Title: Congress Approves Measure for Crusade Against “Fake News” — Using DoD Funding

Congress is ready to join the crusade against so-called “fake news,” forwarding a measure through the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to combat purported foreign propaganda and disinformation. The news comes after mainstream media have been busy promoting bogus blacklists, lashing out at those who dare question the narrative. According to VOA:

“A congressional committee on Wednesday approved the measure, which would expand the ability of the State Department’s Global Engagement Center to identify and combat online disinformation. It still must be voted on by the full House and Senate and signed by the president before taking effect…

The measure advanced this week would draw on the resources of the Defense Department, intelligence agencies, the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Broadcasting Board of Governors — parent organization to Voice of America and other U.S. government-funded international broadcasters — according to the Washington Post newspaper.”

The effort grew out of the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act and would supposedly stick to foreign targets. However, the Snowden revelations made us well aware that government is ready and willing to turn its powers on domestic targets — without notification.

The fact that this $160 million, two-year authorization is being advanced through the annual military budget makes it all the more disconcerting. Under the guise of the war on terror, the NDAA has been used to increase Executive authority, and the 2012 version went so far as to authorize the indefinite military detention of U.S. civilians without habeus corpus.

In promoting the bill, Sen. Chris Murphy gave the Washington Post some propaganda to repeat, saying, “In the wake of this election, it’s pretty clear that the U.S. does not have the tools to combat this massive disinformation machinery that the Russians are running.

Another cheerleader, Sen. Rob Portman, said, “[Russia and China] spend vast sums of money on advanced broadcast and digital media capabilities, targeted campaigns, funding of foreign political movements, and other efforts to influence key audiences and populations.

Naturally, the Washington Post did not analyze these statements, and failed to mention that last year the Pentagon ramped up its information war through the STRATCOM program. Based in Latvia, on the front lines of the new Cold War, this program merges “psychological operations, propaganda and public affairs under the catch phrase ‘strategic communications.’”

This “new temple to information technology” represents the latest evolution in a decades-long effort to control the narrative so U.S. military hegemony can advance unchecked, making endless war the norm. The control and manipulation of information is now viewed as a “soft power” weapon.

To battle fake news and foreign propaganda, the U.S. merely engages in a bigger and better form of fake news and propaganda.

But why would they need a new Congressional initiative to combat purported Russian propaganda if they already have STRATCOM? Considering the establishment’s war on alternative media and those who legitimately question the narrative, the NDAA measure could be frightening indeed.

More than one blacklist has been propagated through mainstream media – with no evidence or rational justification – lumping reputable news and opinion sources with actual “fake news.”

The Washington Post wins the prize for most desperate attempt, suggesting that around 200 websites – including this one – are willing co-conspirators or “useful idiots” in a massive Russian propaganda campaign. The list included longtime, respected outlets such as Ron Paul Institute, Consortium News, Truth Dig, AntiWar.com and others.

To advance this claim, Craig Timberg referenced a group called PropOrNot, although no research or evidence was provided, nor were the people behind the list revealed. We’re supposed to just take their word for it, because they are the hallowed mainstream media.

So it’s no surprise that Timberg proudly wrote a Washington Post article trumpeting the Congressional measure as “the most significant initiative against foreign governments’ disinformation campaigns since the 1990s.”

The reference to “foreign governments’” rings hollow, as this is the same author pushing a McCarthyist crusade against American outlets. Authentic analysis of U.S. foreign policy is anathema to the Washington establishment, whose think-tanks generate endless war as “primary provocateurs” with MSM outlets acting as “secondary communicators.”

Timberg and fellow crusaders don’t seem to appreciate the fact that we criticize the war-mongering of all governments, not just America’s. Hillary was exposed as a key player in this perpetuation of endless war.

The rise of Donald Trump – whose authoritarian tendencies may turn out to be even worse for the cause of peace – doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have called out Hillary. It means the system is broken.

