"In 2013, it was legalized in the United States to propagandize its citizens."
A closer look at the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act:
In 2013, under Obama, the United States repealed its propaganda ban, which allowed the Government to spread its government-made news to Americans.
For decades, the anti-propaganda law prevented the U.S. government’s mammoth broadcasting arm from delivering programming to American audiences.
The result: an unleashing of thousands of hours per week of government-funded radio and TV programs for domestic U.S. consumption.
The reform effectively nullified the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948, which was amended in 1985 SPECIFICALLY to prohibit U.S. organizations from using information to influence public opinion in the United States.
Then in 2020, during COVID, the government weaponized the media against its own citizens in the greatest psychological fear campaign in human history.
