The Ministry of Truth has now been established into law. (copy and pasted) Here is the full statement issued by the generously funded Senator Rob Portman (R- Ohio) on the singing into law of a bill that further chips away at press liberties in the US, and which sets the stage for future witch hunts and website shutdowns, purely as a result of an accusation that any one media outlet or site is considered as a source of "disinformation and propaganda" and is shut down by the government. The Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act is now law.
Last Fri. when everyone was last minuet shopping for Christmas pressies Obama signed into law this Act.
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. It was a bill burried in the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2017. Pretty clever huh? You can read all about the Act
HERE on Republican Sen. Rob Portman's web site. He's the guy that decided no-way was he going to support Trump and Obama then made him the bi-partisan factor in his announcement that it was a bi-partisan effort.
Free speech? Oh that's old fashioned, outdated, not progressive thinking, we need some political correctness and sit up straight, eat right and exercise crap to keep us in line. War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength which is one of three slogans of the English socialist party of Oceana in George Orwell's novel 1984. We're gettin there.
