Obama legalized domestic propaganda by govt...

Finally someone in Congress is talking about this (go Massie)! 

 

In 2013, under President Barack Obama, a quiet but significant change was made to U.S. law.

One that potentially altered the boundary between government messaging and public trust.

It was called the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act.

 

And it effectively removed long-standing protections that once prevented the U.S. government from broadcasting propaganda back into the American public.

 

For over six decades, the original Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 ensured something critical.

 

Any media, news, or psychological operations created by agencies like the State Department or Voice of America for foreign audiences...

 

Could not be used to influence American citizens.

 

This firewall existed to prevent the state from manipulating its own people with taxpayer-funded messaging.

 

But in 2013, that firewall was quietly taken down.

 

No press conference.

 

No public debate.

 

Just a few paragraphs tucked into a massive military budget bill.

 

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

 

This opened the door to state-controlled narratives reaching domestic audiences under the guise of "public diplomacy."

 

Government-funded media, originally created to sway opinion overseas...

 

Can now legally be disseminated within the U.S.

 

Potentially blurring the line between foreign influence campaigns and domestic information control.

And while supporters claimed this was about transparency...

 

The reality is that it gave agencies unprecedented freedom to shape public perception.

 

By legalizing propaganda on our own people.

 

This change, signed into law under President Obama...

 

Quietly transformed the American information landscape.

 

And most citizens never even knew it happened.

 

Think about everything you've witnessed since 2013.

 

The coordinated messaging.

 

The narrative control.

 

The way entire news cycles seem scripted.

 

Now you know why.

 

They made it legal.

 

What do you think about the US government using propaganda against its own citizens?

P.S. Representative Massie is one of the few in Congress willing to talk about this openly. We need more people asking these questions. Hit reply and let me know your thoughts.
