Obama Quietly Signs The "Countering Disinformation And Propaganda Act" Into Law

[psychoslice]

? I get my news from credible news organizations that have a long track record of journalism. You still haven't given an example, nothing. It's sad that propaganda has made you vote one way or the other. Propaganda is powerful, you shouldn't encourage it. It wouldn't be a problem if people weren't so gullible. But that's genetics for ya (evolution)

What CNN lol.

While the intentions seem good, it does seem to leave a potential problem for being used as a tool for silencing criticism.

Criticism isn't propaganda. Unless it is. Propaganda is purely psychologically driven. In America, we can voice our criticism without persecution (freedom of speech.)

But.....if you start lying and scaring people with propaganda techniques disguised as 'criticism,' you should be silenced.

What CNN lol.

Yes CNN. Yes NBC, CBS, ABC. These are credible news organizations. But I understand that your media favorites tell you they aren't. Your media isn't in the business of informing you.

I get most of mine from independent news, I love Trey Gowdy, Alex Jones, and the next news network, I don't really trust the main news networks, they are more or less told what to say, in my opinion that is. But it doesn't matter, we could argue on and on and get nowhere, as I said time will tell.

Obama Quietly Signs The "Countering Disinformation And Propaganda Act" Into Law | Zero Hedge

Don't like the looks of this.

That is waste of of tax money. They know that they has created this law that will be removed because it violates free speech. They are just trying to distract President Trump, making so much of a mess, that President Trump forget about what his goal is. By making this law will mean that is the first thing that President Trump will have to remove that will take up some time. But what President Trump should do, is to look at those Republicans that were involved by keeping it a secret from the public eyes, that President Trump should make sure that he doesn't add them on the list of his trusted associates. That they are working for the establishment. None of these little childish games that they are playing is not going to work. Free speech was made on the account that what had happened to them in England. The king was preventing the people to not assemble as a group and to expressed or shared their own opinions to one another. And so the people has the right to freely express themselves in front of an audience without the government controlling them.

I wish the would have passed a domestic bill preventing Trump from ascending the Presidency through his tirade of propaganda and false narrative. I wish there was a domestic bill for all alt right white nationalist sites and organizations that spew their filth so openly jeapordizing the sanctity of freedom and safety for the so many they propose to vilify through their bane diatribe.

 

[Notanumber]

I wish Donald Trump lives long enough to become the next president.

I hope he at least learns to spell first or comes good on his 'unpresidented' claim.

Funny that mentally ill people would support Trump, when he's going to be the first person to take away or reduce their disability income and medical benefits, except some of them don't even live in America, and get all those benefits for free from their own Government, no matter what Trump does to the poor disabled people in America.

 

[Revoltingest]

What, specifically, don't you like?

The bill sounds innocent enuf, eh?
Now.....imagine Trump eyeing it, & thinking to himself....
"Hmmm.....I like this! Critics beware....boooowhwhwhwwhahahahahahaahhaha, etc!")

It is a scare tactic that they are playing to those that had opposes them. And using tax dollars to create an over the night organization to police those that are not spreading their truth, that cost the tax-payers a lot of money. All President Trump will automatically stop that budget and create his own task force that will fact-check all those media that are putting out untrue facts. And he should put Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning and Eric Snowden in charge of checking the facts of all media that are out there, even including ABC, NBC, CBS. And fine those major corporation Media like CBS,ABC, NBC a one trillion dollars fine for the first offense. And he need to make sure that the major ones can only have thirty days to pay the whole fine. If not, that they will have to stop broadcasting right at the moment. And which that will help out with the deficit.

Criticism isn't propaganda. Unless it is. Propaganda is purely psychologically driven. In America, we can voice our criticism without persecution (freedom of speech.)

Let's be realistic: dictionary definitions will be irrelative. If we get the wrong types in power, what will we have to stop them? There won't be anything, because now all they'll have to do is get what they don't like labeled as propaganda. A cult of personality not driven by how much the ruling class puts into it, but by how much their critics feed it.

Me too. Four years of Pence as governor was bad enough. Four years of him as President would be a disaster for everyone in America who doesn't adhere to Conservative Christian ideology.

The fact that he quietly signed it should give others a clue that this is bad news.

If they quietly signed it, that means a whole lot of people won't know about it. If they did, they would protest. It's harder to get rid of a law that's already signed that one that is proposed.

Knowing that he's an elitist like the others, pretty much anything he signs will be bad and not for our benefit. They want more for themselves and less for everyone else. Including freedom, money, food, ect.

Sounds like he's trying to create his own "Ministry of Truth" and will decide what is "disinformation" Meaning anything that goes against the government must be bad.

And people thought conspiracy theorists were nuts when they were predicting stuff like this.

New The fact that he quietly signed it should give others a clue that this is bad news.

Just because some toolish hacks say he quietly signed it doesn't mean he did. It actually seems to have had bipartisan support. And, let's be honest, most people don't know much of what is going on in DC. Swaths of people don't know what congregational district they live in, or who is over it. When you're not intentionally bombarding yourself with political news, most things are "silently" passed, even at town halls and city councils.

Sounds like he's trying to create his own "Ministry of Truth" and will decide what is "disinformation" Meaning anything that goes against the government must be bad.

That's just ridiculous. The man has not even a full month left in office. What good would it do him to "create his own" anything at this point?

He has been starting his Ministry of Truth. He just taken it over this ministry from the president before. They has been blocking the truth from entering the main stream. They all has been corporate shills. But President Trump is not nobody shill. Right now they are trying to control the flows of lies that they has already put out there. And they are trying to make sure that all of their hard work doesn't go down the tube behind one man. And so they are trying their best to stop President Trump ffrom bringing in the truth.

That's not news. That's part of your problem. You don't trust main news because your 'independent news' tells you not to. And you believe them.

Very dangerous.

White people are racists if they disagree with him.

He cannot stand being Trumped.

At least Bush had the decency to hand over the presidency respectably.
