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

Late on Friday, with the US population embracing the upcoming holidays and oblivious of most news emerging from the administration, Obama quietly signed into law the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which authorizes $611 billion for the military in 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."
Much of the balance of Obama's statement blamed the GOP for Guantanamo's continued operation and warned that "unless the Congress changes course, it will be judged harshly by history," Obama said. Obama also said Congress failed to use the bill to reduce wasteful overhead (like perhaps massive F-35 cost overruns?) or modernize military health care, which he said would exacerbate budget pressures facing the military in the years ahead.



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."

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

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Berlin plans ‘center of defense against fake news’ ahead of elections – report

The German government is seeking to create a center of defense against disinformation ahead of next year’s elections, in the wake of ongoing “fake news” and "Russian hackers" hysteria generated during the election cycle in the United States.
The Federal Press Office in the Chancellery, which has a staff of over 500 professionals, will take the leading role in establishing the fake news defense center, Der Spiegel reported quoting a note from an anonymous Interior Ministry staff member.

The creation of the center “should be negotiated very quickly,” the magazine said quoting the note, which also urged that political parties establish ground rules for the 2017 election campaigns. According to report, the Interior Ministry also urged politicians not to use social bots and disinformation techniques during the election cycle.

What do you suspect when the average person has the attention span of an infant? All they care about are sounds bites, nothing more.......

[Riddick]

Would you believe according to a Microsoft study, while In 2000 the average attention span was 12 seconds, it's now fallen to just eight? Which is a second less than that of a goldfish?

I'd write more, but that'd be pushing it.

Twitter, testing, instagram et al have set the bar for the next generation, and those to follow. No in-depth analysis, but bullet points.

Point of reference - started watching the new season of Vikings, and was reminded that long ago I had bought a copy of an old book on Alfred the Great and started re-reading it again last week. The book was written in 1897 and the language and style of writing was totally different (and far more informative) that today.

IMHO - the new signing is all part of a planned dumb down of society.

And it worked. It has been going on for a very long time the old "Frogs in the water" routine. Especially for those with the coveted "D" label that they have placed by their names. They simply cannot see that the liberal path they have embraced, is on fire and only leads to their own destruction. The worst of the worst are the highly educated idiots, teaching the young minds of mush, the same crap of the "Utopian" life, that never will exist on this planet! Because not one of the billions of people on this planet are equal, absolutely None are the same.

I understand for most it is hard to believe that we some how got a hold of An American(?) President that literally hates the country and the people of the country, who has sold his soul to destroy and trash everyone and every thing, that does not Bend His Way. I see no difference between the Cult of Obama and Minions than that of
Jim Jones. People will align themselves with their "Abuser" with rock solid loyalty, it is a horrible, hopeless ,humorless, joyless"Trap".
