    INGSOC to proactively advance fact-based narratives that support U.S. allies and interests

    ...because of the myth of progress, it is much easier to sell a man an electric razor than a straight-edged one...




    Late on Friday,
    with the US population embracing the upcoming holidays
    and oblivious of most news emerging from the administration...




    Recall that 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.”

    Fast forward to December 8, when the "Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act" passed in the Senate, quietly inserted inside the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Conference Report.



    And now, following Friday's Obama signing of the NDAA on Friday evening, the


    Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act



    is now law.

    Just like that, the US Ministry of Truth is officially born.


    #muhfakenewz = CIA meme shilling for INGSOC; congratulations to all our local "liberty activists" who helped.

    Under the cover of holidays, Obama signs the creation of the Ministry of Truth via the [Domestic] Disinformation and Propaganda Act as part of the Nation "Defense" Authorization Act.
    "The Center will be led by the State Department, but with the active senior level participation of the Department of Defense, USAID, the Broadcasting Board of Governors, the Intelligence Community, and other relevant agencies." - so in other words the Ministry of Truth will be run by the greatest propaganda machines on the planet.

    "The legislation establishes a fund to help train local journalists and provide grants and contracts to NGOs, civil society organizations, think tanks, private sector companies, media organizations, and other experts outside the U.S. government with experience in identifying and analyzing the latest trends in foreign government disinformation techniques."
    - a fund to train journalists to print what we tell them is the "truth"

    From Free Thought Project : http://thefreethoughtproject.com/dis...provision-law/
    In actuality, however, countering propaganda amounts to silencing dissenting opinion — particularly in the press — of anything deemed shining a favorable light on one of the many countries the U.S. considers a foe. ... It also means creating and furthering propaganda of the American government — because, theoretically, you can’t combat foreign agitprop without filling the void with something convincing and favorable to governmental agendas.

    As text of the new law explains, the center will “support the development and dissemination of fact-based narratives and analysis to counter propaganda and disinformation directed at the United States and United States allies and partner nations.” ...
    Indeed, as the law states:
    “The Center is authorized to provide grants or contracts of financial support to civil society groups, media content providers, nongovernmental organizations, federally funded research and development centers, private companies, or academic institutions for the following purposes:

    • To support local independent media who are best placed to refute foreign disinformation and manipulation in their own communities.
    • To collect and store examples in print, online, and social media, disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda directed at the United States and its allies and partners.
    • To analyze and report on tactics, techniques, and procedures of foreign information warfare with respect to disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda.
    • To support efforts by the Center to counter efforts by foreign entities to use disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda to influence the policies and social and political stability of the United States and United States allies and partner nations." ...

    for all intents and purposes, the NDAA’s single phrase, “dissemination of fact-based narratives,” summons a near specter to newspeak, the propagandic and revisionist language created by the Ingsoc government’s Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s now eerily portentous 1984. ..."


    From Liberty Beacon: http://www.thelibertybeacon.com/obam...rry-christmas/
    " long before “fake news” became a major media topic, the US government was already planning its legally-backed crackdown on anything it would eventually label “fake news. ...

    And so, with the likes of WaPo having already primed the general public to equate “Russian Propaganda” with “fake news” (despite admitting after the fact their own report was essentially “fake“), while the US media has indoctrinated the public to assume that any information which is not in compliance with the official government narrative, or dares to criticize the establishment, is also “fake news” and thus falls under the “Russian propaganda” umbrella, the scene is now set for the US government to legally crack down on every media outlet that the government deems to be “foreign propaganda.”

    Propaganda tries to surround man by all possible routes in the realm of feelings as well as ideas, by playing on his will or on his needs, through his conscious and his unconscious, assailing him in both his private and his public life. It furnishes him with a complete system for explaining the world, and provides immediate incentives to action. We are here in the presence of an organized myth that tries to take hold of the entire person. Through the myth it creates, propaganda imposes a complete range of intuitive knowledge, susceptible of only one interpretation, unique and one-sided, and precluding any divergence. This myth becomes so powerful that it invades every arena of consciousness, leaving no faculty or motivation intact. It stimulates in the individual a feeling of exclusiveness, and produces a biased attitude.

    Propaganda must be total. The propagandist must utilize all of the technical means at his disposal — the press, radio, TV, movies, posters, meetings, door-to-door canvassing. Modern propaganda must utilize all of these media. There is no propaganda as long as one makes use, in sporadic fashion and at random, of a newspaper article here, a poster or a radio program there, organizes a few meetings and lectures, writes a few slogans on walls: that is not propaganda.

    Propaganda is a set of methods employed by an organized group that wants to bring about the active or passive participation in its actions of a mass of individuals, psychologically unified through psychological manipulations and incorporated in an organization.

    Hate, hunger, and pride make better levers of propaganda than do love or impartiality.

    Propaganda does not aim to elevate man, but to make him serve.

    -Jacques Ellul

    Congress shall make no law

    Direct attack in the First Amendment.. Needs to be opposed by any and all means available.


    and nothing taken OFF the table.
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    The Bill of Rights is just Russian propaganda, and the founders were sophisticated Russian propaganda agents don't you know.

    The Propaganda Programming of Americans

    The American people are victims. ... Vast amounts of money and resources have been funneled into the research and development of the science of propaganda and psyops for over a century, and this advanced arsenal of psychological weaponry has been pointed squarely at manipulating and controlling the way Americans think and vote for generations. They are the victims of this psychological abuse, and the oligarchs who are using it to rule them are the victimizers. ...

    The plutocrats who own and manipulate the mainstream media must necessarily keep the American people from seeing what they’re up to and turning on them, so they must psychologically abuse them into sedation and compliance. They are abusing the people of the country in which they’ve set up base in order to implement their worldwide agendas.

    Have you ever tried to help a friend or family member get out of a cult? It’s not easy. In fact, most times it’s nearly impossible and it requires more love and patience than many of us have ... The corporatist propaganda machine does all of these [cult programming] with alarming efficiency. ... it’s a propaganda problem. ... All the things you would expect to see in a cult victim, you see in today’s American. ...

    when we finally worked out that we’d been duped about what’s happening in the world, it wasn’t accompanied by a big parade with bunting and a piñata. It was a horrible quiet internal foot-fall of hot-faced humility as we came face to face with our own gullibility. It takes a whole lot of courage to face the fact that you’ve been defrauded. The firebrand lawyer of the DNC fraud lawsuit Elizabeth Lee Beck told me ... that one of the most challenging things about a fraud case for the victim is having the courage to admit that you’re a victim in the first place. ... Realizing you’ve been duped is pretty humbling ...

    America is not its oligarchs. ... The oligarchs are stupid and depraved, not the Americans. It’s the oligarchs whose imagination is so dim that they can’t dream up a solution to a problem that doesn’t involve killing swathes of humans. They are the stupid ones ...

    The American people ... are being propagandized. And it’s not a secret who’s propagandizing them.
