The NDAA act now allows domestic propaganda, comerades
« on: January 16, 2013, 04:38:27 AM »


From the link here:

Quote
The second troubling part of this Act is the uplifting of ban on domestic propaganda.  Congressmen Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) and Adam Smith (D-Wash.) introduced "The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012" (H.R. 5736) last week during discussions for the NDAA 2013. This updates the Smith-Mundt act of 1948 and Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987 allowing for domestic propaganda by the Government. While the logic of the Act seems to be to counter the propaganda of Al-Qaeda and other groups’ intent on false anti-American propaganda, the logic of "countering fire with fire," seems a bit far-fetched. The American public is getting wiser and one hopes that taxpayer dollars are not spent on propaganda campaigns.

There's no need for Govt propaganda .
We've had the MSM handling that for the dems for years.

I'm a very bad driver.  I look forward to taking Hitler with me should I bite the big one.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