Washington Post Reporter Spreads Blacklist of Independent Journalist Sites

Craig Timberg, a Washington Post reporter with an interesting history (which we’ll get to shortly), doubled down last night with a new article suggesting that Congressional legislation may be coming to further crack down on independent journalists not properly adhering to the dogma of Washington. Timberg has become the deserving piñata of writers like Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone, Ben Norton and Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept, Max Blumenthal of AlterNet, Robert Parry at Common Dreams and numerous other writers at alternative media.

“Fake news and Russian propaganda have become the great post-election moral panic, a creeping Sharia-style conspiracy theory for shell-shocked liberals. Hoping to punish the dark foreign forces they blame for rigging the election, many of these insiders have latched onto a McCarthyite campaign that calls for government investigations of a wide array of alternative media outlets.”

Too bad Gatlin is too stupid to realize that the "fake news" scam was devised by the liberal media in response to Trump winning the election.

Since the government controls domain names, assign all these sites a .fn (fake news) instead of a .com designation. For example, you would have freethoughtproject.fn

After 6-12 months of monitoring, if the website posted real news, then it would be assigned a .com designation.

Crawl back in your hole.

You are too dense to understand that the entire "Fake News" Psy-Op was engineered by the dying MSM and the liberal elite in retaliation for Trump winning the election

“Fake news and Russian propaganda have become the great post-election moral panic, a creeping Sharia-style conspiracy theory for shell-shocked liberals.

But by all means, keep plugging along with your water-carrying for the liberal press.

Meet The Leftist Professor Who Wrote The 'Hit List' Of "Fake News" Sites

Actually, Fake News, also called News Satire is a type of parody presented in a format typical of mainstream journalism, and calledsatire because of its content.

Not all of the sites listed as "Fake News" are satire. Most are alternative sites run by tireless, dedicated, truth-seeking journalists (real journalists, not the kind you trust).

"Fake News" used in this context is a term created by the leftist media (working from a "list" created by a leftist professor) because the alternative media were instrumental in enabling Hillary's defeat.

Zimdars published and circulated a list of “fake, false, or regularly misleading websites that are shared on Facebook and social media.” She said she began writing the list because she didn’t approve of the sources her students were citing.

The problem?

In addition to some satirical and bogus sites, her list attacks the credibility of well-established news organizations such as Breitbart, BizPac Review, Red State, the Blaze, the Independent Journal Review, Twitchy, the Daily Wire, WND and James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas. In many cases (such as with her WND listing), she offers no explanation for why the news organizations were included on the list.

Mainstream media outlets such as the Los Angeles Times circulated Zimdars’ growing list. The Times headlined its story, “Want to keep fake news out of your newsfeed? College professor creates list of sites to avoid.” The Times offered no details concerning Zimdars’ qualifications or background.

News organizations such as CNN, the Washington PostBoston Globe, New York Magazine, USA Today, Business Insider, the Austin American-Statesman, the Dallas Morning News and others spread the list like gospel and cited it in their reports.

You're too stupid to realize that the many of what you refer to as "fake news" sites (Infowars for one) were instrumental in getting Trump elected - that's the reason the psy-op was instigated.

Gatlin's a real piece of work, isn't he...a gullible sheep who cannot express any opinion that is not approved by fed.gov and wants to use the power of the State to punish dissenters.

The deluded sheep thinks the only "real" news comes from here:

Fake News sites are web sites that attempt to play on gullible people who do not check sources and will just pass the news on as if it were really true.

Say --- you certainly have a lot in common with the leftist prof who made up the "fake news" list.

Mainstream media outlets such as the Los Angeles Times circulated Zimdars’ growing list. The Times headlined its story, “Want to keep fake news out of your newsfeed? College professor creates list of sites to avoid.” The Times offered no details concerning Zimdars’ qualifications or background.

Good ole Gatlin...spouting the propaganda of the MSM outlets and the Democrats, too fucking stupid to realize that the reason for the "fake news" Psy-op is to censor sites that dissent from the official narrative of events, question the honesty and integrity of government officials and expose criminal and corrupt actions by said government.

And Gatlin is too fucking stupid to understand that the war on "fake news" is a reaction to Trump winning the election.

Frigging establishment tool!
