously (12/1/16)—from outlets that align with "Russian viewpoints" to foreign spam.

Additional Fair article explains how the whole 'fake' news meme was pushed out by dubious outfit PropOrNot in collaboration with the flag ship of the corrupt Deep State, the Washington Post….
Why Are Media Outlets Still Citing Discredited 'Fake News' Blacklist?
Excerpt:
The Washington Post (11/24/16) last week published a front-page blockbuster that quickly went viral: Russia-promoted "fake news" had infiltrated the newsfeeds of 213 million Americans during the election, muddying the waters in a disinformation scheme to benefit Donald Trump. Craig Timberg's story was based on a "report" from an anonymous group (or simply a person, it's unclear) calling itself PropOrNot that blacklisted over 200 websites as agents or assets of the Russian state.
The obvious implication was that an elaborate Russian psyop had fooled the public into voting for Trump based on a torrent of misleading and false information posing as news. Everyone from Bloomberg's Sahil Kupar to CNN's to Robert Reich to Anne Navarro to MSNBC's Joy Ann Reid tweeted out the story in breathless tones. Center for American Progress and Clinton advocate Neera Tanden even did her best Ron Paul YouTube commenter impression, exclaiming, "Wake up people."
But the story didn't stand up to the most basic scrutiny. Follow-up reporting cast major doubt on the Washington Post's core claims and underlying logic, the two primary complaints being 1) the "research group" responsible for the meat of the story, PropOrNot, is an anonymous group of partisans (if more than one person is involved) who tweet like high schoolers, and 2) the list of supposed Russian media assets, because its criteria for Russian "fake news" encompasses "useful idiots," includes entirely well-within-the-mainstream progressive and libertarian websites such as Truth-Out, Consortium News, TruthDig and Antiwar.com (several of whom are now considering lawsuits against PropOrNot for libel).
PropOrNot says their criteria for "Russian propaganda" is "behavioral" and "motivation-agnostic," so even those who publish views that simply coincide with the Russian government's, regardless of intent or actual links to Russia, are per se Kremlin assets—an absurd metric that casts a net so wide as to render the concept meaningless. Glenn Greenwald and Ben Norton of The Intercept (11/26/16) called PropOrNot "amateur peddlers of primitive, shallow propagandistic clichés" who were "engaging in extremely dubious McCarthyite tactics about a wide range of critics and dissenters." Fortune magazine's Matthew Ingram (11/25/16) insisted the report had the "beginnings of a conspiracy theory, rather than a scientific analysis," while AlterNet's Max Blumenthal (11/26/16) lamented that "insiders have latched onto a McCarthyite campaign that calls for government investigations of a wide array of alternative media outlets." ...

New Bill Legalizes Government Propaganda and Disinformation on American Citizens
Published 8 years ago on May 22, 2012
Propaganda that was supposed to target foreigners could now be aimed at Americans, reversing a longstanding policy. "Disconcerting and dangerous," says Shank.
An amendment that would legalize the use of propaganda on American audiences is being inserted into the latest defense authorization bill, BuzzFeed has learned.
The amendment would "strike the current ban on domestic dissemination" of propaganda material produced by the State Department and the independent Broadcasting Board of Governors, according to the summary of the law at the House Rules Committee's official website.
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.
The bi-partisan amendment is sponsored by Rep. Mac Thornberry from Texas and Rep. Adam Smith from Washington State.
...
The new law would give sweeping powers to the government to push television, radio, newspaper, and social media onto the U.S. public. "It removes the protection for Americans," says a Pentagon official who is concerned about the law. "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."
...
The evaporation of Smith-Mundt and other provisions to safeguard U.S. citizens against government propaganda campaigns is part of a larger trend within the diplomatic and military establishment.
In December, the Pentagon used software to monitor the Twitter debate over Bradley Manning's pre-trial hearing; another program being developed by the Pentagon would design software to create "sock puppets" on social media outlets; and, last year, General William Caldwell, deployed an information operations team under his command that had been trained in psychological operations to influence visiting American politicians to Kabul.
A U.S. Army whistleblower, Lieutenant Col. Daniel Davis, noted recently in his scathing 84-page unclassified report on Afghanistan that there remains a strong desire within the defense establishment "to enable Public Affairs officers to influence American public opinion when they deem it necessary to "protect a key friendly center of gravity, to wit US national will," he wrote, quoting a well-regarded general.
