I believe this thread is a response to the bill on the Senate floor regarding propaganda which may be voted on as early as next week and would legalize the use of foreign propiganda at home.

Many of you are aware that we have a CIA, NSA, and other such organizations. On a world scale, the CIA can launch operations that discredit other governments or support other governments in a way that benefits the United States. This is rather straight forward.

The new legislation would allow such operations to be conducted at home. In effect, this would redefine the beneficiary from the people of the United States to the government of the United States (or those in control of the government). This may appear insignificant but it is a major legal reclarification.


Here is an example:

A non-profit organization is lobbying for increased government spending on GMO labeling (genetically modified organism). Excluding a tax increase, this means less funding for something else. The majority of the federal government is not interested in this issue. In response the new law is applied and the group, along with other similar groups is defimated. The leader is made to be a massochist, allegations of terrorism are propigated against various members of these groups in the media. Attempts to clear the allegations are thwarted by shielding from the new law. Further legal action to refute the original propiganda could be met with, you guessed it, more propiganda.

Hopefully this helps to quanitfy the effect of the new law if passed into legislation.
