An amendment that would legalize the use of propaganda on American audiences is being inserted into the latest defense authorization bill, BuzzFeed has learned.
The amendment would âstrike the current ban on domestic disseminationâ of propaganda material produced by the State Department and the Pentagon, according to the summary of the law at the House Rules Committee's official website.
This bill would allow government to report anything as truth without any repercussions
The tweak to the bill would essentially neutralize two previous actsâthe Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and Foreign Relations Authorization Act in 1987âthat had been passed to protect U.S. audiences from our own governmentâs misinformation campaigns.

I think it has been that way for a long time now, they are just now getting around to putting it in writing.
My question to anyone is this
How will financial statements from government be trusted if they can legally lie.
Cheers everyone
